[QUOTE="ISDhillon, post: 21290, member: 1987"] Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!! WE NEEDED TO DRAFT AND ADOPT A CIVILLIAN CONSTITUTION WHICH IS BINDING ON THE WHOLE OF HUMANITY NOT JUST SIKHS!! Education and ideology of civilian rights are half-baked in civilised countries, Sikhs needed to make more of an effort in reforming constitutional rights of civilians whatever their creed, of protecting the right to self-determination of all civilians. The ISC needed a constitution that did not reflect the status of guru panth but the reason why guru panth was created, the constitution that was drawn up should have been to protect civilians or empower individuals to defend themselves OTHERWISE WE ARE NOT LIVING OUT THE GURU PANTH JUST REPRESENTING IT AND THAT IS NOT THE PURPOSE OF GURU PANTH THERE WILL ALWAYS BE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL THREATS. It should be about targeting countries that have a bad humans rights records and working with leaders of different countries to reform them and give humans back their rightful status as free people. We should make the state recognise and acknowledge the sovereignty of all human beings. Because we are the shining example that countries and boundaries mean squat because it is man who is free this freedom cannot be denied to man, governments and groups of people just refuse to recognise the sovereignty of man. In Sikh history we see that there has been a strong martial record, I want to discuss the strategy, and I am bound to make mistakes in my objective interpretation so forgive me, that has been deployed in such war encounters. It seems to me that throughout history communities have tried to rule territories and construct laws on people. However, the Sikhs have allowed for these communities to initially form ie, no pre-emptive removal. Why is this? My personal opinion of this is a religios-military strategy which seeks to falsify any notion of rule by majority, religion or ideology by allowing the rulers to make potential targets of themselves first (revolution). There was never any attempt to prevent the influence or infiltration of the tyrants into mainstream society, it is as if everyone took a backseat and when and as the tyrants kept misusing there authority to carry out atrocities then the Sikhs attacked and removed such powers (justification). Now today the problems are not the same a new problem arises, we have a communal disturbance. An invisible entity within a country and a fight (terrorism) from within the boundaries of a country. In this instance we don’t have a target: should we allow the evil ones to take power first so that a target becomes more visible? In terms of victory?, unless the communal invisible entity would like to remain invisible then the community can never have power because their militant tactics contradict their purpose, ie they themselves take a replaceable position because they become more visible and a potential target when forming a government.
