On a suggestion offered by Prof. Manjit Singh, it was decided that he would be interrogated by holding a videoconference and his replies recorded. Mr. kala Afgana was ordered to reach a Gurdwara in Canada at a given time. He was told that contact was not getting established and so he would be informed about the next date later on.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> Before fixing the next date, ‘5 Singh Sahibaan’ assembled at Amritsar and without referring to their earlier decision of video conferencing, they imposed a ban on the study, sale and publication of all books of Mr. Kala Afgana (including those which are yet to be published), and forgetting the fact that they themselves had exempted Mr. Kala afgana from coming to India, they issued a new order that he should appear at Sri Akal Takhat Sahib. If someone is placed in such circumstances that he himself is not in a position of visiting India, what is the sense of compelling him to appear? Has he committed a murder that his personal appearance is essential? </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> Before getting these books printed, he had sent their manuscripts to the Akal Takhat Jathedar, the SGPC, Dharma Prachar Committee and dozens of other Sikh organizations and personages with the request that any objectionable entry in them may be pointed out to him by citing at least 5 hymns from Sri Guru Granth Sahib, so that the books could be amended and revised. But till today no citation has been given by any one which might show that his writings are voilative of gurmat. Even now, if, according to Jathedars, only 6 lines are objectionable, those can be got deleted and there appears to be no reason to impose a ban on all his books. Preventing the Sikh panth from reading his books, amounts to putting restrictions on the dissemination of knowledge. Illiterates or unlettered people don’t read books. Educated people are capable of deciding as to what is right and what is not. Only dictators put ban on books, for they cannot counter other side’s viewpoint. Tyrants impose ban on books so as to keep the society as dump-driven sheep. It is such a harsh and cruel step that even Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, who was known to be extremely cruel ruler, refrained from taking. The fact that he did not impose a ban on Sri Guru Granth Sahib is a solid proof of it. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> But how did 5-Singh Sahibaan, who had exempted Mr. Kala afgana from appearing at Sri Akal Takhat Sahib, reverse their earlier decision without citing a solid reason for that. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">The 5 ‘Granthis’ and Mr. Joginder Singh Talwara sitting at akal takhat have declared Mr. kala Afgana a ‘ Tankhahiya’ for failing to appear personally and clarify the charges leveled against him. On being asked why they have changed their earlier decision of permitting Mr. Kala afgana to give clarification through video-conferencing, they replied,” it is the sweet will of ‘Singh Sahibaan’. They can very well change their decision.”</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">‘The times of India’ of 12th may 2003 describes Jathedar Vedanti as a puppet in the hands of Mr. Badal. Will such a person who doesnot stand by his commitments and dances in the tune of politications be able to maintain Akal Takhat’s honour and prestige? </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> Why did he go back on video conferencing with Sardar kala Afgana? It is because he realized that everything would be recorded and such issues would also crop up which would involve him in such a labyrinth from which he will not be able to extricate himself. Ban on the sale of books & harsh decisions like that of excommunication from the panth are not very proper. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> Such a thick coating of Brahminism has come to cover the prevalent Sikh practices & traditions that if some scholar tries to remove this coating, he, instead of being regarded as a surgeon who intends to cure the body, is regarded as a killer or murderer. This is what happened with Mr. Kala afgana. While sifting and sieving the current Sikh practices and traditions in order to rid Sikhism of Brahminical practices, he has cited 5 hymes each in support of his conclusions and has proved beyond any doubt that what we are doing in the name of religion is not the guru’s philosophy but is Brahminical thought and that it is our interest to get rid of it. But Jathedars imposed ban on his books and excommunicate him from panth. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">The following reasons seems to be guiding the Jathedars from this move:</span></span></p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Behind this move there seems to be the pressure of the RSS and its supporters through S. Parkash Singh Badal, who doesn’t want the Sikh traditions to be rid of Hindu rites and rituals.</span></span></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Second force working behind it is that of Akal Takhat Jathedar’s vindictiveness resulting from Mr. Kala Afgana’s criticism of jathedar-edited “Gurbilas Patshai-6”{articles appeared in Spokesman magazine} that it violates Gurmat and projects Vishnu as the deity for the Sikhs, and which caused much embarrassment and humiliation to the Jathedar Sahib and the SGPC. Therefore, if the Jathedar himself takes a decision under some pressure or out of a feeling of revengefulness, how can such a decision be considered fit for being obeyed? Now, besides many other people even Jathadar Jagdev singh Talwindi, a former SGPC President, has stated at a meeting of SGPC that there are many Anti-Gurmat chapters in “Gurbilas Patshai-6” and it is very unfortunate that such a book has been edited by Jathedar Akal Takhat and have been published at the cost of SGPC itself. Will any action be taken against these people too? If not, why is action being taken only against Mr. Kala Afgana, who prior to the publication of his books had sent manuscripts to Jathedar and SGPC for approval. At that time nobody said anything. </span></span></li> </ul><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> When kala Afgana’s book “Gurbilas Patshai-6, Gurbani di kasauti te” published and it highlighted the anti-gurmat text in it, then Mr. Vedanti wake up and banned his own edited book.</span></span></p><p> </p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"> Damdami Taksal and Akhand kirtani Jatha are the two good sets of Sikh panth. However, their past leaders and chiefs had unfortunately written some such things in their books as were totally in contradiction to Gurmat philosophy. Bhai Randhir Singh and Sant Gurbachan Singh are the reverted leaders of the Sikhs but their writings have become irrefutable for their followers while Gurbaksh Singh kala afgana believes that anyone who violates the principles of Gurmat, no matters how big he is, must be criticized. It is because of this that he made critical references about both Bhai Randhir Singh and Sant Gurbachan Singh in his books. </span></span></li> </ul><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Example: - Giani Gurbachan Singh Bhindranwale of Damdami Taksal has written in his book “ Gurbani Path Darshan” that an Amritdhari wont go to hell for 10000 years, irrespective of the number of sins he has committed. When Mr. Kala afgana wrote against such canards, the taksal people deleted these words from the next edition of the book, but did not give up their pledge to teach a lesson to kala Afgana. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Similarly at many places in Kala Afgana’s book “Maas Maas kar Moorakh Jhegrea” he has given references of Bhai Randhir Singh’s “Tat Gurmat Nirnay” and Bhai Joginder Singh Talwara’s “Tau Kyo Murgi Mare”, that how both of them misuses Gurbani, as their viakhya does not matches with that of Bhai Gurdass ji’ “Gurbani Darpan.”</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Both Damdami Taksal and Akhand kirtani Jatha follow their own maryada, which is entirely different from the “Sikh Rehat Maryada” of Akal Takhat but no Jathedar takes any action against them. Even their own created maryada of both parties does not match with each other.</span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Similarly, the criticism of Mr. Vedanti’ book, “Gurbilas Patshai-6” made Mr. Kala afgana a source of vexation to him. In this manner, the RSS lobby, Akhand kirtni Jatha and Mr. Vedanti’s own personal grouse are turning into a noose around Sardar kala Afgana’ s neck whereas the fact remains that the 4 parties, including their 5th collaborator, the SGPC, themselves are guilty of committing gross violation of Gurmat. If all these parties, as are working overtime to hang kala Afgana, care to look at their own doings, in the matter of committing violations of Gurmat. Charges against them already stand proved, while the charges against Mr. Kala afgana have never been proved, nor will they ever be proved because those are the outcomes of sectarian jealousy and personal vendetta only. </span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Wrong decisions taken by “granthis”,“jathedars”and “singh sahibans” till now are:</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Wingdings'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Ø</span> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">shaheeds of baj baj ghat (kamagata maru ship) were declared non-sikh by jathedar of akal takhat.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Wingdings'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Ø</span> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">General dyre who killed hundreds of Sikhs in Jaliyawala bagh was honored with “guru ka Sikh” and was invited to harmandar sahib by jathedar and rewarded by “sirapao”.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Wingdings'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Ø</span> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Sardar gurmukh singh, who starded singh sabha lehar, was excommunicated from sikh panth by jathedar of akal takhat.

[/SIZE][/FONT][/LIST][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman] When kala Afgana’s book “Gurbilas Patshai-6, Gurbani di kasauti te” published and it highlighted the anti-gurmat text in it, then Mr. Vedanti wake up and banned his own edited book.[/FONT][/SIZE] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [LIST] [*][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman] Damdami Taksal and Akhand kirtani Jatha are the two good sets of Sikh panth. However, their past leaders and chiefs had unfortunately written some such things in their books as were totally in contradiction to Gurmat philosophy. Bhai Randhir Singh and Sant Gurbachan Singh are the reverted leaders of the Sikhs but their writings have become irrefutable for their followers while Gurbaksh Singh kala afgana believes that anyone who violates the principles of Gurmat, no matters how big he is, must be criticized. It is because of this that he made critical references about both Bhai Randhir Singh and Sant Gurbachan Singh in his books. [/FONT][/SIZE][/LIST][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Example: - Giani Gurbachan Singh Bhindranwale of Damdami Taksal has written in his book “ Gurbani Path Darshan” that an Amritdhari wont go to hell for 10000 years, irrespective of the number of sins he has committed. When Mr. Kala afgana wrote against such canards, the taksal people deleted these words from the next edition of the book, but did not give up their pledge to teach a lesson to kala Afgana. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Similarly at many places in Kala Afgana’s book “Maas Maas kar Moorakh Jhegrea” he has given references of Bhai Randhir Singh’s “Tat Gurmat Nirnay” and Bhai Joginder Singh Talwara’s “Tau Kyo Murgi Mare”, that how both of them misuses Gurbani, as their viakhya does not matches with that of Bhai Gurdass ji’ “Gurbani Darpan.”[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Both Damdami Taksal and Akhand kirtani Jatha follow their own maryada, which is entirely different from the “Sikh Rehat Maryada” of Akal Takhat but no Jathedar takes any action against them. Even their own created maryada of both parties does not match with each other.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Similarly, the criticism of Mr. Vedanti’ book, “Gurbilas Patshai-6” made Mr. Kala afgana a source of vexation to him. In this manner, the RSS lobby, Akhand kirtni Jatha and Mr. Vedanti’s own personal grouse are turning into a noose around Sardar kala Afgana’ s neck whereas the fact remains that the 4 parties, including their 5th collaborator, the SGPC, themselves are guilty of committing gross violation of Gurmat. If all these parties, as are working overtime to hang kala Afgana, care to look at their own doings, in the matter of committing violations of Gurmat. Charges against them already stand proved, while the charges against Mr. Kala afgana have never been proved, nor will they ever be proved because those are the outcomes of sectarian jealousy and personal vendetta only.
