Sat Sri Akal to all,

Well just noted in this recent BBC article how intolerance is unfortunantly still widely among the population at large in India.

Should be noted, at leas the comedian in the article got the chance to go back to a safeheaven i.e. his homeland. I guess Sikhs are forever stuck in the midst of a corrupt neo-nazi indian government with a puppet in Manmohan Singh to blindly guide us.

Take a look at the article, you'll understand why I call for greater unity amongst the Sikh nation - and no I do not mean just necessarily Khalistan = solution to all problems; I mean actual unity amongst all international sikhs.

Just a thought.

How Sikhs are divided in this context ? How every thing should be blamed on Hindus only? Kindly elaborate, I couldn't read your quoted article.
Give a list of Manmohan Singh ji should have done, let the people know how, what and where he has missed it. I strongly believe, there is no conflict, people create it.:)

Sat sri akal ji,

Thanks for the well reasoned question; I did keep my post very brief but I will elaborate.

Firstly, I didn't mean to say "blame everything on hindus" - my use of the term Hindu here was out of place, my apologies, but what I meant was that the RSS, Shiv Sena and basically all Hindu Nationalists - STILL STRIKE BLOWS AT THE Sikhs, Muslims, and Christians of India.

They are a stain on the Indian government: but this is the question I ask. WHY ARE THESE HINDU NATIONALISTS STILL IN POWER?

In Britan the BNP or NF, or even Neo-Nazis REMAIN UNDERGROUND/OUT OF THE WAY. I cannot understand how India blindly allows such persons to stay in power. MORE IMPORTATLY - WE SIKHS ARE IN THE SAME MESS.

This brings me onto my second point. We have a 'Sikh' prime-minister, but as I mentioned before, the grip Indian politics is held in under the Hindu Nationalists, mean really and truely 'he has no real power'.

I do not wish to go on about this; my point in relation to Manmohan Singh is simple, we Sikhs are a divided bunch that cannot seek shelter from OURSELVES.

This brings me onto my final point. Sikhs are a DIVIDED faith. Guru Nanak proclaimed: "there is no hindu, no muslum" - Nanak talks of a new world order where there is no religion - only worship in the TRUE god. Guru Nanak knew the Muslims were stuck in their old ways and Hindus (as the Guru Granth sahib says NOT ME) "the hindus worshipping their stones will drown just like a stone in water".

Now the fact of the matter is this, I will list FACTS of current state from first glance (imagine what problems we will see if we dig deeper).

[I WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASISE: The principle of Sikhi IS PERFECT - Guru Granth Sahib says it all; unadultered word of god. The "concept" works absolutly well].

1. We have a caste system - there is no shying away from that. We need full eradication of this (by education of Sikhi).

2. We have a corrupt Sikh political system: Akali Dal, controlled by BADAL. Today Sikhs are voting our 'enemies' into power - we have already killed off a political system. Sikhi and politics have been mixed WHEN WE WERE FORBIDDEN (miri and piri).

As a result, we have politicians who pay money for Sikh events FOR VOTES, we have politicians pay money into THEIR OWN POCKETS, when farmers Hang themselves over having no money to pay for debts.

3. We Sikhs as a whole (myself included) have VERY little education about REAL Sikhi. We Sikhs have made a system ourselves which is distant from the vision Guru Nanak had.

I honestly feel we Sikhs have a lot more to learn; I AM NOT SAYING ALL HOPE IS LOST. I see the "new" sikhs in America, South America, etc who are embracing Sikhi and existing Sikhs teaching themselves through the use of the internet to Strenghten their spirit.

We need REFORM. Simple. I listed 3 confusing things above. The last point is my main point. The first two are examples of how the list could just go on and on.

Let me have your view on this, and please if you are reading "SAY SOMETHING". We all need to discuss such matters to LEARN of each other - that is the basic step of being a Sikh (be a learner - not closed minded).

Sorry for sounding confusing at times. wrote this in a rush.

Gurdip Chana.

Sat sri akal ji,
Sat Sree Akaal Ji !

Please call them fundamentalists but not Hindus because there are a lot of Hindu brothers who like you and I want to live in peace.

They are a stain on the Indian government: but this is the question I ask. WHY ARE THESE HINDU NATIONALISTS STILL IN POWER?
When people get brain washed in the name of religion, they many time rally around very dangerous people, it happens in all countries, so no surprise.

In Britan the BNP or NF, or even Neo-Nazis REMAIN UNDERGROUND/OUT OF THE WAY. I cannot understand how India blindly allows such persons to stay in power. MORE IMPORTATLY - WE Sikhs ARE IN THE SAME MESS.
Exactly

This brings me onto my second point. We have a 'Sikh' prime-minister, but as I mentioned before, the grip Indian politics is held in under the Hindu Nationalists, mean really and truely 'he has no real power'.
His not being in real power takes away any blame put on him, even if he resigns, it establishes nothing. So move on. Indians need to replace old leaders for the unity of the country.

I do not wish to go on about this; my point in relation to Manmohan Singh is simple, we Sikhs are a divided bunch that cannot seek shelter from OURSELVES.

This brings me onto my final point. Sikhs are a DIVIDED faith. Guru Nanak proclaimed: "there is no hindu, no muslum" - Nanak talks of a new world order where there is no religion - only worship in the TRUE god. Guru Nanak knew the Muslims were stuck in their old ways and Hindus (as the Guru Granth Sahib says NOT ME) "the hindus worshipping their stones will drown just like a stone in water".
Sikhs who do not want to follow Sree Guru Granth Sahib but the commotion around them will remain in tiny groups destined to suffer bit by bit. There is only word “Sikh” Guru uses for his followers in Sree Guru Granth Sahib Ji, unfortunately you cannot count on fingers how many cult like groups Sikhs have formed. Again it is an approach that is inclined towards other sources than Gurbani and in full swing; Gurbani is used to propagate their own agenda. The worst day in my life was when some one so called Sikh tried to convert the founder of Sikhism in a sectarian group. I remained disturbed for days about it.
Now the fact of the matter is this, I will list FACTS of current state from first glance (imagine what problems we will see if we dig deeper).
1. We have a caste system - there is no shying away from that. We need full eradication of this (by education of Sikhi)
I agree, it’s the lure that has been created in the minds of the Sikh community over centuries to boost conceit and it has been enjoyed by openly defying Guru Sahiban just to boast about their so called caste( Guru ji called it useless) now they are getting assumed support for it by quoting Dasamgranth.( It is like” who care about Sree guru Granth Sahib when it is supported in Dasamgranth, I call it self- dooming ideology )

2. We have a corrupt Sikh political system: Akali Dal, controlled by BADAL. Today Sikhs are voting our 'enemies' into power - we have already killed off a political system. Sikhi and politics have been mixed WHEN WE WERE FORBIDDEN (miri and piri).
Some tried the same thing during Guru ji times too but truth was kept intact by Guru Sahiban, now people should turn to themselves. If they really follow Gurbani instead of “Sikhi Show off” every thing is possible. Remember they boast” Raaj Krega Khalsa” but never realize if “khalsa” lacks virtuous living how it will remain Khalsa and how it can ever dream to rule. Pure hearts are more influential than the corrupt ones. Corrupt ones have now all disguises.
Unfortunately we have no leader but opportunists.

As a result, we have politicians who pay money for Sikh events FOR VOTES, we have politicians pay money into THEIR OWN POCKETS, when farmers Hang themselves over having no money to pay for debts.
They are the main cause of all mess.

3. We Sikhs as a whole (myself included) have VERY little education about REAL Sikhi. We Sikhs have made a system ourselves which is distant from the vision Guru Nanak had.
Instead of following others to speak on terrorist attack, we should prepare ourselves to follow Sikhi in real sense. Following Sikhi can alone bring hard times but so be it, it is worth by teaching our selves about Guru Message. I posted an add for three months to open up a school totally devoted to Gurbani Teachings with all important subjects needed to be mastered in them(children) for the future comparative world, in three months I received one call. Broachers of that ad were mailed to almost all Gurdawaras in America, Canada and U.K , no response what so ever. This much we love money and this much we care about the future of Sikh children. I gave up as per His HUKAM.

I honestly feel we Sikhs have a lot more to learn; I AM NOT SAYING ALL HOPE IS LOST. I see the "new" Sikhs in America, South America, etc who are embracing Sikhi and existing Sikhs teaching themselves through the use of the internet to Strenghten their spirit.
Understanding is more important than embracing Sikhi; Sikhs need quality not numbers to bring change as there are many walking in Sikh costumes.

We need REFORM. Simple. I listed 3 confusing things above. The last point is my main point. The first two are examples of how the list could just go on and on.

Let me have your view on this, and please if you are reading "SAY SOMETHING". We all need to discuss such matters to LEARN of each other - that is the basic step of being a Sikh (be a learner - not closed minded).

Sorry for sounding confusing at times. wrote this in a rush. Gurdip Chana.
I have tried to respond as I understood your post. I am glad you will not accuse any community as a whole as per our Guru message. People of all faiths are as the Lord wants them, there are good ones in all faiths, we should totally refrain from slandering others. Unity we need but understanding of Sikhi is more important than unity at this time. If we do not have a goal, the struggle to win will remain far away. So pray for all. If you are serious, your efforts about it will be appreciated.
Note: For 12 days I may not be able to participate regularly due to my being away from home. Thanks.

Will a Khalistan government be any less corrupt?

What will Khalistan be? A Theorocracy will an Aytollah type figure as a head?

We missed our chance in 1947, there will never be a Khalistan, and I honestly don't think we are capable of running a Khalistan, given the bunch of monkey's we have had running and in opposition in the Punajb Government! :confused:

Sat sri akal,

I am glad to see my other brothers and sisters taking the same approach to such matters.

I highlighted my concerns for a divided nation, and I still stand strongly behind such a suggestion. We need unity and consolidation of our resources, knowledge, power etc TO BECOME A UNITED POWERFUL PANTH.

I am not saying we Sikhs should make Sikhi into some form of institution - but collaboration and unity will help us in all situations - especially regarding Religious and Socio-political matters.

A Khalistan is NOT the answer. As Randir kindly points out - the Punjabi Sikhs are in no way shape or form ready to make a Khalistan. They themselves don’t want it, the Sikhs in the Diaspora make all such claims. We live in relative peace in the west (outside India), and it saddens me that all our attentions in the west are to try and push for a Khalistan.

NONE OF OUR GURU'S EVER CREATED A SEPARATE LAND...we always lived amongst others AS THAT IS THE FUNDAMENTAL principle of sikhi. Remember, I will always go back to my Guru's point - "there is no Hindu, or no Muslim".

Just take a look at any country where its primary demography is composed of Muslims or Christians or Jews. Middle-eastern countries are split and have gone to war in the past. Christian "western" countries have butchered each other in the battlefields of WW1 and WW2. Jews in an attempt to establish Israel spill the blood of their own and that of Palestinians to get their way.

I really hope Sikhs DONT go down the same route - we tried in 1984 - we got slaughtered. None of those Sikhs in Harmandir Sahib deserved death (and that is including Bhindrawale and his followers) - therefore I ask - can a Khalistan be established with peace? No, is a Khalistan solution to all our problems? No.

I will conclude this on one simple point: Sikhs are told to first be Saints and then IF NECESSARY soldiers (i.e. Khalsa). We all jump the gun and run to take Amrit without having a clue about the REAL message of Guru Ji and his way of life. Our Guru's didn't envisage a world divided and at war...

Our Guru's instead envisaged a world, as per last line of Ardas, where we all submit ourselves to the Will of God (i.e. pray, meditate, etc) and improve our own mental state of minds so that ONE DAY, Peace on Earth will follow.

Peace of the Mind = Peace of World - why? because nobody will therefore have the low-level Manmukh state of mind which is entwined in Maya. Guru Ji helps us escape Maya, escape the 'illusionary veil' of the world and SEE THE TRUTH (i.e. God, His real existence, His real creation, His real way of life = which is prescribed in Guru Granth Sahib [I cannot list it all here - will take forever! lol]).

Anyway, let me know your thoughts on that Brothers and Sisters.

Gurdip Chana.

DID U KNOW ? THERE IS A PUNJAB IN PAKISTAN ...DID THESE SO CALLED KHALI-STANIS (EMPTY PLACE!!!) EVER DREAM TO EVEN HAVE THE GUTS TO ASK IT FROM PAKISTAN...

THEY LAY BEFORE THEM..LIKE WAGGING TAILS ...GO AND GET THAT PUNJAB ..AND THEN TALK...U CAN ATTEMPT TO TALK HERE ..BECAUSE YOUR OWN BROTHERS HAVE TOLERATED YOU ...IN FRONT OF MULLAS U ACT LIKE THEIR SERVANTS ..

IF THERE IS STILL SENSE LEFT IN THAT KHALI-STAN OF YOURS READ THIS :

WE WERE ISI PUPPETS: ZAFFARWAL


by Prabhjot Singh and Varinder Walia

Tribune, April 21

Baba Bakala, April 20

Long isolation, survival on a pittance and donations and the
realisation that violence was no solution to any problem were the
factors that forced Wassan Singh Zaffarwal, a once ruthless leader
of the Khalistan Commando Force (Zaffarwal), to retract his stand
on “Khalistan” and seek “a return to the mainstream”.

“I have always felt sorry for those innocent victims who fell to the
bullets of militants during turbulence in Punjab. I wish I could go to
the families of the victims of that ‘madness’ and explain to them
how people like me were used as mere ‘puppets’ by the
Pakistan-based ISI”, Wassan Singh Zaffarwal, one of the most
wanted militants in the late 80s and early 90s, said here today.



“I feel that the age between 25 years and 40 years is the time when
one has to channelise one’s energies in a positive way. It was this
period of my life with which I wreaked havoc. I strayed on to a path
of destruction and got into wrong hands. Once I was there I could
not come out. It was like slush in which I had sunk myself deeper
and deeper to reach a stage of no return”, he said when The Tribune
team caught with him while he was being brought here from the
place of his detention for extension of police remand.

Mr S.S. Dhaliwal, Additional Civil Judge, extended his remand until
April 23. Earlier, he was medically examined at the Civil Hospital
here.



“Once I openly opposed the plans given to us for execution in
Punjab. The result was that I was sent to solitary confinement for
six months. Otherwise we always had a ‘munshi’ supervising our
activities in the ‘kothis’ we stayed in Pakistan”, he said disclosing
that he went to Pakistan thrice with the last visit in 1987 extending
till July, 1996, when he finally left that country for “good” for
greener pastures in Switzerland.



But once there he was reduced to being a parasite living on the
doles of the Swiss Government and donations from the UK-based
Council of Khalistan”.


After his visit to Pakistan in 1984, which lasted a month, he
returned and announced “Khalistan” from Akal Takht. He returned to
Pakistan in 1986 for a fortnight and then went back in 1987.

It was between 1984 and 1991 that Zaffarwal had 15 cases of
murder, attempt to murder, secession, waging a war against the
nation and other criminal acts registered against him.



Of the eight cases in which he was registered a proclaimed offender,
the first one attempt to murder was registered against him at
Dasuya when militants opened fire at a medical hall, seriously
injuring the two brothers running the shop.


Another case of murder and attempt to murder was registered
against him on January 25 the following year when a group of
militants opened indiscriminate fire at Dasuya, killing two persons
besides injuring eight.


Yet another case of indiscriminate firing three persons lost their
lives at Dhariwal on May 6, 1985. He was one of five suspects
named in the case. In the same year in the month of November,
Zaffarwal and T{censored}m Singh Kohar were named in an FIR after the
Sarpanch of Udoke Kalan was shot and one of his accomplice injured
in a shootout.


In February, 1986, Zaffarwal was named in another case of murder
and attempt to murder when four persons were killed in
indiscriminate firing. The last case of murder and attempt to murder
was registered against him in 1991 when Balwinder Singh was
dragged out of his house and shot in the jurisdiction of the Amritsar
Sadar police station.



Zaffarwal denies his presence or involvement in any of these cases.
Besides, there are two cases of sedition registered against him in
Amritsar in 1986 and 1989.


“We were under our Pakistan bosses. They would tell us to write
letters and issue directions to our men in the field. These were sent
through special couriers. Our operations were mainly funded through
money coming from our sources in Europe and North America. The
money was transferred in the name of certain shopkeepers of Lahore
or Sialkot and we would draw cash from them. The ISI provided us
well-furnished kothis. Some of us were provided cars like Toyota
Corolla but we had to seek permission for every outing.


“I did attend some of the training camps, including those in
handling explosives and firearms. I can fire a rocket and use an
AK-47. We had the maximum recruitment in 1988-89. I may have
provided firearms to 300-odd members of my organisation, besides
getting 65 to 70 of them trained in the use of firearms.


“We used to get copies of Indian newspapers, including Punjabi
Tribune, at our ‘kothis’. I used to feel bad for the killing of innocent
persons. Dr Jagjit Singh Chauhan also always opposed killings of
innocents. Others who opposed these were Tejinder Singh, I.S. Bal
and D.S. Sandhu.


“Since we were under their control, whenever we opposed such a
move we were threatened that we would be dropped at the border.
Under threat we kept quiet,” he said, maintaining that such actions
also led to rumblings within militant organisations.



“In one case, two youngsters — Pal Singh and “Nihang” were shot in
their sleep by the leader of their group, a veterinary doctor (P.S.
Sekhon). His accomplices left him and joined the Paramjit Singh
Panjwar’s group there. This led to another clash between Sekhon’s
group and Panjwar’s group. Paramjit Singh Panjwar, whose family
has now got political asylum in Germany, was the most ruthless.”


“While I was in Pakistan, others who were living in kothis like me
included Paramjit Singh Panjwar, Wadhawa Singh Babbar, Mahil
Singh Babbar, Gajinder Singh, Lakhbir Singh Rode, P.S. Sekhon and
Balbir Singh Sandhu. Mahil Singh has his family in Canada now while
Wadhawa Singh Babbar lives with his wife, son and a daughter in
Pakistan. His second daughter has been married to someone in
Germany,” Zaffarwal disclosed.


Talking about his initiation into militancy, he said he made friends
with T{censored}m Singh Kohar without realising that he was a militant.

“One of his friends, Madan Lal Maddi, was arrested by the police. He
named me. For fear of police arrest and harassment, I left my home
and never returned. My brother was taken into custody. My mother
was detained. My father remained with the police for eight years.


Once I left home, I got into the hands of the ISI. Initially, I felt
uncomfortable but once I got into the Damdami Taksal fold, I
started feeling safe.



“Under the circumstances, I had no choice but to oblige my masters.
I could not return home for fear of the Army and the police. We
never claimed responsibility. But mostly these were our men in the
field who made these claims. But I can tell you I was never involved
any killing,” he said.


I want to be back with my people, with my family, in my own
country. I had been desperate to return home. I am ready to face
the consequences for my actions
. To be honest, I wanted to be back
last year. In February, I went to Rome and used photocopies of the
passport of another Indian, Charanjit Singh, to obtain an Emergency
Travel Certificate from the Indian Embassy in Rome. I put my
picture and changed the date of birth from 1976 to 1956.
