[QUOTE="max314, post: 137860, member: 2817"] My understanding is Guru Gobind Singh Ji never gave the command to seek "revenge" for his family. Nor does it make any sense that he would. My understanding is that, after Guru-ji's passing, Banda Singh Bahadur killed the executioners of the two youngest Sahibjade, [U]taking revenge of his own accord[/U]. But Bahadur failed his mission -- Wazir Khan eventually captured Bahadur and mutilated his children in front of him. I'm sure Guru Gobind Singh Ji told Banda Singh Bahadur to wage war against Wazir Khan. But not as a personal revenge mission. The Guru would never be so selfish. Why hasn't Manmohan Singh put this at the top of his political agenda? Maybe it's because he is concentrating on building a glorious future instead of dwelling on the gory past. Also, Manmohan Singh does not operate in a vacuum. To mobilise such a 'justice movement' would depend on the people below Manmohan Singh. And if Manmohan Singh ever used his position to launch a Sikh-centric crusade from his seat as PM, there would be severe repercussions for the entire Sikh community. No longer would we be perceived as the honourable face of all India. Instead, we would be marginalised once again. Untrusted. As we were in the days of Bhindranwala. The last 20+ years of progress in restoring the image of Sikhs would be under threat. Every action has a reaction. And anger blinds us from seeing the obvious. You're talking about the man who single-handedly saved India from bankruptcy. And when the Americans offered him a high paying job in the United States, he told them to shove it. He was an Indian and he was going to devote his service to India. That's his mission. Manmohan Singh may not be one of those Sikhs who talks as loud as he belches, but that doesn't mean he's weak. He has more resolve and more patience than you can possibly imagine. This isn't the kind of man who bows his head and says, "Yes ma'am." He's the kind of man who works hard while others talk hard, and never asks for any recognition. Sonia Ghandi may be the voice and the muscle. But Manmohan Singh is the brain. Corruption is endemic in Indian politics. It is a filthy pool. Impossible for one man to clean. But Manmohan Singh himself remains the lotus flower floating above the filth, wearing his turban for all to see, protecting the image of Sikhs as being the honour of India. [/QUOTE]
