[QUOTE="davinderdhanjal, post: 137710, member: 13600"] Dear Aman Singh, I read your note above and had a feeling of being 'lone'. The picture, as you present, is frightening. I have since, your writing, been looking into the evidence on the net and it is sole destroying. I sometimes wonder if Guru Tegbhadur was duped into giving his life for the majority 'non Sikh' community. I must admit that when ever you make a pact with a person it always fails. For example I sold some land in India and the buyer (a very nice and educated person) promised all I would expect from a fellow - but when it came to pay - he committed mistaminas unbelieveable! I have had similar experiances in work and in business. On the political level, people who fought for sikhs betrayed and joined Moslems and British. Moslems made certain agreement with sikh Gurus and betrayed them, British made agreements and betrayed us and so on. On international terms we see the similar betrayals - Americans sought out Bin Laden to help them against Islamic fundamentalists and when he understood the American thinking and their 'honouring' of the bargain he refused to help and thus we see today American response in Afganistan, Iraq and needling of Iran. Similarly in India the authorities put up Bhindrawala to help them and when he found out what they were cooking - he refused and the result is to elliminate the sikh community by publicly splitting them at their roots. Thanks, Indian state, may you be paid in kind. There are many other examples - I think these should suffice. Now what has caused all this to happen after Sikhs showed the nation the way with all the undercurrents trying to detrack them? "[I]The Sikhs have come to such a pass, not because they have lost their way in India, but because the Indian State has refused to render justice to the Sikhs in their own homeland[/I]." I think we have lost our way - we will not win by blaming a majority (however crooked and corroupt they may be). WE Sikhs did it last time but we had iron mind and steel arm of our Gurus and we were guided well. This time we are bickering between ourselves - we have plenty financial wealth to let our childern fall into sea of drugs, we find diversions to sideswerve the real issues and put down those who can contribute to unity. Why because we do not have a healthy common root to stand on. I mean TRUTH. It is a pity that a simple word is so difficult to understand. Let me give an example of my family - [I]my father was a very strong man with live and let live philosphy. Once he went into a jewler's shop with his business partner and there was a long que of people to be served. Four thieves came in with guns and ordered all to lie down - all did but my father refused and asked them why? They could not answer and became defensive and shot him - fortunately the shot hit is watch and another somewhere else - that annoyed my father and he picked up a fan on a stand that was around and swung it hitting one or two and the lot ran out leaving the shop! When he was asked why did he do that - he said "I did not trespass on their rights". He could do that because he would not abuse anybody elses' rights and at the same time will not give into those trying to abuse his[/I]. Let us put ourselves into that situation - I would have caved in like the others there - it takes a lot to be able to cultivate that strength both mental and physical. If all of us Sikhs strong at the 'roots' (teachings of our gurus) we could stand up to the trynee of any faith or state. I shall continue after other contributers also express their views whilst I further look into the story of S. Jaswant Singh Khalra who was, I think, trying to ask some questions off the state of India about the people they killed and what they did with their bodies? [/QUOTE]
