[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 113599, member: 189"] [b]Re: Why Should Not a Sikh Who Attacks Srii Guru Granth Sahib Be Called "Atheist"[/b] Looks like the "war" that was fought on the ploughing fields of Punjab in the 1990's, counter-insurgency, planted information, fake proofs, fake letterheads claiming responsibility and all..to create and sustain "doubts" and kill several birds with the same stone repeatedly..are now being used on the Media Front. This means that the "Media Effect" is having an effect...and calls for such extraordinary measures..use all an measures to cause rifts and bring the major players down...by hook or crook. Early on...in the 1950's writers like Gurbaksh Singh Preetlari was called "atheists" becasue he refused to write that he beleived Guru Gobind Singh Ji to be "avtaar" but simply as a MAN of Extraordinary assets..great Writer, great poet, great General, Great Strategist, Great Sacrificer of family etc etc BUT not that what most Sikhs firmly beleived in. Preetlari was thus BANNED from coming into Mlaya by the British Govt based on complaints from local Sikhs who felt hurt by such sentiments. Soon after such people gained acendancy in ALL Universities, Colleges, and Govt positions..in fact it was said that NO ONE..got any PHd..or appointment to any post except by the personal recommendation of Late Prof Sant Singh Sekhon..the BIG BOSS..the man who spread over the Academic scene in Punjab for decades. Of late such people as MC Leod, Pashaura singh oberoi etc have been labelled simialrly..MC Leod saw Guru nanak ji as a mere MAN and wrote history of sikhs with that point of view..BUT to most Sikhs Guru nanak ji si NIRANKAAR personified...so such a view is "atheistic". Preetlari was ably replied to by writers like Hira Singh dard of Phulwari and MC Leod was ably replied too by many writers like the late Dr Baldev Singh Ji. These latest attacks should be replied to ably..without resorting to "book burning"..(kala afghana)..Book banning (kala afghana)..Issue of Excommunication, "office burning"..hiding behind Hukmnamahs by a supposedly Secular Govt, or personal attacks on the people involved. Previoulsy the Rozana Spokesman was "Banned for Sikhs"...it was denied Govt ads by the suppsoedly Secular Govt of badal, its offices were attacked and looted...NONE of its EDITORIALS were ever sent in as "attachments". I believe the Rozana Spokesman has grown TOO BIG for its BOOTS..and the relevant orders are out to bring it down in whatever way possible..hence its opposing papers are attached. These papers didnt say a single word of protest all this while when the offices were looted/burnt down, its circulation was attempted to be cut down via religious edicts etc.FREEDOM of the PRESS seemed a dirty word then.. I would be very happy to read some "attachment" from this Sach dee patari on those days..whether it supported Freedom of the Press....:up: [/QUOTE]
