He said that Bhai Pamma had been living in England for the last 20 years and on the back of which Interpol is demanding his extradition to India. He added that accusations against Bhai Pamma have been already probed by British authorities and he was granted asylum status after finding him innocent.

Bhai Gurmail Singh Kandola of Sikh Council UK apprised Sikh devotees with the ongoing ongoing efforts of his organization to save Bhai Pamma from being extradited to India.

Bhai Davinderjit Singh of Sikh Federation announced that Parliament members of the UK were being contacted to pressurize Portugal government not to extradite Bhai Pamma to India.

  1. M Singh – Chardi kala always !!!

    One question Surjeet – what did you do since 1984 ? cannot see your name anywhere ! stop commenting on sikhs who gave up everything! Surjeet its even too much hard work for you to read what Khalsa is writing!
    RSS agents – you will go the same way as the Moghuls and the British Empire its just a matter of time!! Stop living in cuckoo land!

    • Why do you keep persisting on blaming foreign governments and even dead empires for the crimes committed by and in the name of the Indian State? What has the dead Roman and British Empires got to do with the genocidal pogroms against the Sikhs instigated, carried out, sponsored, approved, sanctioned, covered up and to this day defended by the Indian State (its politicians from all parties, its police and judiciary are all guilty of failing their sacred duty as much as the mobs encouraged, armed and given free reign to murder Sikhs with impugnity). As for the American Empire we wouldn’t even know some of the facts of these atrocities if we didn’t have the Snowden leaks about what American intelligence was picking up from its embassy in Delhi in 1984 about how much of the violence was orchestrated by Rajiv Ghandi’s party. And again for the British Empire you wish to pass the buck onto – it is thanks to their 30 year release policy of cabinet papers that we know that Indira Gandhi traitorously asked a foreign and former imperial power for military assistance in attacking Darbar Sahib more than six months before it happened (contradicting Indian army who said they had to do Operation Bluestar because time was so pressing). Where is the Indian Empire’s policy towards releasing governmental papers? They burn them and lose them and march into the museum and library of Darbar Sahib to loot its relics to try and rewrite Sikh history

  2. In medical Jargon a CPR (Cardio pulmonary resucitstion) is done when ever an individual has a Cardiac arrest.

    Similarly we Sikhs as a group need a “community “CPR”” to come out of 1984 shock

    1) C—- Chadi Kala
    2) P —- Phoenix like trait
    3) R—– Resurrection

    • In medical jargon you are an idiot who believes in autocracy and suppression of religious minorities whilst hiding behind a false name posing as one of the hero community that liberated and protected your country when your forefathers were too spineless to do it for themselves. Medically speaking there is a cure for your malady – stay well away from other carriers of this contagion of bigotry and hatred then immerse yourself in reading history books (obviously none that are endorsed by the RSS unless you want to read fantasy fiction) and pray to your Gods and Goddessess that they reveal to you that they don’t exist and that you have wasted your life which was actually all about practising how to love God by loving people (yes, that includes the Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and all non-Hinduvta peoples – humanity in short). By the way it is ‘Chardi Kala’ – a concept in Sikhism that refers to a mental state of optimism and joy. Sikhs are ideally expected to be in this positive state of mind – not ‘Chadi Kala’ which I assume is the RSS concept of something to do with underpants and RSS goons are ideally expected to keep clean in place of mind.

    • The only people that are hurting Punjab and the bonds between Punjabi SIkhs and Hindus are RSS Hindus like you ‘Harinder’. The more you reveal about your insidious agenda to try and smother Sikhism and the civil liberties / human rights of other minorities the more you make the case for Sikhs for self determination as they cannot live as slaves – it is just not in our nature or history to accept tyranny. Remember Indian Punjab’s Hindus have already set the precedent in 1966 for secession from Punjab – they were allowed to vote to abandon both mother tongue of Punjabi and its soil for Hindi and the artificial creation of Haryana state. Keep oppressing the Sikhs and you make the case for Khalistan as how will you deny Sikhs the referendum you afforded the PUnjabi Hindus and East Pakistanis to secede from autocratic rule by those they came to perceive as being ‘the other’?

  3. In 1984 when rebellion started against Punjab and Indian state by the then Sikh rebels.
    As per SOP of any state it acted to suppress it by its security apparatus.

    1) The Chinese govt did it in Tianmen square
    2) The Pakistan govt does it against militants
    3 Iraqi govt does it against iSIS.

    All states will act similarly when faced with a Rebellion.
    If you were the CM or PM then you would also have responded similarly.

    • You both reveal and condemn yourself with your own words by comparing Sikhs with ISIS and endorsing the totalitarian action of the Chinese Government (a despotic regime that my uncles lost life and limb fighting against in the India China war!). The Tiananmen Square Massacre was student-led popular demonstration in Beijing which received broad support from city residents, exposing deep splits within China’s political leadership. The protests were forcibly suppressed by hardline leaders who ordered the military to enforce martial law in the country’s capital. The crackdown that initiated on June 3–4 became known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre as troops with assault rifles and tanks inflicted casualties on unarmed civilians trying to block the military’s advance towards Tiananmen Square. The number of civilian deaths has been estimated at anywhere between hundreds and thousands. The Chinese government condemned the protests as a counter-revolutionary riot, and has largely prohibited discussion and remembrance of the events ever since. Sound familiar? I would never as CM or PM order the murder of my fellow citizens in for purely political gain and to maintain power. That is the difference between you RSS dogs and the Khalsa lions – WE ARE SPARTACUS!

  4. The issue here is should some one even if he is a Sikh has broken a law.
    Then should he be put in a court of justice.
    My answer is

    YES

    • No, the issue is if the law is unjust then it is a Sikh’s religious duty to break it. And you cannot put Sikhs into a court of law which has no interest in delivering justice. Those fundamental principles were established at the Nuremburg trials which condemned not just Nazis but ordinary German citizens and judiciary officials (judges, police officers et al) who tried to argue that they were merely carrying out orders and conventions established by the state in its laws (such as the anti-Jewish laws of discrimination enshrined perfectly legally (if immorally) into German law during the 1930s). If you stick with your line then SIkhs should have been held accountable to Mughal laws and British laws as they were the legitimate legal power in the Punjab (and most of India) and were set up to repress any revolt against their rule – both had courts and laws which condemned Sikhs (and non SIkhs for that matter) to torture, imprisonment and death penalties. It’s really deeply depressing to me that you still do not accept this very basic Sikh principle of not blindly put up with despotic rule but vigorously opposing it – where would your Kashmiri Pandits be if Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji had not gone to Delhi to defend their religious rights and sacrificed his head to Moghul law? Where would India be if Bhagat Singh and Udham had not broken British law and been condemned to hang in British courts? Gurmeet Pinky has already whistle blown how depraved the Punjab police has been in extra judicial killings against Sikhs for just being Sikhs (it was enough that young Punjabi men who kept their beards and dastaars to be automatically labelled as militants and extremists and then summarily kidnapped, tortured and murdered by men in uniform). The law permitted these atrocities in the name of security and has actually created more martyrs and grievances. As for the kangaroo Indian courts well Bapu Surat SIngh has highlighted their injustices in passing sentences against Sikhs and then allowing them to languish in prisons years after their sentences have expired. I know you are just posing as a Sikh but even as a Hindu you are still a human being and have the moral responsibility to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up against injustice. Even though you refuse to believe in Waheguru you are still his child and will have to answer to Him about why you were content to turn a blind eye and deaf ear to the abuses being carried on against Sikhs till this day. If I cannot appeal to your common humanity then I lastly appeal to your sense of patriotism, warped as it is – these Sikhs upon whom indignities and atrocities are being visited by the Indian Sarkar are still your fellow Indian citizens until you make them not.

  5. I do not know who gives you the authority to label some one as a treacherous /Coward SIKHS .
    You are not some perfect kind of guy to start passing judgments on others.
    Remember we are not M Singh and we have our own mind to think .

      • You are no one to decide Mr M Singh who is a Sikh and who is not. Sikh in recent times come in all shades.
        The sooner you realize the better it is.
        From
        1) PM Mammohan Singh
        2) Harjit Singh Sajjan
        3) Suneet and Raja Tuli
        4) Abhinav Bindra
        5) Sunny Leone ( Karenjit Kaur Vohra)
        6) Narinder Singh Kapany
        7) Jarnail SIngh Bhinderwala
        8 ) Mr PS Badal
        9) Daler Mehindi ,Honey Singh
        10) Harbhajan Singh the cricketer

        etc etc

      • No, it is not for me to decide nor you to decide who is a Sikh as Guru Gobind Singh Ji specifically created the baptism ceremony to define a Sikh. If you are not baptised in the religious faith (whether it be Christian, Jewish or Sikh) how can you possibly call yourself a Sikh when you are directly ignoring the founder of the faith’s instruction to take pahul (which let me remind you he took himself from the hands of the first five baptised Sikhs the Panj Pyare). A Sikh has to look like one AND act like one so that pretty much disposes of your list of model Sikhs – Badal, really with all his obvious corruption? Manmohan was a puppet for his sponsor Sonia and could not bring himself to give justice to the Sikhs of 1984 as that would have opened up a can of worms for the Gandhi family. Your mischief making is even clearer in your desire to promote a porn star Sunny Leone as a Sikh! Next you will putting forward the mass murderers of Sikh youth like Brar and KPS Gill as poster boys for Sikhi. The sooner you realise with all your RSS HInduvta gangsters that we will not allow you to pervert Sikhism into some meaningless sect that allows you to do anything you want under some umbrella of pseudo spirituality (with gods and goddesses for any occasion or depravity you wish to indulge in with the only inconvenience being the ringing of some bell as you supplicate before a stone idol for the sake of cultural appearances) the better it is. The message of Sikhism does NOT change over time otherwise it would be meaningless – the truth remains immutable: ‘Ik Onkar’.

      • Spiritual world is different from Real world.
        Many people like Sunny Leone,,Tuli,,harjeet singh Sajjan, kapny don’t even live in India to have Hinduvta influence.
        So there exists a world beyond RSS and Hinduvta.
        So please don’t get obsessed by them.

      • Also as you are incapable of knowing what a Sikh is I direct you to Bapu Surat Singh – use him as a modern day yardstick to measure against when you hold up Badal, Brar, Gill and Makkar as model Sikhs.

      • ‘Spiritual world is different from real world’ – there you have the difference in a nutshell between how a Sikh and RSS Hindus perceive reality. For a Sikh Waheguru permeates every second of life and cannot be divorced from his actions which gives him an innate moral compass. For a Hindu religiosity is a bit of puja you do with an incense stick in the morning perhaps and at times of festivals (durga worship, diwali and the hundreds of other festivals they close the shops for). A Sikh would subscribe to Hemmingway’s ‘There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self’ but you Harinder and your RSS subscribe instead to Grouch Marx (fitting as Hinduvta concept is rather comic) ‘These are my principles, and if you don’t like them don’t worry I’ll get some more’.

    • And you do not want people to think – that is the whole objective behind Hinduvta-ism, keep the masses down and quiet. I have written these two comments broken up not just for you but for ‘Surjeet’ who finds long sentences difficult to read…

  6. The Sikh kingdom was destroyed by Anglo- Sikh wars.
    The Empire of today can do it again as you have seen fate of Iraq and. Syria.
    So don’t live in delusion of grandeur.
    In any case the Earthian Punjab is going to burn up like rest of earth in 4 billion years
    So only SPACE FARING. people will survive.
    One thing for sure we will not allow hot heads like some of you here to board the SPACE STATION PUNJAB

    • The Khalsa Raj of Punjab was destroyed by the treachery of the Hindu Dogra brothers Gholab Singh and Dhian Singh who accepted the advances of the East India Company to undermine the kingdom with the kind of insidious divisions you propose now. Dhian Singh was directly involved in the murder (bludgeoning to death whilst confined in the Lahore Fort with no access to his relatives) of Ranjit’s grandson Nau Nihal Singh (who was effectively running the Sikh Empire in his father’s name Maharajah Kharak Singh who himself is thought to have been poisoned). Dhian Singh was executed for his treachery but his brother Gholab Singh was heavily rewarded by the Britishers by being given the Rajaship of Kashmir (which was part of Sikh Empire) plus money form the looted Sikh treasury. It is a consequence of that treachery that Kashmir (a largely Muslim populated state) ended up with a HIndu Maharajah which has led to present difficulties in Kashmir now. The first and second anglo sikh wars and subsequent annexation happened when Maharajah Ranjit Singh’s third heir came to the throne – the child Maharajah Duleep Singh who was surrounded by traitors and turncoats.
      ANd you really should stop worrying about natural events to occur billions of years into the future. We the Sikhs will concentrate on our homeland in the Punjab on the Earth – the rest of you can emigrate.

    • Upon reflecting upon your spurious assertion that ‘the SIkh Kingdom was destroyed by Anglo-Sikh wars’ and the clear intimation that the British Empire (and by extension your paranoia over world order conspiracies) was responsible rather than treacherous natives it became clear to me that there are obvious parallels to present Punjab. Firstly let’s get a few facts straight. The Khalsa Raj of Maharaja Ranjit was actually a Sikh empire rather kingdom (and one of the Maharajah’s titles was indeed Emperor) as it encompassed territory from Jammu, Kashmir, greater Punjab and all the lands now forming Pakistan up to the Kybher. His was not the only Sikh soverignty at the time as there were several Sikh kingdoms south of the Sutlej (such as those ruled by the Sikh Maharajas of Nabha and Patiala). The British were afraid of attacking Maharajah Ranjit Singh both because of his military prowess (he had the foresight to recruit Napolean’s generals to instruct his army in european tactics of warfare for example) and the intense loyalty he received from all his subjects not least of which of course was the Khalsa army. Ranjit’s greatness and weakness lay in his pious Sikhi in that he saw all of his subjects whether they were Sikhs or not equally. As a consequence he had a Muslim treasurer (very loyal) and ministers like the Hindu Dogras brothers Dhian Singh (wazir) and Gholab SIngh – both of whom were loyal whilst he lived but conspired with the East India Company when it became apparent that Ranjit SIngh was dying (and again there is argument to be made that they may have been involved in hastening his demise with poisoning). The cis-Sutlej Sikh kingdoms through nothing but venality which is evident in prominent Sikhs today signed peace deals with the British to ensure they would not be taken over by Ranjit’s empire – the present Congress leader in Punjab, Amarinder Singh owes much of his position (and perhaps his mindset considering his loyalty to the Congress in Delhi – the same party which massacred Sikhs in that very city) to that fateful self interested decision made by his forefather to throw in his lot with the British rather than with his Sikh compatriots in Lahore. The murderous treachery of the Hindu Dogras Dhian and Gholab was very well documented but we also have the effects of their insidious drip drip poisoning of the state within by the likes of the SIkh turncoats they were able to hand over to the British – these included collaborators such as Generals Tej and Lal Singh who caused the loss of the first anglo sikh war by deliberately withholding both troops and ammunition to Sikhs at the battle with General Gough and supplying plans of attack to the British. We have similar treacherous turncoats today not just with the likes of Brar and KPS Gill but with Makkar and Badal too so empires whether they be british or indian can only succeed in their nefarious schemes if they have willing partners within the Sikh community ready to prostitute themselves. A SIkh has to look like one but also act like one and attempts are underway now to destroy both these characteristics of identity handed to us by Guru Gobind Singh Ji himself.

  7. I cudnt read such long replies by M Singh, started to sound bit rhetoric.
    Sikhs were once known for valor, now they just chicken out. Like they did after 1984. Instead of puttin a brave front to get justice, they just packed their bags and starting leaving country.
    Its lot easier to be a preacher when your faith and honesty isnt challenged. But if any of our GURUS had thought the way M Singh or the likes, then there would have been no sikhism to begin with.
    Those who are livin a lavish life in other countries and still think India is not a place for any sikh to be, i have only one question for them, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR YOUR BROTHERS IN INDIA? If you are so darn sure that India is not the place for sikhs, then why there r still sikhs in India? moreover why havnt other sikhs livin elsewhere invited atleast one sikh to be with them?
    So pls stop hiding behind these selfish politically motivated gains and stop pretendin that you care for any sikh,coz you dont.
    Next time keep it shorter.

    • ‘Surjeet’ / ‘Harinder’ / whatever alias you wish to use to pretend you are a Sikh, your comments expose you for the stooge you are. Couldn’t be bothered to read my comments because you were too stupid or lazy – no, you say that because you have read them and just like your compatriot / alter ego you just cannot refute the inconvenient truths (for you and your RSS Hinudvta mafia) of the historical facts. I am an Indian Sikh unlike you you hyprocrite as your language exposes that your English is foreign accented – you use words like ‘valor’ (US spelling not the spelling used in India and UK from where it originated), ‘puttin’, ‘livin’, ‘darn sure’, ‘coz’ etc. And what have the Sikhs living abroad done for their kinsmen? It is ‘not enough’ as you pretend but rather they have done far too much for your liking in keeping the spirit of Sikhism alive in their brothers who have been downtrodden by the Sarkar intent upon stamping Sikhi out here in the Sikh homeland. Do you not know how many schools and orphanages are supported by financial donations from Sikhs living abroad? Do you not know how much money is pumped into Punjab economy by Sikh investment from abroad and by the fees they pay for visas and aircraft duties (so much so that central government has gone to every length to stop direct flights to Amritsar and forces NRI Sikhs to fly to Delhi (where they keep those landing fees form going direct into Punjab’s treasury) and make the arduous journey from there to Punjab). Do you not know what a difference is made by NRI Sikhs to keeping a spotlight on human rights abuses against Sikhs in India – they embarrass Modi when he goes to the white house and downing street and make it harder for his like to pursue religious intolerance in India not to mention the pressure they can put on Badal. And then your warped thinking, Sikhs are cowardly they are leaving the Punjab (is it any wonder when their religious rights and very lives are under threat – you can be shot dead here in Punjab by the police if you protest against the sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib) and yet you want them to leave by having NRI Sikhs take them in abroad?! You are the only one in hiding ‘Surjeet’ / ‘Harinder’ and reveal your own moral cowardice by using fake Sikh names – honestly that is the kind of propaganda policy that worked when Doorsharan was the only TV I could watch. You have to keep your rhetoric short because otherwise your lies would be exposed – I’ll keep my responses detailed so other readers (particularly the Sikhs you wish to insult and browbeat into silence) can see you for what you are. Tell your RSS / Shiv Sena / Hinduvta bosses they need to send someone with a lot more knowledge and articulation to post on this website as you are far too inadequate for the task.

    • ‘Sikhs were once known for valor, now they just chicken out’ – You never heard of Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa, 92 year-old Sikh on hunger strike today for the release of Sikh political prisoners who have served their sentences in jail? ‘Surjeet’ you can’t even spell ‘valour’ let alone comprehend what it is you duffer because you are not a Sikh but merely hiding behind a name pretending to be one. Cowardice is your people’s heritage so I pity you.

  8. Lawbreaking is necessary when you are faced with unjust laws – ask Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Nelson Mandela. The wholesale pogrom against Sikhs has nothing to do with Bhindranwale (pretending to be a Sikh on this website you should at least try and make the effort to spell his name correct just once) and again you are trying to draw some justified correlation between the deaths of dozens of Hindus (no women or children amongst them) against the organised slaughter of thousands of SIkhs by criminals who were never punished but instead rewarded by police, judiciary and politicians even to this day. Tell me how many non SIkhs (and lets be honest as a RSS memeber you wouldn’t care if these were Christian or Muslims) were killed in PUnjab by Bhindranwale were burned to death with tyres about their necks, how many orphans thrown into fires to burn alive, how many women gang raped, how many homes and businesses torched with people inside them, how many scalped and stabbed as they were dragged off trains – the answer is zero so stop trying to draw some kind of equivalence as the two crimes are not comparable in scale or in origin.
    As for your 3 choices for SIkhs victims of 1984 you make your Hinduvta bigotry evident in not once suggesting that the criminals responsible for committing these atrocities actually be imprisoned and hanged – at worst you are happy for Sikhs to continue the 31+years of court processes every year on 31 Oct (by the way the genocide of Sikhs in Delhi alone carried on for 4 days with police looking on and doing nothing except disarming Sikhs of their Kirpans and directing mobs to their homes and army not called in). Those who forget their past are doomed to repeat it. As for building multiple PUnjabs all over the universe interstellar space travel is not feasible because of the restrictions of the speed of light unless of course your RSS ‘geniuses’ have a cunning plan for that also. No, the Sikhs will concentrate on their Sikh homeland of Punjab just where it is, after they have shed more blood and tears to liberate and build it than anybody else.

    • Excellent reply Bhai Sahib, very detailed and impressive response.

      The site moderators should just ban “Harinder”, self-admitted RSS terrorist from commenting on this site because he’s really nothing but a waste of your time.

      • I am not really writing for ‘Harinder’ as he is an Agent Provocateur intent upon sowing dissent as is obvious with his comments and refusal to post a rational rejoinder to my answers to his ‘questions’. I am rather writing for the Sikhs who may be swayed by his specious arguments and pleas to forget Sikh values out of fear of retribution. Education easily defeats his fearmongering and historical facts are extremely difficult for the likes of the RSS and their stooges to deal with so it is just a matter of bringing them to the fore everytime even while they try to rewrite school textbooks. Eventually his paymasters will realise he is doing more harm than good for their cause posting on this website and I imagine they will gently retire ‘Harinder’ and put up some new alter ego to more subtly posit his pre-packaged arguments that Sikhs should give up their martial spirit – lions to become dogs grateful and humble at their master’s table. It is the same simpleton mindset the Moghuls and the Britishers had before the Hinduvta gangsters and the result will be the same no matter how many Sikhs are brutalised – they who do not learn the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them. ‘Harinder’s’ message (the way he has threatened me for example to effectively shut up lest his ‘heroes’ the likes of General Brar and KPS Gill be unleashed) is quite important for Sikhs to understand what is going on with the ongoing insidious attempt to infiltrate and undermine both Sikh doctrine (he is adamant that Sikhs should believe in ‘Lord Ram’, Bagavad Gita and Ramayana for example) and Sikh institutions (the corrupted SGPC and Akali Badal Dal are now so inept that they expose their own depravity with their response to Bapu Surat Singh and their pardoning of heretic Rahim). It is tremendously sad that the ego of Hindu idealogues feels so threatened by Sikh achievements that they are prepared to spurn the ultimate sacrifices Sikhs have made for their liberty down through the centuries and desire so much to suffocate Sikhi when it is the sword arm that has liberated the country and been the breadbasket to feed the country. But I suppose the very fact that Sikhism is the spiritual font that has freed its people from the slavery mindset is ultimately going to be a threat to those intent upon maintaining the iniquities of a caste system so that they may continue their lives of privilege at the expense of the poor and the uneducated masses who can be so more readily manipulated and controlled then to do their bidding.

      • Very well put M Singh Ji.

        The problem right now is we have no long term strategy as the SGPC (non-Sikh entity) and Badal Dal are hellbent on destroying Sikhism and Punjab, but it looks like their plans are backfiring as I know 2 Sikhs (former cleanshaven) that after the SGGSJ Beadbi incidents have taken Amrit (several others have decided to keep their Kesh and wear Turban) and understand what Sikhism is and why Guru Nanak Dev Ji to Guru Guru Gobind Singh Ji created it. The youths interest is slowly picking up and they’re going back to Sikhi.

        Sikhism is actually slowly increasing globally with many people watching Youtube videos on channels like Basics of Sikhi and learning of our hidden gem of a faith. Dozens of whites and others have been inspired by Basics of Sikhi and have taken Amrit as they are looking for greater meaning to their lives. Countless thousands of others understand Sikhism better and have a greater understanding of it.

        Hinduism, on the other hand, is actually in terminal decline as the only source of new Hindus is children of the existing population stock. Living in a Western country for 30+ years, I have NEVER even once in my life ever met someone who converted to Hinduism, which is hardly surprising as Hinduism has really nothing to offer except empty rituals.

        The Mughals tried to subvert and destroy Sikhism, but they failed. They thought as well back during the times of the Gurus, that the Sikhs will never be free and then Maharaja Ranjit Singh formed The Sikh Empire. The British also tried to destroy Sikhism, but they too failed. We missed a golden opportunity in 1947 due to incompetent leadership. If we had Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale at the table in 1947, we would already have Khalistan right now. The RSS is trying very hard right now to destroy Sikhism, but they too will fail.

        The pivot will occur when Hindustan becomes bankrupt due to too many internal inconsistencies and corruption (just as the Mughal Empire became bankrupt due to too many unnecessary wars and infighting, and the British left India in 1947 because it was no longer financially viable for them to stay and not for altruistic reasons as most Indians think).

        That will be our golden opportunity for a genuine leader (like Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale) to step up and form Khalistan together with 5 Panj Pyare. When a nation goes bankrupt, religion is what binds everyone together. Note this opportunity can also arise if there is a global financial meltdown and it cascades around the world and India declares solvency (it came very close in 1992; if it wasn’t for IMF stepping in, India would have already gone bankrupt and splintered into many small countries, including Khalistan).

        In the mean time:
        1. All young devout Sikh (especially Amritdhari) couples, PLEASE seriously have 3 to 4 (or more) children, however many you can reasonably afford to raise comfortably with Gursikhi values. Yes we value quality over quantity, but quantity is also important. For a population to survive, it must have a birth rate of 2.2 children per couple, otherwise it will dwindle and die off, so please seriously have more children. Populations are falling off in developed countries, we should be taking advantage of this situation. Right now too many couples are having just 1 or 2; we need to do MASSIVE PARCHAR to educate all couples to please at least have 3. For those who say it’s too expensive, the marginal cost of a third child is very small and costs can be severely reduced with intelligent pre-planning; most expenses such as clothing, toys, etc. can be shared across all kids. I can share other ideas as well.

        2. We need to increase our Parchar MASSIVELY. We have an excellent presence on the Internet; we just need to step up our ground game in India and start converting people into Sikhism across poor states that have gained nothing from India since “Independence”. Right now, the SGPC is just squandering money. Hopefully, with new regime in charge of Punjab in 2017, we can oust the current SGPC leadership and reverse our fortunes.

        3. Immerse children in Gurbani and Sikhism, teach them our history and our way of life. Marry your sons and daughters only into Gursikh families who share your same values and long-term vision.

        The keys are EDUCATION, INCREASE OUR NUMBERS and WAIT FOR THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY.

  9. Sikhs should not defend the Lawbreakers amongst them.
    1984 genocide was as wrong as was Killing by Bhinderwla boys.

    As for Justice for 84 Sikhs we have 3 choices

    1) Take them to all courts in world every year on 31 Oct.
    2) Document it in our history or make a memorial.
    3) Forgive and Remember them in our Prayers and move on into multiple new Punjab’s to be built all over the Universe.

  10. If he has broken the law then he must have the courage to face the courts in India .
    It is not good to run away from ones deeds how so ever painful they may be.

    • Sikhs do not get justice in Indian courts RSS Harinder – ask the victims of Delhi 1984 still waiting 31+years and make your statement ‘If he has broken the law then he must have the courage to face the courts in India . It is not good to run away from ones deeds how so ever painful they may be’ to the likes of Kamal Nath, Sajjan Kumar, Jagdish Tytler etc who have all been living unmolested in India all these years because as non-Sikhs they have never had to flee the country to save their lives. Gurmeet Pinky has also exposed the truth of the violent behaviour of the Punjab police who would take a Sikh into custody before they ever managed to appear in court. And as we are talking about those are supposed to uphold the law (let alone break it) can you tell me if those police officers who shot dead Sikhs for protesting against sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib have been arrested and put before the court to face charges of unlawful killing if not outright murder? Sumedh Saini for the allegations made against him for brutal torture and murder of Sikhs in his custody? Justice is supposed to be blind but that is simply not the case in India when it comes to Sikhs and until that position is remedied India should not be dishonouring the ideals upon which she was founded in 1947 by continuing witch hunts against the Sikhs (or any other minorities or dissident voices for that matter) which are clearly being prosecuted for the sake of instilling fear amongst the wider Sikh population.

    • Also you are always very keen for Sikhs to expend (some would say waste) their efforts in getting justice for the Sikh victims of 1984 genocide in foreign courts rather than Indian courts so why not try this man in European court for his alleged ‘crimes’? The reason why not is clearly because the burden of proof and evidence would not pass the test in Portugal where it would be plain for everyone to see. Better to get him dragged back to India into the Kafkaesque world of the Indian Courts where he can languish in jail for years before being tried in court, then get convicted on poor evidence and then keep him in jail even when his sentence has finished until someone like Bapu Surat Singh goes on hunger strike to raise awareness of the human rights abuse of political prisoners. Truth and reconciliation Harinder starts with a stop to persecution of Sikhs today so we can then look at the abuses and injustices carried out in the past against them – you don’t add insult to injury to heal old wounds.

      • Excellent reply M Singh.

        Why this website even allows “Harinder”, self-admitted RSS terrorist to post in the first place is baffling. He’s nothing but a paid RSS mouthpiece and should be banned from posting.
