VIDEO: “Sikh Think Tank” on Sikh Politics Past & Future

Dear G. Dhillon Sahib ji
The aim of the discussion was to precisely make the point you allude to. What we have seen developing over the past 70 years since the partition of India is an attempt to build a Indian National Identity. Though the likes of Gandhi and Nehru are held up as passionate advocates of a ‘secular’ India in opposition to a theocratic Pakistan, in reality they sowed the seeds for Hindutva. The baton was carried by Indira Gandhi and the Congress, but most shamefully the Left in their misplaced support for Gandhi because she was aligned with the Soviet Union. And so, as the writer Perry Anderson has highlighted in his book the Indian Ideology, it is both the Congress and the Marxist Leninist left became apologies for both the idea of Hindutva and state terrorism from the early 1980’s onwards, particularly against the religious minorities of India.
And so the solution to India’s problems, as was discussed is to reject the idea of Hindutva which if gone unchecked could lead to Fascism, but work towards a decentralised conception of Bharat where the national identity is build not on a single narrative but on a truly multicultural, multi lingual, multi religious dynamic federal union of states. This is a very moderate and democratic demand and the ones that oppose this are the real fundamentalists, terrorists and anti-national elements.
As our glorious history shows, we Sikhs have always fought to unify people, to promote mutual co-operation and human rights and human dignity. We cannot escape this burden of history because we are defined by these high ideals, To abandon these is to abandon our very essence, our ideology, creed, mission and ultimately our living Guru the Guru Granth Sahib ji, which should really be the true constitution of India and indeed the whole work. That is not because it belongs to the Sikhs, but because it is a gift from Guru Arjan Dev ji to humanity. It is a charter of International Human co-operation and rights that surpasses anything else, including the current UN charter. It was Guru Gobind SIngh Ji that placed the burden of ensuring the principles enshrined in the Guru Granth Sahib ji are never compromised onto the Khalsa and it is for this reason that the Khalsa has had to endure so much over the years. But we stand tall and firm and we will fight against the Hindutva tyranny through ideas, persuasion, love, humility and if necessary when ALL other means are exhausted, defensive force and action.

What are your views regarding RSS based BJP has resolved to finish the identity of Sikhs & turn it into a small sect of Hinduism by 2070.Othervise section 25 b already define Sikhs as Hindu.RSS workers are trained in punjab with weapon training in over 750 shakhas.These are kind of militants being trained like taliban in Pakistan .In near future these kind of terrorist will be used with the support of army & police to wipe out Sikhs all together on the pattern 1984 June by imposing curfew on Sikhs by deploying 3 to 5 divisions of army & commit genocide.RSS is behaving like nazis .
