SRI FATEHGARH SAHIB, Punjab—Next Sarbat Khalsa may be called near the festival of Visakhi this year but its date and venue have not been finalized yet, revealed United Akali Dal (UAD) leader Gurdeep Singh Bathinda.  Bathinda said that the decision in this regard could only be taken by Akal Takht Jathedar Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara, acting Jathedar Bhai Dhian Singh Mand, Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib Jathedar Bhai Amrik Singh Ajnala and Bhai Baljit Singh Daduwal.

“The nation will follow what the directions of Jathedars will be regarding Sarbat Khalsa. However, the high profile event may be finalized within a month or two and all the panthik organizations who are dedicated for the Panth will be invited for it, as the event will not be from any single organization.”

Replying to a query about involvement of Dal Khalsa and Shiromani Akali Dal (Panch Pardhani), he said these organizations had sacrificed a lot for Panth and  their suggestions regarding the event will be considered. He said they would consult the matter with SAD (A) president Simranjit Singh Mann as well.

Commenting on the JNU protests, Gurdeep Singh Bathinda condemned the case of sedition registered by the Indian government against the student leaders and civil society activist in India.  He said that these students were facing the same fate as the organizers of Sarbat Khalsa.

Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara, Jathedar Sri Akal Takht Sahib, had earlier directed the Akal Takht Sahib Punj Piare to oversee the efforts for Sarbat Khalsa 2016.

  1. My request to all of you is to shun violence of any form be it Religion ,Nation ,Caste ,Race or Language .
    The only one who profits by Violence is the “Military Industrial Complex”.
    We can all happily Co -Exist on this planet in peace and harmony .

    • RSS Harinder says ‘Don’t break Laws of the Land. Don’t mess with the Guardians of Law the Police and army . Then all will be fine.’ So that means Bhagat Singh – foremost shaheed of Indian Independence struggle and Mahatma Gandhi – father of the India – were both wrong to ‘break the law of the land’ and oppose their oppressors the British who were the legitimate and recognised rulers of India. The Khalsa was also wrong in ‘breaking the law of the land’ and opposing their Moghul oppressors (again legitmately recognised by other countries as lawful rulers of India). Those Hindu Pandits and the Hindu girls taken form their families by force would all have been fine if everyone just knuckled under the law of the land. RSS Harinder and his Hinduvta mafia have forgotten their past as well as their humanity.

  2. My request to you is please :–

    Don’t bring Violence to the shore of Punjab ever again and we can all live happily their after.
    You want to rule Punjab it is fine by all of us .
    We will welcome you as our “KING OF PUNJAB” but not over our dead body.

    • It’s sounds to me you are not just pretending to be a Sikh but also pretending to be a Punjabi also as Punjab does not have a ‘shore’ as it is landlocked. Your insinuation that Sikhs have brought violence to the Punjab (and will bring ‘again’) once more totally ignores historical facts and exposes your bigoted hypocrisy as the only violence ongoing in the Punjab is from the State and its police against the Sikhs. The Punjab police totally illegally shot dead two protesters protesting against beadbi of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in Behbal Kalan near Kotkapura and have been protected by the Badal ‘regime’ (your word not mine but at least accurate of the way they think of themselves) ever since from any kind of prosecution. The same pattern extends to mass murderers of Sikhs like Gurmeet Pinky (who at least tried to confess to his crimes) and the likes of Sumedh Saini. The only dead bodies over which you are proudly prepared to stand have been and are of Sikhs and this is our homeland! We welcome you to live happily with us in Sikh homeland of Punjab (I can put it that way because Sikhs are majority in Punjab and Punjabi Hindus already had their referendum in 1966 when they elected to leave Punjab and Punjabi behind to birth Haryana and accept Hindi as their mother tongue) but NOT by allowing you to interfere in Sikh religious affairs and persecuting Sikhs who wish to practise their religion.

      • Police in every nation kills .
        In USA the Police kills on an average of 2 people ever day the Law breakers .
        Punjab police has after 1980 –1990 not achieved such statistics.
        All law breakers should be afraid of Police lest Punjab becomes a Police state again .
        Punjab Police is in tune with the aspiration of the People of Punjab and people of Punjab like there police on the whole.

      • ‘Police in every nation kills’. That makes it okay then does it? There are rapes, burglaries and crimes against children committed in other countries. Does that make those crimes excusable in India too then? When a policeman commits a crime whilst wearing a police uniform in the UK and USA he can expect to be suspended pending an independent inquiry looking into his actions and then having been found culpable will at the very least be dismissed if not put before a court to answer criminal charges. That does NOT happen in India. Policemen in Punjab can shoot dead protesters on the street and they will not be suspended let alone arraigned but protected by the Punjab Sarkar who will then not co-operate with any inquiry (Justice Katju’s words not mine about CM Badal). Even when a policeman (Gurmeet Pinky) in Punjab confesses that he has committed murder and extra judical crimes against civil rights and humanity he will NOT be punished. Gurmeet Pinky even after being charged was reinstated by the Punjab Police and when he wanted to confess in court to his crimes the Judge said he wouldn’t entertain his confession! RSS Harinder thinks that the Punjab Police have not kidnapped, tortured and extra judicially killed enough Sikhs in the 1980s to 1990s as their American counterparts have killed more – apart from the callous disregard for justice how exactly does he know how many thousands of Sikhs have been murdered when the PUnjab Police itself (confessions by Gurmeet Pinky) lost count of how many Sikhs they were ‘disappearing’ in raids and fake encounters and those asked to mass cremate the bodies in secret couldn’t give an accurate figure? One human being (yes even if they are a Sikh) who has been kidnapped, tortured and murdered without even the decency of a trial by jury and prima fascia evidence is one too many. And then he as the temerity to state the Punjab police have not been acting as a Police state and that the PUnjabi people approve of their illegal and immoral abuses and atrocities! You may be complicit with such crimes RSS Harinder (as you really do think Sikhs should be oppressed by brute force) but I as a Punjabi do NOT support a totalitarian police force which can kill with impugnity and is corrupt (everyone knows you can bribe a policeman in Punjab and indeed have to do so to stop them hassling you) and readily submissive to political patronage. I want to live in a proper democratic state where the police serve the public trust not abuse it knowing that they themselves are totally above the law. Inside every human being there are two wolves desperately fighting. One is darkness and despair, the other is light and hope. Which one will win, ‘Harinder’? The one you feed.

      • Don’t break Laws of the Land.
        Don’t mess with the Guardians of Law the Police and army .
        Then all will be fine.
        Live happily any where in Punjab ,India ,Globe , Earth ,Planets ,Galaxies or Universes.
        Remember if you pick up Guns again then remember there are people with bigger Guns than you .

  3. Don’t give me all this sermon.
    If. you will bring violence back to Punjab then the response will be equally resolute.
    Never Never forget what your 80-90 politics brought on

    1) OP Blue star.
    2) Genocide-3 of Sikh people

    It will happen again if you play that kind of politics again by killing innocent people of Punjab or India.
    The Indian and Punjab state will come down heavily on all of you.

    • You are the only one advocating violence. I have never mentioned it once in all my postings as I know reason and moral conscience even if brutally repressed will ultimately prevail as that is the lifeblood of a democracy. Again and again you offer veiled threats (and you are even doing it plurally against all Sikhs ‘The Indian and Punjab state will come down heavily on ‘all’ of you’ is what you have written) when you cannot debate the issue simply because historical and moral truth do not support your position. As sermons cannot penetrate your heart I will leave your hypocritical mind rattling with the words of Mahatma Gandhi ‘Whenever I despair, I remember that the way of truth and love has always won. There may be tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they may seem invincible, but in the end, they always fail. Think of it: always.’ I truly pity you RSS Harinder as you are on the wrong side of history and humanity.

  4. Any rebellion by any one. In Indian or Punjab state will be put down with a heavy hand.
    Have you seen in Haryana ,, Kashmir ,Egypt, Pakistan how security forces deal with all rebels against the State.
    If you produce People like Sant Jarnail Singh Bhinderawale then rest be assured you will be dealt as in 1980-1990 by the Indian and Punjab State.
    Let. me tell youi all is fair in love and war.
    Empires don’t tolerate rebellion in the Realm of which India is a part.

    • EVERY single empire in the history of the human race has thought it was invincible and EVERY single empire WITHOUT exception has fallen. If Sikhs had not rebelled against the State when the Mughals and British ruled your forefathers where would you be now? Again you have decided to blame Sikh grievances and the abuses and atrocities carried out against Sikhs to Bhindranwale and totally ignore all of the evidence and narrative that I have painstakingly presented to you to make you understand the why it happened as well as the what happened. You have no interest in the truth or justice but cling to iniquity’s robes. I know you don’t believe in Waheguru so how can you fear Him or the divine judgement you will face when you die? I could appeal to your mercenary instinct for survival (which serves you so well in your constant exhortation that man must submit to oppression) and suggest you put some rainy day coins onto the scales of justice that are weighing your virtue and vice just on the off chance that God does actually exist and will judge your moral actions as a human being in this life. But I think I prefer just to be the witness for the prosecution in the divine court when you stand accused in the dock. You can protest your innocence, claim that whatever you did was in ignorance of the truth but my testimony will be that you were given an opportunity to mend your ways repeatedly on this website, that you had full access to truth, full instruction in what justice is, were even warned that your karma was at stake if you persisted in falsehood, told again and again that there is no higher authority than God Himself and that it is a sin not to see Him in all of humanity. I am the accusing finger ‘RSS Harinder’, J’accuse…!

  5. The Indian state and Punjabi State will deal firmly with any one indulging in VIOLENCE .
    All Indians are born equal and will enjoy the same right enshrined in the CONSTITUTION of INDIA.
    This is for all the Religious , Casteist , Language ,state or National extremists .

    NO DADAGIRI BY ANY ONE .

    We will live as a

    “RULE ABIDING SOCIETY”

    Rules will so made for the Good of all the People of India .

    • ”The Indian state and Punjabi State will deal firmly with any one indulging in VIOLENCE’. Except for Politicians of course. They get free pass. Oh, and also Punjabi police officers, they can also kidnap, torture and murder with complete impugnity. ‘We will live as a “RULE ABIDING SOCIETY”’ – unless you are involved in the murder, rape or looting of Sikhs then the law does not apply to and you can get off scot free because hey after all they are only uppity Sikhs full of pride about their religious and martial achievements in establishing and sustaining the country and need to be brought down to the level of the Dalit (who also does not have normal laws apply to his human rights either because he too should really know and accept his lowly place in Hinduvta society so ‘All Indians are born equal’ does not apply to him either). Up is down, black is white, the earth is flat and balanced on the back of a giant turtle, monkeys can talk and fly, those who are victims of genocide should not expect or even desire justice as that is extremist talk – all these things RSS Harinder believes and thinks we will believe too just by his constant drip-drip mantra of the patently absurd. Brainwashing works on the weak minded and weak willed – not on the Sikh.

  6. I don’t under stand even if Dogras betrayed Ranjit Singh to East Indian company they did not invade Ranjit Singh Empire .They can be guilty of betrayal but not of invasion .

    Jinnah had the backing of the Caliphate to steal our land and drive us out.

    1984 was a Congress sponsored Genocide and iInvasion in response to the killing of innocent Punjabi Hindus in Punjab by Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale from the Premise of Golden Temple.

    Moral of the Story : —
    Make new laws which will keep both the
    1) Religious bigots and
    2) state power
    under check .They can both be very oppressive .

    We want to enjoy our Freedom and let other people also enjoy it who so ever they may be.

    • You don’t understand because you have brought the same level of The EIC did not ‘invade’ the Sikh Empire. They had a treaty with Ranjit Singh to stop him moving southwards over the Sutlej and threaten the rest of India which was under their control. They made this treaty because Ranjit SIngh’s Khalsa Raj was too formidable an opponent to take on in the field as the Khalsa army was undefeated against the Moghul and the Afghan and had also been versed in European soldiery through the employment of Napoleon’s ex-generals. The treaty ensured that Ranjit would not impinge upin British rule in the rest of the subcontinent and allowe them to buy time to find another way to subvert the Sikh Empire. This they did by finding men who were prepared to commit treason (although even they did not have the courage to commit such treachery whilst Ranjit was actually alive). The crucial traitors were the Hindu Dogra brothers Dhian and Gulab who both enjoyed enormous patronage and trust in Ranjit’s court being his most senior ministers. Without their treachery there was no possibility or even an attempt at invading Sikh territory to be made by the EIC in the decades of Ranjit’s rule. Once it became clear Ranjit was dying the Dogras signed on the dotted line (assuring the EIC full co-operation of their corrupted commanders and battle plans in the field) the EIC was emboldened enough to begin minor raids and skirmishes on the Sikh empire’s border. The plan was to provoke the Khalsa army by occupying land on the south bank of the Sutlej – which was part of the SIkh Empire’s terriory. This deliberate provocation by the EIC was only done after the Dogras had co-opted fellow traitors Tej and Lal Singh (Generals of the Sikh army) to provide both battle plans and assurances of military support e.g. withdrawing their troops at crucial moments, failing to resupply etc. without the Dogras as lynchpin there was no way the EIC was going to engage with the Khalsa army, the Dogras treason was absolutely crucial and even after the first anglo-Sikh war (won by the skin of the teeth and treachery of Lal and Tej) the EIC’s treaty was not of conquest but of limited occupation as its terms stated they were staying in the SIkh kingdom only so long as the child Maharajah Duleep Singh came of age. The annexation occurred after the second Anglo Sikh war when the EIC had effectively disarmed the Khalsa army.
      Moral of the story – Sikhs must be aware of non-Sikhs (who should be faithful and grateful for the liberties they have received because of our sacrifices) and traitorous fifth columnists in their ranks ready to backstab them for selfish personal gain. As for Jinnah, what caliphate are you talking about, most of the Muslim and Arab world was still in or just emerging like a newborn form imperial rule all across the globe. He is a remarkable visionary in that he secured a sovereign independent nation for the Punjabi Mussalman when historically they had never had such a country in contrast to ‘Master’ Tara SIngh who either through being bamboozled, seduced or wishful thinking managed the complete opposite for Sikh interests with Nehru.
      1984 was NOT just a Congress sponsored genocide; the BJP fully supported a crackdown on the Sikhs for what they purported to be attacks on innocent Hindus by Bhindranwale (who was also seen by them as being a catspaw of Indira in trying to undermine Akali Dal political hegemony in Punjab). The Sikhs had been as I have told you repeatedly agitating for their rights since 1947 (where the promises given to them to throw in their lot with India had been reneged upon) culminating in the drawing up of the Anandpur Sahib Resolutions well before and nothing to do with Bhindranwale. The excuse used that innocent Hindus had been targeted belies the fact that SIkhs had been murdered by Nirankaris (protected and incited by the Indian Sarkar) in 1978 and that a prominent Hinduvta newspaper publisher had been repeatedly inciting provocative hatred and communal unrest against Sikhs in Punjab. The Darbar Sahib (the fact that you call it the Golden Temple again just testifies that you are not a Sikh) is a Sikh Gurdwara not a property and if you really wanted to remove Bhindranwale from there it could have easily have been done with Sikh regiment surrounding the complex and just cutting off supplies allowing other SIkhs to act as intermediaries to talk him out. Bhindranwale was actually arrested and released from a police cell before he took up occupancy in the Darbar Sahib so that alone tells you there is something untoward and disingenuous about the Indian version of events going on. The attack on Durbar Sahib on one of its busiest days for pilgrimage with the pursuant declaration of martial law in Punjab with media blackout and the subsequent demolition of the Akal Takht (literally the seat of temporal authority in Sikhism and so a symbol needing to be destroyed to try and humble the uppity Sikh) by tank shell fire as well as the theft and arson of the library destroying and removing irreplaceable Sikh historical artefacts and religious relics speaks for itself. No point you trying to rewrite history – all of these events are very well documented. Leave the Sikhs alone, stop trying to infiltrate and subvert our religion and observe our human rights – it’s not too much to expect considering the sacrifices we have made for your liberty down through the centuries as we are the ultimate guarantors of freedom in this country (see expulsion of Moghuls, Afghans, British, fighting wars against Pakistan and China (look at the tiny size of our population and then at how many Sikhs fought to truly understand this) rejection of Indira Gandhi’s despotic emergency rule et al).

      • Also important to understand the pivotal role the Dogras played in high treason against the Khalsa Raj is the suspicion that Dhian Dogra in particular may have actually murdered heir apparent Nau Nihal Singh who was on his way abck form his won father’s funeral (Maharjah Kharak Singh) when ‘coincidentally’ a stone arch just happned to fall on top of him. Dhian was walking ten feet behind and rushed Nau Nihal’s bleeding body back into the fort where he prevented Nau NIhal’s mother and wife from seeing him until Dhian emerged several hours later to announce Nau Nihal had ‘died of his injuries’. Maharajah Ranjit Singh should have nominated his grandson Nau Nihal Singh as successor rather than his opium addicted elder son Kharak because Nau Nihal was an opponent of the Dogras court influence and was considered to be a ‘chip off the block’ by the British EIC who would not have wanted conflict with the Khalsa Raj with him installed as Maharajah as he was both young and militarily capable (invoking the reputation of the young Ranjit himself). It was then vital for Nau Nihal to be done away with and Dhian’s behaviour, opportunity and motives are all there for everyone to assess.

  7. You are equally RSS centric and not Empire centric.

    1) British Empire invaded Ranjit Singh kingdom and not the Dogras. It was a fight between the Empire along with Native Indian vs Ranjit Singh and not Ranjit vs Dogras. This Dogra betrayal stuff is most likely Propaganda done by the ministry of Justice in the Orwell British Empire.

    2) The division of Punjab was carried out by Britisher not Jinnha or Nehru. Jinnha was hardly a visionary he just stole our land .

    3) Sikhs are equal citizens in India not withstanding the 84 genocide. I agree that Hindu mobs carried out the 3rd Genocide of Sikhs like the Sikh Bhinderwala who did the targeted killing of Hindus in 1980-1990. This civil war was most. likely started by Empire’s agencies.

    The answer to 1984 genocide is “RESSURRECTION” and not the elusive Justice.

    • You have no grasp of historic facts. 1) The fundamental role of the Dogra brothers is extremely well documented not least the reward given to Gulab Dogra by the East India Company (which was a private company acting as a proxy for the British Government rather than British Empire) of the Rajaship of Kashmir in payment for his treachery. The EIC had a treaty with Ranjit SIngh and did not dare attack his Sikh Empire whilst he was alive as the Dogras were not prepared to betray Ranjit whilst he lived such was their fear of him. The fact that you are trying to deflect responsibility even form the Dogras over a hundred and fifty years later says it all about your anti-Sikh feeling. 2) Jinnah was a visionary leader as he could foresee that Muslims could not rely upon Hindu beneficence in a democratic country where the Hindu had a majority veto. How many Muslims since 1947 have been slaughtered in India through communalism? 3) How can SIkhs be equal citizens when they are murdered in the streets and their murderers are protected and rewarded even thirty years on by the State?! You yourself have found Bhai Parmajit Singh guilty of a crime which the evidence cannot support simply because he is wearing a turban. Sikhs have been the victims of extra judicial kidnappings, torture and murder by police (admitted to by one of the killers Gurmeet Pinky) into the 1990s well over a decade after the Indian State desecrated Darbar Sahib and martyred Bhindranwale (note you have dropped the Sant after I pointed it out to you although it is clear you only used the term as a sop to try and ingratiate your anti-Sikh propaganda). Again you demand that SIkhs should forsake the pursuit of Justice and allow the perpetrators of genocide, rape, arson and looting of Sikhs to go completely free and unpunished. What further evidence do you need to see Sikhs are treated like third class citizens in their own country – you know the one they birthed and sustained disproportionately. Keep on peddling your Hinduvta lies and I will keep on ripping them down and exposing you for the hypocrite you are. You are doing your RSS no good posting here.

  8. Sikh Kingdom of Ranjit Singh was destroyed by the “EMPIRE ”

    1) British Empire in the two Anglo -Sikh wars
    2) British in 1947 partition by Radcliffe Line
    3) Mr Nehru to whom the Britain handed the Indian state continued with British policy of suppressing the Sikhs

    How ever the Sikhs have “RESURRECTED ” them selves all over the Globe minus their Kingdom.

    • The same Sikhs living in majority in Punjab today are the direct descendants of the Sikhs of the Maharajah Ranjit Singh’s Khalsa Raj. You are trying to insinuate the Sikhs have left their kingdom and been dispersed around the world. I would remind you the Jews were also forced out of their religious homeland and look at Israel now. As for the rest of your drivel well again I have posted the response to which you have never had any answer for other readers below who might be misled by your poor and prejudiced grasp of historical facts.

    • Let me explain (for the umpteenth time) to you that you have a completely cock-eyed and prejudiced regard for historical facts. (1) The Khalsa Raj of Maharajah Ranjit Singh was not dismantled in ‘Anglo-Sikh Wars but by the internal treachery of the Dogra brothers Dhian Singh (Vizier) and Gholab Singh (rewarded for his traitorous collaboration by the East India Company by being given the Rajaship of Kashmir which has led to the anomaly of a Hindu Raja overlording a predominantly Muslim state). These two Hindu Dogra traitors may have hastened Maharajah Ranjit Singh’s death (there is a suggestion that he was poisoned) and acted on the behalf of the EIC promising the co-operation of their fifth columnist commanders in the field and all battle plans recruiting two particular ‘Sikh’ generals Tej Singh & Lal Singh to betray the Sikh Empire and working their way through Ranjit’s successors (Kharak Singh was probably also poisoned and Dhian’s Singh hand is bloodstained with the murder of the grandson Nau Nihal Singh in particular). Their treachery was absolutely vital in the loss of the first Anglo Sikh War when EIC’s General Gough was on the point of defeat at the battle of Mudki (and was in the midst of burning all his papers in his tent so convinced was he of defeat) when the Dogras, Tej and Lal Singh withheld supplies and refrained from joining the attack. The lesson to be learned is that the ‘Empire’ did not win by annexation but by the infiltration of traitors and collaborators within the Sikh Empire – sound familiar today?
      (2) The drawing of the border between India and Pakistan to the detriment of the Sikhs was largely due to Nehru’s duplicity with Master Tara Singh. Nehru made promises (that he never intended to keep) to the Sikhs which were designed to prevent Tara Singh taking up Mountbatten’s offer to restore a Sikh kingdom (albeit one with a smaller territory than before annexation). Mahatama Gandhi toured the Punjab and made speeches to the Sikh masses backing up Nehru’s Congress claims that the Sikhs sovereignty would be respected within a greater India. Sikhs were stupid too trusting and completely bamboozled by Nehru (a man whose integrity would have been revealed to them if they had known he was committing adultery with Mountbatten’s wife at the same time which who knows might have led to Mountbatten giving a little less territory to India as it had been generally supposed for example that Lahore would go to India which would have great for the Sikhs in terms of their military and religious history (Nankana Sahib would have been ceded as well). If the Sikhs had a visionary leader like Jinnah we would have not been fooled (Gandhi even promised Jinnah a Muslim could be leader of India if that would keep the Muslims from forming Pakistan and he still understood this would never play with the Hindu majority masses). This lack of visionary Sikh leadership (added to with active collaboration and treachery) is still used today to bamboozle the Sikhs out of their rights in India. (3) It is absolutely outrageous that you are blaming the British for the attack on Darbar Sahib (not to mention all the other Gurdwaras in Punjab happening at the same time) and SIkh genocide from 1980 to mid 90s! INdira Gandhi herself approached British PM to ask for help in how to attack Darbar Sahib in January 1984. The British sent a SAS Major to plan it but the Indian army true to their incompetence and arrogance rejected this treacherous plan for a more calamitous one of their own. The Indian PM hated the Sikhs because the Akali Dal were agitating for Sikhs rights (denied to them from the moment India was birthed) and had formulated the Anandpur Sahib Resolution during the 1960s into the 70s. Instead of addressing those genuine grievances Sikhs were continually rebuffed – the 1966 secession of Punjabi Hindus abandoning both their mother tongue Punjabi and state Punjab for Hindi and the creation of Haryana with all the attendant subsequent issues surrounded unfair re-channelling of Punjab water without Sikh consent (who were the majority in an agrarian dependent Punjab and against established worldwide riparian conventions) right up to the murder of Sikhs by Nirankari’s backed by Indira Gandhi (did I mention she also instigated an illegal and draconian state of emergency in India from 1975 to 1977 in response to being found guilty of fraud by a court). Sikhs were pivotal in fighting against her despotism (because her Congress could not defeat them in Punjab) from the moment she illegally declared a state of emergency (in order to stop court proceedings against her which had found her guilty of election fraud in Ahmedabad). Nothing to do with British Empire but purely Indian Brahmanical thinking. She and her Congress Party (going back to the treachery of her father Nehru whose own lack of integrity is further revealed that when he as PM lost the war to China he did NOT even resign whilst my family members lost limbs and eyes fighting the Chinese army!) are solely responsible for the betrayal of promises made to Sikhs to induce them to throw in their lot with India rather than re-create their own Sikh sovereign state. Indira instigated terror in the Punjab to in a divide and conquer policy to undermine the Akali Dal’s political power in Punjab (In 1978 Sikhs were being murdered with police and political collusion by Nirankari proxys of Indira Gandhi) and then cynically used it as an excuse to attack the Sikhs directly with Operation Bluestar (planned and carried out by the Indian Army against the wishes of two of its top generals who were subsequently removed by Indira Gandhi). The genocide of Sikhs in Delhi in 1984 were not carried out by the British but by Hindu mobs orchestrated by Congress Party Officials with the full consent of the Indian army, police and judiciary. Everyone knows this but you are still acting as an apologist which disgusts me – no matter how much you keep peddling lies ‘RSS Harinder’ they will NOT be accepted as the truth and you are making the case for Sikh self-determination ever stronger with your criminal amnesia and denial.
      AS you are a Hindu (posing as a Sikh for nefarious reasons) I can quite understand why you wish to shift blame and attention onto Sikhs and existential forces rather than address the actual historical facts of the case but then to even absolve yourself of this responsibility and blame foreign Empires – you are either genuinely delusional (which may account for your poor grasp of history although the RSS attempts to change that in Indian history school textbooks may also be to blame) or cynically trying to condemn the Sikhs as whenever they raise their heads in dissent you accuse them of being militants or terrorists (although cant quite bring yourself to use such terms when we talk of Bhagat SIngh or Udham Singh when they resisted despotism and tyranny of the sarkar). Very telling of your real agenda and the frequency with which you post in this Sikh website with the same anti-Sikh drip-drip message. Truth and reconciliation is only possible when you are willing to accept the unpalatable truth and are genuine about reconciling – you clearly are not there yet and as a consequence not only do the Sikhs continue to suffer but India herself is dishonoured.

  9. 1980 to 1990 was botched up Punjab by Mrs Indira Gandhi and Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale
    We will not allow such kind of people to spoil our beautiful peaceful Punjab .
    We will live in our traditional harmony and brother hood and chart a bright future for our children free from strife .
    We have learnt important lessons from 1980 1990 senseless violence.
    No religious zealots or bigots will be allowed to run amuck in Punjab.

    • ‘No religious zealots or bigots will be allowed to run amuck in Punjab’ – only tinpot dictators (after you yourself call Badal’s governance a ‘regime’) who will enrich their own families and friends at the expense of the Punjabi. For you a Sikh wearing a turban is a religious zealot who needs to be kidnapped, tortured and murdered. You got away with that in the past but the truth will out and with the advent of internet, smart phones videoing your crimes and the Sikhs pricking the moral conscience of foreign countries to care about abuses and atrocities being carried out against the Sikh nation you are exposed. For other readers – you know the ones you are preaching your RSS propaganda to I have posted again below my response to your ill informed notion that only Indira Gandhi and Bhindranwale (points for actually spelling his name right this time although I think your RSS paymasters would be chagrined by you using the appellation ‘Sant’ for him – you should be okay though as long as you’re not a Dalit as you must have earned a lot of credit with the Badals for all the disgusting ingratiating boot-licking you do for them on this website) were responsible and that somehow everything was paradise in Punjab before then. The Anandpur Sahib Resolutions utterly belie that of course but hey since when you have you ever allowed historical facts to get in the way of your bigoted blathering.

    • You are looking at the wrong causality, Bhindranwale died in 1984 but the injustices against Sikhs started decades before that when promises and assurances given to Sikhs to join India (and reject the setting up of their own Sikh state) by Nehru and the Congress Party were reneged upon. The sharing of state capital (Chandigarh) between two states, the redistribution of river water(the Punjab means 5 rivers and water is essential to Punjab’s history and agricultural base), the denial of a Sikh marriage act recognising the Anand Karaj (which effectively meant that Sikhs were being counted as Hindus), the rejection of Punjabi as the language of Punjab, the cleaving off of Punjab’s land to form another state territory with Haryana, etc – the grievances are well documented in the Anandpur Sahib Resolutions formulated in the sixties and seventies. The Nirankaris are a heretical sect which were first supported by the British in their divide and rule policy to try and neuter the Sikhs pre-independence. Indira Gandhi resurrected this policy for exactly the same nefarious reason during the 1970s as her Congress Party could not overhaul the Sikh political party at that time the Akali Dal through the ballot box. The Sikhs had been peacefully demanding their rights from Independence in 1947 as it became clearer that Nehru having wooed / bamboozled Master Tara ISngh and SIkh leadership into siding with India (instead of Pakistan or re-establishing their own sovereign Sikh state such as the Khalsa Raj of Maharajah Ranjit Singh which encompassed territory from Kashmir, Punjab (north of the Sutlej) and lands up to the Khyber) had no intention of honouring promises made. This lack of faith from Nehru led to the Anandpur Sahib Resolutions to address Sikh grievances over two decades before Bhindranwale even came on the scene although you have correctly noted that the murders of innocent SIkhs by Indira’s State sponsored and protected Nirankaris led to Sikh backlash.

  10. India is a secular country and law abiding country. Anyone breaking the law will be dealt as per the Law
    Indian state is not run by religious edicts and decisions.
    Let them win a election in Punjab and make there own laws for Punjab state they so desire.
    2017 elections are around the corner and they are well with in there right to become the

    “KING OF PUNJAB”

    • ‘India is a secular country’ – Tell to that to your Hinduvta masters. ‘India is law abiding country. Anyone breaking the law will be dealt as per the Law’ – the likes of Sajjan Kumar, Jagdish Tytler, Kamal Nath etc have been living in India since 1984 but neither they nor the thousands involved in genocide against Sikhs (not just the Congress and RSS mobilised mobs but police officers, party officials, media persons and members of judiciary that have effectively passed off the anti-Sikh pogrom in 1984 (as well as the extra judicial murder of Sikhs that followed for over a decade) as ‘understandable’ (and though they are loathe to say it out loud in their minds they think ‘justifiable’) have seen the inside of a prison unlike Sikhs who are grabbed on suspicion of sedition for cutting down a tree! It is one rule of law for Sikhs (you are guilty unless you can prove your innocence) and the opposite law for those who murder Sikhs (i.e. You are innocent not just until you are proven guilty but innocent no matter how many inquiries and how much evidence is provided over three decades and counting).

  11. It is not possible to hold the historical Sarbatt Khalsa as Sikhs are widely spread out all over the Globe.

    The only Sarbatt Khalsa possible is Online .

    Any number they hold will just be labelled as Indian Punjab Sarbatt Khalsa.

    • Note the key insidious words RSS Harinder is trying to use to undermine the authority of Sarbat Khalsa – ‘historical’ meaning it is relegated to the past and has no place in the present or future of Sikhism, SIkhs are widely spread out in the globe as if the NRI Sikhs do not have the exact same right and say as SIkhs in India to manage Sikh affairs. When Sikhs came from around the globe for the last Sarbat Khalsa your friend Badal had them arrested for sedition and this time no doubt will try his utmost (with Modi BJP Hinduvta complicity) to prevent them from entering India. The cynicism with which RSS Harinder talks of Sarbat Khalsa ‘online’ when he knows perfectly well the censorship of websites in India against Sikh websites and organisations abroad is truly staggering in its arrogance and sheer ignorance of Sikh determination. Tell me RSS Harinder was the last Sarbat Khalsa that scared the **** out of Badal labelled just as Indian Punjab Sarbat Khalsa? You cannot and will not silence the voice of the Sikhs raised in protest against your determined pernicious autocratic attempt to castrate Sikhi.
