Clouds of War Between India and Pakistan Gather

Clouds of War Between India and Pakistan Gather
India Is on the Verge of Disintegration
Sikh Soldiers and Officers Should Not Fight for India But to Free Khalistan
Now Is the Perfect Time to Launch Shantmai Morcha to Liberate Khalistan

Dear Khalsa Ji:

WAHE GURU JI KA KHALSA, WAHE GURU JI KI FATEH!

War clouds are gathering in South Asia. War between India and Pakistan looks imminent. It is expected to break out this fall. Troops have been gathering on the borders, and the recent killings in Kashmir provide the Indian government with an excuse to attack Pakistan. The killing of Abdul Ghanni Lone, a leader of the Kashmiri freedom movement, merely heightens the tensions.

Remember that the fanatic BJP leaders are on record that they want to make an “Akand Bharat” by defeating Pakistan and incorporating it into India. Their aggression in Kashmir is internationally known. They will not hold a plebiscite in Kashmir, as they promised to do in 1948. It is India that launched the nuclear arms race in South Asia and has nuclear weapons pointed at Pakistan. Despite the militant Hindu nationalist government’s statement that they do not intend to attack Pakistan, it is clear that their drive for hegemony over all of South Asia continues.

If war breaks out, Sikh soldiers and officers should not fight for India. Instead, Sikhs should take this opportunity to reclaim our lost sovereignty and liberate our homeland, Punjab, Khalistan, from Indian occupation.

L.K. Advani has said that when Kashmir goes, India will fall apart, and he is right. We must take advantage of this situation to reclaim our lost sovereignty. Sovereignty is our birthright. The Guru gave sovereignty to the Khalsa Panth. (“In grieb Sikhin ko deon Patshahi.”) Banda Singh Bahadur established the first Khalsa rule in Punjab from 1710 to 1716. Then there was a period of persecution of the Sikhs. Again Sikhs established a sovereign, independent rule from 1765 to 1849, when the British annexed the Sikh homeland, Punjab, into British India.

This is a wake-up call for the Sikh Nation. The massacre of Muslims in Gujarat is a testament to this. The fanatic Vishav Hindu Parishad (VHP) burned Christian missionary Graham Staines and his two young sons alive. They murdered priests, raped nuns, and burned churches. They are assimilating Christianity, Islam, and every other minority into Hinduism. The Sikh Nation must free itself from India to ensure its survival as a nation and to enjoy a prosperous future. Without political power, nations perish.

About 80 percent of the sacrifices during the fight to regain freedom from the British were Sikhs, even though Sikhs formed only 1.5 percent of the Indian population at the time. At the time of India’s independence, Sikhs were equal signatories to the transfer of power from the British. The Sikh leadership should have gotten an independent country for the Sikhs at that time, but they were fooled by the Hindu leadership of Nehru and Gandhi so Sikhs took their share and joined India on the promise that they would have the glow of freedom.

We have seen this “glow of freedom” in the form of the attack on the Golden Temple in June 1984, when over 20,000 Sikhs were killed in Punjab in a single month. Sikhs can never forgive or forget the desecration of the Golden Temple. This is the history and tradition of the Sikh Nation.

The next massacre of Sikhs occurred after the assassination of Indira Gandhi in Delhi. There was a mass murder of Sikhs throughout India, including Delhi. The Sikhs were pulled out of trains and burned alive. Sikh truck drivers were pulled out of their trucks. Hindu militants put tires around their necks and burned them to death. Sikh police officers were disarmed and confined to their barracks. This is very similar to what happened recently to the Muslims in Gujarat.

Human Rights Watch Asia has clearly stated that the Indian government orchestrated the recent genocide in Gujarat. Policemen stood and watched while Muslims were attacked and murdered. One policeman said that he was ordered not to stop the violence. This is the same modus operandi that the Indian government used in 1984 to burn the Sikhs alive and destroy their property. For the Sikh Nation to ensure their safety, we must free our homeland, Punjab, Khalistan, form Indian occupation. We pray every day “Raj Kare Ga Khalsa.” We must do our best to realize our God-given right to be free.

The Indian government has murdered over 250,000 Sikhs since 1984. The U.S. State Department reported in 1994 that the Indian government paid out over 41,000 cash bounties to police officers for killing Sikhs. According to a report by the Movement Against State Repression MASR), the Indian government admitted that 52,268 are rotting in Indian jails under TADA, which expired in 1995. Many of them have been in illegal custody since Operation Bluestar in 1984. In February, 42 Members of the U.S. Congress from both political parties wrote to President Bush to get these political prisoners released. The U.S. government recently added India to its “watch list” of violators of religious freedom. It should impose sanctions to stop the oppression of Sikhs, Christians, Muslims, and others.

Jaswant Singh Khalra, who exposed the government killing of Sikhs in fake encounters, became a victim of the Indian police himself. He was kidnapped outside his house and murdered in police custody. Even Akal Takht Jathedar Sardar Gurdev Singh Kaunke was murdered by SSP Swaran Singh Ghotna and then his body was disposed of. The Badal government was forced to conduct an inquiry by three Punjab police officials under the leadership of DIG Tiwari into the killing of Jathedar Kaunke. As of today that report has not been made public.

The only solution is the formation of a Khalsa Raj Party under new, honest, dedicated, and committed leadership. Now is the time to do it. Let’s not waste time and prolong the suffering and agony of the Sikh Nation. The only remedy is to sever our relationship with Delhi completely, declare independence from India and start a peaceful agitation to free the Sikh homeland, Punjab, Khalistan. The present Akali leadership of Badal, Tohra, Mann, and others are under Indian government control. Their betrayal of the Sikh Nation is well documented in the book Chakravyuh: Web of Indian Secularism by S. Gurtej Singh.

Sikhs are a sovereign, independent nation and ruled Punjab until 1849. The only way the Sikh Nation can protect itself from the Indian government’s ongoing efforts to destroy the Sikh religion is to achieve independence for our homeland, Khalistan. Guru gave sovereignty to the Khalsa Panth. The new Sikh leadership must launch a Shantmai Morcha to liberate our homeland. The only way the Sikh Nation can prosper is to free the Sikh homeland, Punjab, Khalistan. The freedom of the Sikh Nation will bring prosperity, stability, and peace to Punjab and to South Asia.

Panth Da Sewadar,

Dr. Gurmit Singh Aulakh
President
Council of Khalistan

It is India that started the nuclear arms race in South Asia with its provocative tests

The nuclear arms race isnt limited to south asia. China started the race in that region.

It wasn't until sometime after 9/11 that I became aware of all the separatist movements in India, and the fact that they are actually serious. I think most Americans were vaguely aware of the situation in Kashmir, but never paid much attention to it until Pakistan and India starting setting off underground nukes.

I really don't know anything about the Sikh separatist movement except from the posts you occasionally make. It's hard to believe that the Indians are anywhere near as evil as these articles portray, but I was surprised that the government allowed the reprisal slaughter of muslims in Gujarat to go on for days. So, I guess I'm still formulating an opinion.

India is a fascinating place, but it's obviously still maturing as a democracy after British colonial rule. There is still a lot to resolve, apparently. I don't have an opinion on the Sikh separatist movement, at least yet, but I think I'm opposed in general to the Balkanization of India. It hasn't worked too well in the case of Pakistan, and I think a bunch of small, angry states being carved out of India is probably a bad idea.

Maybe a better solution would be greater autonomy for the various states. I don't know.

Federalisation, unfortunately, has been a non-starter with the Congress Party til 1990 and since then the security situation seems to have precluded serious discussion of this phenomenal concept in helping rule and unite a diverse and huge place. Good point.

Are the two major parties in India the BJP and the Congress Party? I get the feeling that the BJP is a Hindu nationalist party, and the Congress Party is something like our Democrats. Is that close to being accurate?

I don't want any harm to come to either side and I certainly don't want nukes used. But if I had to play God and choose one of them to remain, I'd choose India. I have several friends who are Indian and I like them all. I don't know any Pakistanis. I haven't been to either country. What I hear on the (completely unbiased and truthful) news is that Pakistan is composed of millions of Osama bin Ladens and one Pervez Musharraf. India opposes US power and policies, Pakistan wants us dead. India is filled with people who wish we would mind our own business and/or be more consistent, Pakistan is filled with people who want us dead. You do the math.

Yes. The BJP (Bharatiya (Indian) Janata (People's) Party) is a conservative party with traditional, albeit secular values. The Congress party is a bunch of leftwing socialists.

Pakistan says it will not start a war with India??? What a load of crap - they already started it - they have allowed (and even encouraged) Muslim extremists to enter India and pull of several acts of terrorism.

I also believe it was the Pakistani troops that started the exchange of fire with India's troops after India chased a large group of terrorists through Kashmir -

Pretty much. Briefly, the Congress Party comes from a background influenced by the LabourParty and Fabian Socialism of Great Britain in the 40's and 50's.

The BJP Coalition has the saffronista component but also, and far more importannt, IMO, includes what was in the 60's and 70's the Swatantra Party; a Pro-business and Pro-US party. Jaswant Singh, India's Foreign Minister comes out of this business/pro-US wing.

No, Pakistan is NOT composed of millions of people who want us dead. That is simple anti-Islamism. Most Islamic people don't want us dead. Osama bin Laden represents a small sector called Wahabis, founded in Saudi Arabia, which is militant and does want us dead. But it's only one of several Muslim factions.

While there are a number of these people in Pakistan, there are many more who support us. India, OTOH, has a long record of anti-Americanism.

Jesse Jackson is an America-hating racist Commie. He is a Baptist minister. Baptists are Christians. Should we conclude that Christians are mostly anti-American racist Commies?

Bzzzztt... Wrong answer, and you didn't put it in the form of a question. While India is not one of our closest friends, I would not go as far as to say that there is a "long record of anti-Americanism" especially considering that Pakistan is loaded with Al Qaeda and Taliban members, and that the Pakistani government has done little to actually help us get rid of them.

Let's not forget that Osama bin Laden is more than likely holed up in Pakistan as well. And what has Musharrif and his cronies done to help us find him? Not a darned thing. If anything, that tells me that Musharrif and his government are just as guilty at supporting terrorism, and connecting the dots (that President Bush has laid out for us) from there, they deserve the same punishment as the terrorists. India will just be the ones handling the opening of said can of WhoopAss®. Thanks for playing; we've got some wonderful parting gifts for you backstage.

Thanks for the info.

Does "saffronista" refer to the Hindu movement? That has been the one thing about the BJP that seems troubling to me. It seems to be portrayed as somewhat of a pro-Hindu, anti-any-other-religion party. I don't know how accurate that is, but I think that would be a bad thing in a country that is fighting separatist movements.

I think hindu extremism has been a response to the increasing islamic radicalism in pakistan and across the subcontinent. Elements have engaged in some heinous and savage acts against other religions. These seem to have been effectively stopped by prosecution and security measures.

Are they nutty? Sure. They want to stop me eating a steak in Bombay. Fat chance of that happening. But they need to be watched in case they spiral out of control. The biggest factor feeding them is islamic nuttiness.

You never get enough... ground hog day over and over in your world.

Here's two posters, if they are so inclined, that can straighten out Dr. Aulakh.

You've heard it all before, but you keep posting crap from Council. I, for one, am tired of you and lies you post. Maybe these guys will handle it. (sorry for the ping fellas. This is probably not worth your time, but in case...)

I suspect you are right. And I think it's a natural reaction. If we proposed a new party in America, the Beat Up Muslims Party, we could probably become a major party overnight. If we added some Christian overtones to it, I don't think it would be significantly different than the Hindu extremists, or even the Islamic radicals.

That's the biggest danger of these Islamists. They are polarizing the planet into factions that each feel entitled, if not obligated, to wipe out the other heathens and infidels. George W Bush had to quickly change his terminology from "crusade" to "campaign" against terrorism because of this exact polarizing effect.

It would an interesting subject for a book someday, assuming it has a happy ending and we don't all blow each other up.
