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

Yes, I can see that you both would agree on some of these reports, although it's not surprising.

This one?

...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. Post #22

Hey Mike - the streets of many Ahmedabad neighborhoods were strictly no-go zones for Muslims for over a month. That just can't happen without either wilful negligence on the part of the government, or cooperation.

You may be right - I am sure there was severe retaliation; but not so sure that the government was behind it. In any case, I am pointing out one point of agreement between Dog Gone and TBP.

Gosh, that was in all the papers, including India's. Simply because I believe something that is an established fact (unless you want to convince us that it didn't happen), doesn't really align me with all the allegations in this article, does it?

As I said, I am merely pointing out one point you agree on! I am neither disputing it nor agreeing with it.

Okay, but you and Hitler both agree that the sun rises in the East, and I didn't feel compelled to point that out until now.

Now that we're even in character assassination by association, maybe we can stick to the issues, okay?

You know better.
The Council of Khalistan has repeatedly said
that it opposes terrorism wherever it occurs,
that it opposes militancy,
and that it supports freeing the Sikh homeland,
Khalistan,
from India
by peaceful, democratic, nonviolent means.

Why that sounds exactly like the program
of that other great lover of peace,
Yassar Arafat.

Anyway,
I am relieved to learn
that the 'Council of Khalistan' had nothing to do
with the Sikh terrorist act
that killed 300+ people
on a flight from Canada
long before 09-11-01

No, but according to Brian McAndrew of the Toronto Star and Zuhair Kashmeri of the Toronto Globe and Mail in their book Soft Target, the Indian government had a lot to do with it.

It shows that the Indian Consul General in Toronto pulled his daughter off the flight shortly before it was due to depart. An auto dealer who was a friend of the Consul General also cancelled his reservation at the last minute. Surinder Singh, director of North American Affairs for the External Affairs office in New Delhi, also cancelled his reservation on that flight.

The Consul General also called to finger a suspect in the case before the public knew that the bombing had taken place. The book quotes an agent of the Canadian State Investigative Service (CSIS) as saying, "If you really want to clear the incidents quickly, take vans down to the Indian High Commission and the consulates in Toronto and Vancouver, load up everybody and take them down for questioning. We know it and they know it that they are involved."

The BJP and teh Congress Party are the major parties and leaders of teh two major blocs. Currently, the BJP governs at the head of a 25-party coalition.

The BJP is militantly Hindu nationalist. Its creed is "Hindu, Hindi, Hindutva, Hindu Rashtra." Its leaders say things like all Indians must either be Hindus or subservient to Hindus.

The BJP is the political arm of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS), an umbrella organization that is th parent organization of both BJP and its even more militant coalition partner, Shiv Sena. The RSS was founded in 1925 in admiration and support of the Fascists. Its tentacles include the violent Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), which is the organization that murdered missionary Graham Staines. The RSS itself has produced a booklet detailing how to file fake criminal cases against Christians and othe rminorities. Yet Prime Minister Vajpayee told an audience in New York in 2000, "I will always be a Swayamsewak."

The Congress Party is no better. For one thing, it's like the Democratic Party, only more so. It's out-and-out socialist and is in coalition with the Communist Party among many others. Despite its claim to be secular, it was a Congress government that carried out the military attack on the Golden Temple, the seat of the Sikh religion, and 38 other Sikh temples in Punjab, killing at least 20,000. It was a Congress government that inflicted the worst bloodshed on Punjab, on Kashmir, and on other minority states.

The choice is much like an election between Nazis and Communists. "Any way you look at it, you lose." There seems to be recognition of this from both sides of the aisle and from across the political spectrum here in the USA. Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-NY) has said, "The mere fact that they [minorities] have the right to choose their oppressors does not mean tehy live in a democracy." Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Cal.) has said, "“When it comes to Kashmir and Punjab and Jammu, the Indian Government might as well not be a democracy. For people in those areas, India might as well be Nazi Germany.”

I suspect the "Council of Khalistan" is a money raising front for Khalistani terrorists operating in the Punjab, much as some Islamic "charities" funnel money to terrorist groups. It also tries to drum up political support for its "cause" in DC, and spreads false propaganda about India continually. Aulakh is just a total fool and useful idiot for terrorists. His CoK seeks support in DC to have India declared a terrorist state. The ultimate goal is the dismantling of India.

In one instance in Punjab alone, Indian security forces recovered 28 rocket launchers, 229 rockets and missiles, 276 AK 47 rifles, 83 rifles, 184 double-barelled guns, 469 pistols, 166 revolvers, 300 hand-grenades, 103 bombs, 55 detonators, 100 kgs of explosive materials, and 67,331 cartridges -- all of Pakistani origin. The Akali Dal knows what's up, but TBP has very unkind things to say about these "other" Sikhs.

I never paid much attention to India or Pakistan before 9-11 and all this is very interesting. You seem to be a vocal advocate for the Sikhs, although I don't know much about them. I don't even know where Khalistan is within India's borders. But aren't Sikhs the ones who assassinated Gandhi?

I find it increasingly difficult to find any good guys anywhere in Pakistan or in India. Everybody seems intolerant and ready to take it out on somebody different. There are even Baptist guerrillas in northeast India, for pete's sake.

Obviously, it's the extremists in every movement or political party who get the headlines, and they don't really define the average person on the street who just wants to make a living somehow. But it's difficult, at least for me, to point at one group and say, "Aha! Those are the good guys!"
