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 governments 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 Indias 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. Lets 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 governments 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
After they killed her, they laid down their arms and turned themselves in.
As for where Khalistan is, it's centered around Punjab, in the northwest, just south of Kashmir and on the border with Pakistan. Khalistan would be an excellent buffer between India and Pakistan.
keri, it seems that for you, as for the Indian government the term "Khalistani terrorist" is a redundancy. You seem to think that anyone who advocates Khalistan by peaceful means is a "terrorist." As I hvae said previously, keri's working definition of "terrorist" is "someone who disagrees with keri."
It also tries to drum up political support for its "cause" in DC, and spreads false propaganda about India continually.
If you would bother to look beyond your little narrow prism, you would notice that all of the Council's information is well sourced. Usually the source is either the American or Indian media. Teh source for 250,000 Sikhs murdered is the Punjab State Magistracy, reported in The Politics of Genocide.
Nothing wrong with trying to line up political support, is there? India spends large sums of money on the same thing, using two expensive lobbying firms (at a combined cost, from what I have heard, of $1 million per year) while the Council of Khalistan is a small office that has to rely on individuals, mostly Sikhs, for support.
His CoK seeks support in DC to have India declared a terrorist state.
Because it practices cross-border terrorism adn domestic terrorism. Its record is clear. It has just been added to the U.S. watch list of countries that violate religious freedom. That is the first step.
The ultimate goal is the dismantling of India.
The breakup of India is inevitable. Multinational states like Austria-Hungary, the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia, to name a few, are doomed to fall apart. India is one of those. It has 18 official languages and 17 freedom movements within its artificial borders. Many experts think that neither India nor Pakistan will exist in their present form in 10 years. Even Advani has said that when Kashmir goes, India will fall apart.
I can see the Indian fear, though. It seems as if there are separatists in every region (not sure about that) and if every region got their "freedom," there wouldn't be much of India left.
Which would, of course, be followed by much dancing in Pakistan...
My guess is that India is doing something wrong if there are so many serious separatist movements within the country. Part of it, no doubt, is the fact that it's the result of British colonial rule over a bunch of formerly autonomous regions and the modern state of India is relatively young.
We see the same thing in Pakistan which isn't really completely unified today, either.
But India's democracy developed much more fully than what we've seen in Pakistan, and it seemed to be well on its way to becoming a First World country. Apparently, more autonomy needs to be given to these troublesome regions, or the benefits of remaining united with India would be obvious. Pure speculation on my part, though.
The facts are there to be found for those who don't know but want to know the truth, so go on and spread your vile crap from the CoK. It won't matter a whit to India or change its destiny a bit. It certainly won't change the truth.
"vile crap."
This si what happens when I try to make a logical, intelligent argument. It is unbecoming, keri. I understand that having these things pointed out makes you uncomfortable, but name-calling is the tactic of one who has no argument. Instead of trying to refute my argument, you try to shout me down and shut me up. I guess that is wht Indians call democracy.
Name calling is fine with me, if the shoe fits wear it. My last name for you is ignorant.Good-bye and good riddance.
Because you have no other argument.
You post lies.
I have asked you over and over again to prove it. You have not, because you can't. It's impossible to have a rational argument with you if you insist on just asserting that anyone who disagrees with you is a liar and a terrorist. But that is your position.
