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

President Musharraf has been a good ally in the war on terrorism, at substantial risk to himself, both personally and politically. India has done nothing to help us, except pay lip service to the cause.

If war breaks out, it will be India's fault. Pakistan has said it will not start a war with India. I have yet to hear a similar pledge from the Indians -- not that I'd believe it if I did.

It is India that started the nuclear arms race in South Asia with its provocative tests, to which the Pakistanis responded. It is India that moved troops to the border, forcing Musharraf to redeploy some of the troops that had been working to help track down Al Qaeda and Taliban forces to the Indian border. This created a hole through which these terrorists could escape, which was what India wanted, IMO. That way, it could weaken American ties to Pakistan.

Last year, a member of the Indian cabinet said that Pakistan should be made part of "Akand Bharat" -- a Greater India. (Lebensraum, you know.)

Indian troops have a long record of dressing like Pakistanis, or Kashmiris, or Sikhs, or some other group and committing acts of violence to have the people they're pretending to be blamed for it, and it's shameful how often it works.

Last year, Indian troops were caught red-handed in a village in Kashmir trying to set fire to the Gurdwara (the Sikh temple) and some Sikh homes. Both Sikh and Muslim villagers descended upon them and prevented this atrocity.

Two independent studies have shown that the March 2000 massacre of 35 Sikhs in Chithisinghpora, which coincided with a visit by former President Clinton, was carried out by Indian forces. One study was done by the International Human Rights Organization, based in Ludhiana, Punjab, and the other was a joint effort of the Punjab Human Rights Organization and the Movement Against State Repression.

Further, the book Soft Target by Canadian journalists Brian McAndrew of the Toronto Star and Zuhair Kashmeri of the Toronto Globe and Mail shows that India blew up its own airliner in 1985 just to blame Sikh activists and create a backlash against them.

The Hindu, a pro-government newspaper, reported that in the recent violence in Gujarat in which over 5,000 people appear to have died, the government ordered the police to stand aside and do nothing, just as they did in November 1984 in the Delhi massascres. Published reports in India have shown that the government planned the Gujarat massacre.

The Kashmiri freedom movement is sui generis. It is indigenous. It is one of 17 movements within India's artificial borders fighting for its independence. Why do you suppose there are so many?

India promised in 1948 to hold a free and fair plebiscite in Kashmir on its political status. It has never been held. India refuses to hold a free and fair vote on independence in predominantly Christian Nagaland, in Punjab, Khalistan, or anywehere else where independence is an issue. India claims that the freedom movements there have no support. Then why doesn't "the world's largest democracy" simply hold a monitored, free and fair, democratic vote and prove it?

BTW, Tony Blankley reported in the Washington Times on January 2 that India is sponsoring cross-border terrorsim in Sindh.

Journalist Tavleen Singh, writing in India's leading newsmagazine, India Today, reported that the Indian government itself created the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), which the U.S. State Department has identified as a "terrorist organization," and put up the leaders of the LTTE in the fanciest hotel in Delhi. Journalist and FReeper Justin Raimondo has reported that India's Defense Minister, George Fernandes, raised money and arms for the LTTE.

India, OTOH, is automatically the good guy because of its long record of anti-Americanism. It votes against the US at the UN more often than any country except Cuba. It voted to throw us off the Human Rights Commission, then voted with the other tyrannies to deny a motion to investigate China's human-rights record. (Interestingly, India has not let Amnesty International into the country since 1978. Even Castro has let Amnesty into Cuba more recently!)

India has made military deals to sell heavy water to Iran, according to the Washington Times. It had a 100-year friendship treaty with the Soviets. It supported the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan but has done nothing but pay lip service to our activities there. And according to the May 18, 1999 issue of the Indian Express, Mr. Fernandes organized and led a meeting with the Ambassadors from Red China, Cuba, Russia, Libya, Iraq, and Serbia ("Yugoslavia") to discuss setting up a security alliance "to stop the U.S."

India has sponsored and promoted terrorism against Paksitan, in Pakistan, in Kashmir, and against the minorities within its own borders.

The Indian newspaper Hitavada reported in November 1994 that the Indian government paid the late governor of Punjab, Surendra Nath, the equivalent of $1.5 billuion to foment and support terrorist activity in Kashmir and in Punjab, Khalistan. 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. One such bounty was paid to a police officer who murdered a three-year-old boy! Vajpayee, Advani, and the rest of the militant Hindu nationalist thugs who are running the Indian government can't be trusted. I don't think we should be doing business with them.

Apparently, you cannot tell the difference between Muslims and Sikhs. And BTW, I am not a member of either group.

The Council of Khalistan is financed only by voluntary contributions from Sikhs and occasional Americans who choose to contribute. It receives no funding from Pakistan or any Muslim group, as you know well. Its financial records are made publicaly available.

And it is completely unfair of you to call CIK "a blood thirsty propagandistic terrorist scum sucking organization." 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. How can you even thionk of labelling that a "terrorist scum sucking organization"?

Where were there any such pictures? You won't answer because there wern't any. There were Muslims who did that, and they are a minority of Muslims, but a very active minority. If you can't tell Muslims from Sikhs, then why should we consider anything you say valid?

It's a common problem. We have one Sikh who works at our office, and he wears the traditional turban. Since 9/11 we've beat him up several times, just be safe.

After the rest of the Indina subcontinent. Punjab was the last place to be conquered by the British. And prior to the British colonial occupation, there was no such political entity as India, while there was an independent Punjab.
