Why Sikhs need Khalistan?
Why Sikhs should get Khalistan?
By: Khalistan Council, Brussels, Belgium
Before 1947
The Sikhs have protected Hindus for centuries. In return, we were betrayed each time. The 9th Guru of the Sikhs, Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji saved the Hindus. Aurengzeb was an orthodox Muslim who dreamed of purging Hindustan of all ‘infidels’ and converting it into a land of Islam. He gave Hindus the choice of either convert to Islam or face an execution. He forcibly killed hundred thousands of Hindus. Finally 500 Pandits approached Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji for help. Guru Ji, for the betterment of the human kind, said them to tell Aurangzeb that if Guru Tegh Bahdur converted, then all Hindus would convert. Hearing this Aurangzeb summoned Guru Tegh Bahadur to Delhi. Guru Ji traveled to Delhi along with 4 companions (also Sikhs). After Guru Ji refused to convert to Islam or perform a miracle (It is against Sikh religion), Guru Tegh Bahadur was subjected to many cruelties; he was kept in an iron cage and starved for many days. The Guru was made to watch as Bhai Mati Das the devoted Sikh was tied between two pillars and his body split in two by being sawn alive. Bhai Dyala was boiled alive in a cauldron of boiling water and Bhat Sati Das was wrapped in cotton wool and set on fire. The Guru bore these cruelties without flinching or showing any anger or distress. Finally on November 11, 1675 Guru Tegh Bahadur was publicly beheaded with the sword of the executioner as he prayed.
And what we got back, Gangu Dhar Kaul, the Brahmin cook of Gurus, betrayed Mata Gujri (wife of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji) and her 2 little grand-children, and got them imprisoned.
The reason for the fall of the Sikh Kingdom, were the Hindu Dogras, who betrayed the Sikh Kingdom.
The first war of freedom for Hindustan was fought by Sikhs in 1845, as the Anglo-Sikh war. It was 2 years before the so-called Armed Uprising in 1857, which is just a bunch of made-up lies.
During the Indian Independence Struggle; Out of 2,175 Martyrs 1,557, (75 percent), were Sikhs, out of 2,646 Indians sent to Andamans for life imprisonment 2,147,(80 percent), were Sikhs, out of 127 Indians who were hanged 92, (80 percent), were Sikhs, out of 20,000 who joined the INA under Bose 12000, (60 percent), were Sikhs, 500 Babbar Akali Lehar martyrs were all Sikhs. ‘’’Instead of paying back these loans, Sikhs have been made slaves.’’’
After Partition
Despite all of this, we didn’t get even a separate State after Independence. When asked we were suppressed by Police. The police attacked Darbar Sahib, Amritsar in 1955 and Poanta Sahib in 1963. In 1955, there was no Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Bhindranwale in Darbar Sahib, yet why was fire opened and 1 person killed? In 1963, police opened fire at Poanta Sahib and killed 13 Nihang Sikhs randomly. These are just some examples. After a long struggle, we got a state (in 1966), which was further divided into 3 parts – Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, which was based on language spoken. Altough almost all Hindus in Haryana and Himachal spoke Punjabi, they gave their mother tongue as Hindi, which resulted in the partition of the already partitioned Punjab. In 1978, the Nirankari leader Gurbachan Sinh made insulting remarks against Sri Guru Granth Sahib and insulted the Sikhs. A few Sikhs came to know that Gurbachan was coming over to Amritsar. They peacefully were protesting when the Nirankaris attacked them. 13 innocents Sikhs were killed. All 65 persons charged, including Gurbachan were acquitted the same day. In the 80s and aftermath
In the early 80s, a charismatic Sikh leader arose, Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Bhindranwale. He was a preacher who preached about Sikhism in rural villages. He openly spoke about the atrocities committed by Indian Govt. on the Sikhs. This didn’t sit down well with Indira Gandhi. She wanted to completely destroy Sikhism. She ordered to invade the Golden Temple at Amritsar. If Operation Blue star was conducted to flush out the so-called “terrorists” in Amritsar, then why where 38 other Gurudwaras attacked all-over Punjab? In retaliation, two Sikh bodyguards of Indira Gandhi killed her. What followed was the murder of thousands of Sikhs in India. In Delhi alone 20,000 Sikhs were burned alive, raped, killed. Already 24 years have passed and not a single Congress leader who was responsible for all this is punished. Other anti-Sikh riots were in cities like Kanpur, Bokaro etc. And in what followed in Punjab was worse; CRPF and BSF were deployed. They randomnly abducted and killed 250,000 Sikhs. The last example is when President Clinton visited India in 2000, Hindu militants killed 38 Sikhs in Chattisinghpura and blamed the Hindu militants. MASR report quotes the Punjab Civil Magistracy as writing “if we add up the figures of the last few years the number of innocent persons killed would run into lakhs [hundreds of thousands.]” Many reports indicate that since 1947, more than a million Sikhs have been killed. MASR also reports that there are 52,268 Sikh Political Prisoners in India, some of them in jail since 1984.
The only way to prevent that our Identity, Religion, Culture and Language remain save are an Independent Country! Khalistan Zindabad!
