Harbans Lal Khanna

The Hindu yobs under the command of Harbans Lal Khanna did many protests against the Sikhs in Amritsar, in which the Hindu racist yobs would attack Sikhs and their businesses as well as Sikh gurudwaras. Under the command of Harbans Lal Khanna, his yobs destroyed the golden statue of Sri Darbar Sahib at Amritsar railway station and they also got the photo of Guru Ram Das Ji and burnt it with cigarettes.

The slogans Harbans Lal Khanna used against the Sikhs were:
"Duki Tiki Rehen Nahi Deni
Siir Te Pagri Rehen Nahi Deni!
Kangha, Kara, Kachera, Kirpan
Ehnu Pejo Pakistan!"

The Indian law never charged Harbans Lal Khanna for his racist slogans. On 1st April 1984 from the second floor of Guru Ram Das Langar Hall, Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Bhindranwale spoke out against the attacks on Sikhs by the groups of Harbans Lal Khanna. The message Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Bhindranwale sent to Harbans Lal Khanna and the Sikh nation was:

"In Haryana 24 saroops of Guru Granth Sahib Ji were burnt. Six gurudwaras were also burnt. Twelve trucks and two cars of the Sikhs were burnt. Hundred and 25 singhs hair were forcefully cut and sent to me. Three Sikh girls were made to stand naked on the main road for 2 hours. For seven days this kept on happening. They have insulted our Sikh girls. The girls are crying, no one was saving them on the main road. Till the culprits are not punished, I will not rest. Also this message has been sent to Bhajan Lal, that he can live in the middle of the ocean but I will definitely meet him at whatever cost".

Now Bhai Sahib and Bhai Labh Singh Panjwar got ready with their motorcycle to punish Harbans Lal Khanna. MLA of Bharti Jayanta Party (BJP) Harbans Lal Khanna was sitting at his shop in Amritsar on 2nd April 1984 along with his gunmen. The singhs also reached the shop. Bhai Sahib remained on the motorcycle and Bhai Labh Singh got off the motorcycle and quickly entered the shop. Bhai Sahib and Bhai Labh Singh were dressed in police uniforms and Bhai Sahib was waiting on the running motorcycle. The gunmen of Harbans Lal Khanna thought Bhai Sahib was a real police officer. Bhai Labh Singh fired his Stengun and killed the bodyguards, soon as Harbans Lal Khanna saw this he shouted, "Terrorists, terrorist". Bhai Labh Singh put the Stengun to Harbans Lal Khanna's chest and said, "Dhoti (Hindu trousers), topi (cap) Jamuna par. Khalistan Zindabaad". After saying this Bhai Labh Singh coloured the white sofa in the shop red with the blood of Harbans Lal Khanna. Before leaving the scene the singhs grabbed the weapons of the dead bodyguards and also burnt their jeep which was outside the shop. The singhs then shouted war cries of Bole So Nihal Sat Sri Akaal and fired bullets from their Stengun as they fled the scene.

This happened on 2nd April 1984. Also keep this in mind, Harbans Lal Khanna was responsible for the killings of 11 Sikhs, on 14th February 1984. Harbans Lal Khanna also had ordered the beadbi of Sri Darbar Sahib's model and of Guru Ram Das Ji at the railway station of Amritsar.

Before killing Harbans Lal Khanna, Bhai Sahib and Bhai Labh Singh contacted Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Bhindranwale via wireless and made a request to Sant Ji, "We can kill the enemy (Harbans Lal Khanna) but we can't cut his head and bring it to you. If you wish we can kill the enemy and attain shaheedi". Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Bhindranwale replied, "Babbu (Bhai Sahib's nickname), we want you and Labh Singh alive, you shouldn't even think about shaheedi. The Khalsa panth need singhs like you. Make sure you come back". Listening to the orders of Sant Ji, both singhs returned to Sant Ji after punishing Harbans Lal Khanna.

Excerpts from this web site write up.

Why Nathuram Godse was compelled to kill Gandhi

Reasons for killing Mahatma Gandhi: 

During the trial justice Khosla had allowed Nathuram Godse the killer of Gandhi to read his own confession in the court.

 

 

 

 

 

However the Indian government had banned the confession of Nathuram.

 

 

Nathuram's brother Gopal Godse fought a 60 years legal battle after which the Supreme Court removed the ban. The speech is after the 12 (of the more than 150 reasons to kill Gandhi)

 

 

 

Gopal Godse

 

 

Nathuram had given 150 reasons for killing Gandhi; 

few of which are as follows:

 

1. In 1919 people of India wanted General Dyer to be tried for the Massacre of innocent people at Jalianwalla Baugh .Gandhi refused to support this demand.

 

 2. Entire India wanted Gandhi to intervene and save Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev from the Gallows. Gandhi stubbornly refused on the grounds that they were misguided freedom fighters, and theirs was an act of  violence.    

 

3. On 6th May 1946 on public platform, Gandhi asked Hindus to sacrifice and not fight the members of Muslim league. In Kerala Muslim league members killed over 1500 Hindus and converted2000  to Islam. Instead of protesting Gandhi expressed that it was a brave act of Allah's followers. 

 

4. On several occasions Gandhi called Shivaji, Maharana Pratapand Guru Govind Singh as misguided nationalists. 

 

5. Gandhi advised Raja Hari Singh of Kashmir to abdicate as Kashmir had Muslim majority ,and settle down in Kashi.  Raja Harisingh  on the other hand he supported the Nizam (Osman Ali Khan )of Hyderabad to join Pakistan , even though the state of Hyderabad(Andhra , Telangana , Karnataka and Berar) had Hindu majority. 

 

Nizam Osman Ali Khan  Sardar Patel however overruled Gandhi .When Nehru heard of Patel's police action in Hyderabad(operation POLO) he disconnected his telephone with Patel.  Nizam surrendering to Patel  

 

6. In 1931 the congress committee on designing of Indian flag suggested that the flag be only in saffron. Gandhi  insisted changed it to a tri-colour flag. 

 

7. During the Tripura congress , Subhash Chandra Bose was elected as president with majority however Gandhi supported Pattabhai Sitaramayya forcing Bose to resign. 

 

8. On 15th June 1947 during congress conclave it was decided to resist the partition of India but Gandhi went to the meeting at the last minute and supported the partition. In-fact it was Gandhi who had declared earlier that partition will take place only over my dead body.   Patel and Nehru  

 

9. Sardar Patel was elected by majority as thefirst Prime Minister but Gandhi insisted on Nehru . 

 

10. Nehru government had decided to reconstruct Somnath Mandirat its cost but Gandhi without even being a member of the ministry forced the Govt. to reject this proposal .  At the same time on 13th January 1948 he went on a fast to allow Muslims to repair the mosque in Delhi at govt's cost. 

 

11. When Hindus refugees returned to India after partition, some of them took shelter  in some mosques temporarily .When Muslims objected ,Gandhi forced all such Hindus children, ladies and the old to leave the mosque and live on the streets. 

 

12. In October 1947 Pakistan attacked Kashmir ,Gandhi went on a fast and forced the Indian Govt to pay Pakistan a compensation of Rs.55 crore. Gandhi did not mind hurting Hindu feelings to win over the Indian Muslims.  

Nathuram Godse and Narayan Apte were hanged on 15th November 1949 in the Ambala Jail in Punjab.

 

1. I'm sure most of us have read Nathuram's longish last speech giving his reasons for killing Gandhi. Erudite and powerful. 

2. Such was the power and eloquence of this statement that one of the judges, G. D. Khosla, later wrote, “I have, however, no doubt that had the audience of that day been constituted into a jury and entrusted with the task of deciding Godse’s appeal, they would have brought a verdict of ‘not Guilty’ by an overwhelming majority”

3. Worth a repeat.

 

Nathuram Godse - His Last Speech

"May it please Your Honour"

Nathuram Godse

[On 8 November 1948, Nathuram Godse (19 May 1910-15 November 1949) rose to make his statement in court. Reading quietly from a typed manuscript, he sought to explain why he had killed Gandhi. His thesis covered ninety-pages, and he was on his feet for five hours. Godse's statement, excerpted below, should be read by citizens and scholars in its entirely, for it provides an insight into his personality and his understanding of the concept of Indian nationhood]

 

"Born in a devotional Brahmin family, I instinctively came to revere Hindu religion, Hindu history and Hindu culture. I had, therefore, been intensely proud of Hinduism as a whole. As I grew up I developed a tendency to free thinking unfettered by any superstitious allegiance to any isms, political or religious. That is why I worked actively for the eradication of untouchability and the caste system based on birth alone. I openly joined anti-caste movements and maintained that all Hindus are of equal status as to rights, social and religious, and should be considered high or low on merit alone and not through the accident of birth in a particular caste or profession.

 

I used publicly to take part in organized anti-caste dinners which thousands of Hindus, Brahmins, Vaishyas, Kshatriyas, Chamars and B-----s participated. We broke the caste rules and dined in the company of each other. I have read the speeches and writings of Dadabhai Naoroji, Vivekanand, Gokhale, Tilak, along with the books of ancient and modern history of India and some prominent countries like England, France, America and Russia. Moreover I studied the tenets of socialism and Marxism. But above all I studied very closely what Veer (brave) Savarkar and Gandhiji had written and spoken, as to my mind these two ideologies have contributed more to the moulding of the thought and action of the Indian people during the last thirty years or so, than any other factor has done.

 

All this thinking and reading led me to believe that it was my first duty to serve Hindudom and Hindus both as a patriot and as a world citizen. To secure the freedom and to safeguard the just interests of some thirty crores (three hundred million) of Hindus would automatically constitute the freedom and well-being of all India, one fifth of the human race. This conviction led me naturally to devote myself to the Hindu Sanatanist ideology and programme, which alone, I came to believe, could win and preserve the National Independence of Hindustan, my Motherland, and enable her to render true service to humanity as well. Since the year 1920, that is, after the demise of Lokmanya Tilak, Gandhi's influence in the Congress first increased and then became supreme.

 

His activities for public awakening were phenomenal in their intensity and were reinforced by the slogan of truth and non-violence, which he paraded ostentatiously before the country. No sensible or enlightened person could object to these slogans. In fact there is nothing new or original in them. They are implicit in every constitutional public movement. But it is nothing but a dream if you imagine the bulk of mankind is, or can ever become, capable of scrupulous adherence to these lofty principles in its normal life from day to day. In fact, honour, duty and love of one's own kith and kin and country might often compel us to disregard non-violence and to use force. I could never conceive that an armed resistance to an aggression is unjust.

 

I would consider it a religious and moral duty to resist and if possible, to overpower such an enemy by use of force. (In the Ramayana) Rama killed Ravana in a tumultuous fight and relieved Sita. (In the Mahabharata) Krishna killed Kansa to end his wickedness; and Arjuna had to fight and slay quite a number of his friends and relations, including the revered Bhishma, because the latter was on the side of the aggressor. It is my firm belief that in dubbing Rama, Krishna and Arjuna as guilty of violence, the Mahatma betrayed the total ignorance of the springs of human action. In more recent history, it was the heroic fight put up by Chhatrapati Shivaji that first checked and eventually destroyed the Muslim tyranny in India. It was absolutely essential for Shivaji to overpower and kill an aggressive Afzal Khan, failing which he would have lost his own life. In condemning history's towering warriors like Shivaji, Rana Pratap and Guru Govind Singh as misguided patriots, Gandhi has merely exposed his self-conceit.

 

He was, paradoxical, as it may appear, a violent pacifist who brought untold calamities on the country in the name of truth and non-violence, while Rana Pratap, Shivaji and the Guru will remain enshrined in the hearts of their countrymen forever for the freedom they brought to them. The accumulating provocation of thirty-two years, culminating in his last pro-Muslim fast, at last goaded me to the conclusion that the existence of Gandhi should be brought to an end immediately. Gandhi had done very good work in South Africa to uphold the rights and well being of the Indian community there.

 

But when he finally returned to India, he developed a subjective mentality under which he alone was to be the final judge of what was right or wrong. If the country wanted his leadership, it had to accept his infallibility; if it did not, he would stand aloof from the Congress and carry on in his own way. Against such an attitude there can be no halfway house. Either Congress had to surrender its will to his and had to be content with playing second fiddle to all his eccentricity, whimsicality, metaphysics and primitive vision, or it had to carry on without him. He alone was the judge of everyone and everything; he was the master brain guiding the Civil Disobedience movement; no other could know the technique of that movement. He alone knew when to begin it and when to withdraw it. The movement might succeed or fail, but that could make no difference to the Mahatma's infallibility. 'A Satyagrahi can never fail' was his formula for his own infallibility and nobody except himself knew what a Satyagrahi is.

 

Thus the Mahatma became the judge and the jury in his own case. These childish insanities and obstinacies, coupled with a most severe austerity of life, ceaseless work and lofty character made Gandhi formidable and irresistible. Many people thought that his policies were irrational, but they had either to withdraw from the Congress or place their intelligence at his feet to do with as he liked. In a position of such absolute irresponsibility, Gandhi was guilty of blunder after blunder, failure after failure, and disaster after disaster. Gandhi's pro-Muslim policy is blatantly illustrated in his perverse attitude on the question of the national language of India. It is quite obvious that Hindi has the most prior claim to be accepted as the premier language.

In the beginning of his career in India, Gandhi gave a great impetus to Hindi, but as he found that the Muslims did not like it, he became a champion of what is called Hindustani. Everybody in India knows that there is no language in India called Hindustani; it has no grammar; it has no vocabulary. It is a mere dialect; it is spoken, not written. It is a tongue and a crossbreed between Hindi and Urdu, and not even the Mahatma's sophistry could make it popular. But in his desire to please the Muslims he insisted that Hindustani alone should be the national language of India. His blind followers, of course, supported him and the so-called hybrid language began to be used. The charm and the purity of the Hindi language were to be prostituted to please the Muslims. All his experiments were at the expense of the Hindus.

 

From August 1946 onwards, the private armies of the Muslim League began a massacre of Hindus. The then Viceroy, Lord Wavell, though distressed at what was happening, would not use his powers under the Government of India Act of 1935 to prevent the rape, murder and arson. The Hindu blood began to flow from Bengal to Karachi with little retaliation by the Hindus. The Interim Government formed in September was sabotaged by its Muslim League members right from its inception, but the more they became disloyal and treasonable to the government of which they were a part, the greater was Gandhi's infatuation for them.

 

Lord Wavell had to resign as he could not bring about a settlement and was succeeded by Lord Mountbatten. King Stork followed King Log. The Congress, which had boasted of its nationalism and secularism, secretly accepted Pakistan literally at the point of the bayonet and abjectly surrendered to Jinnah. India was vivisected and one-third of the Indian Territory became foreign land to us from 15 August 1947. Lord Mountbatten came to be described in the Congress circles as the greatest Viceroy and Governor-General this country ever had.

 

 

The official date for the handing over of power was fixed for June 30, 1948, but Mountbatten with his ruthless surgery gave us a gift of vivisected India ten months in advance. This is what Gandhi had achieved after thirty years of undisputed dictatorship and this is what the Congress party calls 'freedom' and 'peaceful transfer of power'. The Hindu-Muslim unity bubble was finally burst and a theocratic state was established with the consent of Nehru and his crowd and they have called it 'freedom won by them with sacrifice' - whose sacrifice? When top leaders of Congress, with the consent of Gandhi, divided and tore the country - which we considered a deity of worship - my mind was filled with direful anger.

 

One of the conditions imposed by Gandhi for his breaking of the fast related to the mosques in Delhi occupied by the Hindu refugees. But when Hindus in Pakistan were subjected to violent attacks he did not so much as utter a single word to protest and censure the Pakistan Government or the Muslims concerned. Gandhi was shrewd enough to know that while undertaking a fast unto death, had he imposed some conditions on the Muslims in Pakistan, here would have been found hardly any Muslims who could have shown some grief if the fast had ended in his death. It was for this reason that he purposely avoided imposing any conditions on the Muslims.

He was fully aware from past experience that Jinnah was not at all perturbed or influenced by his fast and the Muslim League hardly attached any value to the inner voice of Gandhi. Gandhi is being referred to as the Father of the Nation. But if that is so, he has failed in his paternal duty inasmuch he has acted very treacherously to the nation by his consenting to the partitioning of it. I stoutly maintain that Gandhi has failed in his duty. He has proved to be the Father of Pakistan. His inner-voice, his spiritual power, his doctrine of non-violence of which so much is made of, all crumbled against Jinnah's iron will and proved to be powerless.

 

Briefly speaking, I thought to myself and foresaw that I shall be totally ruined, and the only thing I could expect from the people would be nothing but hatred and that I shall have lost all my honour, even more valuable than my life, if I were to kill Gandhiji. But at the same time I thought that the Indian politics in the absence of Gandhiji would surely be practical, able to retaliate and would be powerful with the armed forces. No doubt, my own future would be totally ruined, but the nation would be saved from the inroads of Pakistan. People may even call me or dub me as devoid of any sense or foolish, but the nation would be free to follow the course founded on the reason, which I consider necessary for sound nation-building.

 

After having fully considered the question, I took the final decision in the matter, but I did not speak about it to anyone whatsoever. I took courage in both my hands and I did fire the shots at Gandhiji on 30th January 1948, on the prayer-grounds in Birla House. I do say that my shots were fired at the person whose policy and action had brought rack and ruin and destruction to millions of Hindus. There was no legal machinery by which such an offender could be brought to book and for this reason I fired those fatal shots. I bear no ill will towards anyone individually, but I do say that I had no respect for the present government owing to their policy, which was unfairly favourable towards the Muslims. But at the same time I could clearly see that the policy was entirely due to the presence of Gandhi.

 

I have to say with great regret that Prime Minister Nehru quite forgets that his preaching and deeds are at times at variance with each other when he talks about India as a secular state in season and out of season, because it is significant to note that Nehru has played a leading role in the theocratic state of Pakistan, and his job was made easier by Gandhi's persistent policy of appeasement towards the Muslims. I now stand before the court to accept the full share of my responsibility for what I have done and the judge would, of course, pass against me such orders of sentence as may be considered proper. But I would like to add that I do not desire any mercy to be shown to me, nor do I wish that anyone should beg for mercy on my behalf.

 

My confidence about the moral side of my action has not been shaken even by the criticism levelled against it on all sides. I have no doubt that honest writers of history will weigh my act and find the true value thereof someday in future."

 

 Nathuram Godse was hanged a year later, on 15 November 1949; as per his last wishes, his family and followers have preserved his ashes for immersion in the Indus River of a re-united India

Punjabi Poem NANAK written by Jaswant Zafar

Nanak

Excuse us

It’s quite hard for us
to envisage the true image of Nanak
Legs messed up with the dust of the winding path

Cracked heals
Beard entangled by turbulent winds
Skin toughened in arid-cold seasons
Concave and skinny cheeks
Eyes popping from the facial bone structure
dazzling & renegade
Eyes, which refute-

the hierarchy
the monarchy
and clergy

The real Nanak can prove fatal to us
That Nanak, who we can’t even dream
He can
destruct our homely institutions
lead our children into the throws of non-conformism
Can create quests
to point our feet towards Kaaba
Consequently
we can be injured and amputated
We may be motivated for many more wrong deeds
For instance

We may perceive the irrelevance of religious symbolism
we may bring out a manifesto
to divert the flows
to challenge propriety

We are wary of this preposterous Nanak
All we want is

success
succor
solace

We desire luxurious graces
familial blessings
and promotion and progress
in terms of wealth

Nanak depicted by Sobha Singh’s school of portraits
is well suited for us
White Sun-Silky beard

Spherical shining cheeks
Fair and Lovely rosy Tipsy lips
Soft Gemini feet
Delicate Barbie hands
Arielly cleaned messianic robes

The walls of our homes can only hold
Nanak in the pictures of Sobha Singh’s style

The true picture of dangerous Nanak
who rejected the well-traversed paths
is too momentous for our walls

Excuse us
we can’t afford ruining of homes
those we created with labour of blood
We can’t afford losing kids
those we got with prayers

We can not envisage the real image of Nanak
Excuse us please

MASS GRAVE OF SIKHS KILLED IN NOVEMBER 1984 DISCOVERED IN JAMMU

AISSF-SFJ to File Writ Petition before Jammu and Kashmir High Court Against Government's Lack of Action on F.I.R Regarding Killing of Sikhs

A Mass Grave has been discovered in District Reasi, Jammu & Kashmir where 16 Sikhs were mercilessly murdered by crushing their heads on November 1, 1984. The victims were inside Gurudwara Singh Sabha Talwara colony when the attackers came for them on November 1, 1984, dragged them out and murdered them by crushing their heads with stones and rocks.

According to the 26 years old FIR and other official documents excavated by AISSF and SFJ, 16 Sikhs who were attacked and killed on November 1, 1984 in Talwara Colony, Reasi, Jammu & Kashmir were mostly employees working at nearby Salar Dam. On November 1, 1984, a group of attackers came to the Gurudwara Singh Sabha Talwara Colony where the victims had taken shelter. The attackers got hold of the victims and then tortured to death 16 of them by crushing and grinding their heads with rocks and stones.

AISSF & SFJ announced that they will file a writ petition before Jammu and Kashmir High Court against the Government's inaction against killing of 16 deaths. It is a matter of grave concern that "despite the evidence and filing of FIR, the killing and murder of 16 Sikhs in Reasi Jammu was not even investigated let alone prosecuted", stated attorney Gurpatwant Singh Pannun Legal Advisor to Sikhs For Justice

According to Karnail Singh Peermohammad President AISSF, not only the killing of Sikhs in Reasi was brutal and ruthless but the continuous denial of justice is also equally ruthless. Just like the case of Hondh-Chillar Mass Grave, AISSF and SFJ will also take action in the case of Reasi killing by approaching the High Court and by seeking justice for the Sikh victims, added Peermohammad.

AISSF and SFJ released the copies of F.I.R filed 26 years ago and the copies of other documents along with the list of the 16 Sikhs who were killed on November 1984 at Reasi, Jammu & Kashmir.

Yet not a single person has been brought to justice. Why??! They are the government and the police themselves. Even some rotten Sikhs themself are not pursing this becuase they are given seats in politics.

Miraculous sign at Sikh temple

KUALA LUMPUR: The appearance of a Khanda image, Sikhism's holy symbol, at Gurdwara Sahib Serdang Lama has set the Sikh community abuzz with excitement. The image was seen forming on the rumala, a yellow cloth covering Sikhism's holy book, the Guru Granth Sahib.


Temple priest Guridtta Singh, an Indian national who has been here for 11/2 years, said this was the first time he had seen such a phenomenon. He said he never heard of such incidents in India or any where else in the world. Guru Gobind Singh Ji was the 10th and last human Sikh Guru who completed writing the Sikh holy book, the Dasam Granth.


He also declared the Guru Granth Sahib as the next permanent Sikh Guru. The incident unfolded on the last day of the three-day prayer recitation in celebration of Vaisakhi, the start of the Sikh new year and the birth of the Khalsa Brotherhood founded by Guru Gobind Singh.


Private tutor Jasvinder Kaur, 38, said she went to the gurdwara on Thursday with a garland of flowers but could not enter the temple as she was not properly dressed. She handed the garland to a devotee named Manjit Kaur to place it above the rumala. The rumala was presented by another devotee, Kawalpreet Kaur, 57, who had used it for her son's wedding in February.


Legal secretary Jasvinder Kaur, 45, said after the garland was placed, drops of water fell onto the rumala and formed a patch resembling the Khanda. "From about 8.30pm, there was lightning and thunder as devotees were reciting prayers.


As we completed our prayers, I looked up after bowing to Guru Granth Sahib and I saw with amazement the Khanda forming on the rumala." There was also a smaller image of the Khanda on the lower left side of the cloth.


Another unusual incident was the appearance of a black bird at the temple early the next morning (Friday), which flew onto the palki, a cabinet where the Guru Granth Sahib was kept. The bird then bowed to the holy book and flew to the dining hall for a sip of water before flying off.



The women explained that they believed the bird was a messenger of Guru Gobind Singh as he always had a bird on his right arm. To honour this occurrence, the temple conducted a 12-hour prayer session from 7am yesterday.So far, some 300 devotees had flocked to the 97-year-old temple and more were expected to come as word gets around

Remembrance: The Sikh Story (Video footage of Sikhs in WWI and WWII)

From the BBC website:

"Documentary examining why followers of the Sikh religion were marked out as a 'martial race' under the British Empire, and how thousands of Sikh soldiers valiantly laid down their lives for Britain's freedom across two world wars.

With contributions from eminent historians, military experts and war veterans, the film features the last-ever interview with legendary WW2 Squadron Leader Mahinder Singh Pujji, and the first television broadcast of a rare audio recording of a WW1 Sikh prisoner of war, handed to Britain in 2010 after 94 years in German hands."

Sikhs for Justice: President and First Lady Ignore Outcries of Sikh Widows in India - CNBC:

Yet, Obama spoke about the Burmese government's human right issues, especially with the recent flawed polls, but he failed to mention about India.

For the common people, Obama was just another tourist.

Commercial Granthi Sahib vs Suchet Granthi Sahib

Many of us have experienced this in our lives : when we have a strong desire for something, we go to Gurdwara Sahib and ask the Granthi Sahib to do Ardaas for us, so that our wishes are fulfilled. Below are two situations, which may occur :

COMMERCIAL GRANTHI SAHIB :We go to them and ask them to pray for our good business, health, wealth, son, grandson, and a lot of other things. They would give us a world of assurances like "Pichle dinna vich asi unha di ardaas kiti, onha di icha puri ho gayi" or "Tusi chinta na karo ji, asi roz Amrit Vele twadi ardaas karange, twade Shubh manorath poore hovenge" And we very happyily come back home, that we have done our job.


SUCHET GRANTHI SAHIB :
We go to them and ask them to pray for a whole lot of wordly desires. They would think for a while and say something like this : "Pehli gal, Parmatma de darbaar vich akhri gyan ya koi padvi(post) nahi chaldi. Us darbaar vich ta sirf prem di boli chaldi hai. Te mein samajhda ha, ki tusi apni gal zyada prem naal Parmatma tak pahucha sakde ho. Duji gal, mere kuch udham karan naal twanu kuch prapat ho jaye, eh menu samajh nahi payi. Tusi aap Bani padho, Simran karo, Sewa karo, Guru ang sangh sahai hovenge"OR something like this :
"Daas Guru Charana vich Ardaas te kar de, par kuch der lag sagdi hai" We ask annoyingly "Aida Kyun?". He would reply with a smile on his face "Darasal Daas twadi mushkil da root cause samajh gaya hai! Agar Daas sirf twadi padartha layi hi ardaas kar de, te ho sakda hai Guru Sahib twadi icha poori kar vi den, par ki guarantee hai ki os daat naal vi twanu shanti mil jayegi. Estoh behtar hai ki eh Ardaas kariye, ki Guru Sahib twanu Naam daan bakshan, twade ander Santokh aa jave. Te us Santokh de sadke, twadi Parmatma de naal enha Prem bane, ki Akaal Purakh twade bina mange hi twadi choli bhar den. Phir tusi anek padarath bhogde hoye vi tikav vich rahoge ji!"

Text of H. S. Phoolka's Letter to Akal Takht.

Singh Sahab Giani Gurbachan Singh Ji 20.7.2010

Jathedar Sh. Akal Takht Sahib
And the Respected Jathedars of other Takhts

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki fateh.

Since November 1984, with the blessings of the Guru, I have been vehemently pursuing the cases relating to the Sikh Genocide. I have been pursuing these cases since the past 26 years and during this period I have not charged any fee for the cases or taken any kind of a donation. In 1985, I was paid a meager amount of Rs. 15,000/- by DSGMC and after that since 1986 till today, I have neither received any money from the Gurdwara Committee, nor from any other organization for these cases.

It is very unfortunate that certain Sikh leaders of Delhi, under a deep rooted conspiracy to shield the guilty Congress leaders have started a campaign to malign me. They are alleging that I have been paid crores of rupees and I am not following these cases in the interest of the community, but solely for my own personal benefit.

Now, when these cases have reached their peak and Sajjan Kumar is badly caught and strong proofs are emerging against Kamal Nath, at this delicate moment, they have intensified their campaign to malign me so that the support I get from the media and the legal circle is adversely affected. The conspiracy is to involve me in defending myself against this malicious propaganda and hence distract me from these cases.

I have always given more importance to the cases of 1984 Genocide over all my other cases. When Sajjan Kumar’s cases have reached their peak, I have been devoting all my time only to these cases. The conspiracy is to distract my attention at such a critical juncture. Like other Senior Advocates, I could have also made a lot of money by devoting all my time to my commercial practice. But instead of making money, I preferred to take up this social cause as my moral obligation. Not only did I put my practice at stake, but also my life by facing the perpetrators of the Genocide head on, all by myself.

I have never accepted any security for my protection. Justice Ranganath Misra had ordered the Police to provide me with security, but I refused to accept the offer. I was of the view that if I keep gunmen around me for my protection, it would demoralize the victims. With what face would I ask widows of victims to not get scared and to testify fearlessly. My strength was that I would stand alone, without any outside support. That is why since 1985 I would go everywhere to courts and relief camps, all by myself on my motorcycle. This is what boosted the morale of the victims and demoralized the other side. Following my example, many young boys and girls and retired army officials started visiting relief camps by themselves. They even started visiting areas of Bhagat and Sajjan Kumar. I was happy that my decision to not accept security proved to be correct.

In 2004, during my debate with Jagdish Tytler on NDTV, when he threatened to kill me, I was offered VIP security by a senior officer who told me that the President of SGPC and the Chief Minister of Punjab have written a letter to the PM, Dr. Manmohan Singh stating that I be given security and hence PMO issued orders for my security. I again refused to accept any security. This was again a delicate moment when the cases were about to reopen and the Nanavati Commission report was due for submission. The officer while leaving said that he salutes me and that even though I have refused security, he would on his account carry out full investigation as to who and from which quarter do I face danger. Thereafter, I kept receiving calls from the Home Ministry enquiring if I have changed my decision but I told them that my decision was final. I write to you today to impress upon your goodself that not only have I not been concerned about money but I have also endangered my life time and again for the cause.

Despite my having done so much, all of a sudden certain Sikh leaders are making false and malicious allegations against me. Is this justice? Having fought for justice for the victims of the 1984 Genocide for the past so many years, today I appeal to you for justice for me.

This scheme of making allegations of personal benefit emanated after my debate with Tytler on NDTV in 2004. Tytler alleged that I have taken enormous sums of money for these cases and it is only for making money that I have conspired against him. He further stated that the whole Sikh community is with him, it is only Phoolka who is against him.

When after this interview, journalists approached Tytler for material and proof substantiating his allegations, he could produce nothing. I have filed a case of defamation against Tytler in Ludhiana. This had become a thorn in his paw. He was desperately seeking for help to substantiate his claims. It was at that time that the then President of DSGMC, Prahlad Singh Chandoke came to his rescue. Chandoke started claiming that I had taken Rs. 50 Lakh from the DSGMC for these cases, though this was completely false and I had never accepted a single penny for these cases. But because he was the President of DSGMC, some people believed him. I have narrated this whole episode in detail in my book, “When a Tree Shook Delhi†.

A while later when Tytler’s case again came into the limelight, another Sikh leader, DSGMC’s ex president, Avtar Singh Hit started making similar allegations against me.

Now when the noose has tightened around Sajjan Kumar’s neck, the present president Paramjit Singh Sarna and his brother Harvinder Singh Sarna have taken it upon themselves to make these false allegations against me. They have continuously started alleging that I have taken Rs. 1 crore 9 lakh from the Gurdwara Committee. On 17th July 2010, Saturday I met both brothers in an office of the DSGMC. When I demanded from them proof of making such baseless allegations against me, Harvinder S. Sarna profusely insulted me. He shouted, making rude comments against me and used very offensive language and threatened me. He also said, and I quote, “Yes I have said it. Do whatever you can. I will expose your bad deeds before the whole Sangat.†His language was so offensive that had I not walked out of there, in a few moments he would have started hurling abuses at me. What has upset me all the more is that his episode happened in the presence of a Senior Advocate, KTS Tulsi.

I write to you today with a plea that your goodself may ask for an explanation from any leader who claims to have proof against my integrity and ask for any of such material to be placed before you. I will answer.

It appears that the conspiracy is to divert my attention from Sajjan Kumar’s case and other 84 cases and I spend all my time and attention in defending myself against these allegations. At this crucial juncture, even the slightest oversight in the cases could have disastrous consequences. I am conscious of the fact that my decision would have an adverse impact on the cases, but my hands are tied. Since the past 4 days I have been in such mental turmoil and pressure that I have not been able to concentrate on the cases at all. If this state of affairs continues, the cases may have an adverse impact and hence I write to you with an appeal that in these circumstances it is not possible for me to continue with the cases. An alternative arrangement be made and a decision be rendered at the earliest so that the community’s interest does not suffer.

I am even more upset with these allegations as I usto respect Paramjit Singh Sarna. My association with him started in 1995 when he played a positive role in HKL Bhagat’s case. My disagreement with Sarna started in 2008 on the issue of the 1984 cases only. When the key witness in Tytler’s case, Giaani Surinder Singh retracted his statement in court, he was given a plum posting of the Head Granthi in Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib. Later in 2008, he gave a true statement against Tytler to the CBI and said that his life was in danger. He went to America because of this danger and made an application for leave for a year to Sarna. Sarna refused to accept his application, despite much persuasion. In the end, Giani Surinder Singh had to return in January 2009 so as to save his job. When he came back, Sarna made it a point that he was not deputed in any Gurdwara and was forced to stay home. Many people attempted to persuade Sarna to not do this, but he paid no heed. Finally, he was deputed to Majnu Ka Tilla Gudwara, out of all Gurdwaras in Delhi, which was in Jadish Tytler’s area. There he usto face daily and repeated threats which took a toll on his health and in June 2009, at a fairly young age of 60 he passed away. Tytler’s case was yet in court and was extremely weakened by Surinder Singh’s untimely death. Tytler presented an affidavit in court, purportedly from Surinder Singh stating that he had been pressurized by Phoolka to make a false statement against Tytler. Tytler’s whole game plan was to malign and control me, but with Wahuguru’s grace I was saved.

Tytler had complete support of these people and so I was disappointed with Sarna but there were no fights. However, when I prepared and asked them to file a case against Kamal Nath, Sarna instantly flared up.

At this crucial juncture when Sajjan Kumar’s case has reached its peak, I am extremely saddened by Sarna’s false allegations. When some journalists approached Sarna and asked him for receipts and bills for the Rs. 1.09 crores, he immediately altered his stand and stated that this money is the administrative expense that they have incurred during the course of the Nanavati Commission. Phoolka was the in charge and he had commissioned this unnecessary expenditure, even though nothing fruitful came out of the Nanavati Commission.

All of Nanavati Commission’s expenditure was done by the Gurdwara Committee, but none of this money and not a single rupee spent was on my account. Besides, this expenditure was done only till 2003, after which no money at all has been spent. Why is this expenditure suddenly being brought up after 7 years? In these 7 years, Sarna would have praised me many a times but when Sajjan Kumar’s case has reached its peak why is he suddenly lamenting over expenditure?

Sarna also states that nothing has been gained from the Nanavati Commission. It is only after the Nanavati Commission that cases against Sajjan Kumar and Tytler have been reopened; Tytler was forced to resign from a Ministerial post; the Government had to shell out a compensation of over Rs. 717 crore for the Riot victims. Maybe all these achievements may not have been in Sarna’s personal interest and benefit, but are they not in the interest of the community? This is for your goodself to decide.

In conclusion, with utmost sincerity, it is my respectful submission that I have not charged any fee in any of the riot cases. I have spent all my life for the cause and endangered my life in the process. I have fearlessly faced powerful leaders such as Bhagat, Sajjan Kumar and Tytler. Despite having done so much, I have never expected any reward. I have not accepted any political position or any other benefit. But today I am being repaid by having to defend and protect myself against false allegations leveled by Sikh leaders on my integrity?

In these 26 years, many organizations and people have attempted to offer me a lot of money to help the cause, but I refused with humility and have always said that I do these cases following my inner conscious that tells me to raise my voice against the atrocities faced by the Sikh Community. Particularly during my visits abroad, I was offered a lot of dollars and pounds out of a feeling of helping the cause. In order to raise public opinion for the cause, I have visited other countries about 25 to 30 times. It was only 3 times out of these, once to LA and twice to Vancouver, that I have accepted flight tickets for my visit, the rest have all been on my personal expense. Having to hear all these malicious and degrading allegations has adversely affected my inner conscience.

I earnestly request you to ask the whole Sikh community that whosoever has ever given me any money for the cause should come before you and disclose the same so that the truth can be ascertained once and for all. At the same time, all those who have been refused by me to accept any sum of money must also come before your goodself and explain how despite their persuasion, I refused their offers.

In this fight for justice, I have never had any expectations from these Sikh leaders. I have always stood against the perpetrators of the crime alone and have the resolve to do so in the future as well, however I feel that I do not have the conviction and the strength to be fighting the leaders of my own community in addition to the Congress leaders. These leaders claim that I am fighting these cases for my personal benefit. Even after hearing all these allegations, if I continue with the cases, I am fearful that the common man is going to get the impression that I am continuing the cases for my own personal interests.

These allegations have disturbed me so much that I have been spending sleepless nights and have been unable to prepare properly for the cases. If these circumstances continue, I will be rendered incapable of working on the cases and the cases would hence suffer. I am therefore constrained to request your goodself to kindly take a timely decision on the matter and make alternative arrangements for another lawyer. At this critical juncture, even a mere delay of a few days can prove to be disastrous for the cases. I assure you that till such alternative arrangements are made, I will continue with the matters and not let the cause safer, whatsoever may be my mental state of mind.

Yours sincerely,
(Harvinder Singh Phoolka)
Senior Advocate

The Guru has himself explained to the Sikhs the technique of true Yoga, and it is this: A Sikh must live in such a moral and spiritual poise that while hoping and waiting he ceases to aspire or crave for low ambitions and remains unconcerned and detached. He should eat little and drink little. He should speak little and never waste time in nonsensical discussion. He should sleep little at night and keep away from the snare of wealth. He should never crave avariciously after wealth and property.

SIKH CAPTAIN SERVES IN UNITED STATES ARMY WITH TURBAN AND FULL BEARD

United States Army Captain Tejdeep Singh Rattan became the first Sikh in a generation to serve in the United States Army with his turban, full length hair and full beard. Rattan had to get a waiver from the Army to serve without sacrificing the unshorn hair mandated by his faith. An immigrant from India who arrived in New York as a teenager, Rattan said he hopes his military commitment will allow him to give back to his adopted home country and will help diminish prejudice Sikhs sometimes face in the U.S. Army officer basic training graduation ceremony took place at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio on March 22, 2010. Captain Rattan and Dr. Kamaljeet Singh Kalsi, who will attend basic training this summer, are the first Sikhs to receive exemptions in more than 25 years.
The Army in 1984 eliminated an exemption that had previously allowed Sikhs to maintain their articles of faith while serving, but officials can issue individual waivers to the uniform policy after considering the effects on safety and discipline, said Army spokesman George Wright. Only a handful of such individual religious exemptions are ever granted. "I'm feeling very humbled. I'm a soldier," said the 31-year-old dentist, smiling after the ceremony at Fort Sam Houston. "This has been my dream." Rattan - who received a master's degree in engineering before pursuing a dental education and Kalsi both offer health care skills that are in high demand in an Army stretched by wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Rattan said he encountered no trouble from fellow soldiers during training
