Sardarni Dr. Kuldeep Kaur : Sardar Balwant Singh Rajoana And The Psychopathology Of The Sikh Genocide

Sardar Balwant Singh Rajoana

Editor’s Note: This article references the genocide of Buddhists in Medieval India. The details of which can be found here: Extinction Of Sikhism In India

By  Sardarni Dr. Kuldeep Kaur

The Parsurama Killing may be a myth but the  killing of Buddhists by anti Buddhist evil forces  in medieval India is a reality. It is not abstract. It is as much a reality as the killing of Sikhs which is laid in front of us in this and the last  century.

Dr. Scott Peck writes, “Murder is not abstract.” Indeed we Sikhs have seen this with our own eyes and I daresay  lived it with agony in our own hearts.  Murderous group attacks on Sikhs are a reality. It is not a reality of one day only.  It is a reality from the beginning to the end. Peck says, “There are some who have written about evil so intellectually that it comes out sounding abstract to the point of irrelevancy.”  This is the way of the Hindu forces, whose furious, violent, serpentine intellect comes into command as they write about the murders of their victims. Not unlike a serpent, they reduce large scale murderous attacks of the State Appratus on Sikhs to irrelevancy.

At the national level the quality of Parsurama violence can be likened to Gujrat and other Genocides which have been conducted  in India with a fair amount of consistency. In all of these genocides one after the other, the gruesomeness of the murders indicates an anti-human force at work. “Evil is dangerous not only because it motivates them to scapegoat others but also because it deprives them of the restraint that results from empathy and respect for others” says Dr. Scott Peck (p. 136). He further says, “There is a brand of narcissism so total that they seem to lack, in whole or in part, their capacity for empathy, (p. 136).

 Dr. Scott continues, “All of us tend to be more or less self centred in our dealings with others. We usually view any given situation first and foremost from the standpoint of how it affects us personally, and only as an afterthought do we bother to consider how the same situation might effect someone else involved. Nonetheless, particularly if we care for the other person we usually can and eventually do think about his or her viewpoint, which may even be different from ours.  But not so with Evil”(p. 136)

This point squarely applies to the Hindu. So much blood (like water) has flown under the bridges,  but this point has still not captured the Hindu pseudo-scholar’s attention that Bhai Rajoana has killed a murderer of Sikhs. Not just a murderer of one Sikh but a murderer of 200,000 Sikhs under a planned genocide. it was not a genocide of only one go. It occured and recurred daily for years  while Beant Singh remained in the  chair as the Chief Minister Of The Punjab. 

Just as a devil draws out such  Sikhs to do it’s job of murdering so does it give pens into the hands of its willing minions like the  writers  of  The Financial Times Of India;  so that the  the humanity of all Sikhs including Sardar Rajoana can be belittled and ignored.

They can  ignore the genocide of the Buddhists and wash  this out from the pages of history. But with the assistance of The Almighty Akal Purakh;  it will not happen in the case of The  Sikhs. By His Grace we have understood what Psychiatrist Scott Peck has to say about their disease. He writes,”By virtue of its extreme self-centredness, evil/devil does not understand the phenomenon of love. It is true that there is an absence of love in it’s (Satan’s) personality. But it is also true that pervading this personality is an active presence of hate. Satan wants to destroy us,” (p. 208).

The patterns of thinking of persons suffering from this disease (the diagnosis of which Dr. Scott Peck gives in an unequivocal form) are the most distorted and dishonest. Satan does not understand why any beings would not want to deceive others. ”Evil hates the light,” says Dr. Peck. “It avoids the light of truth that penetrates it’s  deception, (p.77). Enamored with its own will and hate of the light of truth, it basically finds science incomprehensible,” (p. 209).

Sikhs will have to understand that they are confronting a killer enemy that Psychiatrists  call  an ‘ultimate disease’ of not just the Christian world but the Universe. Sikhs have lived through it’s attacks with their lives. An enemy whose perception has not taken cognizance of the  mounds and mounds of dead bodies of young Sikhs wilfully killed; although it  is on the front-line of the reporting, registering, recording of it!   They  have behaved in a way exactly as they have done with Buddhists.

Though they have internalized the threat from Sikhs;  their evil minds have not registered the good done by Sikhs to their whole upper caste nation. Sikhs were like a whiff of fresh air on their sad stinking world. They killed their own daughters, young newly wed wives, mothers, and sisters in a religion which sanctioned  this by custom! What to they care for Sikhs. But this is an immutable  fact of history;  and besides The Khalsa,  the whole genuine Christian world too knows that evil can be eliminated only by virtuous action. In the whole world there is no one who matches the virtuosity of the saint-soldiers of The Khalsa Order;  of whom Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana is a representative.

Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana and the indomitable Sikh spirit

What manliness you have shown by extinguishing a few sparks. You have made the fire brighter and more furious.
~ Guru Gobind Singh, in Zafarnama – his letter to the Mughal emperor of India in 1705.

Balwant Singh’s story is available all over the web, but as a short synopsis, I refer to the Sikh Organization for Prisoner Welfare:

Balwant Singh Rajoana was a police officer and gunman for Chief Minister Beant Singh. Beant was responsible for overseeing the mass genocide of Sikhs and was responsible for giving police officers such as KPS Gill (known as ‘The Butcher of Punjab’), SSP Sumedh Saini, SSP Mohammad Izhar Alam (leader of the infamous Black Cats) and others a free reign to run operations that deliberately targeted the civilian population of Punjab. This lead to a period of forced disappearances, fake ‘encounter’ killings, brutal torture, illegal detention, mass rapes, illegal seizure of property and widespread intimidation of the Sikh population.
Balwant Singh Rajoana was arrested in 1995 and has never denied involvement in the assassination plot. He has refused to make any appeals and has not recognised the authority of the courts in what has been called a matter of Sikh National Security and Sovereignty. Balwant Singh Rajoana has openly called for the death penalty recognising it as the only form of justice available to him under the Indian legal system. This may seem strange, but Balwant Singh Rajoana is inspired by the rich history of the Sikhs and their Gurus who have laid down their lives in opposition to tyranny.

While Balwant Singh welcomes his sentence, protests are taking place in India and around the world (to my knowledge, rallies have been organized in London, Vancouver, San Francisco).  Some of those who are protesting are seeking clemency even though Balwant Singh himself is refusing to appeal his sentence.  Others are taking up this cause to protest capital punishment, or are using this cause to continue to rally for Khalistan (an independent Sikh state).

However, by far, Balwant Singh’s sentence only provides further evidence of Indian injustice. It is yet another example of the double-standard of the Indian state in which Sikhs convicted of crimes are given life or death sentences by the judiciary, while the state-sponsored killers and torturers of Sikhs over the last three decades have roamed free with impunity and are even promoted by the state.

A wonderful essay was written in The Langar Hall by blogger Jodha:

Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana has shaken the Sikhs.  From London to Ludhiana, from Surrey to San Francisco, Sikhs are showing that the spirit of the community is not dead.  We are not so focused on elections, careers, wealth, and family to forget the soul of the nation.

Despite decades of the greatest of human rights violations against Sikhs by the Indian state and obfuscation of due justice in that regard, Sikhs are still rising to make their voices heard. I do not celebrate violence and destruction, and indeed, the backdrop on this story is full of horror and tragedy.  What I celebrate now is one Sikh who, true to his Maker, resists injustice and is proudly making his stand in the full spirit of chardi kala.

Like Bhagat Singh, considered by most Indians as a national hero and who was executed by the British almost 81 years ago to the day, Balwant Singh Rajoana will be remembered in a similar way. To those who are taking up his cause, I applaud all of you.

Activists Testify in Congress on Violence Against India’s Minorities (Sikhs)

• IndiaSeveral Indian American activists denounced the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat and mass killings in Kashmir and Orissa at a Mar. 21 congressional hearing before the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission.
  
  Approximately 70,000 residents have died in Kashmir, including through “fake encounter” executions, custodial brutality, and other means, noted human rights activist Angana Chatterji, also alleging that another 8,000 have been “involuntarily disappeared.”
   
  Civil rights lawyers have reportedly filed 15,000 petitions since 1990, inquiring, largely unsuccessfully, into the location and health of detainees and the charges against them, she said.
   
  “There is urgent need for supporting the human rights of the affected civilian population as they live with the effects of the conflict, and holding all parties to the conflict (state and non-state) accountable in accordance with international standards,” said Chatterji, a former professor of humanities at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, Calif.
   
  Kashmir has the distinction of being the most heavily militarized zone in the world, with one soldier for every 10 residents, according to reports by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, which have monitored the region and documented human rights violations by Indian military forces there.
   
  Last year, a special investigation team in Jammu and Kashmir reported the discovery of 2,730 bodies dumped in unmarked mass graves around the region.
   
  “For years, Kashmiris have been lamenting their lost loved ones, their pleas ignored or dismissed as the government and army claimed that they had gone to Pakistan to become militants,” said Meenakshi Ganguly, South Asia director at Human Rights Watch, in August 2011, after the police team’s report was made public. “But these graves suggest the possibility of mass murder. The authorities should immediately investigate each and every death,” she said.
   
  Chatterji also denounced the mass-scale violence against Christian minorities in Orissa in 2008, when thousands of homes and churches were torched, and 92 people murdered.
   
  “The violence was planned, premeditated, and that the police had prior knowledge of them,” she alleged, also noting in her congressional testimony the violence against Sikhs following the 1984 murder of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
  Najid Hussain, president of the Ahsan Jafri Foundation, named for his father-in-law who was killed in the 2002 Gujarat riots, testified that violence against religious minorities has become something of a norm in the mindset of modern India, attributable to a rise in Hindu nationalism – Hindutva.
   
  MP Ahsan Jafri was killed in the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat that began when a Muslim mob Feb. 27 attacked a train returning from Ayodhya, and killed an estimated 60 Hindu pilgrims. A wave of anti-Muslim violence set off across the state, killing an estimated 2,000 people in its wake, and left 10,000 displaced, according to a U.S. State Department report (I-W, Mar. 7). Civil rights organizations have long alleged that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi was not only aware of the violence but himself complicit in the attacks. Modi was denied a U.S. visa in 2005.
   
  “For the riots that followed the coach-burning, killing more than 2000 innocent Gujarati Muslims, not even a handful of arrests been made,” alleged Hussain. 
   
  Hussain urged Congress to use its influence to have India bring justice to the victims of the Gujarat riots and provide relief to those left homeless by the violence.
   
  Rep. Keith Ellison Mar. 1 introduced legislation in the House denouncing the Gujarat riots. HR 569, a non-binding resolution, has been referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
   
  The commission, named for the late, long-time Congressman Tom Lantos, is co-chaired by James McGovern, D-Mass., and Frank Wolf, R-Virginia.
   
  Meanwhile, the Hindu American Foundation had protested the invitation to Chatterji to speak at the hearing for her “virulently anti-Hindu and anti-India positions,” according to its press release. "
   
  Chatterji is not a credible witness due to her connections to organizations that are counter to American foreign interests," said Samir Kalra, HAF's San Francisco, Calif.-based director. 

From Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana to Khalistan Movement

Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana was a police officer and acts as a gunman for chief minister Beant singh. Bhai Balwant Singh was in Patiala Central Jail Since November 2010. Bhai Rajoana was arrested in August 1995 Because Rajoana was the back-up bomber in the bomb blast that killed Beant singh.

Rajoana killed Beant singh because he was responsible for great genocide of sikhs and also was responsible for giving police officers a free reign to run operations that targeted the civilian population of punjab.

Currently , Bhai Rajoana is in patiala jail is serving the sentence for the execution of Beant singh outside the punjab secretariat in 1995. Rajoana accepted it instead of showing any faith in the corrupt Indian justice system. In his will , Rojoana express no desire to live any more. He expressed that he wishes to have sight of Shri Harmandir Sahib. He writes that it is my wish that , my eyes may kindly be given to Hazuri Ragi of Darbar Sahib and if it is not possible in any case then my eyes can be denoted to any needy person.

Indian Government and military are desperate for this execution because Bhai Rajoana was increasing his voice for KHALISTAN.He had never forgotten the Sikh holocaust of 1984. His demand was to punish Indian Congress who was the culprit and initiator of 1984 Sikh Carnage. We should galvanize his sacred cause for Khalistan and justice for Sikhs.

Bhai Balwant Singh Rojoana is truly a great sikh. I hope the decision gets changed about his hanging
