INDIAN’S PREJUDICE BEHAVIOUR WITH MINORITIES

Indian Army is an occupying force in Indian held Kashmir, Senior Akali Dal leader from Punjab Simranjit Singh Mann stated. He also said “There is injustice going on with Kashmiris people.” India occupied Kashmir in 1947 at the time of partition. People of Kashmiris were not willing to join India. Kashmiris have been made slaves by India.  Addressing a press conference, Mann said that Kashmir is an internationally recognized dispute after New Delhi took the issue to United Nations and the same later passed number of resolution for its resolution and after the then Prime Minister Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru promised plebiscite for Kashmir. He said that Kashmir issue is not a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan, as is claimed by New Delhi. Akali Dal’s leader also cited that he supported the demand of right of self-determination in Kashmir. Mann showed his willingness of resolving the Kashmir issue as per the desires of Jammu and Kashmir people.

Mann Singh claimed that there was military rule in J&K and Chief Minister has no powers, he said, “Article 370 which gives special status to J&K has been eroded. New Delhi has imposed its own laws in Kashmir. The job of army is on borders but they have kept them guarding Amarnath yatra.” Lashing out at High Court and Supreme Court Judges for maintaining their silence on the grave human rights violation here, he said they have no more right to get huge salaries and not protecting the right to life and liberty of people (Article 21). “It is unethical to hide the grave human rights violations in Kashmir,” he said.

It is the right time that Kashmir should get independence now from the despotic Indian rulers. Kashmir should be an independent state where they can live easily without any kind of intervention. There should be a referendum according to UN resolutions in Kashmir which Jawaharlal Nehru promised. The Two Time Member of Parliament from Taran Tarn said that according to UN Resolutions, India had promised a plebiscite in Kashmir. But they are not fulfilling their promise. Situation in Kashmir will not improve till Kashmiris are given their rights,” he said. Terrorism is also at its peak in Kashmir. Human rights violations, killings of innocent Kashmiris, negating the rights of Muslims are the basic and major forms of terrorism in Kashmir which are now become the part of campaign by Indian Army. He claimed that Gujarat Chief Minister Narednra Modi was working on Hinduvta agenda. “BJP and Congress are two sides of a same coin and minorities are neither safe in BJP rule nor in Congress rule.”

In the end, I would like to say that Kashmir should get independence from the brutal Indians so that they can live easily according to their rights and Indian courts should take strong action against the brutalities of Indian Army in Kashmir.

Indian Political Blunder: Sikh Genocide 1984

General Sinha was the General Officer Commanding Western Command, a prestigious appointment in the early eighties, and was transferred to Delhi as the Vice Chief of Army Staff, with the expectation that he would succeed General K. V. Krishna Rao as the Army Chief.

He was supposed to familiarize himself with the office of the Army Chief. It was a surprise when he was superseded and Lt.-Gen. A. S. Vaidya, the GOC-in-C Eastern Command was appointed as the Chief of Army Staff. After which General S. K. Sinha submitted his resignation. This is a narration by a close associate of Gen Sinha. This all happened in the backdrop of Operation Blue Star.

Wikipedia accounts, Indira Gandhi first asked Lt. Gen. S. K. Sinha, then Vice-Chief of Indian Army, to prepare a position paper for assault on the Golden Temple. Lt. Gen. Sinha advised against any such move, given its sacrilegious nature according to Sikh tradition. He suggested the government adopt an alternative solution. Henceforth, a controversial decision was made to replace him with General Arun Shridhar Vaidya as the Chief of the Indian army. General Vaidya, assisted by Lt. Gen. K Sundarji as Vice-Chief, planned and coordinated Operation Blue Star.

S. K. Sinha had advised the government against the operation. He later criticized the Government’s claim that the attack represented a “last resort”. He also stated that the operation would have been conducted in an entirely different manner if he had planned it.

He also pointed out that a few days before the Operation; the Home Minister had announced that the troops would not be sent to the Golden Temple. There was no need to issue such statements when the government was to act in a manner contrary to what had been said.

But, the Operation seems to have been in plans much earlier. The General has alleged that the army had been rehearsing the operation in a replica of the Golden Temple at a secret location near Chakrata Cantonment in the Doon Valley.

The timing of Operation Blue Star coincided with a Sikh religious day, the martyrdom of Guru Arjan Dev, the founder of the Golden Temple. Sikhs from all over the world visit the temple on this day. Many Sikhs view the timing and attack by the Indian Army as an attempt to inflict maximum casualties on Sikhs and demoralise them, and the government is in turn blamed for the inflated number of civilian dead for choosing to attack on this day.

Mark Tully in his dispatches during and just after the bloody massacre of Sikh community in 1984 states: even if the arguments against a siege are accepted, they don’t justify the army’s decision to mount the operation while Sikhs were celebrating the anniversary of the martyrdom of Guru Arjan, who had built the Golden Temple and compiled the Guru Granth Sahib. This inevitably compounded Sikh anger about the operation. It also meant that the temple complex was particularly crowded and this was why so many civilians were killed.

The Sikh community’s anger and suffering was further increased by comments from leading newspaper editors, such as Ramnath Goenka, terming the operation as “A greater victory than the win over Bangladesh, this is the greatest victory of Mrs. Gandhi”.

Indira Gandhi could have delayed action against Bhindranwale but she realised voters were beginning to think she lacked the will to act. In search of political gain, countless Sikhs were murdered and no one was held accountable.

Voice for Khalistan Echoes in Capitol Hill

Washington – A leading Sikh group has gained access to the powerful corridors of the Capitol Hill with ultimate goal of seeking US lawmakers’ moral support for the creation of an Independent State for followers of Sikh religion, bifurcating, Indian Punjab, the Sikh majority state, The Daily Mail learnt.

When more than two dozen lawmakers announced formation of the first-ever Sikh American Congressional Caucus last week at the Capitol Hill, it was the presence of quite a number of individuals and representatives of organizations, who have always been openly supporting the cause of Khalistan, making everyone feel the importance and sensitivity amongst the Sikh to have an independent State, getting rid of the imposed Hindu rule.

"Sikhs who were present in the Sikh Congressional Caucus event in Washington were activists for the rights of Sikhs and were motivated by ideology of pro-Khalistan," said a prominent member of California-based North America Punjabi Association (NAPA).

A number of eminent Sikh American organizations say that as the courts back in India are now probing the riots of 1984 and the way the brutalities and ruthless killings of Sikhs by the Indian Security Forces during that era, which is by no means over yet, it becomes imminent for Sikhs to demand a separate and Independent State where they can live their lives with complete religious freedom and without any mistreatment on the basis of their religion or race.

These Sikhs, who also enjoy the support of the Sikhs, living in Canada and England in particular and from the rest of the world in general, say that the Capitol Hill is the best platform to gain support for this very legitimate and legal cause and they would continue to convince US lawmakers and policy makers to extend their support to this just cause.

They say that they do not support militancy for such purposes and that was why they had adopted the most democratic and most appealing way of gaining the moral support for their cause.

The Indian Embassy in Washington, which was not invited to this event, what many term as a historic one, has said it has always stood for the protection of the interests of all Indian Americans including members of the Sikh American community.

Insiders in the Sikh American community, who worked behind scenes for the creation of the Sikh Caucus, said that the Indian Embassy officials had expressed displeasure to the US lawmakers over the move.

An official of a New York-based Sikh advocacy group said, this was one of the reasons that none from the Indian Embassy were present at the launch event, which for the pro-Khalistan group is being billed as their major "diplomatic victory" against India after a long time.

However, the lawmakers, after the input by the Indian Embassy have asserted that the goal of this caucus is to address the issue of "hate crime" against the Sikhs US, as the community has been a major victim of it post 9/11.

"Rest assured, this platform will not be used against India. We are aware of the strategic importance of India-US relationship," a Congressional aide said on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the press.

Minorities Discrimination in India

Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde claimed that the main opposition parties in India, BJP and RSS are involved in terror activities in the country.

“The government has names of at least 10 persons associated with the RSS in bomb blast cases,” he said. Singh said that RSS was involved in Samjhauta Express, Mecca Masjid and Dargah Sharif blasts.

“Training camps of both the BJP and the RSS are promoting Hindu terrorism. Whether it is Samjhauta blast or Mecca Masjid blast or Malegaon blast, they plant bombs and blame it on the minorities,” he had said on the last day of the Congress Chintan Shivir in Jaipur. His comments were backed by External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid. “Our stated position is fully shared by the Home Minister. His statements are based on facts,” Khurshid told reporters.

This depicts the real face of fake democracy in India. The country which depicts itself the safest nation and the democratic as well is basically the terrorist nation. Our government should take some actions against these terrorist organizations.

Our government is totally failed in providing security to the citizens. Rapes, killings and atrocities with minorities are also at its peak. I feel ashamed for being an Indian. The proud which I had of being an Indian is no more.

Another big reality is that these two groups are also involved in recent rape incidents as well. The culprits were the terrorists of BJP and RSS and they have political background that is why no one can say anything to them. Though they are arrested but they will not get any kind of punishment and police will release them. Shame on us..!!!

Sikhs in our country are also not safe. Government and people are not giving rights to the Sikhs. It seems that BJP and RSS are behind this as well. They just want Hindus to flourish which is totally wrong. If we say that we are living in a democratic country, then we should prove it as well. Sikh women are being raped by BJP and RSS terrorists. There is no one in our country that raises voice for Sikhs. Instead of raising voice, they are disgraced in a bad manner. No one in our country listens to any kind of petition in a favour of Sikhs. This is really shameful for our country.

In short, we have training camps in our soil and instead of blaming other countries; we should do something to end these camps in our country if we want true democracy.

Massacre At Sikh Temple In Wisconsin Could Have Been Inspired By Operation Blue Star 1984

Sikh is the nation with which from the very long ago, Hindus are showing discriminatory behavior. They are against Sikhs.

Today, another brutal act of “Domestic terrorism” left 7 individuals dead and 30 injured, of a Sikh minority community in Oak Creek Wisconsin.

Month ago, a case of Surbajeet Singh came in the media. He got free from imprisonment in Pakistan and when he came back to India, he admitted that he went to Pakistan for spying as RAW agent. Soon after he admitted this, Indian government and RAW clearly disowned him by saying that they had not sent him to spy. The person who worked for them, the one had been jailed for more than 20 years, is totally disowned by our own government and RAW agency. After this incident, there was no one to help him out. This tells us that Indian culture is dominated by Hindu majority and is not secular in nature as being portrayed globally.

After that, Karan Singh, a waiter in a hotel was killed just for bringing order a bit late. He was killed by some officers of the private company. This shows that Hindus don’t want Sikhs in their country.

These 2 are the stories of our own country. Hindus don’t want that Sikhs live in peace in any part of the world. That is why they have started killing them. Involvement of RAW can be suspected in this case, just as it happened in Peshawar 2 years back when 2 Sikh brothers were brutally murdered just in the name of dirty politics and proxy wars.  

UN and Human Rights Watch are completely silent on this. Sikhs are being discriminated from a long time but nothing has been done so far to ensure equal acceptance of them in the world. They are quiet and just watching the killing of innocent Sikhs. This is the time when UN and Human Rights Watch have to do something and have to take some proper action because every human being in this world has the right and if their rights are being violated. The time has come when UN and Human Rights Watch must show some concern over this issue and show Sikhs that they are with them. If they can take action against killings in Afghanistan, Israel, India, UK then they must take action on this as well. Sikhs have all rights to live in the world.

Sikhs: Discriminated nation since independence of India

Sikhs have long faced discrimination at the hands of the Indian Government.  Regardless of which party is in power, Sikhs, along with other minority communities have been oppressed. 

Sikhs labeled as threat to India. Feeling alienated within India, the Sikh community put forward a resolution to address all grievances they had with the nation state of India. In 1972, the Sikhs put forward the Anandpur Sahib Resolution. Within this resolution were issues included both religious and political concerns. From easy issues of recognizing Sikhism as a religion, to stopping the discriminatory policy of not hiring Sikhs into the army, to allowing all states within India to set local state level policies and not be forced to get permission from the central government. India refused all resolutions and started to portray Sikhs as secessionists who wished to break apart India. The government controlled media propagated to the rest of India how Sikhs would eventually demand independence, which would result in India disintegrating as nation state. As the Sikhs continued their peaceful demonstrations during the 1970s, an environment of hatred was created by the Indian government to the point where the average Indian believed Sikhs were criminal traitors who wished to destroy India. The Sikhs were no longer equal human beings; they were a barbaric, subhuman threat to India.

Sikhs Labeled as Criminals. In 1947, under the direction of Prime Minister Nehru, Chandu Lal Trivedi had issued a directive to all Commissioners in Punjab to the effect that the ‘Sikhs in general must be treated as a criminal tribe. Harsh treatment must be meted out to them to the extent of shooting them so that they wake up to political realities. It has been confirmed that such a directive was issued to all the D.C.s of Punjab by Home Secretary Policy letter on October 10th, 1947.

This all depicts that Sikhs are being discriminated by the Indian government and people. They just hate Sikhs. They don’t want them to be the part of their nation. So much hatred lies in their heart for Sikhs.

Discrimination Of Sikhs In India

India who depicts itself the most democratic country in the world does not give the rights to the minorities of their country. Muslims are not given their rights. Sikhs who are the part of the Hindu nation are also get discriminated by the Indian government. Sikhs are not being given their full rights. They are considered as the minorities. In this case, Indian Supreme court must take some action on this for protecting the rights of Sikhs but SC is quiet on this matter.

Recent incident happened that a Karan singh, the waiter of a hotel was killed for delay in serving tandoori chicken to the customers. According to the Navghar police, the incident took place over a delay on part of the owner of a dhaba in Mulund (E) in serving a meal of tandoori chicken and eight rotis ordered by the BMC employees. The four assailants are drivers on the BMC's rolls, who had come to the Mulund dumping ground to drop off collected garbage.

This hows the discriminatory behavior of indian people with the Sikhs. Sikh must be given full rights so that they can live easily on their homeland. Indian Supreme court must take an action on this and give full surety to Sikhs that they will be given full rights.
