27th Anniversary of 1984 mass Sikh genocide(not riots)

admin — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:50:00 +0000

November 1, 2010 marks the 27th Anniversary of 1984 Sikh genocide in India. The assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi (responsible for desecration of Sri Harmandar Sahib) by two her own Sikh body guards proved catastrophic for the Sikhs in India. The central government and the radical factions of the majority faith utilized the opportunity to hit back hard on the entire Sikh community. Just hours after Gandhi’s death, armed mobs stopped buses and trains, in and around Delhi. Sikhs passengers were segregated and pulled out and cruelly doused with kerosene. Later on, massive genocide was triggered against Sikhs for 3 days (Nov 1, 2, 3 1984) in which thousands of innocent Sikhs were killed.

The aftermath of Gandhi’s death is often termed as riots which erupted due to anti Sikh sentiments in general public. This was absolutely false. There are many incidents where people actually gave refuge to helpless Sikhs. It was indeed a state sponsored terrorism and mass genocide carried out in a very professional manner to eliminate Sikhs. According to Citizens report of Aug, 2010:

“On October 31, 1984 Congress party officials provided assailants with voter lists, school registration forms, and ration lists. Thes3 lists were used to find the location of Sikh homes and business, an otherwise impossible task because they were located in unmarked and diverse neighborhoods. On the night of October 31, the night before the massacres began; assailants used the lists to mark the houses of Sikhs with letter “S”. In addition, because most of the mobs were illiterate, Congress Party officials provided help in reading the lists and leading the mobs to Sikh homes and businesses in the other neighborhoods. By using the lists the mobs were able to pinpoint the locations of Sikhs they otherwise would have missed. Had it been a fair fight then Sikhs would have definitely shown their mettle.”

Sikhs accused of planning and killing Gandhi (Kehar Singh and Satwant Singh) were hanged till death in 1989 itself. But 26 years later, not even a single state employee (politicians, policemen and bureaucrats involved in 1984 genocide) has been brought to justice. Moreover in 1984, Sikh were butchered mercilessly but not even a single central minister stepped down on moral grounds for the bloodshed of thousands of innocent citizens of their own country. Instead they prepared a cover up with the help of media by giving a pre-planned genocide, the color of dynamic riots.

These shameful acts of killings and false cover ups show that how much safety of a common Sikh is ensured in India? The lament judicial system and gross injustice indicates that there is no guarantee that such incidents will not be repeated in the future. On the contrary, whenever Sikhs try to voice their concerns they are simply declared as harm to national integrity. It is satirical in the case of Sikhs who have done everything for India. They even laid down their lives to protect India and this is how they were being paid back? Iqbal who once wrote: “Saare Jahan se achan hindustan hamara“, later himself refuted the Indian state by saying:

मूद्त्ते बीत गयी है इस रंजो गम को सहते हुए, शर्म सी आती है इस वतन को वतन कहते हुए | (Muddte Beet Gayi Hai Iss Ranjo Gam Ko Sehte Hue, Sharam Si AAti Hai iss watam ko watan kete hue)

[Meaning: After all the sufferings Indian state has given to me, I feel shameful even in taking its name]

I guess such gross atrocities on Sikhs in post independence Indian era have forced them to think twice before living in India. This is the reason that the demand of a separate nation aroused among Sikhs. When you cannot bear us then separate us. I believe anybody would love to be a part on any country, provided their fundamental rights are safeguarded and that’s what India should do if they want to remain united.

There are thousands of Ruchika’s in Punjab and India….

admin — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 14:24:09 +0000

Punjab went through the bloodiest phase in the modern times during 1984 – 1995. Over a decade of lawlessness turned a peace loving sikh nation into a hell where innocent sikh youth were killed on a mere basis of doubt of their connection with militant sikhs.

But through this article I would like to highlight the cruelty which so many sikh women of Punjab faced during those killing operations of innocents took place. Many young girls were molested, raped and mercilessly tortured by the police officers under KP Gill.

The India media is doing a good job in exposing the criminal activities of post bearers like Rathore who openly commit suicide and cynically laugh over the sorry state of affairs of law in India and mocking at the world’s largest democracy.

Will the Indian media also take up the mass human rights violations that has taken place with the sikh females of Punjab? Though the ray of hope is low because sikhs constitute only 2% of India and the issues concerning them has a low TRP on Television. But uptil how long this havoc of molestation would continue? Cant women live free in the society?

Ruchika Girothra’s case is just a n eye opener of how law is being abused in India. Its high time the youth of India and Indian Media rises up everywhere in India to bring the corrupt officers, politicians and bureaucrats to the book to have a decent society to live in.
