🚩सिक्खों के मूलभूत प्रश्न और उत्तर🚩@✒GBG⚔

1.  प्रश्न_ क्यों चाहते हैं सिक्ख खालिस्तान ?

उत्तर:- क्यों की सिक्खों को अफगानिस्तान, पाकिस्तान, पुरी, मधयप्रदेश के  आबाद गीर सिक्खों, और गुजरात के सिक्खों के साथ, शिलांग के सिक्खों के साथ,  सिकली गीर सिक्खों के साथ, 1984 के दंगों   में सिक्खों के व्यापक जेनोसाईड ( Genocide )  के बाद, कश्मीर में सिक्खों के सामूहिक क़त्ल के बाद, अफ़ग़ानिस्तान में सिक्खों के क़त्ल के बाद, ननकाना साहिब के हंगामे के बाद, और अब पेशावर में पहले पाकिस्तानी सिक्ख एंकर के भाई के बेवजह क़त्ल के बाद, अब ये लगने लगा है, कि समय अा गया है, की सिक्ख नेशन को अब जियोग्राफिकल टेरिटरी कि दरकार है, उन्हें अपना मुल्क बनाना चाहिए, तभी वह इज्जत और अनख से जी सकेंगे। चाहे वह विश्व भर में रहें, लेकिन फ़िर भी इज़रैयल की तरह सिक्खों का अपना इलाका होना आवश्यक है। ज्यों ज्यों सिक्खों पे जब्रो जुल्म बढ़े गा, अपने देश के लिए सिक्ख संघर्ष ज़ोर पकड़ता जाए गा।

2.  कौन है सिक्खों का सब से बड़ा दुश्मन ?

उत्तर:-  यह बहुत ही आवश्यक प्रश्न है। सिक्खों के सब से बड़े दुश्मन खुद सिक्ख कौम में हैं। इन्हे तीन श्रेणियों  में बांटा जा सकता है। पहले लोग सिक्ख कौम के विभिन्न मौका प्रस्त लीडर हैं, जो औरंगज़ेब से ले कर आज तक, मौके की सरकार का थूका हुआ चाटते हैं, और  यह लोग यही सब करते भी रहेंगे, क्यों कि यह लोग  कुर्सी और धन की हड्डी और बिसकुट पे लगे हुए वह कुत्ते हैं, जो शेरों जैसे दिखते हैं, लेकिन हैं कुत्ते। इन  लोगों की उदाहरण जनरल डायर को जलियांवाला कांड के बाद प्रीति भोज खिलाने वाले और सिरोपा भेंट करने वाले कौम के गद्दार, और पंजाब की सियासत में राज कर के हर सरकारी काम में रुपए में से 35 पैसे मांगने वाले, सभी स्त्ता पिपासु शामिल हैं।  दूसरे   वह हैं, जो किसी भी संघर्ष में केवल अपना उल्लू सीधा करने आते हैं। इन में लुटेरे भी हैं, और ज़मीन जयदाद के लालची वह लोग भी जो खाड़कुवाद का सहारा ले कर रिश्तेदारों, या अपने गुरु तक का जर, ज़मीन के लालच में कतल करते करवाते हैं। इन लोगों का उदाहरण एक डेरे के प्रमुख से ले कर SYL नहर के सीनियर इंजीनियर्स के कतल की गुत्थी में आज भी छिपा है। तीसरे दुश्मन वह सभी लोग हैं, जो लंगर खाने, हर सिक्ख गुरुद्वारे में पहुंचते हैं, लेकिन सिक्खों के ख़िलाफ़ बात करते हैं, दंगों में उन्हे मारते हैं, या सिक्खों के कतल पे चुप्पी साधते हैं । यह लोग सिक्खों को केवल उपहास, वोट या फिर इस्तेमाल कर के फेंक देने वाले खिलौने रूपी सिपाही, यानी किसी मोहरे से ज्यादा कुछ नहीं समझते।

3 . क्या सिक्ख हिन्दू और मुसलमान कौम से अलग हैं ?

उत्तर:-  जी हां। चाहे सिक्ख कौम के पूर्वज भी ज्यादा तर हिन्दू ही थे, और कुछ मुसलमान भी थे, लेकिन सिक्ख न हिन्दू है न मुसलमान।  सिक्ख का अपना अलग धर्मग्रन्थ, जीवन सिद्धांत,   जीवनशैली, जीवन मूल्य,  और इतिहास है । अवश्य ही सिक्ख एक अलग कौम है । यह भी एक सच्चाई है, कि सिक्ख,  हिन्दू हो या मुसलमान, किसी से द्वेष नहीं रखते, लेकिन इस के विपरीत सिक्खों से द्वेष रखने वाले केवल ईर्ष्या और द्वैत भाव के चलते, उन से गहरा द्वेष रखते हैं।  इस पे विस्तार से चर्चा मैं पहले भी कर चुका हूं। यहां यह भी स्पष्ट कर दूं, कि सिक्ख केसाधरी हो या सहजधारी, जिस किसी का भी ईमान नानक के एक-ईश्वर वाद और एक-मानववाद पे है, और जो कोई भी सत्य और न्याय की रक्षा के लिए जंगजू होने का जिगर रखता है, वह सिक्ख है। यही सिक्खी का सच्चा सार है।

4.   क्या कोई अलग और स्वयं शाशित आज़ाद सिक्ख देश बने गा ?

उत्तर:-  हालां की सिक्ख अच्छे विश्व नागरिक हैं, लेकिन फ़िर भी केवल राजनैतिक लाभ के लिए उन्हें निशाने पे रखा जाता रहा है। जैसे ही सिक्खों को लगने लगता है, कि अब वो मेन स्ट्रीम में ढलने लगे हैं, अन पर आनन फानन में कोई न कोई हमला हो जाता है। राजनेता पाकिस्तानी हों या हिन्दुस्तानी, सिक्खों को दोस्त बना कर या फुसला कर इस्तेमाल करते रहे हैं, और अगर सिक्खों का अहित करने में राजनैतिक लाभ नज़र आए, तो सिक्खों को मारने, या उजाड़ने में कोई गुरेज नहीं करते। सिक्ख आज भारतीय सबकोंटिनेंट में राजनीतिक इस्तेमाल के मोहरे मात्र बनकर रह गए हैं। हिन्दू हो या मुसलमान, दोनों सिक्खों से अपने अपने भाई चारे की बात भी करते हैं, और फ़िर इस कौम की अजमत पे, जान माल पे हाथ डालते हुए भी गुरेज नहीं करते  हैं।  अगर हालात एसे ही रहे, जैसे हिन्द पाक के आज तक रहे हैं, और आगे बनते जा रहे हैं, तो अवश्य अलग और स्वयं शाशित आज़ाद सिक्ख देश बने गा। चाहे अगले महा युद्ध के दौरान बने, या उस के उपरांत, या यह खुद ही  किसी युद्ध का कारण बनें, लेकिन यदि सिक्ख दमन चक्र चलता रहा  अलग और स्वयं शाशित आज़ाद सिक्ख देश अवश्य बने गा । कहां, कब और कैसे, यह भेद अभी कुदरत ने जाहिर नहीं किया है, लेकिन लौहे अज़ल पे यह इबारत लिखी जा चुकी है। मेरी रिसर्च और एनालिसिस मुझे बताता है, कि सिक्ख संघर्ष न मरा है, न मरे गा, और इसे ज़िंदा रखने का श्रेय किसी अलगाववादी को नहीं जाता, बल्कि इस की मूल वजह सिक्खों के ख़िलाफ़ समय समय पर चलाया गया दमन चक्र है।

5.  अलग और स्वयं शाशित आज़ाद सिक्ख देश पहले क्यों नहीं बन पाया?

उत्तर:-  इस का ज़बाब है, सिक्ख कौम के बेवकूफ  सिक्ख सरदारों के कारण और कौम के गद्दारों के कारण। आज़ादी के समय सिक्ख लीडरशिप अधपढ़ या अनपढ़ ही थी, या फ़िर बिकाऊ थी, जिस ने बहुत से गलत फैसले लिए। आज भी सिक्ख कौम की सब से बड़ी जरूरत है, कि पड़े लिखे आधुनिक विद्वान और नितिवान सिक्ख इस कौम के दिशा निर्देशन और दशा शोधन के लिए आगे आएं, ओर जाहिल या शुद्ध रूप से शेर की खाल में छिपे सियारों से, जो कदम कदम पर सिक्ख इंटर्सट के सौदे करते हैं, से कौम को मुक्ति दिलवाएं। वैसे भी सिक्ख कौम में आपसी धोखाधड़ी, ईर्ष्या, द्वेष, धोखा शुरू से चला अा रहा है।  गुरुओं के इतिहास को देखो तो हर एक गुरु के समय ही गुरु गद्दी के लिए, या धन दौलत और रॉयल पेट्रोनेज के लालच में परिवारिक मेंबर ही एक दूसरे को  धोखे देते रहे, एक दूसरे के ख़िलाफ़ साजिशें करते रहे। दसवें गुरु तक तो बात इतनी बिगड़ गई कि अब पुजारी वर्ग में भी कई मतभेद होने लगे। ज्यादा तर सिक्ख भी नहीं जानते कि दशम गुरु गोबिंद सिंह कभी भी हरिमंदिर नहीं गए। फ़िर बन्दा बहादुर के समय भी सिक्खों ने ही सिक्खों के ख़िलाफ़ ज्यादा साजिशें रची।  यही हाल रंजीत सिंह के लाहौर दरबार में हुआ। बहुत से लोग अपना दामन साफ़ रखने के लिए डोगरे वजीरों पे सब इल्ज़ाम थोंप देते हैं, जो गलत है। दरबार में वजीर डोगरे भी थे और सिक्ख भी, लेकिन कोई किसी का सका नहीं निकला। जब तक रंजीत सिंह का डंडा चलता रहा तो काम चलता रहा, उपरांत उस के लाहौर दरबार का इतिहास, एक के बाद एक क़त्ल, साज़िश, धोखा और ट्रेचेरी से भरा पड़ा है।  सो यह नहीं कि सिक्ख राज्य किसी चीज का आखिरी हल है।  जहां एक ओर सिक्ख कौम बहादुरी की कई मिसाले कायम कर चुकी है, वहीं दूसरी ओर सिक्ख कौम के बेशुमार लोग खुद भी एकता और वफा से कोसों दूर हैं, और कौम एक नहीं, कई गद्दारों से भरी पड़ी है  ।

6 .    क्या अलग और स्वयं शाशित आज़ाद सिक्ख देश के लिए खालिस्तान सही नाम है, या पंजाब ज्यादा सही रहे गा?

उत्तर:- नहीं, खलिस्तान सही नाम नहीं है। इसे बदलना होगा। इस नाम का कॉन्टेक्स्ट और एक्स्टेंट पूरे सिक्ख फलसफे को सम्माहित करने में निष्प्राण है, असमर्थ है। तो क्या USR, SSS, या UROS नाम ज्यादा सही रहेंगे, या फ़िर PRP सही नाम रहे गा !!?  जी हां, UNITED SIKH REPUBLIC, या SECULAR SIKH STATE, या फिर UNITED  REPUBLIC OF SIKHS ज्यादा बेहतर और बड़े स्कोप वाले नाम हैं, जब की सब से बेहतर ऑप्शन है PRP (PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC of  PUNJAB.), यानी 'पीपल्ज़ रिपब्लिक ऑफ पंजाब' ।

7.  कैसा होगा या होना चाहिए नानक के सिद्धांतों पर बना देश?

उत्तर:- नाम जो भी हो, इस देश के संविधान की नींव नानक के एक मानव-वाद  और सेकुलर सिद्धांतो पे टिकी होगी।  यह किसी बड़े संघीय ढांचे, जैसे कि 'UNI' यानी,  'युनाइटेड नेशन्ज़ ऑफ इंडिया' का हिस्सा भी हो सकता है, बिलकुल आज़ाद मुल्क भी हो सकता है, या किसी अन्य कन्फेडरेशन का खुदमुख्तार हिस्सा भी हो सकता है। मूलतः यह देश महाराजा रणजीत सिंह के पंजाब से बहुत मिलता जुलता होगा।  इस के इलाके में सम्पूर्ण पेप्सू के समय का पंजाब, कश्मीर, पेशावर और मुल्तान इत्यादि समेत सम्पूर्ण पाकिस्तानी पंजाब सम्मिलित किया जाए गा, और इस के लोगों में, सिक्ख, जाट, डोगरे, पंजाबी मुसलमान, गुज्जर, पंजाबी दलित, पंजाबी राजपूत, पंजाबी ईसाई और बाकी सभी पंजाबी कौमें शामिल होंगी।  सभी भाषाओं और सभी कलचरज़ का सम्मान होगा। गौ-गरीब  की रक्षा होगी। जात-पात के नाम पे  कोई रिजर्वेशन नहीं होगी, ना कोई डिस्क्रिमिनेशन। कानूनी व्यवस्था सुचारू, सख्त और तेज़ तर्रार होगी, और राज-काज बाबा बन्दा बहादुर के खालसा राज मॉडल पे चलाया जाए गा। सब का साथ सब का विकास इस देश में केवल एक जुमला नहीं, बल्कि देश की नीति का मूल-सिद्धांत होगा।

8.  क्या सिक्ख राष्ट्र कोई थियोक्रेसी होगी ?

उत्तर:- जी नहीं, सिक्ख राष्ट्र कोई थियोक्रेसी नहीं होगी, होनी भी नहीं चाहिए।   स्मरण रहे कि जैसे कुछ सिक्खों को एक शुद्ध सिक्ख राज्य का सपना दिखा कर राजनेता पहले भी मूर्ख बनाते रहे, और इस के चलते  विशाल पंजाब को एक छोटे से सूबे में बदल दिया, वैसे ही शुद्ध सिक्ख खालिस्तान भी एक  दुस्वप्न मात्र है।  अगर नानक के सिद्धांत पे कोई अलग राज्य बनता है, तो वह तभी संभव है, जब वह  एक्सक्लूसिव नहीं बल्कि इंकल्युजिव  हो, यानी सभी को साथ ले के चले।  सिक्ख स्टेट के नाम पर किसी भी तरह का कंट्रोल पुजारी वर्ग ( Clergy) के हाथ में देना, और एक थियोक्रेसी बना देना, सिक्खों के हित में नहीं , बल्कि अहित का सौदा ज्यादा साबित होगा। [Clergy are  persons, such as pastors sheiks, priests of temples and gurudwaras, and rabbis etc, who are trained and ordained for religious service. In my opinion, clergy should never be given power over a state's adminstration, as they are bound to mess it up. The Law book of any modern nation and the constitution  of a nation must never be allowed  to be influenced by any religion.] यानी अब समय आ गया है, बुद्धिजीवी वर्ग सिक्खों का नेतृत्व करे, तथा पुरोहित और राजनीतिक मौकापरस्तों को रुक्सत करे।

9. क्या सिक्खों और सिक्ख विचारधारा के सभी लोगों को इकट्ठे होना चाहिए, यानी अपनी डेमोग्राफी और जियोग्राफी को पुनः संगठित करना चाहिए ?

उत्तर:-  अवश्य होना चाहिए । सिक्खों को खवार खवार होने से नुकसान है, मिलने में बरकत है।   पाकिस्तानी सिक्खों को  और अफ़ग़ानिस्तानी सिक्खों को भी पेशावर इत्यादि से हट कर करतारपुर के इर्द गिर्द और लाहौर के साथ साथ अा  बसना चाहिए। भारत में फैले हुए हर सिक्ख को भी पंजाब में अपनी कोई जगह, अपना एक ठिकाना अवश्य बनाना चाहिए।  जंग की सूरत में अलग थलग पड़े सिक्खों को  खत्म किया जा सकता है, लेकिन संगठित सिक्ख ज्यादा पायेदार जंग लड़ेंगे और विजय प्राप्त करेंगे। फ़िर स्पष्ट कर दूं कि सिक्ख से मेरा तात्पर्य अन सभी से है जो नानक के एक-मानववाद और एक इश्वर्वाद में आस्था रखते हैं। सिक्ख करतारपुर से ननकाना, पेशावर, मुल्तान  और लाहौर तक सब लेके रहेंगे, और एक सच्ची सेकुलर स्टेट का निर्माण करेंगे।

10.  सिक्खों के लिए इमिजियेट  सॉल्यूशन क्या है ?

उत्तर:-   मेरी इस सलाह के लिए सिक्ख जगत मुझे हमेशा याद रखेगा । सिक्खों के लिए इमिजियेट  सॉल्यूशन  है  वर्चुअल सिक्ख स्टेट की फार्मेशन। सिक्खों को वर्चुअल स्पेस में अपना आज़ाद देश घोषित करना चाहिए, नागरिक बनाने चाहिए और फ़िर अपने रकीबों पर वर्चुअल जगत के शहसवार बन कर,  इंफॉर्मेशन और सॉफ्टवेयर के घोड़ों पे सवार हो कर, जगत फतेह का अभियान छेड़ना चाहिए। इस अभियान का मिशन होना चाहिए, दिलों पर विजय और विश्व की वर्चुअल स्पेस पर इंफॉर्मेशन टेक्नोलॉजि के बेहतरीन ज्ञान द्वारा प्राप्त की गई सुपीरियोरीटी   से विजय। यह संभव है।  अब सिक्खों को अपने 5 काकारों में कंघा केस किरपान आदि से आगे बढ़ कर आधुनिक वैज्ञानिक विद्या, फिजिकल और मेंटल फिटनेस, विश्व और लोकल कानून का एक्सपर्ट पंडित होना,  इंफॉर्मेशन टेक्नोलॉजी में मास्ट्री,  और साइबर वारफेयर में पूर्ण महारत हासिल करने की ओर बढ़ना चाहिए। सिर्फ बेवकूफाना मोर्चे लगाना, ज़िंदाबाद मुर्दाबाद के नारे इत्यादि लगाने  से  अब काम नहीं चलेगा। इस सब से आगे बढ़ना चाहिए। सिक्ख कौम का असली भला विद्या, वीरता,  धैर्य  और अनुशासन द्वारा ही होगा। जो सिक्ख केवल तलवार का धनी है, अधूरा है। अब सिक्ख तलवार और सिक्ख कलम को एक होना  होगा। यही है मीरी और पीरी का सही तात्पर्य।

11.  क्या फिरंगी सिक्ख का  दोस्त  साबित  होगा ?

उत्तर:- यह एक अटल स्त्य है और इस का इतिहास गवाह है कि सिक्खों की सबसे बढ़िया मैनेजमैंट फिरंगी ने ही की। फिरंगी सिक्खों को खुद सिक्खों से भी बेहतर समझा।  फिरंगी ने लाहौर के सिक्ख सम्राज्य में घात अवश्य लगाई, लेकिन तब, जब सिक्ख दरबार के अपने वजीरों और सरदारों ने सिक्ख दरबार से गद्दारी की। महाराजा खड़क सिंह, महाराजा नौनिहाल सिंह, महाराजा शेर सिंह, रानी चांद कौर, रानी साहिब कौर, जवाहर सिंह औलख, राजकुमार पिशौरा सिंह और अन्य कईयों का क़त्ल  आपसी द्वेष और साज़िश के चलते हुए। खुद रानी जिंदा और लगभग खुदमुख्तार खालसा फौज में मतभेद और अविश्वास का माहौल बन गया था। फौज भी कई कमांडरों में वफादारी के लेवल पे बंटी हुई थी।  सो ऐसे हालात में फिरंगी ने सिक्ख सम्राज्य हथिया लिया,  लेकिन फिरंगी सिक्खों की वीरता से अनजान नहीं था। उस ने सिक्खों के फौजी गुणों को पहचाना और उन का सम्मान किया। न सिर्फ सिक्ख रेजिमेंट बल्कि सिक्ख लाइट इन्फैंट्री जैसे फौजी दस्ते संगठित किए, प्रशासन में सिक्खों को उपयुक्त स्थान दिया, और महाराजा के बाद दरबदर हुई फौज को सम्मान से सेवा का मौका उपलब्ध करवाया।  आज भी कम से कम फिरंगी सिक्ख का मान सम्मान अवश्य करता है। उस ने कैनेडा में सिक्खों को रक्षा मंत्री जैसे शीर्ष स्थानों पे बैठा कर सिक्खों में अपने विश्वास को दर्शाया है।  यह दोस्ती आपसी जरूरत की कसौटी पे भी खरी उतरती है। अंग्रेज़ कितना भी चालाक क्यों न हो, लेकिन बेकद्री नहीं करता, और वैसे भी कहते हैं, कि 100 बेवकूफ या खुदगर्ज दोस्तों से एक समझदार दोस्त बेहतर।  बेशक, अंग्रेज़ समझदार कौम है।  इस्लामिक एक्स्ट्रीमिज्म और कट्टरवाद के ख़िलाफ़ लड़ी जा रही जंग के चलते,  सिक्ख और अंग्रेज़ नेचरुल एलाइज  हैं। अंग्रेज़ ना सिर्फ सिक्खों के अच्छे दोस्त साबित होंगे, बल्कि सिक्ख नेशन के बेहतरीन नागरिक भी सिद्ध होंगे, लेकिन फ़िर भी,  सिक्ख के सब से बेहतरीन दोस्त गुरु नानक का 'एक नूर से सब जग उपजेया' का फ़लसफ़ा,  गुरु हर-गोबिंद की 'देग-तेग फतेह' की स्ट्रेटजी और गुरु गोबिंद की  'निश्चय कर अपनी जीत करने की भावना' ही होंगे।

🚩 हाजिर है ननकाना साहिब कांड का काला सच।🚩
@ ✒⚔GBG⚔

1.  सब से पहले तो यह जान लीजिए कि यह ISI, यानी पाकिस्तानी  सरकार के तहखानों में काम कर रहे जासूसों और स्ट्रैटेजिस्ट लोगों  का खेल है। गलियों में नारे लगाते कूकर, मात्र भौंकने के लिए भौंक रहे हैं। सब हड्डी बिस्किट खा के अपनी ड्यूटी वियुटी पूरी कर रहे हैं।

2,   मत भूलिए, 2020 रेफरेंडम का साल है। पाकिस्तान का रिटायर्ड जरनैल, वहां का पुराना COAS पहले ही कह चुका है कि इस बार सिक्खों को भारत के विरूद्ध भड़काओ,  फुस्लाओ, इस कौम को बहकाओ, और पुनः अपनी प्रॉक्सी वार का ईंधन बनाओ। इस ही जरनैल की पालिसी पे ISI द्वारा सब कारवाई की जा रही है।

3. इसी सिलसिले के चलते पहले करतारपुर कोरिडोर खोला जाता है, फिर पंजा सहिब  में आग लगाई जाती है, फिर ननकाना के गुरुघर के सेवादार की लड़की को मुसलमान अगवा करते है, जबरन उस से निकाह करते है। उस  के बाद सिक्खों को ननकाना से भगाने की बात करते हैं,  गुरुद्वारा पे पथराव करते हैं , और पाकिस्तान की इस अत्यंत कम-गिनती   कौम को खौफ़ज़दा  कर  के भारत की ओर पलायन के लिए प्रेरित करते हैं।

4  कहानी साफ़ है। पाकिस्तान की कोशिश है कि सिचुएशन को पेचीदा किया जाए, और सिक्खों को पाकिस्तान से भारत में खदेड़ा जाए। साथ में कुछ आतंकवादी भी भेजे जाएं। इस तरह माहौल खराब किया जाए और खालिस्तान का मामला एक बार पुनः गरमाया जाए।

 5.  इस सब सिय्यार नीति से जब हिंदुस्तान में  हिन्दू सिक्ख का मसला फ़िर गरमा जाए तो कोई बड़ी  फौजी कारवाई की जाए, और भारत वर्ष पे कोई बड़ा वार किया जाए। अंदर की बात केवल इतनी सी है, बाकी सब बवंडर की बात है।

6.  मैं इस तमाम मसले पर अपनी बाज़ दृष्टि को टिकाए हुए हूं।  पाकिस्तान को समझ लेना चाहिए कि उसके लिये कोई भि मिस-एडवेंचर  बहुत महंगा पड़ने वाला है।

7.   भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप के खित्ते में  अमेरिका के हुक्म के बिना पाकिस्तान के लिए  एक पत्ता भी नहीं हिल सकता, जब कि इस के विपरीत भारत, जब जो चाहे कर लेने की स्थिति में है, क्यों कि अमरीका अब कि भारत के साथ है, याद है ना मोदी और ट्रंप की जफी। 

8.  हां, चिंता की बात यदी कोई है तो वह यह है कि मधयप्रदेश की कोंग्रेस सरकार किस वजह से आबाद-गार सिक्ख समुदाय को उखाड़ रही है। यह दुखद है। क्या कमलनाथ  इन सिक्खों को, जिन्होंने ने अपनी जी-तोड़ मेहनत से जंगलों को खेतों में बदल दिया, उन्हे पुनः विस्थापित कर शरणार्थी बनाना चाहता है ? क्या कमलनाथ और कांग्रेस का सिक्खों पे किए गए 1984 के ज़ुल्म से जी नहीं भरा?

9   दूसरी ओर  पुरी में मन्दिर के इर्दगिर्द कि इंक्रोचमेंट हटाने के चलते, कुछ सिखों द्वारा इसे नासमझी के चलते,  गुरुद्वारा तोड़ने का मामला बना कर दिखाया जा रहा है। 

10.  कोई शक नहीं की गुरु नानक ओडिसा के पुरी मन्दिर गए थे। उन की याद में इक छोटा सा गुरुद्वारा स्मृति स्मारक के रूप में भी स्थापित था। लेकिन इस का मतलब यह हरगिज़ नहीं होना चाहिए,  की नानक साहिब के पुरी दौरे के स्मृति स्मारक को लोहे और सीमेंट  की बड़ी सी बिल्डिंग से ढक दिया जाए,  जो गुरुद्वारा कम, और कोई  गेस्ट हाउस या पुजारी वर्ग के लिए  निवास स्थान ज्यादा लगे। यहां सिक्खों को गुरु द्वारे की बात करने की जगह, पुरी मन्दिर की हेरिटेज भव्यता को पुनः स्थापित करने पे ज्यादा केंद्रित होना चाहिए, और श्री नानक के स्मृति स्मारक को स्मृति स्मारक तक ही सीमित रखने पे केंद्रित रहते हुए, सद्भावना पूर्व, स्मृति स्मारक की पुनः स्थापना, और मन्दिर परिसर की पुरातन छवी को स्थापित करने में सहयोग देना चाहिए।

11.  बात जब तक  सिकलीगर सिक्खों को प्रताड़ित करने की ना की जाए, या शिलांग में सिख विरोधी कार्यवाही जैसे कांड इत्यादि  की बात न की जाए, तो बात अधूरी रहेगी।

12.   इन  सभी दुखद परिस्थितियों के कारण, जो दरअसल  भारत विरोधी, शान्ती विरोधी, विकास विरोधी और सिक्ख विरोधी खोखली सोच और नीच राजनीतिक सीय्यार बाजियों से ज्यादा कुछ भी नहीं,   सिक्ख अलग-थलग तो अवश्य महसूस करेंगे, लेकिन सहज और ईमानदार कोशिश के चलते यह सब सुगमता से निपटाया जा सकता है।

13.   ठीक है, सब ज़ख्म भर ही जाते हैं, लोग फ़िर जी उठते हैं,   लेकिन कमल नाथ की कांग्रेस  सरकार भी वही सब  कर रही लगती है जो पाकिस्तान की सरकार कर रही है। 

14.  किसी के साथ दुश्मनी और द्वेष रखने से इतना भी याराना ठीक नहीं, क्यों कि यदि स्थिति को हल्के में लिया गया, तो सभी के लिए और भी दुखद परिस्थितियों का निर्माण हो सकता है। केवल अनुमान पे परिणाम निर्मित करने की विधि को छोड़ कर  हकीकत का संज्ञान लेना सभी के लिए बेहतर होगा।

🚩Truth LOUD and CLEAR about ISLAM.🚩@ ✒GBG⚔

1.  As a writer, I have always upheld truth and justice. It may amount to criticising  our government, our system, any social flaws or any religion.  I have been posting my views on flaws across board in the same spirit.

2. Thus when I raised questions about  Islamic concepts, some friends raised their eyebrows and asked me as on what premises I base my objections to Islam ?

3.   I  must point out here itself that I have nothing against Indian muslims,  and I respect the Ganga-Jamuna tehzeeb, but please do not forget that Ganga-Jamuna tehzeeb is a synergy of Sufi Islam and Sanaatan Hindu parampara.  Also  we can  not forget that this Ganga-Jamuna culture is the outcome of  tolerant and helpless Hindu spirit and a ruthless advent of Islamic sword in our sub-continent. So long was the suppression of non-islamic Faith's in India, that 10 generations of  Sikh Gurus had to tirelessly fight Islam with their pen aswellas sword, and sacrificed their families, themselves and countless sikhs, to put an end to the nuisance of Islamic dominance.

4.  What is so wrong about Islam that even people like  me feel forced to spell them out? 

5.  Well, the cardinal sin of Islam is, that it takes off from a premise of being fully and finally perfect. Its followers have accepted this flawed paradigm, and as a result refuse to introspect their own flaws while finding a million flaws in other world religions.

6.  This singular flaw alone, is so magnanimous that the followers of Islam have indulged, in mass murders, only to force others to accept their point of view.

7.   Is it an ignorable flaw I ask my critics ? No ladies and gentlemen, it is in fact an unparalleled crime against humanity and the paradox is, it still continues.

8.  I say it verily that  Islam is basically flawed in its major concepts.  Although I still give it the  benefit of doubt for being so,  as Islsm emerged as a religion and social order in an highly uncivilised society, saturated with greed  jealousy, and malice.

9.  I am ready to overlook the flaws in Islam  because of the geographical, demographical, cultural and other conditions in which it was born, but that can not be an excuse to absolve its followers of never having looked beyond their own closet.

10.   I am not being overtly critical of a religion followed by many of my friends but my candid observation is rather  indicative of the fact that some truly enlightened people within Islam need to revisit its core values and concepts to realign it.

11.  Technically speaking Islam was conceptualised and created in a desert, for ill cultured,  rival polytheistic tribals, with a wild and violent streak, by one of them, that is Mohammad  (PBUH).

12.  The aim was to unite these tribals, tame them and drive some sense in to them by giving them a regimen to live by.

13.  So he created some extremely stringent and harsh laws and lifestyles to bring order to a disorderly desert society. So far so good but the problem started when Islam was put in to a time freezer by its followers and then spread by them beyond the Arab deserts.

14.   The preachers of Islam were and are not only intolerant of non-Muslims, or any other alternate way of life,  but they were and are also intolerant to any change and evolution within their own religion it self.

15.  To bring home a point for my non muslim readers, muslims or momins are those who have agreed to be followers of Prophet. Kafirs are those who have not as yet done so,  and kafir murtads are those who have been momins once, but have then decided to move on, or in other words, they are the apostates.

16.   Some rules created by Prophet were forceful conversions of non Muslim tribals  to Islam, but to do so he ended up creating an extremely flawed system of social order.  In simple words he advocated death for Kafirs who refuse to be momins  and death for kafir murtaads or apostates.

17.  I have strong objections to this and also to his concepts on  social positioning and justice for women.

18.  Many of the precedences and laws of Mohammad's philosophy are proving to be misfits in the modern society, where people have  gone much past the Arabia of 1500 years ago. For example Hijab.

19.  Women are working as doctors, nurses, air hostesses  and soldiers and in hundreds of other professions.  Neither the hijab is practical for them, nor is it fair for them to be treated as commodities, slaves and objects of sex alone.  Please refer to Sura 70- aayat 30 of Quran.

20.  Then there is a cardinal sin being committed by followers of Islam in converting non-muslims in to Muslims. Tragically, this is not only being carried out as a religious duty,  but in an idiotic hope and promise of rewards,  in an after-life in  so called Jannat or an imagined Firdaus.

21.   How can it be possible to carry-on  rubbing concepts of any religion or lifestyle on others, concepts that have outlived their utility. Today millions of people want to live free of any or all old religions, as the modern men and women have outgrown the need or necessity to belong to any religion.

22.  People feel that for living a life governed by ethics and morality no religion is required.

24.  Also I must add,  that in millions of conversions violence has been the key as far as Islam is concerned.  Sword was justified to be used against munqirs  and Kafir murtads of desert of Arabia, by Nabi but sadly it did not end their.

25.  This flawed concept of the founder of Islam is responsible for torture and death of millions of innocent people all across the globe just for being  non-muslims.

26.  Sikhism in India  evolved in to a martial race or religion  as a direct consequence of an armed rebellion against the repressive oppressive and intolerant policies of Muslim rulers, who all followed  the core concepts of Islam and its founder.

27.  Its a different chapter although, as to how a basically flawed  Manuvadi Hinduism, with it's staunch caste demands also contributed to emergence and spread of Sikhism.

28.   I think its time to think beyond any thing and every think that is oppressive and repressive for general public, exploitative of women, and generally regressive.

📿 क्या किसी भी वर्ण से सिक्खी का कोई खास रिश्ता है⁉🚩 @©.✒प्रेरक गुरु बलवन्त गुरुने⚔

📿 क्या किसी भी वर्ण से सिक्खी का कोई खास रिश्ता है⁉🚩 @©.✒GBG⚔

1.    इस प्रश्न का स्पष्ट, सच्चा और निष्पक्ष जबाब है, जी नहीँ, बिलकुल नहीं। इस में कोई शक नहीं कि, जब कश्मीरी ब्राह्मणों के अनुरोध पर, नौंवे नानक, श्री गुरु तेग बहादुर जी दिल्ली के सुल्तान को मिलने गए, और उन्हों ने धर्म परिवर्तन करने से इनकार करते हुए, अपने शीश का बलिदान दिया, तब से ब्राह्मण समाज के मन में नानक साहिब के सिखों के लिए  सन्मान बहुत बढ़ गया और  वह सिक्ख गुरु साहिबान के पक्के प्रशंसक बन गए।  लेकिन यह याद रहे, गुरु साहिब का बलिदान केवल ब्रह्मीणों के लिए नहीँ, बल्कि उन सभी के लिये था, जो दिल्ली की सल्तनत के ज़ुल्मो-जब्र से मज़हब के नाम पर कुचले जा रहे थे।

2.  यह उल्लेखनीय है कि, सिक्ख गुरुओं ने कभी वर्ण व्यवस्था को, जात पात को या क्लास डिस्टिंक्शन को बढ़ावा नहीं दिया। जिस के चलते खुद को उच्च वर्गीय कहलवाने वाले कुछ लोग गुरु साहिब से ख़फ़ा भी हुए, लेकिन गुरुओं ने इस बात की कोई परवाह नहीं की।  इन ख़फ़ा होने वालों में खुद को  उच्च वर्गीय सिक्ख कहने वाले कुछ महानुभाव भी थे।

3.  यह भी उल्लेखनीय है कि, सिक्ख 'तरीकत' सभी का मान सम्मान करने वाली राह है, जिस के गवाह हरिमंदिर के चार दरवाज़े  हैं, और यह भी, कि हरिमंदिर की नींव, गुरु अर्जुन देव जी द्वारा,  एक मुस्लिम सूफी पीर, साईं मियां मीर साहिब द्वारा रखवाई गयी।  यह भी नहीं झुठलाया जा सकता, कि गुरु गोबिंद साहिब ने वैरागी जोगी लछमण दास को न सिर्फ अपना सिक्ख बनाया, बल्कि  बाबा जी को खालसा फ़ौज का  चीफ़ कप्तान भी नयुक्त किया।

4.   दशम गुरु द्वारा बाबा बन्दा सिंह बहादुर को फ़ौजी लीडरशिप का सौंपना,  धर्म युद्ध का चीफ़ संचालक बनाना, और उस से भी कहीं पहले, गुरु नानक साहिब का गुरु-गद्दी को अपने पुत्रों को न सौंप कर, भाई लहना जी, यानि गुरु अंगद देव जी को सौंपना, इस चीज़ का भी प्रूफ़ है की, सिक्ख विचारधारा मैरिट को वैल्यू करती है तथा इस में भाई भतीजावाद के लिए कोई स्थान नहीं है। 

5.  याद रहे कि,  सिक्ख फ़ौज में भी, सभी मज़हब और इलाकों के फ़ौजी थे। यानी गुरु गोबिंद साहिब, और बाद में बन्दा बहादुर जी, और यहां तक की महाराज रंजीत सिंह की फ़ौज में भी, हिन्दू, मुसलमान और बाकी मज़हबों की सोच के फ़ौजी कार्यरत थे। पठानो की तो एक पूरी पलटन गुरु साहिब की फ़ौज में थी।  वैरागी सोच से जुड़े हुए भी अनेक लोगों ने गुरु साहिब का मरते दम तक साथ दिया।

6.  यानी कुल मिला कर, सिक्ख धर्म एक ऐसी विचार धारा से प्रेरित है, जो सभी को साथ ले कर चलने में विशवास रखता है।  यहाँ मसला सिक्ख हिन्दू या मुसलमान होने का नहीं, मसला है की कौन है जो सच्च के साथ खड़ा है।

7.  जो दुनिया के किसी भी कोने में, ज़ुल्म के ख़िलाफ़ आवाज़ उठाने का दम रखता हो, वह सिक्ख विचार धारा के क़रीब या साथ कहा जा सकता है, और वो जो सिर्फ मौका परस्ती, चाल बाज़ी, मक्कारी, सेल्फिशनेस, भृष्टाचार इत्यादि से प्रेरित हो, वह सिक्ख नहीँ हो सकता, चाहे वह 5 किलो का कड़ा, 50 मीटर लम्बी पगड़ी,  15 किरपानेँ,  खूब लंबे केस, और दर्जनों कंघे साथ ले कर चले, बिलकुल वैसे ही जैसे कोई व्यक्ति 10  किलो चन्दन के तिलक लगा कर और 100 जनेऊ डाल कर भी ख़ुद को शुद्ध ब्राह्मण नहीं कह सकता, जब तक की उस की प्रविर्ती शुद्ध,  ज्ञान पिपासु, दयालु, सभी में ब्रह्मस्वरूप ईश्वर को देखने वाली  न हो।

8.  सिक्खी, मन मन्दिर को हरिमंदिर बनाने का नाम है।  और हरिमंदिर, केवल एक मन्दिर नहीं, बल्कि एक फ़लसफ़ा है।  यानि  चारो दिशाओं में खुला दिल, जो सभी दिशाओं से आईडियाज़ को वेलकम करे, जिस में ताज़ी हवा का प्रवाह हो, एक ऐसा मन मन्दिर जो हरीमन्दिर की तरहं स्वच्छ जल, यानी स्वच्छ विचारों से घिरा हो,  और जहां संगत और पंगत और लंगर का कॉन्सेप्ट हो, यानी सब की बराबरी, सब का साथ, और सब का विकास की बात, सिर्फ एक जुमला नहीं, बल्कि एक जीवित और ज्वलन्त जीवनशैली हो।

9.  बहुत ही संक्षिप्त में कहूँ तो सिक्खी के मूल सिद्धान्त में दो बातें हैं। पहली तो यह की सिक्खी में न कोई रिज़र्वेशन है,  और न कोई डिस्क्रिमिनेशन।  दूसरा यह की सिक्खी दादागिरी करने में, या दादागिरी सहनेे,  दोनों ही में विशवास नहीं करती।  सिक्खी, यानी, सर्वत का भला,  चढ़धि कला, और  लॉग-लपेट से मुक्त, स्वतन्त्र ज़िन्दगी । इतना ही हो जाये तो बहुत।

10.  बाकी गुरुओं की और उन के सिक्ख योद्धाओं की कर्म-साधना पे नज़र डॉलें, तो यही कह सकता हूँ, ' बहुत कठिन है राह, इस पनघट की'। मित्रो, यह वह सौदा है, जो सिर दे कर भी अगर मिल जाए, तो समझो सामान सस्ते में मिल गया।

🚩📿 Why and How Guru Gobind Singh ji reached Nander, and then chose Baba Banda Bahadur Ji, over and above the others to carry forward his military mission.⚔🚩@ ✒ GBG⚔

🚩📿 Why and How Guru Gobind Singh ji reached Nander, and then chose Baba Banda Bahadur Ji, over and above the others to carry forward his military mission.⚔🚩@ ✒ GBG⚔

© Before we try and answer this  question, I would like to  talk about the Birth of Khalsa, as a prologue to my views on how Guru Gobind Singh Ji  reached Nanded, and ultimately why only Banda Bahadur was chosen as the Chief of Khalsa army. 

1.  Shri Guru Gobind Singh created Khalsa On 30th March 1699,  at Anandpur as he proclaimed that Khalsa is,  his and Akal Purakh's eternal child.  So this new creed of sikhs were proclaimed to be both saints aswellas soldiers.

2.  To give a never die spirit to these warriors, he created the concept of amrit (nectar),  for initiating the Khalsa. Amrit it self is very symbolic.

3.   Amrit  being prepared in a steel bowl, signifies  steel like strength in it.  Just like steel tempered by fire and ice, a spirit is tempered by adversity and joy, to the extent of transgression of spirit beyond physical pain.  Stirring water with a khanda or double-edged sword, is symbolic of the warrior spirit.

4.   In the process of Amrit preparation,  he asked Mata Sundari ji and Mata Saheb deva to add sugar, (Patasha) which were dropped into the vessel by them as  Guru Saheb stirred the Amrit.  Sweetness and gentleness of motherly spirit was thus added to the alchemy of steel.

5.  This was also symbolic of empowering the sikh women as  equal in status to men. Mata Sundari ji and Mata Saheb Deva  thus became the first Khalsa Women, but as Mata Saheb kaur, being the spiritual and platonic wife of Guru Saheb had been promised by Guru ji, that she would be the mother to his immortal child,  thus she was declared as the mother of Khalsa.

6.  This little introduction to the next part of this  post is necessary to establish, that after the creation of Khalsa, the Sikhs were firmly established  in the warrior tradition for ever. This also established that Guru Gobind Singh now on was a full fledged warrior rebel, for whom there is no turning back. A very strong message to his enemies that the fight shall continue till the very end.

7.   With this as background, the spiritual part of sikhism was for inner peace, good conduct for social harmony, but what became necessarily clear was that Sikhs will never take an enemy's attack lying down, in the name of spirituality, but rather the sikh spirituality from now on will, revolve around, prayer for peace but readiness for war, and knowledge of tactics of war and strategic thinking shall now on be essentially a  sikh necessity.

8. Lets now turn our attention to other facts. Guru ji, was repeatedly cheated by his enemies, and ultimately his two elder sons were martyred in war, as two younger ones bricked alive in Sirhind. Guru ji however fought on relentlessly, and also continously walked the way of peace by first offering peace and treaty to his adversaries.

9. As a result, he wrote a letter to Aurangzeb, who was old and tired by now, and after reading the Zafarnama, he also repented in his heart, all that he and his governor of Sirhind had done to Guru Sahib's children and his extended family, his Khalsa warriors.

10.  Thus a spirit of making peace with Sikhs arose in Dehli Darbaar. As a result Aurangzeb after having  received the letter(Zafarnama),  decided to personally meet Guru Gobind Singh ji. Ahmadnagar was decided to be the rendezvous,  but the meeting could not fructify as the Mughal Emperor died before that.

11.  After Aurangzeb died, a succession struggle immediately began between his sons. Crooks as the Mughals were, they were infamous for two things, fratricide,  and  not keeping their word.  A war for succession ensued and the success of becoming Aurangzeb's  successor came to Bahadur Shah,  and strange as it might seem, but it was with the Guru ji's blessings that this man got his throne.

 12. How all this came to be, well  Aurangzeb died in Deccan, and at that time,  Bahadur Shah, his eldest son was in Afghanistan. His younger son Muhammad Azim was with his father, who, taking advantage of the situation,  assumed command of the Imperial army, aswellas took possession of the treasury and declared him self to be the emperor of Hindustan.

13.  Bahadur Shah decided to fight for his father's throne, but in the given circumstances, his brother was better equipped. Bahadur Shah had to look for allies. Having heard of  Guru Gobind Singh's warriors, and their die hard spirit, and being in circumstances where help could not come from those, used to saluting the rising sun, Bahadur shah requested for  Guru ji's help, thus Guru ji put his forces with Bahadur Shah, on the condition that after Bahadur Shah becomes the emperor, Nawab of Sirhind would be handed over to him.

14.   When this was agreed to,  Guru ji sent his best army under command of Bhai Dharam Singh to help Bahadurshah. As a result, a fierce war of succession was fought, in which Muhammad Azim's forces were defeated, Prince Muhammad Azim was killed and Bahadur Shah became the Emperor of Delhi.

15. To thank and honour the Guru, Emperor invited him to Agra. Guru ji accepted the invitation, and was received with the honour due to an ally. 

16.  Guru ji was given a Khillat, (a robe of honour)  and jewellery worth  60 thousand rupees, in form of a bejeweled scarf.  Guru ji was also requested to accept the Emperor's hospitality, which Guru Ji accepted, as herein lay an opportunity,  to set  things right in Punjab.

17.  Guru ji is said to have stayed with the Emperor from July 1707 to November 1707.  Bahadur Shah was informed of all the wrongs done by Vazir Khan, the governor of Punjab and Sirhind,  and he promised to punish Vazir Khan and cronies.

18.  However, Bahadur Shah had other plans. He did not want to disturb the apple cart of Sirhind, as at that time,  the Kachhvaha Rajputs  of Rajputana, and his brother Kam Bakhsh were his immediate headaches, he wanted to deal with.

19.  Being a clever man, Emperor asked Guru ji to accompany him, to Rajputana and Marath-wada. This had an effect on the complete campaign, as Rajputs and most of others, had heard of Guru's sacrifices and held him in high esteem,  also his being instrumental in putting the Emperor on throne had a huge effect, so Rajput Kings, took the way of peace, but When in Deccan, Bahadur Shah demanded Guru Ji to engage in direct conflict with emperor's adversaries.  Guru Ji refused.

20.  By now, on this long march, which took many months to cover, some sikh mercenaries, were more willing to be with the mughal army, for better wages and for better share in loot of battles and raids. Barring a few, who were inherently loyal  to Guru Ji,  others had engaged themselves in the business of Emperor.

21.  Some were with Guru ji  in hope of gaining the trophy of Gurudom in the end, as Guru Gobind Singh ji had lost his immediate family in war against oppression. Guru Ji's sharp eye was seeing it all.

22.  By now, Guru ji had also realized that going back on one's word and cheating,  were an essential state-craft practiced by the mughals.

23.  The Emperor Bahadur Shah believed that if not engaged in some other business, Guru ji,  might take advantage of his absence from Delhi, he might gather his forces and start a war against Vazir Khan , which could result in Sikhs growing in to a bigger power, and ultimately challenging Delhi.  Being one of the mughals, who were used to killing their own blood for women and wealth, Bahadur Shah's distrust in Guru Sahib was a part of his naturally conditioned upbringing and legacy.

24.  Emperor  wanted Guru Gobind Singh ji,  both as an ally in his battles, and also out of Punjab, both at the same time, but this was not agreeable to Guru Ji. By now Guru Sahib had been let down by his own people aswellas others, and he wanted to take a break. Bahadur Shah too, by now had  taken the wagers away from sikh army, and was happy to part ways with Guru Ji in a tactfully clever way.

25. Thus as they travelled by the sides of Godavari,  at a place called Nander, Guru ji and his few loyalists camped, to rest. I am sure that by now, Bahadur Shah also would have had communicated his unwillingness to honour his commitment on Sirhind as willingly, as he had promised to. This must have been heart breaking for Guruji.

26.  This was the state of affairs, when Guru Gobind Singh ji happened to meet, an experienced hunter, an ex mercenary having fought for Maratha Sambha ji, a practising yogi and spiritualist,  Bairagi Madho Das, who listened to Guru Sahib's story, empathised with him, and as a result not only converted to be his Khalsa, but even vowed to avenge the wrongs done to Guruji. Around this point in time,  Guru ji was stabbed by an assain, commissioned by Vazir Khan. His wounds were stitched by an english doctor sent by Bahadur Shah, but the wounds reopened. Rest  is History.

27.  Why only Banda Bahadur was chosen by Guru sahib, was because Guru ji, in these unique circumstances, must have found in Banda,  all that he desired in a Khalsa leader, that is intelligence, strength, stamina, spiritual awakening, soldierly traits, integrity, honesty and trustworthiness, some what more, than others around him. There must have been some great warriors around Guru Sahib, but the unique package of Saint Soldier, as desired by Guru Sahib could only be found in Baba Banda Singh Bahadur, and then, who could  have been a better Judge of circumstances, other than Guru Gobind Singh Ji him self.

28.  Thus he gave the command of the Khalsa to BBSB Ji, as at the same time the temporal power for community decisions  was vested in Panj Piaras, and also at the same time the Spiritual authority over the Sikhs was vested in SGGS ji.

29. To understand it in essence, we must understand that Shri Guru Gobind Singh ji was not a battle hungry war monger. He was a man of peace who believed in raising the sword as a means to establish peace, and not as an end in its own self. Thus he handed over the reins of his Spiritual Mission to SGGS ji, his Social and Community responsibility to Panj Piaras, and his immediate military mission of  challenging, containing and punishing, where necessary, the unlimited, despotic and exploitative  power of emperors and other rulers to Baba Banda Singh Ji Bahadur. In my opinion it was a fair division of labour. The legacy lives on, even today,  although not essentially as desired by Dashmesh, but his glory lies in the fact that he established the institutions of sikhism in the right spirit.

WHAT is SO WRONG with Indian establishment's handling of Canadian Prime minister's visit, and the Sikh identity❓

WHAT is SO WRONG with Indian establishment's handling of Canadian Prime minister's visit, and the Sikh identity❓

Here is a candid take.

1.   What could have been a usual visit to Taj Mahal and Golden Temple, was turned sour by Indian establishment's indifference, even before Justin Trudeau had reached India.

 2. Prime Minister Namo rather than greeting a foreign head of state at the airport, in his usual flamboyant style,  decided to snub his Canadian counterpart, which was shockingly sad. How can the PM forget that Canada has been a key alliance partner in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some one some where failed to give a proper brief to the honourable PM, or else such a diplomatic faux pas, is unheard of in the modern Indian political and diplomatic history.

3. As a result, the Canadian PM's visit to India, which  otherwise could have been a  pleasant diplomatic trip,   was unnecessarily given an ugly twist.

4. The only reason  for this complete messup seems to be that,  JT was accompanied by his powerful and popular Sikh Ministers, Sohi and Sajjan. Was it that it was too difficult to digest the fact,  for the rotten royal indian elite, mistakenly considered as great masters in diplomacy, that  a few ordinary middleclass men, who migrated to Canada, today stand tall as leading Canadian representatives, or is it that Indian establishment has a problem with Sikhs, in general?.

5.   Now The question that arises is, that why is it, that the Indian establishment has a problem with Sikhs? 
Well may be because those writing the briefs for establishment bosses, are not mature enough to see beyond a fixed template,  and continue to  see any demand by Sikhs,  for punishing those responsible for the anti-Sikh pogrom in 1984,  as a sign of separatism.

6.   Let me define the word Pogrom for my friends A Pogrom is a  riot aimed at persecution or massacre of a particular ethnic or religious group. It was basically meant to be used for Jew massacre by Nazis, but after 84 Pan-India massacre, and 2002 Gujrat massacre, the word Pogrom has had,  a very strong muslim and sikh connotation aswell. Period.

7. The Indian establishment, via its mainstream media, and social media  has established that Justin Trudeau is too close to Sikhs.
My simple question is, so what is it that is wrong about that ?
 The establishment has rather chosen to use the word Sikhs and  phrase 'Sikh Sepratists' interchangeably,  as if all Sikhs are sepratists, or rather as if that is what the establishment would like them to be. This is not in the right spirit.

8.  Establishment is also unnecessarily worried,  about the growing international  influence of  Sikh community. Their actions of late have communicated as if a rise of Sikhs internationally,  poses a threat to India’s unity.

9.  Let me assure the bosses at the very top, that all such claims are hyperboled by double intelligence agents, or untrained job hungry moles, who work as spooks for India, but in fact do not even understand the basics of detective and investigative intelligence work. These bastards, keep on collecting rubbish and garbage from foreign media, and keep sending heaps of it to RAW desks in Delhi, who master in preparing some of the stinkiest briefs to keep their political masters awake, by lighting up fires beneath their blessed bottoms, just to keep themselves in cushy appointments, in and around the capital.

10. To add to this complete chaos, we have no dearth of,  mean, shallow,  opportunist Indian politicians, who on one hand want to see Modi, BJP and Sangh, trashed in the dustbin of time, as soon as possible, and also on the other hand,  they want to lick the shoes of today's political masters, being more than willing to bash Sikhs, christians or muslims, only to be able to get a politically correct selfie,  with the bosses that be.

11.  What has been worrisome for thinkers like me is the narrative fed to supreme political bosses of India , by those who regularly brief them on international politics.

12.  Most of the times these very senior desk managers go on fooling their political bosses,  erecting scarecrows in such political fields,  where none are required.  Being super fluff factories,  these piles infested sour-arsed  fake super-spies go on  building a narrative, that the King's ears want to hear, or are used to hearing

13. One such hot narrative that has been dominating the Indian politico-strategic-intelligence circles is,  that Sikhs are by nature rebels, sepratists and anti-nationals, who desire to breakaway from India.

14.  As a result of this narrative being continously fed to political bosses, some people have made political careers out of it. Some rose to be considered as  India's James Bonds, but in summary, they have all made an arse out of India's political bosses. These very folks got  Mrs. G  to messup  a complete community, resulting in a communal genocide and her own assassination. Same breed of opportunist politicians and false fire alarm spies are busy misdirecting Mr. M aswell.

15.  As a result, the Indian government, views  Sikhs in  Canada, U.K, and the U.S.A, getting into positions of power as a threat to India's unity and integrity.

16.    Let me assure you ladies and gentlemen, that nothing could be farther from the truth,  than the narrative of Sikh Diaspora, being essentially  anti-India.

17. The fact is that Sikh diaspora's contribution to economic upliftment of their brethren back home is commendable, and also at the same time most of them are more than happy to be considered, and referred to as proud and hardworking Indians.

18.  The basic fault lies in the fact that the Indian establishment sees any or all demands for justice in case of anti-Sikh 84 riots, as a sign of separatism, which is not true.

19.  The Indian establishment is biting the wrong bait by doing so. Undoubtedly, the Sikh diaspora are quite attached to their religious identity and willing to speak out, but that does not mean that they are separatists. 

20. Successive Indian governments on the other hand have failed to balm the wounds of 84. If the present government takes initiative in assuaging anger over 84,  the Sikh separatist narrative can be forgotten for once and for all, as the Sikhs being by nature progressive, are more interested in building a bright future for themselves, rather than digging out old graves, as also at the same time, I must add here, no community can tolerate the desecration of its dead, which is true for Sikhs too.

21.  I think,  the time has come for  the indian intelligence hounds, and diplomatic doves  to separate the two demands,  rather than seeing them as parts of one narrative. There is an urgent need to view the  demand for punishing those guilty for 84,  and  balming the victims on one hand, as removed and separated from a  demand for a separate sikh state .

22.  Also the complete Sikh diaspora must not be dubbed as separatists. They should rather be felicitated  for their international achievements and contribution to this region's glory and their contribution to the modern world as teachers, soldiers, doctors, engineers, pilots, sailors and above all, honest hard working men and women.

© DO SIKHS WANT 🚩KHALISTAN❓ OR THE 🚩WHOLE WORLD🚩 ? The choice is theirs to make. ✒GBG⚔

© DO SIKHS WANT KHALISTAN OR THE WHOLE WORLD ? The choice is their's to make. ✒GBG⚔

1. Quite recently as the Canadian Prime Minister and Defense Minister were visiting India, the issue of Khalistan suddenly caught the headlines once again, as also the issue was deliberately flared up, to raise some bogey calls, for a false witch hunt.

2.  I was suddenly reminded of the Raj days, when to please the rulers that be, when ever a raj dignitary visited an Indian state, a tiger hunt would be organised. In case there were no tigers in the local jungle, an old tiger would be trapped from a far off place, encaged and put up in a place in the local jungle, and then a hunt would be organised. In plain words, the aim was to build excitement around the tiger hunt, and thus divert the attention of one and all, from real issues.

3.  In Punjab, the Khalistan issue today,  is like a non existent tiger, which is some how made to come alive, as and when required by the politicians.

4.  There are demons of drugs, unemployment,  farmer loans, farmer suicides and cancer, which  need more attention and energy, than bringing alive the ghost of Khalistan, and doing the nautanki of tackling it.

5.  Canadians came calling on India. So what, if the delegation had as its part, a very powerful Canadian Sikh presence, in form of Canada's Defense minister and many other Canadians, with  sikh  or hindu Indian roots?

6.  The fact is that they came, visiting India as Canadians, and being Sikhs their sentimental attachment with Golden temple, is quite natural.

7.  The Indian intelligence setup, and their political bosses, built up a false fire for no rhyme or reason, stalling regular diplomacy in the process. Undoubtedly the Indian state could have shown more maturity in dealing with the Canadians.

8.  In terms of a bogey call for an independent Punjab, let us for once and for all understand  that the true sikh dominance of punjab, ended a long time back in history. 

9.  Today even in a shrunken Punjabi Suba, in the last term the Akalis could not form a government without going in with an alliance with BJP, and in the recent one the Akalis representing Sikhs in alliance with Hindu BJP, lost to the secular congress, and AAP parties. This speaks volumes on how the demography of punjab sits today.

10.  Thus  we  must realistically see that, a Sikh Punjab, as it was historically,   is today,  a dissolved reality.

11.  A lot of water has flown under the bridges of the five rivers, since Ranjit Singh's Raj.

12.  Pepsu got reduced, and then an already shrunk Punjab, was further shrunk as a result of a irrational demand for a Punjabi suba.

13.  AS a result, Himachal and Harayana became independent of a larger punjab, rather than Punjab becoming independent of the Indian Federation.

14.  In brief, a huge state of the Indian Union, got shrunk in to a pygmy little entity.

15.  Then once again,  the whole drama of independence for sikhs was enacted, by state sponsored actors leading a troupe of half educated or uneducated emotional fools.

16.  The drama was played out, with its murderous music, with many acts full of murders of innocents, pulled out of roadways buses, followed by brutality of extra judicial killings by black cats, labourer blood bath around SYL,  and much more,  culminating in bloody Op Blue Star and even bloodier Op Black thunder.

17. All this and more tragic things were experienced, during that black period. Murder of Finance minister, Sirdard Balwant Singh, murder of Mr. Sekri, Chief engineer SYL, and Sirdard A.S. Aulakh, the deputy Chief of SYL, and killing of numberless youth as a result of kharkoovaad and counter police action , ultimately proved a great loss to Punjab and Punjabiyaat at large, and sikhs in particular.

18.  Then we can not forget that the biggest cause of downfall of the Sikhs has always been the Sikhs themselves. Satguru Nanak's true way has never truly been followed.

19. This is clear from the fact that today, the Mazhabi Sikhs, the Ramdasiyaas, the Jatt Sikhs, the Ramgarhiyaas, and so many others are so divided amongst themselves that they have different community based gurudwaras in the same village.
Forget the Sahajdharis, they are not even allowed to vote for SGPC elections.

20.  So my question is, that where is a Sikh Punjab? Sorry honourable friends, such an entity stands long since dissolved, sadly so although.

21.  Let me verily proclaim that the only possibility of a K State is after the 3rd WW, if at all any such struggle takes place, which only the Akaal can see or say. People like me wish that no such war ever takes place, and that the progressive spirit of science, should now takeover the unscientific, emotional , faith based,  belief and passion driven spirit of any and all religions.

22.  Some people even talk of a referendum, and some of an armed struggle. Both these are incorrect paths. 

23.  Referendum is not possible in India or other similar politico-socio spaces, because it is just not practical. People are emotional fools, who do not understand the ground realities.

24. Where the masses are unable to choose a good leader for them selves, what will be the result of a referendum ? Certainly a destructive and unrealistic one.

25. The way of the armed rebellion is only possible in a given time and space, which is neither seen in near future, nor advisable by any standards of sanity.

26. Even if  a nation like KS comes up, who will run it, what laws will they follow ? Suddenly one odd lobby would ask all women to cover their heads, or only wear long hair and beard,  and so forth and so on.

27.  All  talk on KS is nothing but an effort to shake the Indian Apple cart, and let me assure you, all this could be very counter productive for Sikhs.

28. So, in this complete irrational tamasha being politically built up to fool the world, the Sikhs, the punjabis and the Indian nation, I only see drama loaded with  some comedy but loads of tragedy.

29.  Although I have another path to offer aswell, a path of peace and progress.

30.  In my humble but very considered opinion, the Sikhs should work towards emerging, as an international cosmopolitan community, which is more focussed on overall wellness of the progressive humanity, rather than being interested in controlling a small territory, to call their own.

31.  Sikhs must develop an outlook where they belong to the whole big world, and the world belongs to them.

32.  In my well considered opinion, Sikhs are an extremly progressive and adaptive community, respectful and sensitive to different cultures, and in light of it they must focus on their universalism to grow and cherish.

33.  Today,  A sikh being the army chief of Singapore, a sikh being a Malaysian police chief of Jails, a sikh being Defense Minister of Canada, a sikh being a Mayor in America, a Sikh having been india's President, a Prime minister and Indian army chief are much bigger acheivements, than some Tota singh,  Maina Kaur, or a Langham Singham being ministers in Punjab.

34. Going by all this, Khalistan is too narrow a demand in today's Sikh Perspective.

35.  Rather than drumming up a call for Khalistan, the Sikhs should drum up a call for being made world citizens and continue to move forward as international world contributors, builders, warriors and leaders.

36.  With the sikh philosophy of universal brotherhood and their undying zeal for serving humanity, Sikhs should in today's context be working for and fighting for wold peace, and the whole world shall be theirs, and they shall thus belong to the whole world.

🚩Is India suffering from Sikh Phobia, or are they simply building it up once again❔✒GBG⚔

©🚩Is India suffering from Sikh Phobia, or are they simply building it up once again❔✒GBG⚔

1. I will begin by verily proclaiming, as if from atop Mount. Sinai, that Politicians have no religion, but they repeatedly use the handle of religion to churn trouble to suite their shallow goals.

2. Sikhs, the common Sikhs got battered in 84, for no fault of their's and were made to feel like 3rd rate citizens inspite of having rendered first grade services to our nation. Ordinary Muslims, going around with living their ever so common lives were similarly battered in Gujrat.  This was tragic, and unluckily the phenomena does not seem to be dying.

3.  Mrs Gandhi's assassination by her own guards, while staying in service of  our late PM, and using their duty hours, wearing their duty uniform, using their duty  weapons and duty ammunition,  to carry out her assassination was unethical,  unbecoming, tragic and uncalled for under any given circumstances, but also at the same time, an instigated mass violence  initiated against the sikh identity as a reaction was equally tragic, criminal, unethical, unjust and uncalled for.

4.  Some people are talking about those dark times to be forgotten. I have seen all that from close quarters. Having lost my dearest Sikh family member to terrorist bullets, having lost my good friends to the anti-sikh mob violence, how can any one who has seen all this so up close, ever forget all the madness that prevailed .

5.  The anger in any sikh, against the mob violence of 84 is natural, and singularly the most isolating factor for Sikhs.

6.  Last but not the least, let me be amply clear that all Sikhs are not Indians and all Indians are not hindus. Hindus as well as Sikhs and muslims are citizens of many different countries across globe.

7. Thus,  If a Canadian Sikh, comes to visit the Golden temple, and  says some thing, why should his statement be used to drum up a false battle against sikh youth in punjab, as if it is not a simple expression of regret, but a trumpet call for re-igniting a separatist movement in Punjab. This most simply put is  sheer  politics.

8.  In light of this, let our present honourable Prime minister, Shri N. Modi, not be guided by political foxes of Punjab politics, just like the Late Madam Prime minister was. Because  when the very man on top is politically prejudiced against imaginary circumstances prevailing in a nation's border state, some very vicious sets of circumstances, may get set in motion, to a great disadvantage of Punjab, aswellas India, both.

9. Let Harjit Sajjan say and express what he feels, why our governments should behave and act as if he represents the sepratists, rather than canada as a nation,  and then let the brown hounds and black cats out, announcing  a new witch hunt. Do the politicians think that people are so dumb.

10. Canadian Defense minister is only speaking his mind out as a sikh. Let him do that and go back home in peace, and so should we, go on minding our own business.Period.

11. Treating Harjit as a sikh rather than the Defense minister of Canada and treating Justin Trudo as Harjit's friend rather than the Prime minister of Canada was, is and will remain  a diplomatic blunder, a political blooper, an absolute boo-boo, a major  faux pas,  an international goof up, a political wisdom lapse,  a huge international slip and stumble  on part of India.

12.  Afterall, did our own PM not visit Palestine recently, and has the ISIS and Lashkar and other radicals not have, or have had  relations with PLO ?

13.  But in all this hobnobbing and pull and push, if a new strategy to brewup fresh trouble, in already battered punjab is being planned by our own politicians, they better be damned and warned at the same time. They shall miserably fail this time.

14.   How can Canada's Defense minister suddenly become so dangerous for India, or is it just that he happens to be a sikh, and in that case, is India suffering from Sikh-phobia, or are they all just making it up. In both the cases, its stupid, dumb and unfounded.

© Can Sikhs forget 1984❔❔@ ✒ GBG ⚔

© Can Sikhs  forget 1984❔@ ✒ GBG ⚔

1.  It is surprising that some people expect the Sikhs to forget 1984. My plain rebuttal is, Why should they forget 1984?  Yes getting past 84, getting over it is a possibility, but this must be allowed to happen over a period of time.

2.  The healing must take place, but to ask a community not to talk about the wounds, or not show their scars is not only irrational, but psychologically not right aswell.

3. 1984 is a tragic benchmark year in Sikh history, as the common sikhs forming the general public, the innocent traders and farmers, employees of indian state, even the Sikhs serving in the indian army, travelling in uniform,  were massacred, looted, their women raped,  men and children mercilessly butchered and burnt alive on the streets of India, for no fault of theirs.

4.  Let's not forget that Sikhs are a history based  community. They do not trace their roots to some mythical story, but they have their  roots in real time and space in recent history, and their history is embedded in war, sacrifice, suffering and turmoil.

5.  We can not undermine  that Sikhs believe in recording their history. It is traditional and can not be stopped, thus 1984 can not be forgotten or wished away.

6.  It is fully agreed that the fortification of Harimandir sahib complex was wrong. We all know that  the dark period of  terrorism, and the killing of innocent hindus and Sikhs by sikh and other terrorists during this time was unjust, unethical and criminal, but the Indian state too, is equally responsible for the whole mess.

7.  Indian state  messed up the show by blasting the GT complex, on Baisakhi day, thereby killing hoardes of pilgrims along with the kharkoos,  holed in and around the Golden temple complex..

8.  Verily, I can say, that here were not just one, but many other alternative options  available with the Indian state to sort out the issue of Punjab terrorism, but the state decided to use the most unsophisticated and raw strategy to sort  out the issue through a historical fiasco, infamous today as Op. Blue Star.

 9.  The whole handling of situation, politically, diplomatically, and  via forces was pathetic. It was a cauldron where too many cooks were in competition, stirring and screwing up the same dish, trying to make small  look huge, and via that seeking undue rewards and awards, and just about messing it up. ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਕਹੀਏ ਤਾਂ, 'ਅੰਨੀ ਪੀਸ ਰਹੀ ਸੀ, ਅਤੇ ਕੁੱਤੇ ਚੱਟ ਰਹੇ ਸੀ।'

10.  Personally I very much criticise the state's handling of the situation, as much as much as I condemn the fortification of Harimandir complex by Kharkoos. They too could have carried the battle much ahead, and in a more professional manner,  if they had a better strategist to show them the true way of the guerrillas.

9.  Coming back to forgetting 84, the Sikhs, who have a tradition of maintaining a recorded history, can not tear away the pages that register the happenings of 1984 from their historical records.

10.  Yes sir, it is too unfair to ask the Sikhs to forget 1984, but still, moving ahead, forgiving the sins of all the demons of that era, and looking forward to a  better era  is an option.

11. Undoubtedly, healing and correction is possible, but this needs being done with empathy in mind, ensuring dignity to a proud and a martial community, and not dirty politics.

13.  Why the voice of dissent keeps rising from as far as canada repeatedly is,  because most of the Sikhs settled in Canada, belong to that generation of Sikhs, which has been directly effected by  the mishaps of 1984. So asking them to forget it all as if it is so easily forgettable,  is only adding salt to their wounds.

12.  What is actually required is a straightforward apology, as many times as possible, and a sincere healing touch.

13.  Yes this is also true that the Sikhs too need to move forward. History is never the place to get one's feet stuck in. The community must forgive and move forward, as well as keep looking for new paradigms for the community to emerge as a progressive international community.

14.  I dont think that the general public in canada or India want to carryforward the bitterness. Most of the people want to give peace and harmony a fair chance.

15.  Having said this, why is it that the issue pops up time and again?

16. Well,  the main villains in the story were, and still are the politicians, who continue to raise the bogey call of sikh separatism.

17.  In India  it is done  to divert public attention from the more  real and pressing issues of development, farmer suicides, drugs, cancer,  law and order, and other issue, and in Canada, it is  done only to ensure that the politicians  keep the Sikh votebank on their side, with or without the call for Khalistan. It doesn't really matter much to a Canadian politician. Period.

May better sence prevail.

🚩Rising height of Sikh Flag and the declining height of Sikh Standards.🚩

@ 📿Motivational Guru Balwant Gurunay.⚔

The Sikhs are in news all over, and its good for the community. Sikhs are becoming a part of international governments, joining armies of many developed nations and rising to other important political and adminstrative  positions internationally, but as on one hand, the religion is evolving in its cosmopolitan avatar, the dark forces of superstition and irrational belief on the other hand, are refusing to wane in sikhism.

The real reason for this is that majority of Sikhs are moving away from the true path of 'Sikh Masters' and falling in to the traps, forbidden by Masters.

Greatest things about all Sikh Gurus is that they were against superstiouos beliefs, because they believed in and propagated Truth alone, which directly transfers to an intelligent, diligent, honest and bold lifestyle. An honest and Jujhaaru lifestyle.

Guru Nanak preached every thing that was rational alone. He had cticised the way of Chamtkari Sadhus and Yogis as falsehood and  superfluous. 

Gurus had also at the same time, preached against all Brahnimcal Karamkand and ritualistic  drama.

GURU Gobind Singh ji, the most beloved Sikh Guru strictly believed in 'Brave and Truthful Humans', and encouraged both the purity of action and intent.

The complete saga of Sikh Martyrdom from the 5th Guru to 10th master and his immediate family and loyal followers, carried forward by Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and his warriors,  is studded with one cardinal lesson, and that is,  that all evil in humanity has to be fought with Good Human Karma, not prayer or magic.

A truthful man, needs not to pray, but is ordained by Gurus, to  fight for and protect,  all that is held Nobel, in human society. 

All Gurus also stressed upon the institution of a commune. 

Community must struggle as a whole to strive for goodness, but the desire  of individuals to shine ahead of each other has forbidden many Sikhs to truly follow the true Path of Gurus. 

Although they do externally wear the marks of Sikhism, but as far as their lifestyle is concerned, they are very much driven by the market forces, and a very competitive model of linear progressin of pseudo growth, where all success is measured by the financial success of a person alone, achieved by hook or by crook.

Then there is the issue of irrational and illogical beliefs. 

Sikhism has no space for miracles. 

The only miracle Sikhism preaches is the miracle of human gritt and determinatiim and a collective  human effort.

All stories of Chamtkars or miracles are made up stuff, a lot during the British raj, to ensure that the flock increases, as they needed people, and all this was  promoted by the priestly class, to ensure a regular flow of  devoutees.

There are many examples to proove such false practices, that have now found place in Sikhism.

Let's start with Gurudwaras Pathar Sahib where a boulder is said to have been thrown on Guru Nanak Sahib by a Giant, but the boulder turned in to wax, inprinting Nanak's body print on it. Now the fact is, why did that stone made  wax by Guru Sahib become stone again? 

Why did Nanak allow the Giant to throw the rock on him in the first place? 

Guru ji could have frozen the Giant himself, rather than turning the Rock in to Wax, but may be the makers of this story thought it more convenient to build it this way.

Than, the Mecca incident. 

Undoubtedly A rationalist Philosopher like Satguru Nanak Sahib must have convinced a superstitious and staunch Muslim  priest to re-engineer his false beliefs. Guru Nanak ji must have convinced the narrow minded Mullah to understand the omnipresence of Allaah, but, that he moved the Kaaba all around, like a box of cardboard just to prove his point,  is absolutely a belief, based on a deliberate effort to kill the rational thought in Sikhism, and replace it by illogical beliefs.

Then we have the Panjaa sahib example, where, again Satguru stopped a huge boulder rolled down a hill by an 'Egoistic Spiritualist' to kill Nanak, as per this fable,  by extending his hand alone to stop the stone, and such was the impact of the boulder on the Guru's hand, that his hand got imprinted on it.

Now this is and never was the way of Nanak, because Nanak neither claimed nor wished to be a 'Spiderman or a Superman'.

  If he wanted to stop the stone thus, he could easily have turned it in to thin air ! Why did he let it roll down till it was right next to him. Sounds funny.

Than a story doing the rounds is that in the battle of Chamkaur, 130,000 professional mughal army soldiers were killed by just about 42 Sikhs. 

 Going by this,  each Sikh must have killed, atleast 3250 mughals in a single night, with weapons like swords, clubs and axes alone.  That means in a battle lasting about 6 hours, (360 minutes,) every Sikh soldier should have killed almost 9 mughals per minute.  This looks far fetched.

The truth is that in this battle, the Sikhs had decided, that Guru Gobind Singh Sahib must leave the battle, and escape, so as the mission continues.

Sikhs fought this battle extremely well, and attained martyrdom. 

In my opinion, they must have gone in for multiple   suicide  commando missions, and killed quite a few mughals, as their, this strategy ensured that the mughals stay engaged with them,  as Guru Ji is enabled to escape,  to organise and continue his rebellious struggle against oppression, and in the process, each Sikh may have killed more than a score of enemy soldiers. 

It was a great battle indeed, extremely well fought by Sikhs, but to present an exaggeration of it,  is not the way of great Sikhs.

Even if each Sikh is credited with 50 kills, the number of enemy soldiers killed could not be more than 2000, but to exaggerate this figure to I30,000 can only be termed as a work of  wild imagination or a poetic exaggeration.

The Sikhs always had, and still have a warrior persona, but they are and have proven to be having a strong mercenary streak aswell. That is why after the fall of Lahore Darbar, Sikhs fell in line with the Firangi, so fast and so well, and they fought for Firangi in 1857 Indian mutiny, against the Freedom fighter rebels, and in both world wars there after, they faught for the Gora.

What is of concern to Sikhism today, is the progression of 'Faith in Divine Miracles' and 'Degradation of faith in Human Values and Human vulnerability', and this is a direct result of  Brahnimcal values, focused not on Karam,  but Karam-kaand.

The tradition of offering Prasad, Rumalas money etc, or asking for boons and wish-fulfillment,  and thus turning the holy book in to a deitified demi-god is the greatest fall of Sikhism.

Guru Gobind Singh ji wanted his Sikhs to be Gyan-Yogis and Karam-Yogis alone, but they have taken to the way of 'Fake Bhakti Yoga', as a result of which the majority of Sikhs rather than reading SGGS ji, are praying to it and seeking boons or protection from it.

A true Sikh never Prays. He does not read the bani as a mantra, but reads it daily as instructions for life.

This difference must be understood by all educated and cosmopolitan Sikhs, or else this very modern and extremely scientific religion shall soon be taken over by the crooked priestly class, married to corrupt and exploitative political class in India and else where in the world,  to use  Sikhs as a vote bank, or mere boots on battle grounds alone.

If course correction is not executed,  the loss will be to sikhism and ordinary simple hearted Sikhs alone.

Sardarji Barah Baj gaye. ................. Know the truth behind the Call !

For all of you who thought 12 O'clock is a joke for Sardars....................

I was standing at Shimla Bus stand to receive a fellow officer when my attention was drawn by a Sikh youth, may be waiting for a bus. Just then a voice was heard from the back 'Sardarji Barah Baj gaye' (Sir it's 12 o'clock!). The Sikh youth gave a cool look to the youngster and instead of showing any anger smiled at him. The smile made me walk towards him and ask him as to why he smiled at the person who teased him?

                         

                                   The Sikh replied, 'He was not teasing me but was asking for my help as there was a big history behind what the Idiot just said. I was eager to know the History and the Sikh narrated:-

                            During 17th Century, when Hindustan was ruled by Mughals, all the Hindus were humiliated and were treated like animals. Mughals treated the Hindu women as their own property and were forcing all Hindus to accept Islam, killing those who refused to convert. That is when the ninth Guru of Sikhs , Sri Guru Teg Bahadur came forward, in response to a request from some Kashmiri Pandits to fight against the cruelty of mughals.

                      

                                  Guruji told the emperor that if the emperor could succeed in converting him to Islam, all Hindus will accept the same but if the emperor failed the conversions should stop. The Mughal emperor happily agreed but even after immense torture of Guruji and his fellow sikhs the emperor failed to convert them to Islam.  Guruji and his four fellow sikhs sacrificed their lives in Chandni Chowk for Justice and dignity of freedom.

                                     

                             Thus Guruji sacrificed his life for the protection of Hindu religion. Can anybody lay down his life and that too for the protection of another religion? This is the reason he is still remembered as 'Hind Ki Chadar'... 'The Shield of India'. And the thankless cowards for whom he had sacrificed his life did not even come forward to lift his body, fearing that they too would be assassinated. It was a brave sikh who came forward, lifted the Guru's mortal remains took them to his cotton godowns and set fire to all his godowns to ensure a honourable cremation for his Master.

                               Seeing this incident our 10th Guruji, Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji (Son of Guru Teg Bahadar) made a resolution that he would convert his followers to such human beings who would not be able to hide themselves and could be easily located in Millions. That is how he created the Khalsa, the long haired sikhs carrying swords or a dagger at least. 

                                 These were the times when Nadir Shah raided Delhi in 1739 and looted Hindustan and was carrying treasures and nearly 2200 Hindu women along with him to be used as sex slaves. The news spread like wildfire and reached Sardar Jassa Singh who was the Commander of the Sikh army at that time. He decided to attack Nadir Shah's caravan on the same midnight at 12 O' clock.

                                    

                               The mission was carried out , the women were rescued. It didn't happen just once but thereafter whenever any Afghan or persian commander attacked and looted Hindustan for treasure and Hindu women to be sold in Abdal markets, the Sikh warriors although fewer in numbers attacked them at midnight,12 O'clock and rescued the women. It had by then become a trend and a kind of a code worded call by hindus ............. whenever their women or cattle and homes were raided they would call a sikh commander through a messenger who would thus deliver the message..... 'Sardar ji Pandit ji ne sneha bheja hai ki Barah baj gaye', and the Sikh commander would raid the invading troops to rescue women and cows.

                                   

                            Soon it became a legendary SOS call ................This historic fact was the reason which made me smile. as I thought that either his Mother or Sister was in trouble and needed my help or he was reminding me of all the sacrifices my ancestors made to save the women, cows, hearth and home of his ancestors. This Call,'Barah Baj Gaye' Is his innocent and unaware way of saying thankyou. Even if he uses 'Barah baj Gaye' as a cat call without knowing the history behind it I smile because I know the history and am reminded of my very brave and good hearted  Saint Soldier ancestors who risked their lives and limbs for saving the dignity of this nation.

                             On further interaction I found that the young sikh was serving in the Indian Army as a commando and was an MA in political science. When I asked him why he did not get some other job his answer was, 'Sir, Army for me is not a job but a passion'. Bravo my brother soldier, I salute you as you taught me something so beautiful.

                  

                           Some shallow minded countrymen need to put it straight in their heads that Indian Sikhs are not their 'tenants'. but own this land more than they do because they have contributed more than their fair share for India's freedom and growth. Yaani Ghar Vaapisi.......aur Shudhi karan kis kaa ........ Abb merey ghar ka ribbon mujh se katvvao ge................. . Kya Hinduism ghar hai yaa India ghar hai ?................ Decide first.

                          Just to remind my friends I am sharing some figures here-

A single year's Sacrifices made by Sikhs for India’s Freedom during British Empire:

Type ----------------------Sikhs---Non-Sikhs-----Percentage of Sikhs

Prison One Year -----1,550-------575 ----------------73%

Hanged-------------------93----------28------------------77%

Jalianwala Bagh-------799-------- 501-----------------61%

Bajj Ghaat----------------67----------46-------------------59%

Kooka Movement------91-----------0--------------------100%

Akali Movement-------500-----------0--------------------100%

Deported---------------2,147--------499-------------------81%

Death sentence--------92-----------35--------------------72%

Indian National Army-12,000----8000------------------- 60%

                                 All this when Sikhs are Just .............. 1.8% of india's population ! .  It is worth mentioning here that in the non sikh section there is again a rich contribution of the christians and Muslims as well ;) . One is bound to get angry when fence sitters and those who merely watched the show from corners want to teach the real gladiators the rules of the game or so to say a lesson in patriotism. 

                               

                                  All said and done, this does not mean that Santa Banta Jokes are out. Santa banta represent the ever so jovial side of Sikhs, They are characters who are similar to Akbar Birbal, Tenali Rama or Mullah Nasiruddin. Only very immature people object to Santa Banta jokes. Their idiotic logic that any one telling a Santa Banta Joke is making fun of Sikhs as a whole is an ill founded and outrightly stupid logic. It is as if a man telling a Mulla Nasrudin joke is making fun of all the muslims of this world or someone telling a joke on pandits or a sadhu is insulting the hindu community as a whole or if someone tells a joke about Bongs he is waging war on Bengalis or anyone telling a monk, nun or a pastor joke is directly insulting Christianity. This kind of approach is outrightly a stupid approach.

                        People with such mind set  are products of poor self image resulting from shallow values and a poor knowledge of their own rich history making them feel unnecessarily insecure and belittled. With this attitude if they think they are doing some great service to their community, they are only mistaken as fundamentalist have always done more disservice to their community rather than doing any service.
  
                              Those who truly serve God, Waheguru, Bhagwan or Allah spread love and joy and not hatred and sorrow. Do not forget that the future of this world belongs to those who can say #illridewithyou. I also must state here that all those who think they are more Sikhs than Indians are as prejudiced or misled as those Hindus who think they are more Hindus than Indians or Muslims who think they are more Muslim than Indians. In simple words they are fundamentalist religious bigots who have no place in the vision of modern India. For them my slogan is Love India or Leave India.  .

                             It is also high time for one and all in India to realise that being a Hindu, a Sikh or a Muslim is next to being an Indian. Please rise above your narrow identities if you want India to to grow. I advise as well as request all Indians to have some minimal pride in our nation. Rise above your insecurities. Dont forget the best modern folk hero of Punjab Sardar Bhagat Singh did not give two hoots for any religion but sacrificed his life for INDIA.
