In the earlier question, you said that in Amu, the Indian Govt and Hindus are portrayed as wrong. Well, as a Sikh ill say both sides were wrong. Read this
INDIRA GANDHI PROPPED UP BHINDRANWALE
to do petty politics and counter the Akalis. He campaigned for Indira Gandhis Congress party in three constituencies’ during the 1980 general elections. In the 1981 internal Gurdwara , he was used and fooled by the Congress again to campaign for the AISSF to divide the Akali party. Eventually he had a fall out with Mrs Gandhi, and decided to reinvent himself as a saint. Bhindranwale was a liar and a hypocrite.
Never give power to a man of God – a man who has God in his head all the time is to dumb to think about anything else. Look at the Pope – he is creating chaos in third world countries by advocating conversion ……….. Now you must know what kind of man was Bhindranwale, to understand why Operation Blue Star was carried out.
BHINDRANWALE INCITED VIOLENCE AGAINST HINDUS.
1 – Bhindranwale ‘mocked Gandhis concept of non violence.
2 – Bhindranwale threatened to kill 5,000 Hindus in an hour if the police did not give into his political demands.
3 – Bhindranwale bluntly demanded ‘that all Hindus should leave Punjab.
4 – Bhindranwale incited his followers to kill a Hindu Newspaper editor. When he was arrested in this connection an Indian Airlines plane was hijacked and his release was demanded. In a speech, Bhindranwale ‘praised his young lieutenants’ for the hijacking
5 – i have personally heard a tape where Bhindranwale has said that each Sikh should kill 36 Hindus.
BHINDRANWALE INCITED VIOLENCE AGAINST SIKHS AS WELL.
Bhindranwale was a power hungry madman who was against other Sikhs as well. His pet hatred was for Nirankaris – another sect of Sikhs. Bhindranwale incited the assassination of Nirankari leader Gurbachan Singh, and said that he would weigh the killer in Gold. He openly stated that his followers would cut Nirankaris to pieces. They made an attempt on the life of the Nirankari’s propaganda secretary .
Bhindranwale had Surinder Singh Chinda, beheaded in the pursuit of violent and personal Sikh politics.
BHINDRANWALE WAS AGAINST FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS –
Some Sikhs who support Bhindranwale dont know that he would have ruined our lives with his fanatic religious mentality. Sikhs are the biggest drinkers in India but arfe not aware that Bhindranwale had stated – ‘If a true Sikh drinks, he should be burnt alive.’ Look at what the Taliban has done to Afghanistan.
While he professed the highest standards of Sikhism, he practiced gender discrimination.
BHINDRANWALE WAS A THUG
Bhindranwale threatened ‘political and physical end’ of anyone who didn’t press for his demands. Bhindranwales followers attacked the police if they ever took action against him.
BHINDRANWALE TOOK OVER OUR HOLY SHRINE AND VIOLATED IT
In the siege of the Gurdara these terrorists had defiled the Gurdwara by defecating in the food vessels and donation boxes of the Gurdwara. They turned the Gurdwara into a fortress by stocking bombs, ammunition and made holes in the walls to shoot bullets.
INDIRA GANDHI ORDERED THE INVASION OF THE GURDWARA
One argument goes that if the Indian Govt could successfully cordon of 100’s of kilometers the Indian Pak border, why could they not cordon off a km of periphery around the Gurdwara and starve out the terrorists. After all, within a few years Muslim terrorists laid a similar siege to a Masjid and were fed chicken Biryani with negotiations. Sikhs were brutally discriminated because they consist only a 2% minority in India.
The opposite argument is that Bhindranwale’s consistent stand had been that if the Indian Government would invade the temple, it would help the cause of Khalistan. The Indian government was worried that if this fact would be openly declared before the invasion, a large section of the Punjab police and religious Sikhs might have crossed over to support Bhindranwale. A protracted siege would then help create Khalistan into a reality, and tens of thousands of innocent Hindus in Punjab and Sikhs outside Punjab would be ethnically cleansed, if not killed.
As a Sikh i feel that the Indian Government is allways facing difficult seige attacks, and had enough experiance, recources and Goodwill amongst Sikhs to have found an easier way out. They should have handled the matter more sensitively. The Congress should not have ordered the invasion, they should have found a better way out.
We all know that last Nov , only 4 Pakistani terrorists held out in Taj for 3 days against numerous highly trained Indian commandoes. Then how could 100’s of Sikh terrorists fall like 9 pins ? Becuase the pakistani jehadis were religiously doctrinated, and had zeal behind their training. Most of the Sikhs in Operation Blue star were at best, petty thugs out to make a quick buck, at worst they were murderers. They miscalculated, they were trapped by mistake in the Golden Temple and many of them surrendered like cowards. They are an insult to the real Sikhs in the Indian Army.
ASSASINATION OF INDIRA GANDHI
Indira Gandhi was assasinated because Sikhs felt she should not have invaded the Gurdwara but negotiated a settlement. Hindu thugs led by the criminal, Rajiv Gandhi’s implicit orders went on a pogrom and killed 3000 sikhs in return
The criminal Rajiv Gandhi then said ‘ When a big tree falls, the ground will shake ‘ Nobody should ever forget this one statement. But its time to forgive and forget all else……… Rajiv Gandhi is NOT india. The people who killed Sikhs do NOT represent India. The politicians of the congress who did not care about Sikh bodies on the roads do NOT represent the Hindu community
THE ANTI SIKH RIOTS
We Sikhs dont realise that we had criminals in our community too who did enough damage in return……………… The reason for this is that Hindus don’t challenge us Sikhs on on this topic. Hindus feel that their bigger problem in the country are Muslims so they try not to rake up controversial topics with us Sikhs. Because we don’t hear their viewpoint we Sikhs tend to think that 1984 was a big one sided crime. Please, lets soul search and be more realistic.
The primary tragedy is that a man has died. How he dies, how many died in one day, who killed them are important issues, but secondary issues. We say that Hindus were killed by terrorists, BUT Sikhs were killed by Congress ( Rajiv Gandhi’s orders ) We say that Hindus were killed by bullets, BUT Sikhs were killed by burning tires around their necks. We say that 3000 plus Sikhs died in 3 days, conveniently forgetting that 3000 plus Hindus have died too, over 3 years.
What I am repeating is that the primary tragedy is death. What I am stating is that there are still, today, thousands of Hindu widows, daughters, mothers crying the same way as there are Sikh widows, mothers and daughters. Both sides were wrong
PEOPLE OF INDIA MUST STICK TOGETHER
this Congress party has committed atrocities against Hindus too. BJP has killed Muslims. The politicians ( not Abdullahs though ) in the Kashmir valley have been instrumental in the ethnic cleansing of Hindu Pandits. Lower castes get raped all the time. Nowadays even the Christians are gating an occasional pasting by saffron outfits. That is politics.
But Sikhs got justice from the PUCL and PUDR, all of whom were Hindus.. Hindus went overboard screaming for justice for Sikhs. We Sikhs have got a very good deal in India, we are first class citizens, a thriving successful community. We are not minority or majority – we are mainstream. WE are India.
The average Hindu and Sikh on the road probably hated each other for a few years, that all is thankfully over, this hatred only remains in the heads of a low IQ Khalistanis and Hindu lunatics
