WHY SIKHS SHOULDN'T CELEBRATE INDIAN INDEPENDENCE
15 August marks India's Independence Day and prolongs the suffering of the Sikhs. We are clear about our nationhood, but it is denied by the Indian State and the Indian political class which are not prepared to allow us basic rights.



 
 
 Sikhs betrayed and promises broken India's founding fathers gave numerous solemn promises that the Sikhs freedom and dignity would be safeguarded. Jawahar lal Nehru said that the brave Sikhs of Punjab are entitled to special consideration. I see nothing wrong in an area set up in the north of India wherein the Sikhs can also experience the glow of freedom. These promises were conveniently forgotten after independence and the Sikhs were dismissively told by the same Nehru that the circumstances had now changed


 Sikhs have rejected India's Constitution Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru gave the Sikhs assurances that after India achieves political freedom no Constitution shall be framed by the majority community unless it is freely acceptable to the Sikhs. This promise was repeated throughout the period up to independence. When the Constitution was produced in 1950 it failed to deliver any safeguards or political rights for the Sikhs as a people or nation. The Sikhs therefore refused to sign the Constitution and have never accepted it. Article 25 even denies Sikhism, the fifth largest faith in the world, separate recognition as a religion an affront that is widely seen as a deliberate act of suppression of the Sikhs.



 Demands for greater autonomy were dismissed The Indian authorities have systematically discriminated against the Sikhs since 1947 and subverted or suppressed all legitimate political demands for greater autonomy. The Anandpur Sahib Resolution of 1973 set out the basis on which the Sikhs were prepared to accept a political union within India, as a federal state. This demand for internal self-determination was pursued through decades of peaceful protest and attempts at negotiation with the central government. The demands were never seriously considered and given the history of the conflict between the Sikhs and India since 1984, this would now be too little too late.



 Gross violation of Sikh human rights In the last 30 years the Indian authorities have unleashed a rein of terror through gross violation of human rights of Sikhs in an attempt to extinguish the calls for freedom and Sikh independence. In June 1984 the Indian army attacked the Golden Temple Complex and 125 other Sikh Gurdwaras in Punjab and massacred tens of thousands of innocent Sikh pilgrims. This laid the foundation stone for an independent sovereign Sikh State, Khalistan.


In November 1984 tens of thousands of innocent Sikhs were massacred in Delhi and over 130 other cities throughout India by well-orchestrated mobs under the direct supervision of senior Indian politicians and officials.
Over 250,000 Sikhs have been murdered and disappeared since 1984. Many Sikh political prisoners still languish in Indian jails without charge or trial and others have been falsely charged and sentenced to death by hanging. Illegal detention and torture of Sikhs is common place and well documented by independent human rights organisations.



 Sikh nationhood and independence Sikhs first secured political power in the form of an independent state in 1710, after suffering centuries of foreign invasions and alien domination. The larger sovereign Sikh state was established in 1799 and was recognised by all the world powers. The Sikhs, after the two Anglo-Sikh wars, lost their kingdom and the Punjab came under British rule in 1849. However, in giving up power Sikhs were party to several Treaties with the British.



 SIKH PERSONAL LAW DENIED After independence Sikhs have been denied Sikh Personal Law. Hindu Laws has been forced on Sikhs be it be the marriage act or income Tax.Sikhs marriages are registered under hindu act and while filling income tax Sikhs as HUF<hindu undived family>

ਜੇ ਗੂਰ ਗਰੰਥ ਸਹਿਬ ਜੀ ਨੇ

ਖਾਲਿਸਤਾਨ ਦੀ ਮੰਗ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ

ਤਾ ਇਕ ਦਿਨ ਜਰੂਰ ਮਿਲੇਗਾ

ਤੇਰੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਮੰਗਣ ਦੀ ਲੋੜ ਨਹੀ

 
 
 
 
sat bachn bai ji

I don't understand why you people post the same thing again and again and above doesn't make any sense to me either

Sahi gal kahi bai. This type of information only starts religious fights. I rather just not post anything khalistan related, If I do then all hell breaks loose here.

 
84 ਵਿਚ ਜੋ ਸਿੱਖ ਸੀ ਸੜਿਆ

ਉਹਨੂੰ ਖਾਲਿਸਤਾਨ ਦੀ ਲੋੜ ਨਹੀ

90 ਵਾਲੇ ਸੰਤਾਪ ਨੂੰ ਤੂੰ ਝਲਿਆ ਨੀ

ਕਰਫਿਊ ਵਾਲੀ ਰਾਤ ਨੂੰ ਤੂੰ ਝਲਿਆ ਨੀ

ਹਿੰਦੋਸਤਾਨ ਨੂੰ ਹਿੰਦੋਸਤਾਨ ਹੀ ਰਹਿੰਨ ਦਿਉ

ਖਾਲਿਸਤਾਨ ਤੇਰੇ  ਤੋ ਝਲਿਆ ਜਾਣਾ ਨੀ
 

Pade likhe hoke vi sare Anpada waaliya galla karde aa . Mei tuhade sareya to ehi expect kita si.

Thanks Pawan,soulmate and Karam veere.

It gets posted over and over again, because some people believe that this kind of history of India is being suppressed. Nobody is forced to believe it, and everybody is free to provide a rebuttal (and I'm sure there are plenty).

Just like we can post over and over again about how India is a diverse nation with the 7th wonder of the world and how it is the biggest democracy of the world, I think we should be willing to listen to the criticism that comes about India.

PS: I don't hate India, I don't love India. I can't hate/love such a big thing. There are aspects that are not likable, like the stuff that Anna Hazare is fighting. And there are aspects that we can commend. Yada Yada.
