The Current Struggle for Sikh Soveriegnty
THE CURRENT STRUGGLE (1984-PRESENT) FOR SIKH SOVERIEGHTY
...the Indian Government has been the major cause
of bloodshed in the state (Punjab)..." -NEW YORK TIMES,
Sept.16, 1985
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Indian Government is accused of inhuman
barbarities against the people of Punjab."
-Justice V.M. Tarkunde, Bombay High Court
A member of the Indian government's "Red
Brigade" confessed to State-sponsored terrorism
against the Sikhs. -OTTAWA CITIZEN, FEB. 12, 1989
HIGHTLIGHTS
After Indira Gandhi's death, thousands of innocent Sikhs - men,
women, and children were maimed, killed and raped, in Delhi and
many other cities all across India. Not a single person has been
arrested or tried for these heinous crimes.
The countryside of Punjab has been wasted by the Indian Army,
Sikh men are routinely rounded up and killed in fake encounters
every day.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the Martyrdom of Baba Jarnail Singh Khalsa, Bhindranwale,
the Sikh Army took on a new shape. While the Hindu dominated
Indian Government was busy trying to exterminate the Sikhs, and
announced that they had "broken their back", the Sikh Freedom
Fighters re-organized themselves into several forces, dedicated to
liberating the Sikh Homeland.
The popular forces included :
Khalistan Commando Force : Headed by General Labh Singh Ji
Babbar Khalsa International : Headed by Jathedar Sukhdev Singh Ji
"Babbar", Jathedar Talwinder Singh Ji, and Bhai Wadhawa Singh
"Babbar"
Khalistan Liberation Force :Headed by Avtar Singh "Brahma", and
later by Bhai Gurjant Singh "BudhSinghWala"
Bhindranwala Tiger Force :Headed by Baba Gurbachan Singh
Manochahal
These Sikh Freedom Fighters quickly became popular among the
masses, and have been looked upon by the young and old alike.
This, of course, did not suit the Fascist Indian Government. Since
the early 1980's the Punjab police along with thousands of
paramilitary troops began a systematic, terror campaign not only
against the these Freedom Fighters, but also against the general
Sikh public. Thousands of young Sikh men between the ages of 15-
25 were imprisoned, tortured, and afterwards exterminated. Sikh
women were humiliated in public, stripped naked, and gang raped
by the government hoodlums. Anyone whom the Indian tyrants
suspected was quickly arrested or conveniently "eliminated" in
routinely staged fake encounters. These actions only strengthened
the resolve of the Sikhs to rid their Homeland of the Indian
Invaders, and establish self-rule.
To create chaos and destabilize the Freedom Movement, the Indian
government, has planted its agents (pseudo-Sikhs) in all Sikh
organizations in Punjab. Many agents are actually Punjabi Hindus
disguised as Sikhs. They have also infiltrated most of the Sikh
Organizations and Temples abroad. The main goal of these agents
is to discredit the Independence Movement and create confusion
among the general public.
In Punjab, the Government is spending millions of dollars in a
campaign to "Hindu-ize" the Sikhs into the old-Brahmanic fold. To
weaken the future generation's religious attitudes illicit drugs,
pornography, and alcohol is being made readily available to the
youths of Punjab. Television programs are aimed to promote anti-
Sikh behavior, which they believe will cause the new generation to
lose its religious identity. This is exactly what the Sikh Freedom
Fighters are fighting against.
Today the Sikh Nation is fighting for its survival, for its dignity,
and for its Independence. The day is not far when the Khalsa will
ride upon to the Red Fort in Delhi to fly the Kersi Nishan Sahib,
and liberate the Sikh Homeland from the crutches of the Fascist
Indian Government.
