Manmohan Singh, along with parkash badal, KP Gill and others is only a Sikh in name. These naqli Sikhs are more dangerous than the RSS and Congress goondas out to get Sikhs. Manmohan should be declared a tankhaiya for protecting Tytler.

At least 4 things can be done to help the victims of the state sponsored genocide: 1. Volunteer work 2. Financial help www.nishkam.org is doing a great job and if they can get financial/physical help then there is nothing like it. 3. Create awareness amongst other Sikhs and expose what India has done. This will keep the crimes of 1984-1992 fresh in the minds of Sikhs all over the world. 4. Lobby/write to your senator/representative/other officials to have an international inquiry regarding India's crimes against Sikhs and other minorities. International pressure does change things, but unfortunately not enough has been exerted on India.

The interviews with the widows reveal that even though they have learned to continue on with their livelihood, a large part of their psyche remains trapped in 1984. With their families torn and traumatized these widows and children live in a segregated ghetto of New Delhi, Tilak Vihar. They have been fighting for justice for 20 years and now their children fight with the problem of drugs and unemployment. The perpetrators of these crimes remain free, the victims remain forgotten Note: you will need real player to play these video files.

A lot of Indian apologists argue that the Congress(I) has had an anti-Sikh policy but the general Hindu population respects and loves the Sikhs. Operation Bluestar,Operation Woodrose, November 1984, police brtuality in Punjab and the systematic killing of the Sikh youth in Punjab, is all the work of the Congress(I) and the Nehru dynasty. And the Hindus have just been duped into following the gruesome agenda of the Congress (I). Is this really the case? A new report released by a human rights organization, Ensaaf (http://www.ensaaf.org/body-1984report.pdf)gives evidence that points to the contrary. It discusses the role of the Indian police force, media, public and the Congress Party in the November 1984 massacre. Chapter 5 of the report is very disturbing because it describes in detail role of the Indian electorate in supporting the killing of Sikhs. Some of the highlights below: ************************************************** Prakash Kaur a Punjabi Teacher at Delhi university described how children threw rotten food into her courtyard after the massacre and her colleagues at work joked about the Sikh massacre saying "These people should be grabbed by their judis, whirled around, and beaten up thoroughly" "What is a Sikh Kebaab? A burnt Sikh." Papers in 15 languages in India carried advertisements showing barbed wire and asking "Will the border move to your doorstep" and "Why should you feel uncomfortable riding in a taxi driven by a taxi driver who belongs to a different state?" Instead of condemning the massacre the Indian population supported it...according to a person interveiwed by the reporter Dhiren Bhagat, "Go to the villages and they are saying 'aur kyo on nahin maara Sikhon ko' (Why did they not kill more Sikhs?)...people will say 'acha kiya Congress nay' (Congress did well) A poll done by Illustrated Weekly during Nov 20 to Nov 25 indicated that 72% of people in the Hindu heartland felt that because of Indira gandhi's assasination Congress had improved its chances of winning re-election. 70% to 80% of those polled praised the Congress leadership. On Dec 27 1984, after the shortest campaign in India's history, the Congress won 401 out of 508 seats in India's history. Lalit Maken got 60% of the votes in South Delhi. HKL Bhagat got 386,150 votes and his closest contender got only 73,970 votes. Jagdish Tytler got twice as many votes as his nearest opponent Madan Lal Khurana. **************************************************

Please see Other Sikhs volume 1 by H. Banerjee. It discusses some of the indigenous Sikh communities in Bengal and Eastern India.

No one mentioned Kabir Bedi in Octopussy. I think this is probably the most famous image of Sikhs that was ever put on TV outside of India. Sikhs are also shown in a Japanese classic called The Burmese Harp. The movie shows a Sikh regiment fighting the Japanese during WWII. Fortunately the Japanese have more sense than the losers who make Bollywood and show Sikhs with dignity and respect. You can also find Sikh soldiers some very old American movies about Hong Kong pre WWII. And Seven Years in Tibet showed Sikh soldiers as well. In some Persian dramas and movies about the British occupation of Persia, you can find Sikh soldiers as well. World cinema probably knows about Sikhs through an occasional portrayal of a Sikh soldier in WWII or as a soldier for the British empire. Pakistani Punjabi films(which are probably even worse than Indian Punjabi films) like to portray Sikhs in their movies every now and then. The Sikhs are shown either as cruel and heartless arch-villains or as noble but misguided heroes. I don't think Sikhs have been portrayed too many times in international cinema otherwise. I have yet to see a Sikh in a Spanish, Latin American, Russian, German, French, African or Italian movie.

There are Sikhs in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and now once again in Central Asia. Most of the Sikhs in this part of the world are Khatri, Arora, and Lobana merchants who had migrated from Punjab and settled in these areas. These Sikhs often worked as moneylenders, shopkeepers, transporters of cotton, and bankers in these parts. Since around the the 1500 South Asian businessmen have been going to NWFP, Afghanistan, Central Asia, Iran, Azerbijan, and even Russia to make fortunes. These merchants were usually Sindhis (from hyderabad and shikarpur) Punjabis (from Multan), Pashtuns, and Marwaris. These merchants belonged to the Baniya, Arora, Khatri, Lohana, Powar, and other trading castes. They brought cotton, silk, and some handicraft goods from India in return for gold, silver, fruits, and other goods. Gradually they became acquainted with these regions and in some cases they settled down and set up businesses. The Sindhis were non-Khalsa Sikhs while the Khatris and the Aroras were Khalsa Sikhs. They remained in Central Asia and left before the Russian revolution. Now after the fall of the USSR, many Sikhs from Iran and Afghanistan, and some from India have gone to Central Asia again. The Sikhs in Afghanistan and Iran are generally of Punjabi descent though there may have been some converts and intermarriages from Islam into Sikhism as well. I read somewhere that the Sikhs of Afghanistan do not give their daughters to Hindus in marriage but will accept Hindu daughters in marriage. The Sikhs of Afghanistan have played an extremely important role in the country's economy and are amongst its leading merchant class. Some of the Pakistani Sikhs belong to a community that di d not leave the NWFP during partition because the local Pashtuns granted them status of a protected community. The Pakistani Sikh community has grown because many Sikhs from Afghanistan have migrated to Pakistan and some Pakistani Hindus have converted to Sikhism because Sikhs have a much better status than Hindus do in Pakistan. It would be hard to guess the exact number of Sikhs in these regions. I have heard estimates in Pakistan to be between 10,000 to 60,000. In Afghanistan from 2,500 to 40,000. In Iran from 2,000 to 10,000. And in Central Asia there are several hundred Sikhs in a community that will grow. These numbers do not include Nanakpanthi Sindhis or Punjabi Hindus.

This dinosaur Badal has betrayed an entire generation of Sikhs. His dubious relationship with the Nirankaris, his craveness during Bluestar, his inability to properly investigate human rights violations, attack on the integrity on the Akal Takhat and now this comment should let everyone know that he is undermining the Paanth. And he is grooming his lackluster son to take over after daddy's death. The majority of the Sikh voters in Punjab are busy being "moderate" and the radical Sikh groups like the Dal Khalsa and Simranjit Singh Maan's akalis are too small and fragmented to challenge Badal's monopoly on power. For now, Badal's nefarious policies are here to stay.

There were not Sikhs killing Sikhs in Nov. 84. The criminals with the name Singh are Biharis, Rajputs, Jaats, Gujjars and other groups. Most of these groups (especially the Arya Samaji Jaats) are quite prejudiced against Sikhs and got their chance in Nov. 84. Sikhs, regardless of affiliation or rank were killed. Even a Congressi traitors like Giani Zail Singh had his car stoned by mobs. Unfortunately, the Sikhs of Delhi didn't learn too much from this, since they voted in the very people who killed them and started giving siropas to killers. The 'Sikh leadership' in Delhi have proven themselves to be slaves. Our own Sikhs have betrayed us in Delhi.

And now in 2004, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE KILLERS IS IN JAIL. Sikhs are now 'reconciling' their differences with Congress, voting these killers back to parliament, shouting "<admin-profanity filter activated>" and giving siropas to these killers. We should hand our heads in shame.

"True Singhs in 1984 : SER JAAWE TAAN JAAWE MERA SIKHI SIDAK NA JAAWE Fake Sikhs in 2004 : SIKHI JAAWE TAAN JAAWE, PAR KURSI TE RUPAIYYA NA JAAWE" There were plenty of these fake Sikhs in 1984 as well. Badal and Tohra betrayted Bhindrawale and survived in 1984. If they had any Anakh they would have died fighting, but they were only interested in their kursis. Why we keep electing such traitors is beyond me...I don't know what people think about Simranjit Singh Maan, but he has been vocal about the Sikh cause...and this time in 2004 he lost the elections. And the Panthic Morcha will probably not beat the Akali Dal (Badal) in the SGPC elections. The Indian propaganda machinery and our own apathy has led to the alienation and weakening of radical Sikh elements like SS Maan, Dal Khalsa, and others. Sikh politics is not the blind leading the blind, but backstabbing Benedict Arnolds leading the blind. As far as Mr. Sarna condemning Mr. Chandok, thats just petty politics. Chandok will come out of this the same way his mentor and former friend, Giani Zail Singh did, unashamed and continuing to betray the Sikhs. Did Giani Zail Singh learn anything after Bluestar? Nothing. This ghulam Chandok has learnt nothing and will learn nothing. He will backstab and humiliate the Sikhs again if he gets a chance. A snake may shed its skin but it remains a snake, and a Sikh 'leader' may apologize but he (or it may be more appropriate) remains scum.

Its about time the Akal Takhat took action. This Chandok clown has humiliated Sikhs around the world by giving a siropa and a kirpan to Jagdish Tytler. The DSGMC also decided to support the Congress Party and thus shifted the Sikh vote to the Congress Party in this years elections. As a result we got Sikh-killers like Sajjan Kumar and Tytler elected with the help of Sikh votes. As much as I am personally disgusted by Mr. Chandok and his actions, what is disturbing is the 'slave mentality' that the Sikhs in India, especially the Delhi Sikhs have adopted. There should be an outrage over Tytler's induction into Manmohan Singh's cabinet and the siropa he got. But instead we get a deafening silence. How many Sikhs in Delhi have taken to the streets about this? How many Akalis have openly condemned Mr. Chandok? This man is the 2nd in command in the DSGMC, and instead of holding running holy gurudwaras like Sis Ganj etc., he should be either behind bars or ostracized by the entire Sikh community.
