but when he was an MP he used to goto parliament withOUT his kirpan when previously he said he wouldnt and didnt, this makes him seem as if his principles dont matter he recants on his position too much about khalistan i do respect him and his ideals, he is a khalistani but never quite comes out wholly for the concept in public which he needs to do, he sometimes says we need homeland but is not clear about whther its inside or outside of india at the moment he is the best thing sikhs have in punjab which is not great in my opinion he focuses too much on gaining money from his trips abroad aulakh is a different matter he has done much to lobby the US congress chohan is NOT a khalistani leader, he is self styled and not to be trusted

we need both groups one without the other is useless look at what the jews did

mann has given up alot for the panth but he is still unclear on his stand for khalistan and therefore is not really trusted by most khalistani leaders

a r darshi is a punjabi hindu of 'valmiki' origin he used to work for punjab government he was friends with all top akali politicians of that era and claims to have had 'backstage passes' to most secret akali meetings during that period its one of only a few books writtten by a punjabi hindu praising sant ji i think (i have not yet received it)

it is now widely circulated that democracy is the way forward to obtain khalistan and that we need to educate the youth in sikhi to become khalsa in order for khalistan to become a reality i have some problems with this school of thought 1. i dont think in this climate, sikh youth in punjab will become khalsa in the numbers required, what is required i think, is an event which will rouse the feelings of sikh youth but not an event of the proportions of bluestar obviously 2. some say a leader is required to rouse the feelings of sikh youth, but any leader will forever live in the shadow of sant ji and be opposed by certain members of the taksal, so no new leadership can ever come to the forefront the democracy theory also i think will fail because it wont harness the underlying feelings of sikhs, even today most rural sikhs want khalistan but are just afraid or tired to speak out the goverment wont listen to democracy and the international community really dismisses sikh human rights claims because of the trading power of india therefore if khalistan is to be achieved there must be an armed struggle again along with a political movement much like the tamil tigers, ira etc i know that many people will not agree with an armed struggle again because of the pitfalls of the previous khalistani armed struggle but i firmly belive its what is required obviously the armed struggle has to be more controlled and organised, targetting legitimate targets, and have a political strategy, otherwise we run the risk of being labelled 'terrorists' by the international community in this current time, an armed struggle is not quite accep table due to 9/11, but ultimately i think it will have to resurface in order to achieve our aim im sorry if what i wrote is confusing or offensive, i cant express myself very well any thoughts?

http://www.sikhtimes.com/news_101604a.html disgraceful from a writer who simply cannot stop licking gandhi's shoes

there may be truth in what gabroo says as well we just dont know maybe he is wating for the right time to add momentum to the movement and in any case he is without an army now politics it seems is the way forward at the moment

http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/5922_10...02000000000.htm Backed by radical Sikh forces, Mastan Singh was today unanimously elected as the first president of newly restructured Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (PSGPC) at its Nankana Sahib headquarters. Belonging to a family which migrated from Afghanistan, Mastan Singh is said to enjoy the blessings of Khalistani ideologue Ganga Singh Dhillon. He has replaced Sindhi Sikh Sham Singh who was continuing as co-chairman of PSGPC ever since its inception in April 1999. A 10-member Executive Committee, which elected Mastan Singh, has made Bishen Singh as vice-president of the PSGPC. With this election, the Pakistan government’s commitment to restructure the PSGPC and allow its Executive to freely handle Sikh shrines on the lines of SGPC stands fulfilled. Mastan Singh, who took over the reins of the PSGPC soon after his election, is a leading construction contractor of Nankana Sahib. He also runs a Khalsa School in his hometown. His opponents had recently tried to defame him by raising the point that despite being a baptised Sikh, Mastan Singh owned a licence to consume and store liquor. Asked to comment on the development, SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur said that there was no question of according recognition to the PSGPC since it had “miserably failed” to restore ‘maryada’ in Sikh holy places in Pakistan during the last 15 years. She said that the matter would be discussed at the coming SGPC General House meeting. The PSGPC would continue to work under the Waqf Board, but the Board cha irman would no more act as head of the Sikh body there as was the case in the past. PSGPC Executive Committee includes Mastan Singh, Rawel Singh and Bishen Singh from Punjab province; Tara Singh, Mahesh Singh and Sham Singh from Sindh; Satnam Singh from Baluchistan and Sujan Singh from Suba Sarhad. PSGPC Executive is also likely to announce some changes in the 15-member advisory panel in which representation has also been given to some foreign Sikhs. Among Indians, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh and Akal Takht Jathedar Joginder Singh Vedanti’s names figure on the panel. The panel also has American Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee president Dr Pritpal Singh, Nankana Sahib Foundation president Ganga Singh Dhillon, UK-based Dal Khalsa leader Kesar Singh Mand and UK-based Babbar Khalsa International leader Joga Singh as its members. Besides, five Pakistan Parliamentarians form the liaison committee of the PSGPC to co-ordinate with the government.

zaffarwal is an orginal signatory to the declararion of khalistan he was loyal then but his own desire to see himself safe has turned him into turncoat he was originally a naxalite

basically, zaffarwal has been spared because, when he ''surrendered'' in 2001 badal needed to show the sikh 'right' that he was ''hardline'' and also it was due to zaffarwals connections to the akali dal it was also meant to show that the movement had run out of steam and top top militants had began to surrender also zaffarwal had said he was missing home and dr chohan managed to persuade him violence was not the answer, chohan was just looking for media space and publicity and zaffarwal, only in 1997 had said he continue to fight, so chohan must have promised him something ie policitcal power in the form of the khalsa raj party but this has never materialised now he is being spared because Capt. of the congress needs to keep sikh ''right'' operational in order to weaken the akali dal in key election areas such as gurdaspur which are traditional akali dal seats obviously zaffarwal has struck a deal with the goverment: zaffarwal will say violence is wrong and the ISI control khalistanis and he wont be put in jail this suits both congress and akalis as it demoralises khalistanis all over the world whilst also making zaffarwal look like a fool to most people soon after coming back to his village he was apparently attacked by gunmen, now it could be anyone trying to kill him but i heard it was the babbars who hate him for surrendering, wadwawa singh issued a statement saying he was a traitor in 2001

how likely is it that since he has already served many years in jail, will those be cut off his life sentence? life in india normally means 14 years i think somehow i think he wont ever see daylight again

ive ordered it off the net for anyone else who wants it : type the book into google including author and click on biblio.net link to order

zaffarwal has connections with senior akali dal politicians esp in gurdaspur dist he has been disowned by most khalistanis leaders outisde punjab he is dr chohans bodyguard now both are dubious people

http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story.ph...ontent_id=57442 going for sgpc elections from his dhariwal dist gurdaspur area any views?

Khalistani terrorist sentenced to life imprisonment Jaipur, Oct 21 (UNI) A fast track court here has sentenced to life imprisonment a Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) member charged with the abduction of the son of senior Congress leader Ram Niwas Mirdha. The KLF member Daya Singh Lahoria and two others had abducted Rajendra Mirdha while he was on morning walk near his C-Scheme residence here on February 17, 1995, to put pressure on the then Narasimha Rao government for the release of KLF terrorist Devendra Pal Singh Bhullar. Rajendra was rescued nine days later from a flat in Jagatpura in the city. While one terrorist was shot dead by police, Lahoria and four others managed to fee. Lahoria and his accomplice and wife Kamaljeet Kaur were later nabbed in the US and extradited to India in January 1997. Their trial was shifted from a TADA court in Ajmer to the Fast Track Court (I) here in 2000 following the ruling that TADA provisions were not applicable in his case. Delivering the judgement yesterday, the Fast Track (I) Judge B L Lamror also sentenced Kamaljeet to seven years in prison. But since she had had already spent eight years behind bars, she was sent to judicial custody in connection with other cases registered against her. He also imposed a fine of Rs 1,500 on Lahoria and Rs 1,000 on Kamaljeet

the story of barapind very good article outlining his case http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/10...apind-0442.html

Shiromani Khalsa Dal Head Office : Shree Darbar Sahib, Amritsar 26 May 2004 Dr. Manmohan Singh Prime Minister of India New Delhi, India Dear Dr. Singh, We congratulate you for achieving a new pinnacle in your already distinguished career. With immense optimism we welcome the news of your appointment as Prime Minister of India. We are sanguine foremost because of your competence and integrity, and only secondarily because you are a Sikh. With your remarkable appointment as the Prime Minister of India, we are hopeful that the India will be more faithful to the rule of law. We noted with optimism that one of your first public statements was that you will not allow grisly events such as 1984 and Gujarat to happen again. It was heartening to hear you acknowledge that the judicial process in Gujarat had been subverted, and that you would ensure that justice prevails. Your decision (assuming it was yours) however, to induct Jagdish Tytler into the cabinet did give us pause. We are particularly surprised since you had implied parallels between the violence in Delhi in 1984 and in Gujarat in 2002. In both cases minorities were targeted. In both cases the government was complicit. In both cases local politicians encouraged violence. And in both cases these politicians managed to subvert the judicial process. You promise that in Gujarat this subversion will not be permitted. Isn’t it possible that similar subversion happened in Delhi? Jagdish Tytler, Sajjan Kumar and all others have successfully beaten the rap using the same tools that were used by politicians in Gujarat. Intimidation and coercion of witnesses, political p ressure on the judiciary and the prosecutors, and most importantly friends in high places led to the same travesty of justice in Delhi as it did in Gujarat. We realize that unfortunately political expediency can often coerce compromise even from the most ethical person. Perhaps you would at least consider personally visiting the widows of the Delhi pogroms. Since you are a sensitive person, you can imagine the humiliation of those ladies who know that the men responsible for the rapes and murders of their family members now roam the streets of their neighborhoods with impunity. In our view playing the role of victims does not reconcile with Sikh ethos, and we certainly don’t plan to exploit the suffering of Sikhs for ignoble political gains. We don’t seek rhetorical apologies for what the Indian state did in June and November of 1984. Prime Ministers Dev Gowda, Inder Gujral and Atal Bihari Vajpayee have all expressed regret in various tones about what happened in 1984. These statements of regret mean little to us. We trust you are too sincere a person to oblige the self-serving politicians of Punjab with another condescending apology. Instead of rhetoric we suggest that you consider actions, which would be far more meaningful. Punjab has been bankrupted by corrupt politicians, a dishonest and oversized bureaucracy, a dysfunctional educational system, an agricultural economy that has seen limited growth in many years, and an extraordinarily high debt burden on the farmers. We ask you to form and fund a task force staffed not by bureaucrats or politicians, but forward-thinking academics, intellectuals, industrialists, farmers and businessmen from Punjab and around the world, to present concrete proposals within six months for economic reform in Punjab. We would expect that such a task force would leverage existing credible work, such as the Johl Committee report. If our additional input is sought, we can offer both concrete suggestions and potential participants for such an effort. W e ask you to seriously consider opening the border with Pakistan. This one act may not be a panacea for Punjab’s ills, but it may have the favorable consequence of opening up new trade routes and providing Punjabi farmers (on both sides of the border) new markets for their produce. An economist of your stature does not need us to enumerate the potential benefits of such a bold move. Thirdly, we suggest that you consider a radical solution to the intractable political problems of the sub-continent. The subcontinent was a diverse mosaic of many nations, tribes, cultures, languages, religions, and peoples. Colonial powers methodically leveraged and manipulated this diversity for their own commercial ends. When these diverse groups banded together to resist colonialism, the British carelessly abandoned the sub-continent. A territory that had taken some 150 years to unite into British India was disbanded in a matter of a few years. As British India crumbled, the English executed short-sighted and hasty policies that not only caused cataclysmic violence in 1947, but also have continued to cause turmoil in the sub-continent. Aside from conflict between the nations of the sub-continent, much of the conflict within these nations—the Mohajirs in Pakistan, the Sikhs in India, the Chakmas in Bangladesh, the Tamils in India and Sri Lanka, the Brahmins in Bhutan, the Hindus in Bangladesh, the Gorkhas in India, the Maosts in Nepal, to name only a few of the “thousand mutinies” as V.S. Naipaul might call them—can be fairly attributed as a legacy of colonialism. We submit that a radical re-think that involves all the diverse people of the sub-continent is required because their fates are interconnected. It is premature to suggest what the outcome of such a dialogue would be, but what might emerge is a Sub-Continental Union (SU). The SU would be similar to the European Union (EU) in some ways, but also different in that the SU would not merely transplant European and Western ideas without ensuring t heir relevance to the unique historicity and culture of the sub-continent. Should such a Sub- Continental Union preserve the rights of self-determination for the many nations and peoples of the sub-continent, we are confident that such a political structure would truly allow the people of the subcontinent to finally bask in the “glow of freedom,” economic, religious, social and political. In conclusion, since the Shiromani Khalsa Dal was only recently constituted, allow us to introduce ourselves. We represent that segment of Sikhs and Punjabis that was disillusioned with India, and after 1984 turned decidedly unfriendly towards her. We respect your intellect too much to reiterate India’s sordid history of Hindisation and Hinduisation, apropos neologisms for the homogenization of the once splendid diversity of cultures, languages, tribes and faith traditions extant on the sub-continent before 1947. Nor will we dwell on the crescendo of violence visited upon the Sikhs that reached a gruesome climax in 1984, followed by a decade of extra-judicial killings that even the Supreme Court of India was compelled to deem “genocide.” Suffice it to say that we speak for those who were forced to resist state violence by all means necessary after the Indian state granted impunity to those who kill Sikhs. No doubt many rogues and thugs exploited this conflict to add to Punjab’s horror, but that is the nature of violence. Unbridled violence, especially by the state, always has macabre consequences. An enduring legacy of that violence is not only scores of devastated homes in Punjab, but also many young Sikhs in jails, and some even awaiting death in Indian prisons. India remains one of the few countries in the world that chooses to kill an incarcerated human being. In this regard perhaps you will consider Maharaja Ranjit Singh as a role model for he is reputed to have abolished the death penalty in his kingdom. As Sikhs committed to our Guru’s traditions we genuinely seek harmony and are committed to the Sikh principle of persevering to resolve issues peacefully. After twenty years of resistance, during which we have lost many brothers and sisters to fake and real encounters with the Indian state, we once again endeavor to pursue our objectives through peaceful means, as the Sikhs did in the three decades before 1978. We look forward to hearing from you, and continuing a thoughtful and courageous dialogue. We also beseech the Tenth Nanak, the Rider of the Blue Steed, to grant you courage, wisdom and compassion as you provide leadership to India, Punjab and we hope the entire subcontinent. Sincerely, Daljit Singh President Shiromani Khalsa Dal and members of the working committee. Note: This letter was sent to the office of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

where did u get this book from i want it

http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/mag/index.htm update on air india even the hindu newspaper admits only circumstantial evidence no physcial proof whatsoever against the singhs and everyone knows reyat was fed up of jail and struck a deal for 5 years if they had enough evidence against him they would have pressed him for murder and given him life instead of mansluaghter

good points also the mand area near the beas, where militants used to hide has been destroyed too. when it used to flood, it used to provide good area to hide but not longer as the government destroyed it effectively under kps gill's night time control policy. an armed struggle now wont work on a mass scale, it may do in the future if things change on a worldwide political level targetting individuals such as kps gill sajjan kumar etc that is a different matter that i think will not upset as many people, and many would agree with it

http://www.hindu.com/2004/10/13/stories/20...01309350400.htm

i dont know much about this to be honest. just found the article the indians just want to suppress us more. to demoralise us further abroad that is the plan
