It is good to see progress is being made.
FYI: The National Sikh Heritage Centre & Holocaust Museum will be hosting a series of exhibitions from May onwards titled 'The Final Sikh Holocaust'. We will be focusing on the 'Cause and Conscious' leading up to the June 84 and then specifically the Delhi killings titled 'The Final Sikh Massacre'.
Our aim is to educate and amplify in easy to understand, meaningful and modern way the 84 eposide. Many Sikhs actually dont have an understanding of what led upto June 84.
Benti to the organisers of the large events that they be precise and objective on what they are trying to achieve. Is it:
a. Remember the Shaheeds and sacrilidge to Sri Harminder Sahib and other historic Gurdwaraeh: raise awareness/ education
b. Protest against the injustice of the Sikhs by the Indian government -ie. human rights violations
c. Promote Khalistan
d. Select elements of all the above
Having a specific theme rather than a broad-brush agenda would really show the Panth and general Public that we are a unifed force to be reckoned with. It allows the Panth to use a common language/ terms to hit the media with. For example, the general public get a distorted view if a group of Singhs saying to the media they want Khalistan and another group of Singhs saying they want to remember the Shaheeds. Break the 84 experience into digestible chunks.
One other very important point, whilst education and awareness/ rememberance, etc are all necessary can the organisers ensure we have a hard legacy from the 25th anniversary. It is common for everyone to go to a large event, participate, go home and carry with normal life -what we need is a UNIQUE hard legacy that will show the world that Sikhs commemorated the 25th anniversary for eternity.
For example, out of the 300th Gurgaddi celebrations of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji the first National Sikh Museum has born and endorsed by the UK Panth! Consequently, a Sikh Museum is now being setup in Amritsar !
Please let us know how we can assist.
Baul chuk maaf.
