  11. Vahegurooo Ji Ka Khalsaaah, Vahegurooo Ji Ka Fateeeeeh! HINDU NATION : BBCFour 9PM TOMORROW Sir Mark Tully travels through India examining how the collapse of secularism has created a vacuum in which Hindu nationalism is flourishing. He reveals the threat posed to India's tradition of religious pluralism by the growing intolerance and violence of the advocates of a Hindu nation. The tradition of religious pluralism, he argues, can only be restored by a return to the religious tolerance and unity embodied by Mahatma Gandhi. Please visit the following link to find out more : http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries...du-nation.shtml STORYVILLE : INDIA - FINAL SOLUTION ON BBCFour 9.50PM-11.20PM TOMORROW Filmed in 2002 and 2003, violence was tearing apart Muslim and Hindu communities in the state of Gujarat. Rakesh Sharma investigates race hate in India. Very strong language and disturbing scenes. Please visit the following link to find out more : http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries...-solution.shtml LOOKS LIKE BBC ARE DEFINATELY SHOWING IT THIS TIME ROUND!!!! This documenary was scheduled to be shown in November last year, however it was rescheduled. It was to be shown on the 27 February 2005 on BBC4 and is Re-re-scheduled for this Sunday the 20th at 9.50pm. Is Showing This Sunday the 20th at 9.50pm GMT Final Solution was shot over two and a half years by the Indian filmmaker Rakesh Sharma. It tells the story of a massacre of Muslims committed in the western state of Gujarat. It investigates the relationship between the BJP and those who instigated, and actually carried out the killings. For outsiders, it has three merits. Firstly it is an extraordinary and convincing film. Secondly, it offers a very rare insight into the details of democracy in India, and one that shouldn't encourage people to be snooty about its practices. Thirdly, it alarmingly suggests that Adolf Hitler's and Benito Mussolini's inventions were not confined to Europe. The BJP dresses up in saffron gear, but its conduct is that of a mid-20th-century fascist party. It is capable of fomenting plots in order to legitimise violence, and it nurses the most violent racial hatreds. Although the BJP's vote went down in the last elections, "it is hard to watch this film and not be alarmed by the prospect of Hindu fascism." Hard to watch? What about June 1984 storming? What about November '84 massacres? What about human abuse which is still going on in punjab?
  12. Vaheguroooo Ji Ka Khalsaaaah, Vaheguroooo Ji Ka Fateeeeeh! Here I quote from a smaller if significant book by Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha titled `We are not Hindus', to support what has been said in the Editorial. Says Bhai Kahn Singh: "Dear Member of the Khalsa: You may be surprised when you read what I have written. You will ask why there should be any need of such a work as We are not Hindus when it is perfectly obvious that the Khalsa is indeed distinct from Hindu society. Or you may want to know why, if such a work is to be written, there should not be books which show that we are not Muslims or Christians or Buddhists. In answering these questions let me acknowledge that such work is certainly not needed by those who already believe implicitly in the Gurus, who live in accordance with their teachings, and possess a sound understanding of the principles of the Khalsa tradition. This book has not been written for their benefit. It has been produced for the benefit of those brethren to whom the following historical parable applies. The tale, briefly, is as follows. "Guru Gobind Singh once clothed a donkey with lionskin and set it loose in the scrubland. Men as well as cattle thought it was a lion and were so frightened of it that none dared approach it. Released from the misery of carrying burdens and free to graze fields to it's heart's content, the donkey grew plump and strong. It spent its days happily roaming the area around Anandpur. One day, however, it was attracted by the braying of a mare from its old stable. The donkey cantered to the house of the potter who owned it and stood outside the stable. There it was recognized by the potter who removed the lionskin, replaced its pannier-bags, and once again began whipping it to make it work as beast of burden". "The Guru used this parable to teach his Sikhs an important lesson. `My dear sons and daughters,' he said, `I have not involved you in a mere pantomime, as in the case of this donkey. I have freed you wholly and completely, from the bondage of caste. You have become my sons and daughters and Sahib Kaur has become your mother. Do not follow the foolish example of the donkey and return to your old caste allegiance. If forgetting my words and abandoning the sacred faith of the Khalsa, you return to your various castes your fate will be that of the donkey. Your courage will desert you and you will have lived your lives in vain. "Many of our brethren are in fact neglecting this aspect of the Guru's teaching. Although they regard themselves as Sikhs of the Khalsa they accept the Hindu tradition. They imagine that it is actually harmful to observe the teachings of Gurbani by acknowledging that the Sikh religion is distinct from the Hindu religion. The reason for this is that they have neither read their own scriptures with care nor studied the historical past. Instead they have spent their time browsing through propagandist material and listening to the deceitful words of the self- seeking. The tragedy is that these brethren are falling away from the Khalsa. They forget the benefits which the Almighty Father has bestowed on them - how he has exalted the lowly, raised paupers to be kings, turned jackals into lions and sparrows into hawks. Seduced by those who oppose the Guru's teachings, they are ensnared by deceit and thereby forfeit the chance of deliverance which this human existence confers. "The book is restricted to the difference between Hindu tradition and the Khalsa because our brethren are already aware that they do not belong to other religions. This much they know, yet they mistakenly regard the Khalsa as a Hindu sect. I am confident that my erring brethren will return to their own tradition when they read this book. Realising that they are indeed the children of Guru Nanak and of all ten Gurus they will stand forth as members of the Khalsa, firmly convinced that we are not Hindus. Having thus pressed its vigorous claims to a separate Sikh identity the book concludes on an ironic note. Our country will flourish when people of all religions are loyal to their own traditions yet willing to accept other Indians as members of the same family, when they recognize that harming one means harming the nation, and when religious differences are no longer an occasion for discord. Let us practise our religion in the harmonious spirit of Guru Nanak, for thus we shall ensure that mutual envy and hatred do not spread. "Beloved brothers in the Panth of Guru Nanak, I am fully persuaded that having read the discussion recorded above you will recognize your separate identity as the Sikh community and that you will know beyond all doubt that we are not Hindus. At the same time you will grow in affection with all your fellow countrymen, recognizing all who inhabit this country of India as one with yourself." (Translated from original in Punjabi) Bhai Kahn Singh was a remarkable personality, a many-splendoured individual and a revolutionary in his time, particularly in the social sphere. He was a Jat Sikh (Dhillon) with a very distinguished lineage. He set an example as early as in 1914 by marrying his son - his only child to a non-Jat Sikh lady who later shone with literary achievements in her own right; I refer to the Punjabi poetess Harnam Kaur (1898-1976). His son, Bhai Bhagwant Singh Hari Ji (1892-1968) was also a distinguished author who shed all caste barriers both in belief and practice. I have had the privilege to meet them all. I have designedly used a nautical term in the title of this article, for when a ship goes astern, it either does so for a tactical manoeuvre to obtain an advantage later, or when in retreat. I starkly fear that we are in retreat - especially in the social sphere. Regrettably, our children, youth and even adults are increasingly unaware of the Khalsa traditions and we appear toward a drift to accept and participate in this retreat. The question is : being the children of the great Gurus who shed their last drop of blood-unequalled in the annals of any history - to fortify us with a strong moral fibre and a casteless society, we no longer remain what they wished us to be. And what could be a better occasion than Vaisakhi to take a pledge to shed caste and clan which is totally alien to the Sikh ideal. Today majority of the punjabi culture have shed their lionskin and become mere donkeys believing in hypocracy and living in duality. These donkeys go around roaring like lions saying "I am a Sikh, I am a Sikh" in all eventuality they have limited knowledge. "Hypocracy is not devotion speaking, Duality only leads to misery"- Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Amar Das Sahibji [Nanak III]

  20. Vahegurooo Ji ka Khalsaaah, Vahegurooooo Ji Ka Fateeeh! I am looking for quotes, by non-sikhs about Sri Guru Gobind Singhji.. A few examples of the quotes I have managed to obtain : Pir Bullah Shah "Na kahun abh kee, na kahun tab kee, agar na hote Guru Gobind Singh, to sunnat hoti sab kee" Translation : “I talk about neither yesterday nor tomorrow; talk about today. Had Guru Gobind Singh not been here, they would all been circumcised and converted to a foreign culture and religion.” Prof. T L Vaswani : "Guru Gobind Singhs personality is like a rainbow. He possessed sweet honeyed humility of Guru Nanak; lamblike virtue of Jesus Christ; spiritual wisdom of Gautam Buddha; bubbling energy of Hazrat Mohammed; sunkissed glory of Lord Krishna; abiding discipline of Lord Rama and more so; royal glamour of emperors." from his book In the Sikh Sanctuary. Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed : “Guru Gobind Singhji was a great warrior who fought tyranny for the just cause of the masses and strived for social harmony, equality and dignity of the people…. He was an apostle of peace, righteousness and love … his message of compassion holds good for all times to rid the society from tension and hatred.” - 8 Jan 2003 [http://jammukashmir.nic.in/view/jan82k3.htm] Please provide references
