Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!! Epilogue: Shahid Bhai Sukhdev Singh Babbar Conclusion - PART 9 FINAL Days After Shahidi The day after Bhai Sahibs shaheedi was announced, his body was taken to Ludhiana Civil Hospital under tight army security. A post mortem was done, then quickly the body was taken to a commemoration ground and cremated. The authorities knew the popularity of Bhai Sahib in Punjab, and wanted to make sure no huge funeral could take place. Worldwide numerous Akhand Paths & Rainsbhais were held in Bhai Sahib memory. The genocidal Chief Minister Beant Singh put a state wide curfew on the 20th August to ensure no Akhand Path bhogs are held. This curfew was enforced with a “shoot to kill” policy on anyone seen walking the streets. A day before, in the village Dhassuwal, Amritsar, an akhand path bhog was held for the longest serving leader of the Khalistan Movement. Realising the impact on this, roadblocks were set on a 35km radius. All the villages within the radius were evacuated. Anyone trying to get to the bhog ceremony was arrested or shot on sight. Thousands of Police and Army personnel were sent to the area to enforce this. So the 37 year old leader of the Sikh Freedom Movement, who was six foot tall, with a good build, hawkish eyes, brave warrior, and creator of the Babbar Khalsa had no Shaheedi smagam in his home village, but all of the world it was commemorated. In his house, surrounded by Police, 5 young Singhs, his father, Bapu Jind Singh, his wife Bibi Sukhwant Kaur, Bibi Gurmeet kaur - his sister-in-law and wife of Bhai Mehal Singh, brothers Rushal Singh and Angrej Singh, and sisters Swaran kaur, Charan kaur, Jeet kaur, and cousins Harbans Singh, Daljeet Singh and Sukha Singh were allowed to stand in ardas at the Akhand Path Bhog. They were all surrounded by Police. Outside the Police had arrested and taken to prison everyone who tried to attend or was already present at the bhog. This included over 100 men, over 200 bibian, Bhai Sahib`s relatives, his children:- Tejinder Singh (13 years old), Gurvinder Singh (9 years old) and Amrit kaur (11 years old). Bhai sahib nephews:- Balraj Singh (19 years old) and Pargat Singh (17 years old), and other relatives Baghel Singh, Rashpal Singh, Baljit Singh, Baldev Singh, Dalbir Singh were also arrested and put in cells. Eve those Gursikhs making langar were not spared police arrest. Character Assassination The Indian Security Services and especially RAW (Research and analysis Wing) knew the Babbar Khalsa group were a puritan group whos fight was based on high ideals. Jathedar Sukhdev Singh was an iconic figure in Punjab and the backbone of the movement. They knew they had to discredit him to make sure no new Sukhdev Singh should rise from his ashes. This policy had already been used effectively on Deepa Heeran wale who was hugely popular in his area. So a detailed propaganda campaign was launched by the security forces, and spread via the press, and even via other agents amongst the Sikh leadership. In hindsight now it is easy to see who is who. In them days it was more difficult. Just compare the sacrifices of Jathedar Sukhdev Singh Babbar, Anokh Singh Babbar, Gurjant Singh Budhsinghwala, Avtar Singh Brahma, and Gurbachan Singh Manochal, with those who spoke against them such as Badal, Wassan Zaffarwal, Dr Jagjit Chohan and other Panthik traitors. Jathedar Sukhdev Singh was attacked on two points which is important to be cleared, as the propaganda was done over a number of years to the Sikh masses and some many still question Bhai Sahib. Firstly, comments were made on his lifestyle mainly due to the house in which he lived. The house was very large and well decorated. We have to understand for Bhai Sahib to live for 14 years and take guerrilla warfare to the level that he did, plus also co-ordinate efforts world wide, he could not have done this living in a field, a ditch, or a shack. The house and lifestyle were part of his disguise as the rich building contractor, which gave him access to numerous telephone lines, faxes, and powerful contacts. This was essential to run a parallel government like he between 1986 -1989. Secondly propaganda was spread that he remarried and had children. This is also not true. Bhai Sahib was only married once to Bibi Sukhwant kaur in 1978, and he had children with her. To maintain his disguise, he could not have his actual wife living with him. She was constantly under surveillance, and it would blow his disguise straight away. As part of the disguise, it was made to look like he had a family. This was with a Bibi Parcharak who was sympathetic to the cause, and the child was adopted from a Shaheed Parivaar. Bhai Sahib was a Gursikh of high calibre, with amazing qualities and a Jeevan full of Seva , Simran and Sacrifice……Today the Panth desperately needs more like him… Movement Slows Down This period between mid 1992 to 1993 saw the capture of many of the Leadership of the movement. Within months, Bhai Rashpal Singh Chandra, Bhai Gurjant Singh Budhsinghwala, Jathedar Sukhdev Singh Babbar and Baba Gurbachan Singh Manochal were Shaheed. Other key figures shifted operations to Pakistan and other countries. Later Wassan Zaffarwal, Dr Sohan Singh and Dr Jagjit Chohan showed their true colours. Bhai Daljit Singh Bittu was arrested and held in prison for many years under TADA. In the run up to the next election, Congress Chief Minister Beant Singh made a statement that he was higher the Sahib Siri Guru Gobind Singh, because he has killed all his Singhs. By now a new generation had joined this path. Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara had set up a unit, which decided to show Congress leader Beanta that Singhs had not been finished yet. A young Singh called Bhai Dilawar Singh Babbar sacrificed himself to assassinate Beant Singh and many of his aides. KPS Gill still walks free today…….

Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!! Shahidi: Shahid Bhai Sukhdev Singh Babbar Part 8 Jathedar Jee's Capture and Shahidi Punjab had by now become a state with Police , black cats, army positioned in every corner, road, village, etc. It was becoming very difficult for Singhs to move from place to place. Bhai Sahib was actually arrested a few days before he was declared Shaheed. The police had traced him to his house in Patiala. When he was arrested, Bhai Sahib said, "The Sukhdev Singh you are looking for has left, all that is left now is this body. You may do with it as you please." He was tortured severely, but never revealed a word about his fellow Singhs, who after his Shaheedi took 6 months before they could regroup again in Pakistan. Shaheed Saroop of Jathedar ji KP Gill Makes the Announcement In the end, on 9th August 1992, it was announced that Bhai Sahib was shaheed in a police encounter. Incidently Bhai sahib`s birthday and Shaheedi day were on the same date. On the 10th August newspaper front pages were headlines that Babbar Khalsa Chief has been killed. The notorious KPS Gill made a statement, “The leader of Babbar Khalsa, Bhai Sukhdev Singh Babbar has been killed near Ludhiana in a Police encounter. Babbar was responsible for the murder of Nirankari Gurbachan and a 1000 others.” Gill.bmp While using his fingers to twist his moustache, on national TV, KPS Gill, further stated that now “Gurbachan Singh Manochal, Parmjit Singh Panjwar and Wassan Singh Zaffarwal should now surrender, otherwise they would meet the same fate as Jathedar Sukhdev Singh Babbar and Khalistan Liberation Force Leader Bhai Gurjant Singh Budhsinghwala.” (who was Shaheed just months earlier). He further stated “Sukhdev Singh Babbar not only supplied Babbar Khalsa with weapons, but all the other groups aswell. He was responsible for firstly, the liquidation of most of the Nirankari leadership, the Nirankari Baba Gurbachan, Niranjan Singh I.S.S in Chandigarh. Further major operations in Punjab, Delhi and Haryana, and was an expert in precise bombs explosions to kill targets. He also killed Agriculture Minister D.S. Tyagi, Ex-Cabinet Minister Joginderpal Painde in Ludhiana at Bhai Bala Chowk, Manjit Singh SHO, and many other dignatories & politicians. A more accurate list of Bhai Sahib missions can be researched from “Vangaar” magazine copies. Many notorious names such as Radhe Shaam (Congress Leader), Khishi Raam Sharma (BJP Leader), and murderous police officers - Hargeet Singh S.H.O, Ghabar Singh S.H.O. of Ludhiana can be added to the list. The Babbar Khalsa unit of Bhai Anokh Singh was sent to Delhi after the riots of 1984, under a plan drawn by Jathedar ji. They were credited with assassinations and explosions which killed many leading Congress politicians and planners of the riots. Baba Manochahal on Jathedar Jee Baba Gurbachan Singh Manochal released a tape praising the character of Bhai Sahib. Politically their views differed. Bhai Sahib was in favour of boycotting elections, while Baba Manochal was in favour of standing in them. Bhai Sahib saw this as accepting Indian supremacy and against the 1986 Declaration of Khalistan. However despite this difference the Pyaar between the two Great Generals was clear to see. When Police raided his Bhai Sahib house, where he had lived in disguise, they found numerous. There books which detailed the Russian and French Revolutions. Other books on American Independence and its constitution, and books on English History and the workings of its Parliament. This showed how far Bhai sahib has studied into how nations are built and structured. To be concluded..... Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!!

BUMP!!! STICKY PLEASE FOR THESE TWO DAYS IF YOU CAN? Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!!

Tarna Dal has also split into many factions just like Budha Dal and the one you talk about veer jee is the HarianVela Tarna Dal under, as you say, Jathedar Baba Nihal Singh Jee (HarianVela Wale) and yes, they have contributed a lot to the Panth. Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!!

Khalra panel cries foul Paramjeet Kaur Khalra Tarn Taran, November 30 2005 The Khalra Mission Committee (KMC) and the Punjab Human Rights Organisation (PHRO) in a press statement issued here today alleged that the policemen convicted in the Jaswant Singh Khalra murder case were moving freely. Ms Paramjit Kaur Khalra, wife of Mr Khalra of the KMC, and Justice Ajit Singh Bains and Mr Kirpal Singh Randhawa, chairman and deputy chairman of the PHRO, alleged that workers of their organisations had seen Jasbir Singh Bhagupur, former SHO of Manochahal, moving on a motor cycle on November 24 at Patti, while Satnam Singh, former SHO of Chabal, was seen in Batala the same day. The signatories said that they had proofs in this matter. The signatories demanded a judicial inquiry into the allegation. The leaders further alleged that the state government, the Union home ministry and the Director-General of Police, Punjab, Mr S.S. Virk, are behind this illegal act. Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!!

That picture is of the Shaheedi Saroop of Shaheed Bhai Gurdev Singh Debu, a Singh who was close to Sant Jarnail Singh Jee Khalsa Bhindranwale, who later was one of the Singhs along with Bhai Manbir Singh Chaheru, Bhai Mathra Singh and Bhai Tarsem Singh Kuhaar to form the orginal Khalstan Commando Force and was the area commander of the "Doaba" area. Bhai Sahib was betrayed by a government agent infiltrate in the jathebandhi and taken by the Nazi Punjab Police, tortured mercilessly by inhuman methods (starved in small hot room, bones broken and twisted, legs cut open and hot chillis thrust in, body then pierced by red hot iron rods, even went so far as to cut out Bhai Sahib’s eye), but Bhai Sahib Jee didn't speak a word of the whereabouts, weapons and working of the Commando Force, he was then boiled alive to death and YES, as you say, the scene of Bhai Dayala in the boiling cauldron was repeated again and this Singh too did not falter!!! Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!!

...and by the way, those of you who haven't been to Guru Arjan Dev Ji Gurdwara in Derby - the photos they have got up there are BEAUTIFUL, must be like 40 pictures of Singh Shaheeds and those who died fighting for Khalstan!!! Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!!

Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!!

Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!! Days of Genocide: Shahid Bhai Sukhdev Singh Babbar Part 7 Discipline Amongst the Ranks It is essential in any successful organisation to have discipline amongst the ranks. Bhai Sahib would initially only allow Spiritual and Rehitvaan Gursikhs into the ranks of Babbar Khalsa. However over the years, many of the diamonds of the Movement became Shaheed such as Bhai Anokh Singh, Bhai Sulakhan Singh, etc. Some say joining forces with other Jujahroo groups led to Babbar Khalsa losing its Rehit. It is easy to sit back and criticise and hard to do Seva. When the first generation of Singhs became Shaheed, the new recruits that were coming in, were not fighting as much because they Khalsa, and wanted to establish a homeland Khalistan on high ideals. They were coming in because of Police excesses, rape & torture in villages. As a result all Jujarhoo groups lost Singhs who had full faith in Gurmat, and never compromised their ideals. Many of the new recruits were mere kids, and the experienced Jujarhoos, themselves such as Jathedar were just in their late twenties, early thirties. Singhs were boiled alive So in this new atmosphere maintaining discipline was very important. It was difficult to do, because without exposing who you are, how can you directly communicate with the ranks? You never know which youth will succume to torture in the future, or maybe a spy infiltrating the group. The way Bhai Sahib would keep an eye on the ranks, was to sometimes pretend to be a simple Singh fighting with some cells. He would go on missions with grass roots Singhs. But these Singhs never knew that this six foot, well built Singh was the Jathedar. This way he kept an eye on the ranks, without exposing himself. Punjab Police and the Movement Between 1978 till the late 1980`s, many Punjab police officers actually helped the Singhs, or ignored their activities. The government was aware of this, which is why during the early days they relied more on the army. When the 5 Jujahroo groups joined forces, one of the first statements was made by Jathedar ji. In this statement, he asked all freedom fighting Singhs to not kill innocent Police Officers, and no one was to harm any families of Police Officers. This was a visionary statement, and went along way to reducing tensions between them. Jathedar ji knew the fight was not against other Punjabis, but it was against the Brahmins who used the Indian Government machinery to destroy Sikhi. Security Services realising the impact of this statement, and also realising that the Singhs were now during the period of 1986-1989, completely controlling Punjab, they changed their tactics. The Security services via Police Commander Ribero created groups called “Black cats”. These were security services personnel, cruel police officers, some nihangs, and criminals. They would dress up as Singhs, and commit heinous crimes against innocents in Punjab. This would include kidnapping, murder, rape, torture, looting, etc. They did this dress as Singhs in bana, and after their crimes drop names of leading freedom fighters to give them a bad name in the Punjab villages which sympathised and protected the Singhs. This policy was used very effectively against Baba Manochal group, and others. The policy worked in many ways, it stopped villagers sympathising with groups, it caused problems within groups, who were not sure if the tales of woe were true. Plus the victims were those who need most protection, and the “black cats” were always richly rewarded. Many times, it was the same police officers who dressed as Singhs at night to pare and loot, then in the morning they would go and investigate, only to get recognised by the victims. untitled.bmp Police wipe out whole families When the Congress leader Beant Singh came to power he created a policy of “Shoot to Kill” any Sikhs, without any reason. To ensure the Punjab police do not lose their hunger for genocide. He took the “black cat” policy to another level. KPS Gill is able and highly violent Commander of Police, even went as far, as sending “black cats” to kill innocent Police Officers and their families. The horror of this motivated all police officers to wipe Punjab`s earth of any Sikh youth. It kept them motivated to mass murder, pillage, loot, and annihilate any family linked to any freedom fighter. Fake Police encounters became everyday practice, and were treated as a points scoring game. Every evening for years, KPS Gill would phone each of his main officers in each district, and they would have to report numbers of Sikh youth they had killed that day. So one would say 25, another 30, another 45. Whoever was the lowest would be frowned upon, or told he was not patriotic enough. These were the genocidal days of 1989 -1992. to be continued... Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!!

Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!! Justice delayed is justice denied Sunday 27th November, 2005 D S Gill - Chair IHRO Justice delayed is justice denied Partial justice was delivered in Khalra murder case We must continue to get justice till KPS Gill is punished Jaswant Singh Khalra, General Secretary of the Human Right Wing of the Shiromani Akali Dal, a Sikh political party, was picked up by the police from his home at 8 Kabir Park, Amritsar, at 9:15 a.m. on September 6, 1995 and had not been seen since. Amnesty International sought the intervention of Home Minister S. B. Chavan and Punjab Chief Minster Harcharan Singh Brar for the release of Mr. Khalra. It expressed fears about his safety, saying: "He has not been produced in court and his relatives have not been officially informed about his whereabouts." International Human Rights Organisation (IHRO) also urged his immediate release. IHRO Chairperson D. S. Gill asked the Chief Minister Mr Brar to personally intervene and ensure Mr. Khalra's release. An Akali Dal delegation led by Gurcharan Singh Tohra, President, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), in the meantime met, Punjab Governor B. K. N. Chhibber. On September 12, the Supreme Court of India issued notice to the Punjab Police and the state government to explain the disappearance. It treated the telegram sent by the SGPC president Mr. Tohra as a habeas corpus petition and heard the petition filed by Paramjit Kaur, spouse of Mr. Khalra. In her petition, Ms Khalra alleged that the Tarn Taran police had picked up her spouse using the assassination of Beant Singh as an excuse. In actuality, however, the Tarn Taran police wanted to settle a score with him as he had enabled several victims of police excesses to file cases in the high court that had put the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Ajit Singh Sandhu, in a tight spot. A large number of political and human rights groups gathered at Chandigarh on September 28 to protest against the disappearance. More than 200 human rights and political activists joined the protest march to Raj Bhawan (Governor’s home) barefooted on that day. They included Simranjit Singh Mann, Harcharan Singh Rode, Justice A. S. Bains, D. S. Gill, R. N. Kumar, Gurtej Singh, Ranjan Lakhanpal, Gurdip Singh, Gurbhajan Singh Gill and Kalyan Singh Patna Sahib. As a followup, IHRO called upon Sikh and other human rights groups to celebrate December 10, the UN Human Rights Day as protest day against Mr. Khalra's disappearance. Protests and demonstrations were held in India, North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Asian and African countries. There was a protest march to Parliament in New Delhi. Hundreds of protesters demonstrated near Parliament Police Station, where they held a rally. They accused the government of allowing the security forces in Punjab to violate the rule of law. Supreme Court lawyer and eminent human rights activist Ms Nitya Ramaswamy warned: "If the institutional remedies against such violations were not forthcoming, bonds of nationhood that bind the people with the state shall cease to be." Ms Sudesh Vaid alleged: "The CBI lacks the necessary power and independence to determine the truth in case of serious human rights violation by important functionaries of the security forces, especially in Punjab," reports United News of India (UNI). According to the UNI story filed by Jaspal Singh Sidhu, Sikh Student Federation (SSF) leader Rajinder Singh Mehta, well-known human rights activist D. S. Gill, Justice A. S. Bains and former Akal Takht Jathedar Bhai Jasbir Singh Rode were among the several other personalities who participated and spoke at the rally. Akal Takht acting Jathedar Prof. Manjit Singh also joined the march besides several other Akali leaders. They included Mr. Tohra, President, SGPC, Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa (Badal group), Sucha Singh Chhotepur (Mann Group), DSGMC president and its membership. Members of PUCL and PUDR and other civil rights groups too joined the protest march. In a memorandum to UK Prime Minister John Major, IHRO European President, Barrister Harjit Singh said: "The worrying aspect of the Khalra saga is that it is not an isolated incident. In Punjab, such cases are legion. In 1992 another human rights activist and lawyer, Kulwant Singh Saini, along with his young spouse and 15 month-old son, was killed by the police when Saini turned up at the police station to represent a client. It was the family's misfortune to accompany him to the police station. Clearly, the police wanted no witnesses. Other three Sikh lawyers working in the human rights field have also been killed since. The Indian Constitution and the Indian Penal and Criminal Procedure Codes do provide safeguards against unacknowledged detentions but these are of little use in practice. In such cases and particularly in instances of 'disappearances,' cases brought before the courts move extremely slowly. Another exasperating factor is that the Chief Minister of Punjab and the Director General of Punjab Police, KPS Gill, have been working hand in glove. Indeed, KPS Gill is the political overlord in the state and is responsible for thousands of extrajudicial killings. We, therefore, urge you to intercede with the Indian authorities to ensure Mr. Khalra’s release forthwith; alternatively that he is brought before the courts and charged.” Responding to the memorandum, John Major asked the Foreign Office to reply. FL Gristock, South Asia Department, in its letter of December 1995, informed the IHRO European office: "Our High Commission in New Delhi is monitoring the case of Mr Khalra and has on several occasions, most recently on 12 December, raised this case with the Indian Government." IHRO North America Coordinator Gurdev Singh Gill, in a similar memorandum to Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, said: "Since you are leading a large team to India for investment purposes we strongly feel that it is the right time to remind you about Mr Khalra's disappearance. Canadian short-term economic interests should never prevail over human lives. Canada being a champion of Human Rights, you may please consider linking every agreement signed with Government of India with correcting their human rights record. Let us make loud and clear that unabated human rights violation and suppression of minorities can no longer be tolerated in the New World order. I therefore urge you to intercede with the Indian Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao to ensure Mr. Khalra's release." Mr Chrétien took up the case with Mr Rao and Mr Brar, while in New Delhi. It is believed that he had also met Ms Khalra there. Canadian Foreign Minister, Andre Ouellette, in a letter to the IHRO coordination office, Toronto, told that they had raised the matter with Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee in the United Nations, New York, in October and in the meeting of the Heads of Commonwealth Countries at Auckland, New Zealand, in November last. Colleen Beaumier, MP, also lobbied to obtain Mr Khalra' release. She mobilized other MPs. and Senators. Herb Dhaliwal and Gurbax Singh Malhi, both Sikh MPs, who had accompanied Mr Chrétien to India, did a lot in this case on behalf of the Sikh community there. IHRO and some Sikh organisations joined hands in Toronto and observed January 26 as "black day" in protest against the disappearance. The protesters appealed to their fellow Canadians to rethink their policy of trade missions to a country like India that has a bad record of human rights. Twenty-four Sikh organisations of the United States of America and Canada, in an advertisement published in New York Times on the opinion page in December, accused India of state terrorism. They said that Mr Khalra (about whom President Bill Clinton has showed his concern) was indeed arrested and disappeared after he filed a legal petition that the Punjab police had killed and cremated hundreds of Sikhs. US Members of Congress John Doolittle and Dan Burton, in their resolution (No 233 of September 28, 1995) in House of Representatives, condemned the disappearance, saying: "The House joins World Sikh Organisation in condemning the abduction of Mr Khalra and urging his immediate release." Rep. Vic Fazio and 60 other Members of Congress wrote to Mr Rao, expressing their concern about Mr Khalra's fate. Despite hundreds of petitions from all over the world and numerous demonstrations, the Punjab police continued dilly-dallying. It was only last week that the CBI court at Patiala awarded mild sentence of life imperisomment to DSP Jaspal Singh and others, while completely ignoring the role of KPS Gill in the murder of Mr Khalra. We must continue to get justice for Mr Khalra till KPS Gill is also punished.

Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!! Spiritual Jeevan: Shaheed Bhai Sukhdev Singh Babbar Part 6 Jathedar Sukhdev Singh's Jeevan Bhai Sahib had a very high Jeevan. His eyes shone, and his stature was like Purataan Gursikhs. He was very quiet, but was highly intelligent. He never raised his voice, and always spoke with a sweet voice. Jathedar jee was very close to Bhai Anokh singh. Both singhs would live for days on sholay de daane (chick peas) and Naam. Even during great hardship, moving by the night and living undercover they managed to keep there Bibekta and amrit vela. His daily prayers would last many hours, as he meditated peacefully on God. He was a very humble and caring man, soft-spoken, yet very determined and strong of character. He was a perfect example of a Gursikh. The Punjab Police and Indian Intelligence Services made capturing and eliminating Bhai Sahib their top priority. They realised he was the backbone of the movement. As other Generals were being Shaheed, they were being replaced, however Bhai Sahib was so iconic and organisationally effective, he would be irreplaceable. Many Singhs were tortured in the cruelest of manner to find out the where-abouts of Bhai sahib. However such was their love and respect for him, that they never uttered a word. Both Bhai Anokh Singh and Bhai Sulakhan Singh had amazing spiritual Jeevans. Both when captured were severely tortured. Bhai Anokh Singh jis was tortured for many days, his eyes were removed, his tongue was cut off, and his insides were exposed and hot peppers pushed in. Bhai Sulakhan Singh was Shaheed just as Bhai Mani Singh ji was, as he was cut joint from joint. Shaheed Vice Jathedar Sulakhan Singh at Right Bhai Manmohan Singh just stated to his torturers that his name was Manmohan Singh. He said ask me anthing else you want, that is all I will tell you. After many days torture, the only words the police heard from his mouth were “Waheguru”, until he also was ultimately Shaheed. Another Singh, close to Bhai Sahib had his legs tied between two jeeps, which drove off, ripping him in half. For 14 years Bhai Sukhdev Singh led the Khalistan movement in Punjab. He ensured many responsible for the genocide against sikhs, met there suitable ends. During the late 80`s and early 90`s, the Singhs were so strong, that they virtually ran a parallel government in Punjab. Even international magazines, such as article in India Today had reported that Bhai Sukhdev Singh Jee was the "most prominent militant leader since 1978, who had, over the years, acquired an aura of Invincibility". With Bhai Sukhdev Singh at its helm "Babbar Khalsa had acquired a reputation as the most puritanical, austere, and ideologically committed militant organisation". Most Indian journalists regarded the organisation as above the other groups as it owned up to its assassinations and condemned the killings of innocent civilians. There was another report in India Today where an un-named Police officer told the paper that when they tortured Gursikhs by cutting there muscles and pouring chilli powder into the cuts and also using hot poke into the eyes and muscles and ripping the muscles of the bones he used to hear Naam-Simran and also Paath. In one such case was when he witnessed the death of Bhai Anokh Singh Jee Babbar. He left the police shortly afterwards due to stress and mental problems. To really understand what Bhai sahib was you have to consider one thing. If we youth today, most of whom are the same age as these Singhs were when they did all this Seva, had intelligence services, police, black cats, sikh informers after us. How long do you think we would last? Probably a few days. Bhai sahib lasted 14 years. Virtually hundreds of Singhs were shaheed under torture in efforts by Punjab police to find Bhai sahib. They had there families annihilated. But such was the love and respect for Bhai sahib, no-one ever spoke. How much love does someone have for someone to do that? They saw their families killed, and were tortured limb by limb themselves, but never told where Jathedar Sukhdev Singh was. Then you understand what he was, and how highly he was held by so many. To become a singh with him, meant death, not only of you, but your whole family. There was no culture of fear around him, it was a culture of Love and Respect. Another mark of Jathedar ji, was after his Shaheedi, no group was for many years capable doing any major operation in India, until Bhai Dilavaaar Singh Babbar blew up the genocidal Beant Singh, Congress Chief Minister of Punjab. Even after that, the movement has never been the same. So many Dushts against Sikhi are still alive and active today. The Panth needs Gursikhs of the Calibre of Jathedar Ji. Never was there a better example of a Gursikh worthy of the title "Jathedar Ji". This was the mark of his Jeevan, the mark of the man and the Legend. to be continued...

Diwaan Samagams of Sant Baba Ranjit Singh Jee (Dhadrian Wale), I don't think any of them are really close to Ludhiana or Amritsar (maybe some of the areas i'm not too sure about are), but just in case you are near these areas. Depending on the day 'Sangraand' falls, you may still be in Punjab for the January Diwaan at Gurdwara Parmeshar Dwar Sahib, Patiala. I will post if I manage to find out, but it will definately be a beautiful experience and highlight - guaranteed lol! - I may also be going India during Dec/Jan for maybe about 2 weeks. 12//2005 TO 12/23/2005 Sadihari Patran Sangrur 1:00 TO 4:00 PM 12/24/2005 Masita Dabwali Sirsa (Haryana) 1:00 TO 4:00 PM 12/24/2005 TO 12/26/2005 Kangthali Kaithal Haryana 1:00 TO 4:00 PM 12/27/2005 TO 12/29/2005 Durg Bhalai Madhya Pardesh Chattisgarh 1 TO AM 12/30/2005 TO 01/01/2006 Calcutta City Calcutta Calcutta 7:00 TO 11:00 PM 12/27/2005 TO 12/29/2005 Durg Bhalai Madhya Pardesh Chattisgarh 7:00 TO 11:00 PM Stay in Chardee Kalaa, (O and stay away from Punjab Police as much as possible LOLz), Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!!

For an innocent GurMukh - yes it is - for a Sant Sipahee of the Panth who is dying for Dharam to become Shaheed - yes it is - a GurSikh who does not fear death, remember, does not die... ...but on the other hand, for a ManMukh who may be guilty, it is NOT the easy way out, as for them it REALLY IS death, and they will get questioned by Dharam Raj and be punished in a form of hell and then once again sent back into the cycle of birth and death! The death penalty is in no way an easy way out for the guilty ManMukh, it is the beggining of a REAL punishment for the soul, not the mere body. Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!!

Oooo Lol, missed your post sorry, started a similar one about the Nazi Punjab Police, here's my views on them anyway... http://www.sikhsangat.com/index.php?showtopic=15389 Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!!

Punjab Elections coming up in early 2007.....if the right people come into power, there may be more of a chance.....but who's going to vote panthic people like Sardar Simranjit Singh Mann in Punjab?? - most of them have no clue about what Khalstan is or the political working and thinking of India towards the Sikhs and the need for such an independent state!!! ...and I agree with "Sabre Sword" Jee, everyone has to stick and work together and make a single goal... ...but the fact is, this goal has already been made by the Sarbat Khalsa in 1986, and now it is the matter of STICKING to it as a whole Panth and achieving it... For most of the urban Sikhs its the Congress under Captain and for most of the rural Sikhs its Akali Dal under Badal.....if Akali Dal (Amritsar) under the leadership of Simranjit Singh Jee Mann comes into power, then we're getting somewhere... :lol: (ABOVE L-R): Sardar Simranjit Singh Jee Mann - President Akali Dal (Amritsar) giving a speech in favour of Khalstan, then arrested for making "anti-indian" speeches and supporting Khalstan, and another picture of the panthic leader giving a speech.

Punjab Police are a disgrace Almost all of them are corrupted or do become corrupted in a matter of few months or a couple of years after joining the Punjab Police. I personally know a close family freind who was (and know is again) a very good and ethical person. After joining the police he left it in a matter of months, in fact about 11 months to be precise. He said that he started to realise that he was starting to change, and in fact had become corrupted, but after going to a few Samagams and Diwaans at Gurdware, he started to quickly realise what he had started to become and do over a course of a few months. He said all the Police become corrupt beacuse of the officers around them and all the younger ones follow on quickly due to their "Sangat". He was very angry and said that all the senior officers should be shot dead and pretty much all Punjab Police is corrupt!!! Personally I would agree lol - they are all corrupt and a new police force should be trained without the present senior officials doing the talking - but then again - we are talking about India here - with a government to this date for the past 60 odd years that has proven to be not one help or in favour of the Khalsa Panth!!! Why would they do a favour for the Panth and Punjab know? You can tell by the very look on their faces, the way they stand around like dogs on islands and roads, chewing on "Pheme" and "Jarda" drugs, looking for any excuse with tounges sticking out like dogs to stop some one and get a bribe. Their very website is sickening, people like "Gobind Ram" is a considered as a "Shaheed Matyr", who used to make Singhs drink his urine and feces mixture by saying, "You have tasted the Amrit of Gobind Singh, now taste the amrit of Gobind Ram". He was assissanted by Shaheed Bhai Anokh Singh Jee Babbar... http://www.punjabpolice.org/martyr/index.html ...then Chardee Kalaa Singhs like Bhai Wadhawa Singh Jee Babbar, Bhai Mehal Singh Jee Babbar, Bhai Paramjit Singh Jee Panjwar...etc are labelled as "most wanted terrorists"... http://www.punjabpolice.org/wanted/index.html Even the new DGP of Punjab di "kuthee" Police - "S S Virk" - is the same - he has recently been defending the police officials that have been "charged" (not much really) with the murder of Shaheed Bhai Jaswant Singh Jee Khalra! PUNJAB POLICE IS A DISGRACE TO HUMAN RIGHTS AND HUMANITY!!! Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!!

Now that is one of the most best and intelligent comments I have heard! I agree 110%!!! With the blessings of Vaheguroo, Daas had the opportunity to have sangat of Sant Baba Thakur Singh Jee on a number of occasions in UK and India - WHAT CAN I SAY? - most of you have already said it very nicely..... They always kept their head low, very very humble, a perfect example, spoke very little, but when they did speak, their words had a huge impact! My head bows to such a Sant Mahapursh Than Than Pooran Brahmgiani Mahapursh Sant Baba Thakur Singh Jee Khalsa!!! ........Pooran Bhagat Brahmgiani who led the Damdami Taksal in the most challenging of times after 1984 to 2004..... Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!!

Thought so, Thanks........... Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!!

I'm sure Gurdwara Sree Dukh Niwaran Sahib comes into 'Patiala', not 'Ludhiana', unless this a different one, but I definately know the one I have been to, the historical one is in 'Patiala', unless 'Ludhiana' also comes into 'Patiala' as well somehow lolz.....

Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsa, Vaheguroo Jee Kee Phateh!!! Time to Regroup: Shahid Bhai Sukhdev Singh Babbar - Part 5 L to R: Unknown, Balwant Singh, Shahid Bhai Sukhdev Singh Babbar, Shahid Master Sukhwinder Singh Babbar, Shahid Bhai Sulakhan Singh Babbar Time to Regroup Bhai Sahib realised that many valuable Gursikhs had been lost during the Operation Blue Star and Operation Woodrose. The Government had also attacked 40 other Gurdwaras, aswell as Siri Darbar Sahib complex, and in total many thousands of Sikhs had died. The Babbars had to regroup a mount a long term sustainable guerrilla movement to establish Khalistan. The Babbars were instructed to cross the border into Pakistan. In Pakistan and other foreign countries, the Babbars started buying better quality weapons, and set up training camps. They created a plan to re-integrate into Punjab, under numerous disguises and set up an elaborate communication procedures. The Indian Intelligence Services were always of the opinion that Jathedar Sukhdev Singh lived in Pakistan. They stuck to this theory for many years. However Bhai Sahib never went to Pakistan. He just sent a cell of Gursikhs there to organise activities. Instead he continued his practice of leading from the front, and took part in actions in Punjab. Day by day as more and more missions were accomplished by the Singhs, daily reports came out in Press. Bhai Sahib was always quiet, but when he said something it had a lot of impact. People knew that everything he said happened, or Panthik dushts he targeted did get eliminated. Slowly his name from the press reports, came unto the lips of every person in Punjab. Young boys in schools, when arguing in the playground, would say to each to other, “Who do you think you are? Are you Sukhdev Singh Babbar?” The name and the icon became born…… Bhai Sahib very cleverly became active under the disguise of a building contractor. He posed as a rich man, which allowed him to rub shoulder with those in power in Punjab. This way he kept in touch with all those, who made decisions to that affect Punjab everyday. It is also allowed him to keep faxes, and other elaborate communication devices, by which he communicated with Gursikhs on a world wide level, without raising suspicion. As a building contractor, he was also in touch with those controlling the construction of the canals which led Punjab river waters to other states. He subtly ensured that the contracts would not be completed, and the projects are continuously delayed. Plus being a rich man, he made politic contacts which gave him access to information about which police officers were active against the Singhs, and who was torturing and killing the Singhs. Further he began creating links with other Sikh Youth Jathebandies with like minded aims and objectives. This way he created a network called the “5 Member Committee”. This joined the forces of Babbar Khalsa, Khalistan Liberaton Force, (Avtar Singh Brahma, then Gurjant Singh Budsinghwale), Khalistan Commondo Force ( Parmjit Singh Panjwar), Bhinderawale Tiger Force (Rashpal Singh Chandra), Sikh Students Federation (Daljeet Singh Bittu). Later after losing all confidence in the leaders of the Akali Dal like Badal and Tohra. Bhai Sahib set up the Babbar Akali Dal to give a political voice in Punjab, and a voice for the widows of Delhi. However many of its leaders were given life imprisonment under TADA with no trial or charges.
