Good discussion question. The cards are heavily stacked against us.
- We are a religious minority surrounded by hostile majorities with one side wanting to convert us and the other incrementally trying to revert us. Failing which, they both would happily genocide us.
- Even the area of Punjab we wanted to make our homeland is over 40 % non-Sikh as @Ranjeet01 pointed out. Why would Punjabi Hindus want to limit themselves when they have the option of being part of a Billion+ Hindu India?
- We are not strategically important for any of the world powers to take notice
- We don’t have any existing Sikh power to offer backing. The diaspora hadn’t [hasn’t] reached that intellectual or financial level where it can act as a stateless power.
I think the kharku movement, and especially the personality of Santji, reignited the diminished spirit of our people. Even if we were beaten, the awareness that we need sovereignty continues. We have time to regroup, strategize and plan for the future. The diaspora is growing and gaining wealth and knowledge, and most importantly a clear picture of what the hell happened to us starting from the loss of our Sikh Raj. The crap of caste oppression we continued and how it has severed a chunk of our panth from mazabi, chamar communities. Learn from our mistakes. Learn from the success of others in similar situations. Assimilate this knowledge and create a pragmatic plan.
We need to learn the art of politics. How to stay neutral and use our adversaries to our advantage. We need to build up our strength through caste eradication, social upliftment of all our members, creation of a new education model that instills our core values. Then we wait for the opportunity. Let China Pakistan and India have their threesome. In that chaos will be our chance to do what we should have in 1947. Take what is ours, and some more for good measure.
I think what we need to do is start converting people instead of talking about khalistan. Not all wars are fought in the battlefield, some are fought covertly. We need to convert the UP Bihar people that come to punjab as a message to these hindus. I hate our people who form these alliances with these other people . Like we ourself are struggling for survival and all these sjw care about is getting brownie points from supporting movements that have no link to us. I mean how many these people are gonna come help sikhs when we are in trouble. I dont understand why our people are always dying to help others when their own house is burning.
Why our freedom movement died out?
