ohna sarian nu meri sat sri akal jehre wakiyya(really) hee apne des punjab nu payar karde han, os bare sochde rehnde han ate shayad kai mere warge vee honge jehre raat nu apne supniyan de vich apne pind diyan galian ya kache pahian(dirt roads) de utte ghumde(wander around) honge.i'm writing somewords in english cuz many of the users of this website r born outside punjab, so maybe some of them may not understand.I came to US like two yrs ago,( badi agg lagee see mainu ke main vee bahar jana hai) but now i think about that punjabi chapter which i read in 10th grade in school , the title was "Des payar" and in that essay the writer is saying that des payar just doesnt fall from sky it comes slowly and slowly.It starts with love towards ur mother and then family and then when u grow up, u start to love ur village and then it takes the form of love towards ur country.
Now i realize how true is that?Cuz when i was in khalsa college,Amritsar and i was in hostel(a place where u live if u cannot go home every day) and i used to go home like after every two weeks and when i had to go back to amritsar i used to be very sad and i'll keep staring at my village even when the bus was taking me away from it.
I was 6 yrs old in 84 and i saw people living the dream of khalistan, i saw them fighting for it and then dying for it and with them the dream of khalistan.We call those people "Singh" or "babe" or "bhaoo".One time they came to my home to hide their AK 47's and they told my mom that they'll come again to take it back.I was 13 at that time and only god knows how scared we were cuz we were thinking the whole time if somebody saw them in our house and complained to the CRPF station which wasnt even 1Km away, then whats going to happen.They'll destroy our home and kill us all.But nothing happened.In summer holidays i used to go to my aunt's village which is very close to tarn taran, but the location was such that there village is isolated and their house was surrounded by farms of sugarcane and stuff .Anytime u go there u'll find like 8-10 singhs there.
Now why i'm telling u all this is that i have seen that dream of khalistan from a very close point.Cuz i'm reading the articles on that website from last ten days, like some hot articles about khalistan and some sikh guys talking about will u go to war for khalistan or will u die for khalistan.Some r like i'll die for khalistan.Wow thats too much information guys, i'll just say that "deeds not words".
Well ,i'm in the US army at that time and currently in baghdad.we r just ready to come back.Ai mere dosto,mitro,sathiyo, War is not an easy thing.I have seen people shaking,their hands slipping away from their weapons when it comes to life and death.
Ai mere naujwan sathiyo, i'm not trying to discourage u but why is it that the people who r born ouside punjab or they r living outside punjab, they r talking a lot about khalistan,thay always talk about sant jarnail singh bhindranwale but they talk a little of the likes of Shaheed-e-azam Bhagat singh, Kartar singh sarabha, shaheed Udham singh.Why, why is that?and then there r ppl who were born there and lived there, but they dont think that way.
This can be a little funny, like when i was in 9th grade my father brought me a book, covering the history of sikhs from 1708(after shah-e-shanshah Guru Gobind Singh) to the day when they lost it to British in 1845 at sabhraw on the banks of sutluj.Though i had read several small books about sikh history before but that was a huge book, in too much detail, written by Col narinderpal singh("sir deeje kan na keeje").After reading that book i was so inspired and still i'm that i was like hey dad i'm ready to go, to go to war but then my dad was like "no kid wait and read it again.The singhs u have read about in this book r not out there yet".Well this is becoming so long essay so i'll just wrap it up now.
The thing is we did some mistakes in that war for khalistan and i'd like to discuss it with u next time.But for u young guys ask those people who r telling u stuff about khalistan, like what went wrong in that war?Cuz i know that somebody is teaching u that stuff cuz i know as i have told u that majority of u werent there in punjab.And ask them that question(if these people r ur parents) also that will they let u go to war for kahlistan or will u go if there comes a chance to go for war?Maybe i'll come oneday to take u guys with me where i came from?
Waheguru meher kareen.
