"1984: The Sikh Holocaust

By: G. Singh

Running Time: 9m:49s

Genre: Documentary

Courtesy: SikhResource

A reflection on the attack on Darbar Sahib 20 years ago, this movie is a collection of media segments in response to the attack and the assasination of Indira Gandhi. This is a must see for everyone, Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike.

Although it is short, we have picked this video as Editor's choice as it brilliantly depicts the horror and tragedy of 1984. The producer uses authentic footage and audio from various news agencies to create an educational and freely distributable video that gets at the heart of the matter.

The video starts off with a picture of the Normandy Landing where Allied troops attacked the Nazi's, stopping a great Holocaust, as well as some pictures from Tiananmen Square. It then goes to show a speech about 1984 in the US House of Representatives. The camera angle shows that nobody is there listening or watching, empty seats, perhaps somewhat symbolic of how the world refuses to address what happened.

This video is soul stirring, revealing the raw truth for the masses. Viewer discretion is advised. "

Operation Blue Star: Not Forgotten

By: P.S. Mann

Running Time: 58m:51s

Genre: Documentary

In loving memory of the many innocent men, women and children brutally murdered by the indian government in Operation Blue Star, Delhi pogroms, and fake police encounters.

After twenty years, the torture they endured and the sacrifices they made are still fresh on our minds. They will forever be remembered in our daily prayers.

This video outlines the events leading up to 1984, starting from the partition through 1978. Priminister Nehru called Sikhs "a menace." From the very beginning, Sikhs have been treated unfairly.

In 1978, government backed Nakli Nirankaris marched on Amritsar shouting obscenities at Sikhs and Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Nakli Nirankari Baba Gurbachan claimed that if Guru Gobind Singh made the Panj Pyaare, he would make the sat sitare or seven stars.

When Sikhs protested the march peacefully, the Nirankaris attacked the Sikhs with guns. Shamefully, Indian police helped the Nirankaris gun down the unarmed Sikhs. Thirteen Sikhs were martyred.

In June of 1984, on the martyrdom day of Guru Arjun Dev Ji, the Indian Army stormed the Darbar Sahib. The Darbar Sahib was full of thousands of men, women and children. All of Punjab was cut off from the rest of the world and all journalists were forced to leave.

The army attacked Darbar Sahib with tanks, helicopters, and heavy artillery. Men, women and children were gunned down by the army of their own country. Those who surrendered were shot at point blank range.

Men had their hands tied behind their backs with their turbans and were executed. The few Sikhs who were armed fought like lions keeping the fight raging on for a week. The army completely destroyed Sri Akal Takhat Sahib, the highest seat of temporal authority in Sikhi.

Those Sikhs who promised to die defending darbar sahib kept that promise...

There a number of works in progress; including - The Widow Colony:

----- Begin -----

The Widow Colony accesses the living conditions of the widows and the orphans, of the Delhi Pogroms of 1984, where thousands of Sikhs were brutally murdered with the help of the Government.

The interviews with the widows reveal that even though they have learned to continue on with their livelihood, a large part of their psyche remains trapped in 1984. With their families torn and traumatized these widows and children live in a segregated ghetto of New Delhi, Tilak Vihar. They have been fighting for justice for 20 years and now their children fight with the problem of drugs and unemployment. The perpetrators of these crimes remain free, the victims remain forgotten.
