Putting aside who’s to blame for attacking the Harmindar Sahib and the killing of the innocents during Operation Bluestar and the victims of the Delhi riots in the fall of 84, what organisations/individuals are there to help the victims/survivors of the atrocities mentioned above.

I am not interested in organisations and individuals who did nothing, please don’t waste my time in posting this up, I want to contribute to alleviate in the suffering of the victims of 1984 particularly the Delhi riots.

Please fellow Sikh Sangat members tell me the names of organisations, individuals who have been helping the victims/survivors in terms of money, clothing, education, business support. I was at school in 1984, now having reach adulthood I have no excuse what so ever on why I cannot help my fellow brethren.

Our memorial to the victims of 1984 should be in the re-building and re-shaping of the devastated communities in terms of financial support, housing, education, business support, etc. We are Sikhs of the West enjoying peace and prosperity let us reach out to our communities now and share some of our wealth.

Khalsa Human Rights via the Bhai Amrik Singh Shaheedi fund.

They have account details and addresses of familes.

In fact what we can do is get an individual family's address and kind of "sponser" them, where we help that individual family throughout life.

I recently went to India and spent a lot of time with shaheed parvaars - they have nothing. Really nothing. Some of them, not even their own house.

PM me for more info paaj.

Please put forward ideas on the best way to help the victims. People do want to contribute but need transparent accounts and regular reports on how money is being spent. Remember the tsunami , Sikhs contributed a large amount to charities then.

Sikhs spend millions on cultural activities and building projects, why not contribute to a 84 fund.

Recently there is talk of providing Govt jobs to all the jobless dependents of 84 riots. This was also recommended by nanavati report to support the dependents in one way or another immidiately. I hope all the needy get succor immidiately.

But this is 20 yrs darn too late.

Sorry I still need the information, so I need to keep the thread going until I get the names of at least several organisations that can help us in this. Sorry for the inconvenience.

      Traveling in Punjab independently and safely (need good advice)

      By BhForce · Posted

      Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
