:e: Compiling heroic deeds of Sikh fighters

who attained martyrdom in June 1984 :e:

'Directory of Martyrs' of 1984 Indo-Sikh war released...

To put the record straight and to present the Sikh point of view in proper perspective, Dal Khalsa has collected and recorded comprehensive details of the events of June 1984. The Directory of Martyrs, which gives personal details of all Sikh fighters who died while protecting the honour of Darbar Sahib and Akal Takht Sahib is the result of painstaking research over the years by Dal Khalsa activists.

This directory of the Indo-Sikh war of June 1984 released by the Dal Khalsa on June 9, 2006 at Amritsar, is perhaps the second whole-hearted attempt by any Sikh organisation to conduct a thorough empirical research into the attack by the Indian state on the Sikh people. The first attempt of a similar nature were the details gathered on the cremation of unidentified bodies case in Tarn Taran, Amritsar and other areas by Jaswant Singh Khalra and later by the Committee for Coordination of Disappearances in Punjab.

Nationalistic Indian Media and The Sikh nation :nihungsmile:

The mindset chooses to stay where it is. Last week, we were once again witness to such role by the media. At the solemn release function of the Directory of Martyrs, hundreds of familiy members –widows, aged parents, aged grand parents, young children of martyrs, were present in Bhai Gurdas Hall at Amritsar. Sikh leadership from various organisations were also present. The event should have been an eye-opener. The journalists, who had prior knowledge of the event should have carried out a deeper probe through people-based stories.

But the "free" Indian media imposes self-censorship on itself even while reporting news. Sticking to its old habits vis-a-vis the Sikh nation, the media blacked-out the event. There was no news in the English dailies the following day. This is not only unethical but a dangerous journalistic trend.
