Spokesman Wrote Against Sant Ji

[Fearless khalsa]

BAKWAS against Sant Jarnail Singh Ji by spokesman newspaper .............. :jamdoot :jamdoot

[~Preeti~]

is there a translation in english?

[Singh, Mahan]

Just because the article appeared in the Rozana Spokesman does not make it ‘Bakwas’ against Sant Ji. I know there may be many people who will jump to conclusion that whatever is published in that paper is against their sampradaya. But let us be fair. It looks like that the article in the newspaper is an installment of continuing serializing of the history book “ The Sikhs in History” by S. Sangat Singh. This article is verbatim from the Punjabi edition of the book. And the translation of this can be read in the English edition of the book. In the English edition (sixth edition) the portion which is published in the newspaper starts at the bottom of the page 341 and ends at page 344 of the book 'The Sikhs in History'. On page 341 it starts from the paragraph that begins with

“ By the time, when Morarji Desai was contending that the Sikhs were Hindus, Indira Gandhi initiated certain moves to push the Sikhs out of the national mainstream, with a view to eventually create conditions in which they could be exterminated, a’ la Buddhism, from the land of their birth. ………

I do not see any thing written which can be termed as “Bakwas” against Sant Ji especially, if the article is read in context with the whole chapter of the book.

The newspaper has also highlighted some part of the article. The translation of that portion is as following ( taken from the English edition of the Book).

Quoting from the book

“ There is least doubt about the missionary zeal of Sant Bhindrawale who was carrying on his campaign, ‘nashe chado. Amrit chako. Singh sajo. ‘ – discard intoxicants, take baptism, and become practicing Sikhs – and was warning his people against the evil tendencies of trimming beard, cutting hair, taking to drinking and drugs – deeper social and religious issues -- that had been neglected by the Akalis long in power in SGPC. Bhindranwale was a religious fundamentalist in the sense he earnestly believed in the fundamentals of Sikhism. Sanjay Gandhi and Zail Singh, however, needed a religio-political issue to cause a confrontation between Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale and Akali Party and the Government. This, they found in obliging “Nirankaris Sant, a schismatic and heretical sect. Already, Bhinderanwale was being provoked by senior Nirankari Sant officials in the Punjab administration who were harassing him”.

.

In the next few paragrphs Sangat Singh mentions that Indira Gandhi (and Congress failed to enticed Bhinderanwale into their premeditated plans. However the situation escalated as the result.
