Non-sikh Martyers For Khalistan

[catsagdn]

I've been reading about the case of Shaheed Bhai Lachman Singh Babbar. a former Muslim who became a Sikh and fought for the Khalistani cause. What is the Sikh communitiy's opinion of non-Sikhs who became Sikhs and fought for Khalistan during the 1980's?

Huh? Opinion?

Once they became Khalsa they were no more Muslims or Hindus or anything else but a part of OUR COMMUNITY.

They werent outsiders...

They were just Sikh converts that fought for Khalistan..

Christian turned Sikh, Shaheed Bhai Manjit Singh Akaal of Jammu Kashmir and a lt. general of Khalistan Zindabad Force was martyred in an encounter in 2000.

Muslims turned Sikh, Shaheed Bhai Lachhman Singh Babbar of Punjab and a known Singh from Babbar Khalsa was martyred in 1993.

7 Brothers from a Hindu Sharma family of Patiala became Sikhs, joined Babbar Khalsa and became Shaheed.

Bhai Roshan Lal Bairagi, an Hindu Pandit turned Sikh, lt. general of Khalistan Commando Force was martyred in 1987-1988.

Bhai Mohar Singh Pandit, his wife and 2 daughters: Hindu Pandit Mohar Singh and his wife became Singhs and whole the family including the 8 and 6 years old daughter of this amazing Khalsa couple were martyred defending Harmandar Sahib in June 1984.

Many many many more examples.. Just typed what came to my mind..

The information of non-Sikhs becoming Sikhs and fighting for Khalistan intrigues me. I find it hard to believe why would a non-Sikh be willing to allow himself to become a bearded turbaned Sikh and fight for a Sikh state that does not affect him.

Dear Mr. sunnybondsingh84

If Khalistan was successfully achieved and these non-Sikhs turned Sikhs were still alive today how do think they would have faired living in a independant Khalistan?

Ahmed Qazi was a Muslim and was active in the Khalistan Movement.

Pakistan is ready to help us. 400 Hindus were murdered in Punjab, they were harrassed and beaten up. What for? for sticking cigars into the model of Darbar Sahib and smashing it up and telling Sikhs to go back to Pakistan.

One Hindu set him self on fire when he learnt a Gurdwara would be built near his house.

This is not a Hindu Muslim Sikh thing but Hindus made it into this they killed 3000 Sikhs in three days in Delhi and shouted "revenge".

Khalistan was for all, Sikh or non-Sikh. Our religion teaches respect for all the creation. The only reason we wanted Khalistan was because of unfair policies from the Central govt. Even then, we were not for or against Khalistan - if Punjab was treated fairly there would be no problem in staying a part of the Union.

Many Punjabis of all religions were affected by the Cental govt. policies and joined the movement. Many believed govt. propaganda and opposed the movement. Also, there are many people who converted (and continue to) for other reasons, not just Khalistan.
