REMEMBER 1984; The Sikh Massacre: Let the silence be heard…

25 Years on…

Candlelight Vigil 09

4pm to 7pm – 4th November 2009 – Chamberlain Square (outside library),

Birmingham, UK

Plea to the Sikh Youth : Unite and Remember on Wed 4th November 2009

"Victims speak of mobs led by notoriously unruly youth congress

activists armed with voters lists from which Sikh homes and businesses

could be identified. How did kerosene materialise so effectively? Why

did the police declare open season on Sikhs?"

(Daily Telegraph, Nov 1984)

Sangat Jee,

The week commencing Monday 1st November marks the 25th anniversary of

one of the most ruthless and bloody chapters in Sikh history, when the

mirage of Indian secularism and democracy was exposed and Sikhs

suffered state orchestrated brutality across the country.

In the hours that followed the assassination of Indira Gandhi, by her

Sikh bodyguards (Shaheed Bhai Beant Singh and Shaheed Bhai Satwant

Singh), on 31st October 1984, her son Rajiv Gandhi instructed the

powers that be to "teach these bastards (the Sikhs) a lesson". The

state run media vilified Sikhs, broadcasting proactive slogans such as

"khoon ka badla khoon" (blood for blood), and spreading fake rumours

e.g. Sikhs had poisoned Delhi's water supply and that trains from

Punjab were arriving with dead Hindus on board.

What followed was the systematic and co-ordinated massacre of Sikhs,

not only in Delhi but also in Uttar Pardesh, Haryana, Binar and Kanur

amongst others.

The attacks followed a chilling pattern. Local politicians from the

ruling Congress party mobilised mobs of Hindu youths and armed them

with swords, iron rods, knives, clubs and combustible material,

particularly kerosene. Using electoral lists and ration shop records,

the Congress party leaders guided the mobs to Sikh homes and

businesses, moving from one district to another in jeeps to personally

supervise the murder and rape of Sikh men and women.

(This is just a glimpse of the atrocities that occurred, for more, go

to www.witness84.com ,www.carnage84.com, www.ensaaf.org )

Two of the Congress Party politicians implicated by eyewitnesses were

Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler. You will not be surprised to learn

that neither has ever been successfully prosecuted, as attempts to do

so have either collapsed as a result of witness intimidation or been

locked in the judicial process.

Lawyers in India are trying to bring Kumar and Tytler and many others

to account for their actions, but their quest for justice faces

immeasurable obstacles as attempts to commence legal proceedings get

wrapped in red tape.

We must also show that we have not forgotten, and that we too will

continue to demand that these criminals Kumar and Tytler and co are

brought to justice.

The Sikh youth of the region will congregate at Chamberlain Square in

Birmingham City Centre on Wednesday 4th November, from 4pm to 7pm to

raise awareness amongst the wider community as to the injustice and

suffering endured by Sikhs in their 'homeland'. Speakers including

British MPs will be invited to show their support.

Above all, however, your support is required. Spread the word and let

us ensure there is an overwhelming attendance on 4th November.

In the same way that the attacks on Sikhs were indiscriminate,

regardless of caste, wealth, social status and irrespective of whether

they were practicing or not, each and everyone of us, whether

amritdhari or not, should feel the pain that still haunts many of our

mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters in India every day.

PLEASE FORWARD TO EVERYONE and SHOW YOUR SUPPORT ON THE 4TH NOVEMEBER 2009

    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
