Hawayein Film


Recommended Posts

Typical punjabi film that has it's own touch of the story. (Though very possible someone could relate the story to an imaginary real character. But it doesn't convey what 1984 really means for Sikhs. It doesn't sooth my burning heart.) Khalistani Sardars are shown as unnecessarily violent species with Muslim and Pakistan militant connections for a bit. (Some version have cut this seen)

The only reason some adore it, is because it attempts to shows the murders and violence that occurred during the genocide a bit explicitly. But since it's the only one, besides the movie 'Amu', people think this is the only thing that happened.

Otherwise I wouldn't touch anything involving Babbu Mann (starring in Hawayein) and the likes. His typical attempt to gain popularity by touching religious issues in front of wannabe-westerners Punjabi youth, who barely know Sikhism and realize singers as gods.

Verdict: Not everyone sympathetic to 1984 genocide knows 1984. But watch it so you can have a verdict yourself.

Watch 'Amu' movie instead. It was NOT released in India. You can find all parts of Amu on YouTube.

Whatever it is everyone who watched the movie got an introduction to what happened in 1984 and opened the eyes of the punjabi community. Of course people who are GurSikhs will know, but not all punjabis know exactly what happened.

In that sense, i think it was good.

I agree with BabbarKhalsa, watch Amu, it's a good movie.

Watch the Punjabi movie called Siyasat, it covers a lot of the main issues such as jatts forced to sell lands to big companies, fake encounters, fake kharkoos, police brutality and why people were driven towards armed movement. Shows the Jujharoos in a very positive light.

Hawayein is OK in the fact it depicts a true account of the Delhi Massacres but does show some of the Jujharoos in a negative image. These things were done to pass censorship in India, the original script was very different. Also it fails to correctly give background of Operation Bluestar.

Maachis is another film that deals with the issues of Delhi Massacres, police brutality and armed struggle

Here you go brother, and the whole movie is broken is into 07-10 minute's part. The first link is pasted above, and next links will come on Youtube automatically. I had seen the movie 1 year ago.

I have no expectation of any Justice from Hindutva led courts and Hindutva government - as the college I studied although was in Punjab - Hindus (Punjabi Hindus/Baniya's and Brahmins) in my class justified the 3 day massacre of Sikhs in Delhi laughing on the Lunch mess tables - Sikhs were running here and there and we butchered them like nothing. Those are the students whose parents are in IPS/IAS/Judiciary/Punjab & Haryana Government - so you can see from where these teachings are coming. Don't expect any Justice from Hindutava courts. It has been 26 years, all Police Officers involved have been given promotions, all IAS/Judiciary have been given promotions, all politicians involved have been Cabinet Ministers till now ...

If you still expect Juristiction verdict from Hindutva courts, an example - you can see the Jurisdiction of Babri Masjid court case and land division - the verdict is done without any evidence and in the ratio of the Justice Panel faith/Aastha - 2 Judges were Hindus (1 Sharma/1 Aggarwal) , 3rd was Khan. The verdict was "It is Hindu's aastha that Ram Mandir was over here - No Evidence", but we also want to give Muslim Brothers something, so 1/3rd land to WAQF Board and 2/3rd to Hindus. Take the analogy back to 1947 when the blame is imposed on Jinnah for land division and 2 Nation Theory.

This biased verdict is to a sect who is given more prefential treatement much more than the small Sikh minority anyway ... So, you can imagine how much of Sikh Justice will be important in the eyes of Hindutva Government/Judiciary ...

If you expect Justice, just do 1 Japji Sahib Paath daily from the bottom of your heart for the people who have been massacred and pray to Guru for Justice ... Forget Justice from Hindutva courts ...

    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
