When Karakoos would eat at a Villagers House

[ladli-fauj]

in our village bhai amarjeet singh billa stayed one night with his friends he was lt general of klf, though our village is next to his (begowal) and he even stayed in our farms something must have been going on tht night that they slept at ours, my grandpa told about how they were strict in sikhi asool, even when they ate they made sure nothing was jooth and when their water was poured they didnt want the jug of water to touch their glasses, they were strict about things....when they slept they were all in 1 room and had locked door from inside, that night the village was surrounded (not sure which forces of india surrounded the village) but my grandpa told the singhs and they told him not to worry and they would deal with it, they soon left without anyone knowing, the forces didnt find them either.

anyway ppl implying that singhs who went to ppls houses for shelter and food are police agents etc are totally wrong, for example bha billa came to ours and stayed in our kehta for periods of times ( 1 singh who with bhai billa for 3 seperate periods talks about the loving nature and chardi kala of these singhs) dont infer all khadkus to be bad if they go to people houses, yes there were some police cats doing the same and there were even cops doing same with bhai billa, robbing people on his name.

in begowal there was a older singh known as gyani who lived with his son, the mother had passed away, a thanedar who used to loot ppl found out that gyani had saved money for some time and though he was poor he had that saved money, the thanedar looted the gyani at his house and said he was billa from klf, my grandpa asked bhai billa soon after and he said he didnt do a thing, (doesnt make sense either robbing a neigbhor u grew up seeining in the area) that thanedar was later shot dead by bhai sahib...so next time ppl try to label all khadkus bad think again

Back in our relatives village the blasted cats came along one night. We however had an ex-fauji who supported the kharkoos so he knew what pre-arranged signals he should look for to authenticate the real deal. These guys came making a large amount of noise, belching, drunk and straight away demanded from him to be let into the village and be given food, water and money. He realised that these idiots were probably from the cops that was why they were showing off. He shot one dead and ran away. The cats too ran away. No one ever followed up on the matter.

Then once in our village the residents caught a bus driver late at night. He confessed that he was dropping of cops in a nearby village and showed them their stuff in his bus. They let him go and soon heard that there had een a "kharkoo incident" in the aforementioned village. It didn't take them long to find out that it was the police who had done it. It was around then that one night a few of these cops were caught by the kharkoos. The next day basically a large amount of jalandhar reached bhogpur to see their headless bodies on display with proof of their black deeds. When the DCP tried to lie to explain things away, he got his turban slapped of him.

Police agents did do what I said on the previous page, that doesn't mean real kharkoos didn't do this. Never did I imply that, I thought it was common knowledge that kharkoos did, but the cases where the families were treated ill by "kharkoos" were actually black cats.

As you said in your account, they were tyar bar tyar and GurSikhs.

This one isnt about the black cats but since were all telling kharku stories il share back in 91 my dad chacha and thayia and a few of there friends were siting by our pinds motor when car with kharkus in it sped past it was being chased by several police cars as you know the roads in pinds are not of very good quality and the kharkus car was going as fast as a bullet so when it made a turn too fast it lost control and did a few flips the kharkus got out they were all armed to the teeth with assualt rifles they brushed off there clothes and calmy walked off into the kheta the police were too scared to follow them into an area with very low visibility so to make up for this embarasment they came back at night and killed 4 innocent men from my pind its a very small pind and my dad told that the bullets were heard throughout the whole pind at night a week later when the kharkus found out about this they shot down 12 pigs from a police station in a town near my pind

My relatives who live in Amritsar and Gurdaspur had the good fortune of doing seva of many Kharkoo Singhs. They tell me that most of them were very young, late teens, early to mid 20s, and highly religious. When staying at night, they would spend almost the whole night doing Paath of which ever Bani they had Kanth(memorized).

Another time, one Kharkoo Singh was hiding from the police, so he hid in a Christian(isayee) family`s home whom he knew since childhood. They had him hiding and when the police asked them, they pretended they did not see any Kharkoo and the police did not search their home either thinking since they are Christians why would they hide a Sikh militant. When the police left, the Singh came out and highly appreciated the help of the Christian family and promised that if they ever need help they should consider him their son and he will help them.

Another relative I have tells me that once his family sent him with food and water to their farm to do parshada seva of Kharkoo Singhs who were their to spend the night. This relative of mine was only a teenager at the time. When going seva he says that once his water jug touched the glass of a Kharkoo Singh. The Singh saw this and immediately explained to my relative that when doing Parshada Seva of Sangat or Singhs it is important to keep sucham, and the jug must never touch the glass when poring water in it.

Has any one heard stories that Karkoo would turn up at weddings and would stop ann dowry, and would say no more that 20 people allowed on the Janait (boys side) as not burden the girls family with cost ?

Been told the a few times.

My mamiji told me a story about when they were young. Kharkoos had come to their house to stay (all very young as well) and my mami ji's mom had asked them to please leave because police started to come in and my mamiji and her siblings were all quite young. They left and had a mukabla elsewhere even though it wasn't in their best interest to do so.
