1984, A Sikh Story (Bbc Documentary) And Your View Of Punjab Today

[13Mirch]

Hindu extremists recently raped a woman in Durgiana mandir and a massive expose (covered by the Indian government) proved how more than one nefarious activity was being carried out in the said location. How many soldiers have been sent there to "preserve democracy and the fundamental tenets of secularity as via the Indian constitution" there?

"The army went into Darbar Sahib not to eliminate a politcal figure or politcial movement but to suppress the culture of a people, to attack their hearts, and to strike a blow at their spirit and self-confidence."

- Joyce Pettigrew

The Sikhs of the Punjab: Unheard Voices of State and Guerrilla Violence, Zed Books Ltd., London, U.K. 1995, page 35.

The Sikhs stood up against Indra during the emergency when she created a dictatorship.

Also some Hindus also took part in the defence of the Darbar Sahib, showing that Hindus weren't hated. If they were, why would they lay down their lives defending the golden temple?

Dear Brother PakistaniPunjabi - I am not sure if you are aware of Babri Masjid Demolition (Ayodhaya), which was done by BJP (RSS) with full agreement of Hindu majority Indian Govt. Godhra (Gujarat) Genocide of muslims.

saw this documentary a few times, the first time being the time of its release. It has a very strong pro indian government bias from Sonia Deol. I don't consider her to be a Sikh. A lot of reporting post 1984 from western sources is a lot more accurate in the depiction of events that occurred.

The Sonial Deol criticism is a tad unfair. She's just a pretty face. A bit of an airhead and she makes no claim of being anything more. Her task in the programme, was to be the pretty face behind the propoganda of main researcher and producer Mandeep Singh Bajwa. Mr Bajwa, is a well known agent of the Indian government.. Next time he's listed as a producer of a BBC show.....be sure not to watch it. It's sure to be nothing more than a hot steaming pile of dog poo.
