Sikh Panth, Sikh Prisoners, And Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa

[acsap]

I think I was not clear in my first post about what is going on with Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa, and what we as Sikhs can do in the West or India. Last year, when Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa started his fast to get Sikhs released, no Indian media covered his morcha. However, when Sikhs all around the world started talking about Bhai Gurbaksh Singh on the social media (e.g., liking Facebook page, talking via Facebook and twitter), the Indian media was left with no other choice, but to cover his morcha. Also, Sikhs in the west told all the Punjabi singers, who like to come to the West to make money, to go and visit Bhai Gurbaksh Singh otherwise they will not go to their concerts. All these things helped getting Bhai Gurbaksh Singh morcha in the Indian media, and these efforts helped getting parole for some Sikhs (parole was for one month). This media coverage made things so hard for SGPC and Akalis that they have to come and talk to Bhai Gurbaksh Singh. It is a different issue, that the Jathedar of Akal Takht lied to Bhai Gurbaksh Singh to end his hunger strike last year.

I am not sure what is going on this year, but it doesn’t seems like enough Sikhs are supporting the morcha. I know some people are saying that Bhai Gurbaksh Singh has an agenda or he has been bought by Badals, and I am not sure if that is true or not. I do know that presently , no other Sikh, but Gurbaksh Singh is supporting imprisoned innocent Sikhs.

I know some of you guys are already on top of this issue, but rest of us should do our part to get innocent Sikhs released from Indian jails (i.e., please bring this topic on the Social Media).

I don't know whether Gurbaksh Singh is agenda driven or not.

What I do know is, in a month to 6 weeks we'll know for sure....how many of us will feel st×p×d at his funeral?

We should only suspect his character then and only then.

He has my full support... And it should be so with all mankind to face this injustice

I just want to clarify my stand. I am absolutely not questioning Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa's character or agenda. I was pointing out that even if somebody is questioning Bhai Gurbaksh Singh they should still look at his actions and what he trying to achieve (it seems to me that it is aligned with Sikh agenda).

I am optimistic, seeing slowly Sikhs of Punjab take to the streets, gaining momentum.

There was a time, as Mehtab Singh mentioned, when Sikhs use to provide justice to other communities...

Very true bhaji, now we rely on a solitary old Sikh to starve himself while we rest easy in our comfortable homes and modern lifestyles.

Sikhs are not asking for preferential treatment, only equal rights. Why haven't Sikh prisoners been released? (as prisoners of other religions and faiths in similar situations have)

India is an anti-Sikh terrorist state.

I agree Baiji, we are dealing with a terrorist state called India. It is amazing that nobody cares that Sikhs are in jail after completing their life sentence. It is more sad that even many Sikhs don't care.

Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa is not getting enough support from Sikhs, I still don't see any main Indian media covering his morcha. Last year around this time there were thousands of people giving support to Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa, but not this time.

I am still hoping that he will able to get these Sikhs released!

There is no power in this world to stop us for getting justice and land - ONLY if we dont have gardars who wears turban and looks like panthic than regular normal sikh. These gardars are our true enemy.

Bhai sahib's effort to get justice for singhs is priceless and only few can understand this.

Who are some of the larger corporations in the west and east that are in bed economically with those that support human rights abuses, torture, kidnapping, and murder? Names? Details?

Write to them and post their reply or non-reply publically. Go to the head offices and hand out information. Corporations that are known to the public or those which have major retail outlets linked, go there and hand out information. Invite the media. Do this across the world. Some of us may work for these companies. Use any leverage wisely.

Get your efforts out in social media.

Write to trade ministers in your respective nations. Speak to their opposition in government to question trade ministers.

Make this a movement that is beyond Sikhs alone and asks for accountability from all corporations and governments to all Indians and all citizens around the world. That is what we sign up for when we claim to be Sikhs. Champion rights for Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, Christians and all others dealing with similar injustices. If Sikhs were released someone like Bhai Gurbaksh Singh would continue speak for all.

Do any of this in a group of 1, 2, or 1000. One does not need permission or a leader to live Sikhi.
