***Please like/share to create awareness ***

In the November 1984 Sikh Genocide, Sikh males were targeted because of their Turbans.

In this picture you can see a Sikh male who has been beaten with rods and is held down, his hair forcibly cut and beard shaved off..... he is then clubbed to death.

They took his identity before they killed him.

Waheguru. ...

This was the same across India during the first few days of November 1984.

In remembrance of ALL those Turban wearing Sikhs that were killed , we urge EVERYONE that has never wore a turban before, to wear one during this ‪#‎RemembranceWeek‬ 1st- 7th Nov, in solidarity with our brothers...

PLEASE wear a turban and upload the image to social media with the hash tag ‪#‎SikhTurban84‬....

Lets ALL unite in solidarity in remembering OUR Shaheeds.

PRESS RELEASE ‪#‎SikhTurban84‬

In remembrance of the victims of the 1984 Sikh Genocide, the #SikhTurban84 campaign by Miri Piri Foundation in conjunction with Sikh Channel encourages social media users to post pictures of themselves wearing turbans along with the hashtag #SikhTurban84

BACKGROUND

The 1984 Anti-Sikh Genocide refers to the harrowing episode which commenced on 31 October, 1984 across India.

In the capital alone, over ten thousands members of the Sikh community were butchered, beaten and burned alive. Easily identifiable due to their turbans, Sikh males were targetted with ease whilst the law enforcement agencies turned a blind eye or actively participated in the carnage. Sikhs were further targetted at their homes through voter lists identifying the names Singh and Kaur, used almost exclusively by male and female Sikhs respectively. Females were kidnapped, brutally gang raped and killed by the Government sponsored mobs.

This event was the most deadly in the violent history of Delhi and remains highly controversial. Thirty-one years later, the instigators and perpetrators remain unpunished despite the evidence of various survivors and human rights groups that the Genocide was orchestrated by officials of the Congress Party with the connivance of Delhi administration and police. Anti-Sikh violence was not restricted to Delhi but also took place in other states such as Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.

Speaking about the events in December 2014, the Indian Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh stated the massacre of Sikhs in 1984 was a genocide and that thise who had a role in the carnage are yet to be punished.

In rememberance and recognition of the victims who were identified and killed as a result of their turbans, coupled with the many instances where their turbans were removed as a final act of humiliation prior to their deaths, an appeal is being made to the global freedom and peace loving community to stand in solidarity with the victims of the 1984 Sikh Genocide by taking a photograph wearing a turban and uploading it onto social media with the hashtag #SikhTurban84

You may remember this Mexican penji who did a video for Bapu Surat Singh:

She has also done a Spanish version on remembrance week:

REMEMBRANCE WEEK ‪#‎RemembranceWeek‬ ‪#‎SikhLivesMatter‬

‪#‎SikhTurban84‬

SPANISH VERSION.

En Noviembre del 1984 durante el Genocidio de los Sikhs, hombres Sikh fueron identificados por sus turbantes.En esta imagen puedes ver a un hombre Sikh quien ha sido sujetado en contra de su voluntad, mientras le cortaban sus cabellos y afeitaban su barba. Despues ha sido goalpeado hasta su muerte.

Le han quitado su identidad antes de que muriera.

Waheguru

Esta situacion se repitio a lo largo de India durante los primeros dias de Noviembre de 1984. En honor a todos aquellos Sikhs y en solidaridad a nuestros hermanos que murieron defendiendo su identidad vistiendo sus turbantes, pedimos a todos aquellos que nunca han vestido uno, se unan a la campana #RemembranceWeek durante esta semana 1st 7th Nov y vistan un TURBANTE!

POR FAVOR viste un Turbante y upload tu imagen en las redes sociales con el hast tag #SikhTurban84.

Unamos todos y recordemos en solidaridad a nuestros mártires.

Waheguru,Waheguru, Waheguru, Waheguru, Waheguru
