The irony is that while the oppressed of India have seen what a momentous event they witnessed on the 26th of January with the hoisting of the Nishan Sahib at the red fort, our own people are showing their cowardice by trying to apologise for what happened. There is no doubt that the farmers agitation suffered a setback by what happened but if our people did not criticise it themselves the damage would have been much less. It is true that the hoisting of the Nishan Sahib brought out the hatred of the Hindutvis against us but what it has also shown us like nothing else ever could was that the revolutionary liberation philosophy of our Gurus can never be in alliance with the reactionary and oppressive philosophy of Hindutva. What we have seen is the hatred of the Indian middle and upper classes who have always been anti-Sikh because they understand that Sikhism offers a better alternative to the society that HIndutva and the secularists have created. If just the Kisan morcha flag had been hoisted then it would have been a big victory for the Kisans but mostly with other Kisan. The hoisting of the Nishan Sahib can have a much more lasting and positive impact if only our own stop criticising it.

Interesting piece on their facebook page.

Punjabis and Tamils are so different, yet similar in many ways. Culturally and ethnically we're so different, yet the troubles we have faced, atleast since independence, are so similar. 

Tamils were persecuted by the Congress for trying to help their persecuted Tamil brethren in Srilanka. Indian government declared them terrorists. Indian army started murdering them and raped their women. This was happening around the same time as our struggle in Punjab. 

Hindi speaking government has also been trying to push Hindi language and culture on South Indians for a very long time now, just how they have been pushing it on us. 

The South has seen separatist movements. 

And at present we face the same issues like the farming crisis and Christian missionaries converting the locals. 

It would be great if they come into the fold of Sikhi. 

This is why Sikh leaders should have been preaching Sikhi in various different Indian languages in different parts of India and very long time ago! But they just don't care. 

I've known many Srilankan Tamils. Humble people, really chilled and laid back. Unlike North Indian Hindi speakers who have this constant triggered and angry face and attitude.

I knew a few Sri Lankan Tamils. One colleague of mine told me how young Tamil youths went "missing"

Sounds awfully familiar...

Sri Lankan Tamils cannot stand Indian Tamils particularly ones from Chennai. It's because they are "brahmins".

Sikhi works in mysterious ways. 

[puzzled]

If Sikhi is spreading and these people are interested, then perhaps some Sikh group/organisations should look into this ? 

Like how Sikhs have been working with the Sikligar/vanjara Sikhs. They've done some great work over the years. A Gurdwara has been built in Nepal for the Sikhs there and a Granthi Singh from Punjab stays with them and teaches bani. 

I think it will be quite a challenge, especially with the language, Tamils don't even speak Hindi. But if there is interest in Sikhi among these people, then someone should do something about it.

There are a few videos of Tamil Sikh women on youtube.

I bet BJP is sending out their henchmen as we speak to "persuade" them to change their plans. Anna hazaare was about to start his fast before BJP Davendra Fadnavas paid him a visit.
