Whether they can reach a compromise between realising they're being played into acting out and not compromising on inspiring fear in non-Sikh groups who feel its open season on us.

What you're talking about there is as fine as a c**t hair. It's probably impossible to do the latter without some of the former. People exploit all moves.

Why is this thread in the 'Politics' section, please @Moderator - there are many other more unrelated to Sikhi threads in the 'What's Happening ' section ?!

On Saturday (October 16), Lakhbir Singh was cremated amidst tight security in his native place in Cheema Kalan in Punjab, days after he was lynched to death by Nihang Sikhs at Delhi-Haryana border for the alleged sacrilege of Guru Granth Sahib. However, no Sikh priest came forward to perform the religious rituals for the last rites, and the villagers also stayed away from the cremation.

As per reports, only about 12 of the deceased’s family members were present during the cremation. It included Singh’s wife Jaspreet Kaur, sister Raj Kaur, sister-in-law Simranjit Kaur, mother-in-law Sawinder Kaur and three minor daughters. The family members were directed by villagers to not perform Sikh religious rituals and conduct only the last rites of Lakhbir Singh. No Sikh priest performed the Ardas (Sikh religious prayer) for the deceased.

A video of his cremation was shared on social media by journalist Sachin Gupta. In the video, Singh’s family members could be seen grieving his death while being surrounded by a large contingent of police personnel. The body of the deceased was brought to his village at around 7:45 pm in an ambulance and was directly taken to the crematorium. In order to expedite the cremation, Lakhbir Singh’s body was doused in diesel.

Upper caste hegemony and denial of decent last rites

The ‘Savarn’ (upper caste) Sikhs in the Cheema Kalan village in the Tarn Taran district of Punjab had earlier objected to bringing the mortal remains of Lakhbir Singh to his native place. The Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satkar Committee had not granted permission for the deceased’s cremation as per the Sikh rehat Maryada (Sikh code of living). President of Satkar Committee, Tarlochan Singh, said, “We will not allow the family of Titu to cremate him as per the Sikh rehat maryada. His cremation will take place in the village, but his last rites will not be allowed to be performed in the Sikh tradition.” He stated that the decision was taken following a meeting during which a ‘gurmata’ was passed.

National Commission for Scheduled Castes raised objection

So.

I know part of turning themselves in is to spare all the innocents. Indian cops will rape your whole village til they find you or get info etc, or mass arrest everybody and torture them. 

Also the public message must be sent as a deterent. 

Public message can be left other ways. 

As for the rape and illegal detention it should be open season any time that's going on until it stops. Higher up the better. 

Then nobody has to turn themselves in.

Hello as we are all aware recently there was an incident where a guy disrespected guru granth sahib ji Maharaj.

And Nihang sikhs killed the man and mulated him this is seen as a cruel display and sikhs are being condemned for this act.

I myself felt it was cruel to display the man like that however my question is what are your thoughts about that?

According to you was it right to kill the man and torture him?
