Sikhs to attack India’s Commonwealth Games ?
Category: Current Issues
Indian media is bent on destroying the image of Sikhs in India and abroad. Few months ago, Indian government ordered (not requested) Canadian PM to keep tab on Sikh community in Canada. If American or Canadian government requests India to respect basic human rights whether in Punjab or in Kashmir, India’s typical response is “do not interfere in our internal matters”.
Recent news of sikh groups targeting Asian games in New Delhi reminds me of 1980′s era when the government controlled the media to spread similar fake news which resulted in senseless killings of sikhs in Punjab, Haryana and Delhi.
From books, interviews with human right organizations and many other non-biased outlets we come to know that in Sikhs’ short history, no Sikh group ever targeted any innocent civilians in their movement. The killings of 1980′s were government sponsored. It was the government which controlled everything; media, airwaves, state government(president rule), city government. It was the government who let the killings go on for 3 days in broad day light and it happened right in the heart of India’s capital; New Delhi.
Are we going to trust the corrupt government (Only India is the country where lawmakers are ex-robbers, murderers, rapist) or we going to trust ordinary hard-working justice seeking people from Assam, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Kashmir. It is certainly not a fault of any normal citizen of India as they are being blindly led by the media outlets propagated by government of India. Such recent news of Sikhs making threat to Commonwealth Games is pure hoax and a step by government to take media light away from real issues; corruption in government, indiction of cabient/federal ministers in killings of Sikhs 25 years ago resulting in death of more than 10,000 sikhs in Delhi.
To those who don’t know much about sikhs, it is against our Sikh Dharam to kill the innocent no matter what the conditions are, and all sikhs; whether Amritdhari or patit; follow this rule strictly in their daily practical lives. Sikhs are loyal and they do no hide from what they do or have done in the past, nor do they take any interest in blowing up public places in India. They could bring a lot more damage to the society but it is not in our religion to perform such horrible terror acts.
Once in front of 1,000-strong audience in Latin America, celebrated Indian writer Arundhati Roy told the audience that ‘‘India is not a democratic country’’. ‘The biggest PR myth of all times is that India is a democracy. In reality, it is not.
