I have read a book on the 1984 Sikh Riots, incidentally by the same man who flung his shoe on Pranab Mukherjee, now the President of India - Jarnail Singh.The book is titles "I accuse..." and is really heart wrending
The atrocities committed on the community is a brutal reminder to me about how twisted we all can become, once we step into a trail of madness, based on nothing but silly prejudice and stupid beliefs. This saddened me as a fellow human and an Indian. I wasn't even born then, but I feel for them.There was a recent article in Times Of India, where they said that the CBI has stated in front of the court that there was no record of any riots against Sikhs with the police, and without any official record, we can very well suggest that more than 3 million Sikh's committed mass suicide.I don't have any resources to prove if what TOI said was indeed correct, but if this was what they said, I'm disgusted beyond belief.All the people who died giving our country its independence, I'm sorry.Just that.-Vee
Aww ...C'mon now..I understand your sentiments but it would be prudent if you elaborate a bit on this...I accuse <<< That's what he said right ? ...Accuse Whom ? Of What ? ...The same people who helped him finagle his way to become the most dominant man in the state ?..Only to turn against em later as he became a defector ? ..
As far as I understand that, Jernail Singh operated at par with Babbar and Dal Khalsa and other such organizations motivated by vengeance. Bringing a bad repute to the name of Damdami Taksal .....He opposed the National language's prevalence as the teaching medium in the schools across the state ( When the state was very much the part of Union of India ) ..which he believed to be oppressive..Funny that ..😆
And who killed Sikhs first ? Who killed Nirankari Gurbachan Singh ? Cause he was for peaceful negotiations with the government and condemned all armed revolt? ...Who celebrated the killings of an Editor of a popular Newspaper who was also a Sikh ? Who fortified Akal Takth and made it the base of the most vicious militant activities ? <<< Now don't forget to consider the Time Stamp Miss ...The chronology of the events is of utmost significance in assessing the situation ...
Starting off astutely as a priest who preached against alcoholism ( <<< Haha..and this is not why I'm ranting against him ..No hell..😆 ) and other such activities , he slowly instilled hatred in the minds of his followers and provoked em into becoming anarchists...By making a few commonly disputable issues appear larger than life...This is how most dictators rise to power ...Yeah dictator in the making of course ..Cause if you know that, he had even started to jury people's disputes and give out verdicts that were binding on all parties ..A one man court ? ...😆 ..Let's not forget how one mediocre Austrian born man went onto became a German Chancellor ...
Alright now ..Can ya please tell me why you think the Government acted against a particular community ? Had they any motive ? Or they just entered a mad frenzy post independence and tossed a Coin and chose Bhindranwale and his supporters as the ones to be slaughtered ? ...😆
Vintu...😊
