At­tack on Gi­ani Am­rik Singh: Sikhs need se­ri­ous soul-search­ing

 -  -  114


Kesri Lehar ide­o­logue and cham­pion Jagdeesh Singh, as is his wont, asks se­ri­ous ques­tions that the Sikh com­mu­nity has to an­swer and the mech­a­nism that it has to de­lib­er­ate and evolve to ef­fec­tively de­feat the de­signs and ac­tions of such thugs as who at­tacked Gi­ani Am­rik Singh Chandi­garh while he was in­side the precincts of Gur­d­wara Park Av­enue in Southall, UK.

The thug­gish at­tack on a par­charak – Gi­ani Am­rik Singh Chandi­garh, once again, re­veals an en­dur­ing tu­mor­ous can­cer within the Sikh com­mu­nity which man­i­fests every so of­ten. 

Sikhs who give op­pos­ing opin­ions or chal­lenge a par­tic­u­lar group, of­ten be­come tar­gets of these thug­gish, in­tol­er­ant mobs. These loud, heck­ling, rude and in your face groups; do a lot to alien­ate peo­ple and dam­age our abil­ity to in­form and en­gage both fel­low Pan­jaabis and non-Pan­jaabis about our is­sues and causes.  

This rogue vi­o­lent, ag­gres­sive, bel­liger­ent el­e­ment is a tu­mour which ex­ists within many world com­mu­ni­ties. It is a no­tice­able fea­ture of third world and ‘fourth world’ (John Pa­p­worth) com­mu­ni­ties and na­tions, which are sub­ject to heavy ex­ter­nal re­pres­sion and vi­o­lence from an im­pos­ing, per­se­cut­ing rogue state (e.g. In­dia, Pak­istan, Turkey) cou­pled with a lack of an ed­u­cated main­stream within that com­mu­nity and a gen­eral chaotic, dis­or­derly, clumsy, cor­rupt, crude cul­ture of com­mu­nity ad­min­is­tra­tion.

This at­tack on Gi­ani Am­rik Singh when the Sikhs world­wide are at­tempt­ing to re­store the pride of the tur­ban through var­i­ous fo­rums and ac­tiv­i­ties, is a fur­ther wake up call to us all for a wake up and ac­tion on this hor­rid un­der­belly of ide­o­log­i­cal, so­cial and re­li­gious fas­cism. 

Pan­jaabis, Sikhs, Kash­miris, Tamils, Kurds, Pales­tini­ans are all ex­am­ples of this in­ter­nal vi­o­lence and frag­mented chaos. Their ex­ter­nal hos­tile state forces, ben­e­fit from these frag­mented weak­nesses and of­ten en­cour­ages and in­sid­i­ously feeds this. 

Does the main­stream Sikh com­mu­nity have the will and the in­fra­struc­ture to pun­ish and pre­vent these de­struc­tive mob groups from do­ing fur­ther dam­age? Or will there con­tinue to do such acts in Pan­jaab, UK, USA, Italy and be­yond across the Sikh pop­u­la­tion?

Vi­o­lent mobs are def­i­nitely not nor­mal to Sikh be­hav­iour. This is a new and dan­ger­ous trend. There is a def­i­nite seething, bur­geon­ing prob­lem of such ram­pant ha­rass­ment and vi­o­lence. I ask these big­oted minds, is their vi­sion of Sikh so­ci­ety or an in­de­pen­dent Sikh state one where they can openly and un-re­stric­tively go out and beat up and harm a per­son they dis­like? Is their in­ten­tion of state power based on their per­sonal mob power, cur­rently shown in their pu­tre­fy­ing acts of vi­o­lence in­side and out­side of gur­d­waras?  

Will their in­tended Sikh state, called Khal­is­tan or any­thing else, be one of dis­or­der and vi­o­lence? In­deed, what is their vi­sion of a Sikh state? 

Do they even have an au­then­tic sense of a true, mean­ing­ful Sikh state? So far, I have not seen any ev­i­dence of this. I have only seen anger, mob power and vi­o­lence. This is not what Pan­jaab free­dom and in­de­pen­dence and state­hood is at all about.

The last 30 years has pow­er­fully re­vealed the shock­ingly poor state of health of Sikh and Pan­jaabi in­sti­tu­tions, lead­ers and in­deed the com­mu­nity it­self. Lies, dou­ble-stan­dards, vi­o­lence, fraud, and more are ram­pant in Gur­d­waras, Gur­d­wara com­mit­tees, the Khal­is­tan move­ment, Sikh schools, Sikh char­i­ties, and more.

The id­iots are go­ing into gur­d­waras to beat up other Sikhs. These id­iots have no con­cern about the crimes against hu­man­ity which are go­ing on all the time in our homes, fam­i­lies and com­mu­nity. Per­haps, they may be per­pe­tra­tors them­selves. These id­iots are per­pe­tra­tors them­selves!

Imag­ine them run­ning Khal­is­tan. They would be dish­ing out pun­ish­ments to who­ever an­gered them, al­most like Sad­dam Hus­sein.

They are a dan­ger­ous in­ter­nal poi­son and threat to the Pan­jaabi com­mu­nity. These rogue, sus­pi­cious per­sons have alien­ated the wider Pan­jaabi com­mu­nity from Pan­jaabi causes and Pan­jaabi unity. They are dis­rup­tors, di­viders and demons.

Shock­ingly sad, but bit­terly true. As Guru Nanak pow­er­fully said: “What you sow, so will you reap.”

A Sikh ac­tivist per­turbed over the in­ci­dent re­marked, “No one sym­pa­thises, leave alone em­pathises  with a na­tion that is la­belled as ter­ror­ists, mass mur­der­ers, lu­natics and fa­nat­ics. 

This in­ci­dent when the Sikhs world­wide are at­tempt­ing to re­store the pride of the tur­ban through var­i­ous fo­rums and ac­tiv­i­ties, is a fur­ther wake up call to us all for a wake up and ac­tion on this hor­rid un­der­belly of ide­o­log­i­cal, so­cial and re­li­gious fas­cism. 

Why are these ag­i­tated el­e­ments not so ag­i­tated about real life is­sues of caste, do­mes­tic abuse, ho­n­our killings, etc, which are seething is­sues in our com­mu­nity still? Sikhs need to do soul-search­ing. The com­mu­nity has to rise up to these rogues be­fore it is too late.

These rogues, want power for the sake of power. Their god­fa­thers are in league with Badal Dal and BJP, only for the sake of power but over any prin­ci­ple what­so­ever. This vi­cious col­lec­tive of re­li­gious and non-re­li­gious rogues are run­ning amok across Pan­jaab and In­dia.

To save the sit­u­a­tion, Power to Pan­jaab, it’s unique land, it’s phe­nom­e­nal his­tory, it’s lib­er­at­ing and em­pow­er­ing Sikhi, it’s sem­i­nal Gu­rus, it’s awe­some Sha­heeds, it’s pro­found Bha­gats, it’s beau­ti­ful rivers, its lush soil, it’s vig­or­ous lan­guage, it’s much needed free­dom, it’s much de­served in­de­pen­dent state­hood, it’s much wanted in­ter­na­tional de­vel­op­ment!!!!… Power to Pan­jaab!!!! Power to small, nat­ural na­tions!!!! Down with mega states and false su­per-im­pos­ing na­tions, pro­duc­ing such rogues.
