Thanks for providing the "Burning Punjab" web page address through  Pakistan News Service digest. I visited the page as I am sure so many  others have seen these horrible pictures of the true face of India or Hindu Upper Cast I should say. As gruesome these picture and stories  are, this is not the first time it happened in India. If you read history, ever since the Aryans moved into the subcontinent thousands of years  ago they have been doing it to all other human beings.

Their first victim were the native people of India the Dravidians who became the lower cast people, not only they were physically enslaved but also mentally. Then they systematically killed other religious groups like Budhists, they have been killing their Muslim minorities for decades and now for the last 2 decades or so, they have turned towards Sikhs to do the same.

I don’t know how long this will go on. But there is definitely a need for  educating people around the world with things like these web pages, and to form alliances with minorities and other oppressed people in  India. So that these monsters could be dealt with.  The western powers won’t help Sikhs, I think they have made partnership with upper class Hindus (as Nehru and Montbetten were), so you have to do it yourself. And political alliance with other oppressed minorities is the only viable option to make sure these sort of things  won’t happen again, and the rights of the people are not violated.

Sukhbir Jee,
As the WSO Canada is absolutely dumb on the Didar Singh Bains’s reversal, I had written the following piece for their reaction. It has been published here. Still Canadian President has no reply. He is still maintaining that Bains has not refuted the Khalistan. It might make an interesting reading for, and perhaps for your readers.

************************************************************

Why?
What was the reason behind these intrusions?
What was the fault of Mr. Ramoowalia?

Just because Mr. Ramoowalia had openly spoken for Akhand Bharat and denounced the separatists movement for the creation of Khalistan?

And now!

Mr. Didar Singh Bains has been the driving force behind the establishment and the running of WSO. Recently, while visiting India or back home in America, he has repeatedly emphasised that he is the President of WSO. The First Article of the Constitution of WSO stipulates the creation of Sikh Homeland, Khalistan, as its foremost objective..

Without a penny worth of care for the Executive and the Members of  WSO, its President belligerently spoke against the creation of separate Sikh State. He announced, not just once but a number of times in India and in California, that, while the people of Punjab did not want Khalistan why should the Sikhs in foreign lands impress upon a struggle for the same. He is admiring the economic potentiality of India as a whole. With the connivance of some people, who have been against the separatists movement, he  has launched an international Bank, depending mostly on the Sikh efficacy in America. His action was highly unethical.

Either he should have taken WSO into confidence and amended its constitution before violating and ridiculing its aims and objects or he should have resigned before flouting its directives.But that is no concern of us, the outsiders. The only point I want to raise is to the gutless behaviour of the most flamboyant members of WSO, who had tried to make Mr. Ramoowalia’s functions miserable on the basis of similar issues.

Why are they quiet now? So far not a single person from WSO has spoken to reprimand Mr. Bains. Instead , WSO=s Toronto based most promineent spokesman blamed the media for miss-reporting. Canadian President absolved himself of his responsibility by saying that they cannot over look the benevolence showered upon WSO by Mr. Bains in the past. Why have they enshrouded themselves in timidity? Is it just the cowardice?

General consensus is that the whole of WSO is so much buried under the monetary endowments of Mr. Bains that no member can dare to say even one word against him.
