Punjabi? What Punjabis?; Sikhs? Really?

I have been a believer of two things that most of my brothers don’t agree with:

1. Khalistan is a political fad - I demand a secular India. Sant Bhindranwale never demanded Khalistan, he demanded equal rights in the state he lived in with the majority.

Demanding Khalistan is leaving our share on the whole of India, which is built on the sacrifice of blood of our ancestors, much more than any other majority or minority’s.

Sikhs own India from Kashmir to Kanyakumari as much as a Hindu or a Muslim owns it.

Trying to settle and separate into a small part of this land is running away like a looser and spitting on all the martyrs like Bhagat Singh, Udham Singh and all the Gadhri Babas who spilled their blood equally with the people of other faiths for their “SECULAR” dreamland.

Demanding a state on the base of religion is like moving back towards stone ages, like Taliban. Civilizations develop and attain new heights in the neighborhood of other civilizations.

2. We are in the same situation, in which we were when Guru Nanak started Sikhism.

ਰਾਜੇ ਸੀਹ ਮੁਕਦਮ ਕੁਤੇ ॥ — “The kings are tigers, and their officials are dogs; they go out and awaken the sleeping people to harass them. The public servants inflict wounds with their nails. The dogs lick up the blood that is spilled.”

Thats exactly what we have seen happening in the last few years. All these Sikhs died, we lost the track of development, were left miles behind in education to attain What???????

Have you ever thought? What have we attained? Let me show you -

-A rule under a CM with colors of a chameleon.

-A greater divide between rich and middle class.

-A more corrupt system, where NRI’s with no education are considered models of society.

-A state which has highest number of female foeticides and highest volumes of liquor flow.

-A state with a wine shop in every town and 14 rickety libraries in the whole state?

Everyday, I close my eyes, and I dream of the land of legendry Udham Singh, Kartar Singh, Bhagat Singh and then I see, what great punjabi writer Nanak Singh saw in Punjab years ago, when he was writing Chitta Lahu(White blood): Lifeless Hippocratic people of a Hippocratic society.

And all ye jathedaars, are you listening? Are you listening to the Jaikaras of Jagtar Singh Hawara, Balwant Singh, Shamsher Singh, Lakhwinder Singh and Gurmeet Singh, sikhs much noble than you all can ever be? And what is your choosen CM and Supremo of Supreme authority of Sikhs doing sitting on his @$$? He was not able to do anything to bring to justice anyone responsible for 84, atleast he could had been looking at the sentences being given to Sikhs during his reign. If Sajjan Kumar was served the same sentence these Singhs are expected to be served , I would not even had been writing a word.

Its a shameful day for Punjab. And especially for you’ll Sikhs. What least you can do,is to show your voice to your MLAs or contact your mama’s and masar’s and aunties and uncles, who may be either NRI’s or in the positions where they can force your legislative representatives to get up from their @$$ and do something wrongful decisions.

Guru Nanak Dev Jee, first guru of Sikhs quoted about similar situation during invasion of Babur in 1521.

“ਏਤੀ ਮਾਰ ਪਈ ਕਰਲਾਣੇ ਤੈਂ ਕੀ ਦਰਦੁ ਨ ਆਇਆ ॥੧॥(There was so much slaughter that the people screamed. Didn’t You feel compassion, Lord? ||1||)

ਕਰਤਾ ਤੂੰ ਸਭਨਾ ਕਾ ਸੋਈ ॥(O Creator Lord, You are the Master of all.)

ਜੇ ਸਕਤਾ ਸਕਤੇ ਕਉ ਮਾਰੇ ਤਾ ਮਨਿ ਰੋਸੁ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ (If some powerful man strikes out against another man, then no one feels any grief in their mind. ||1||Pause||)

ਸਕਤਾ ਸੀਹੁ ਮਾਰੇ ਪੈ ਵਗੈ ਖਸਮੈ ਸਾ ਪੁਰਸਾਈ ॥(But if a powerful tiger attacks a flock of sheep and kills them, then its master must answer for it.)

ਰਤਨ ਵਿਗਾੜਿ ਵਿਗੋਏ ਕੁਤੀ ਮੁਇਆ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਕਾਈ ॥(This priceless country has been laid waste and defiled by dogs, and no one pays any attention to the dead.)

ਆਪੇ ਜੋੜਿ ਵਿਛੋੜੇ ਆਪੇ ਵੇਖੁ ਤੇਰੀ ਵਡਿਆਈ ॥੨॥ (You Yourself unite, and You Yourself separate; I gaze upon Your Glorious Greatness. ||2||)

ਜੇ ਕੋ ਨਾਉ ਧਰਾਏ ਵਡਾ ਸਾਦ ਕਰੇ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਣੇ ॥ (One may give himself a great name, and revel in the pleasures of the mind,)

ਖਸਮੈ ਨਦਰੀ ਕੀੜਾ ਆਵੈ ਜੇਤੇ ਚੁਗੈ ਦਾਣੇ ॥ (but in the Eyes of the Lord and Master, he is just a worm, for all the corn that he eats.)

ਮਰਿ ਮਰਿ ਜੀਵੈ ਤਾ ਕਿਛੁ ਪਾਏ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਖਾਣੇ ॥੩॥੫॥੩੯॥(Only one who dies to his ego while yet alive, obtains the blessings, O Nanak, by chanting the Lord’s Name. ||3||5||39|| )
