HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS AND GENOCIDE OF SIKHS IN THE HOLY LAND OF PUNJAB, AND, ON NON-HINDU MINORITIES AN EPIDEMIC IN INDIA
MEMORANDUM: The Hon N. Pillay High Commissioner United Nations High Commission for Human Rights, UN Human Rights Council Palais des Nations, CH 1211 Geneva 10 SWITZERLAND
12th March, 2014
Your Excellency Mrs Pillay,
We, the Sikhs of Switzerland, European countries and North America, would like to apprise you, your Excellency, of the gross human rights abuses of the Sikhs and other non-Hindu minorities in India which have taken place since 15th August, 1947. This was the day when the British India authorities transferred political power to the ‘unelected’ Hindu-Brahmins leadership and left the non-Hindu minorities, especially the Sikhs, at the mercy of the majority, the Hindus-Brahmins (3% and 7% population of a total of over 1.2 billion hungry mouths; Sir VT Rajshekar, Editor in Chief,Dalit Voice, Mangalore, India).
Since receiving political power from the British Empire, despite the protest of the Sikhs at large and their leadership for not returning their ‘First Sovereign and Secular’ Sikh nation of South Asia, of a Sikh monarch, Ranjit Singh (1799-1849), to the Sikhs. The predominantly (?) Hindu India has exterminated more than 3.4 million Sikhs since 15th August, 1947; more than one million in the decade of 1981-91 (Singh S 1995 The Sikhs in History ISBN 0-96475555-0-5; Dilgeer HS and Sekhon AS 1992 The Sikhs’ Struggle for Sovereignty An Historical Perspective (ed) A T Kerr ISBN 0-9695964-1-3 University of Alberta P O, Edmonton, AB T6G 2S5, Canada; Sekhon AS Dilgeer HS 1999 A White Paper On Khalistan (A True Story) The Sikh Nation (ed) AT Kerr ISBN 0-9695964-8-0; Sekhon AS Dilgeer HS 2002 India Kills the Sikhs, 3rd Ed, ISBN 0-9695964-9-9; Sekhon AS 2005 India’s Genocides of Sikhs, 1981-1991: History Revisited Int J Sikh Affairs 15(2), 28, 2005 (Chief Guest Editor: AT Kerr) ISSN 1481-5435; Sekhon AS 2010 The Sikhs: Sovereignty To Slavery ISBN 978-0-9811360-8-0). Since the brutal military “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984, more than 260,000 innocent Sikh infants, children, youth, male and female folks have been slaughtered [Int J Sikh Affairs 10(2): 27-29, 2000 ISSN 1481-5435; Sekhon AS 2000 Proc 8th Sikh Edu Conf, Toronto, ON, Sept 23; Walia AS Sudan TS 2001 Genesis of State Terrorism in Punjab.

We would like to apprise you further that the Sikh Nation, Punjab, the 'First Sovereign and Secular' nation of South Asia of monarch Ranjit Singh, 1799 to 14th March, 1849, was 'robbed' by the alleged Indian democracy on 15th August, 1947; hereafter called the “robbed” Punjab under India’s occupation (see above also). The Sikhs' constitutional rights, Sikh religion and Sikh traditions were 'swallowed' in the Indian Constitution 1950, Article 25. The very Constitution 1950 was 'rejected', in the Indian parliament (Lok Sabha), in its draft and final forms, in 1948, 26 November 1949, 1950 and more recently on 6th September 1966. The Sikhs' elected representatives who 'rejected' the Constitution, on behalf of their people or constituents of Punjab, were Sardar Hukam Singh, Sardar Bhupinder Singh Maan and Sirdar Kapur Singh, ICS, MP, MLA and the National Professor of Sikhism. Since their 'rejection of the Indian Constitution 1950', none of the Sikhs' elected representatives has accepted/endorsed/signed the Indian Constitution implemented by the deceitful, divisive, devious and apartheid practicing alleged Indian democracy of the 'Brahmins-Hindus'. It must be considered seriously that under what Constitutional rights, the apartheid practicing alleged Indian democracy has been ruling the 'Sikhs of Punjab (including Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Punjabi-speaking areas of Punjab/Sikh Nation/the Sikh Raj of Ranjit Singh) since 15th August, 1947? The story of the Sikhs of Punjab does not end here. Rather it has been continuing, since the Sikh Nation has been under the 'slavery and occupation' of the oppressive and suppressive alleged Indian democracy of the 'terrorist Brahmins-Hindus', who had been 'subservient' to the Afghans, Mughals, Sikhs, British, Portuguese, etc., for more than 3,500 years.
Additionally, the excesses of the Indian forces can be summarized as follows:
On 5th November, 1978, the Hindu India police of Delhi fired at a Sikh procession and killed four Sikhs, including the president of the Delhi Akali Party [Sekhon AS and Dilgeer HS 1999, 2006 A White Paper On Khalistan (A True Story) The Sikh Nation (ed) A T Kerr ISBN 0-9695964-8-0]. Acting Mukh-Sewadar, or Chief of Akal Takht Sahib, the Supreme Seat of the Sikh Polity, Amritsar, Singh Sahib Bhai Gurdev Singh Kaunke, was abducted on 20th December 1993, tortured, killed and his body dumped in a canal on 3rd January 1994.
On October 27, 1995, the Human Rights activist of the Akali Dal (Badal), Sardar Jaswant Singh Khalra, was killed at the Chhabal police station, Amritsar. His body was thrown into the Harike Canal. A police officer, A. S. Sandhu (supposedly committed suicide), abducted a Sikh religious leader, Charan Singh, tortured him and was made to dispose of his body. Earlier, the same police officer had abducted Charan Singh’s brother and his driver. Tying his legs to two jeeps, which were driven off in opposite directions, killed the latter.
A former Punjab administration headed by a corrupt Sikh, Prakash Sinh Badal, attacked the Darbar Sahib Complex (mistakenly known as the Golden Temple Complex) on 7th February, 1998, desecrated its sanctity and deposed the custodian of The Akal Takht Sahib, using his state powers. He forcibly removed the Senior Minister or Custodian of Akal Takht Sahib, the Supreme Seat of the Sikh Polity, Bhai Ranjit Singh. The administration of Prakash Sinh Badal, has spent more than 20 million rupees for legal fees to protect the police officers participated in the genocide of the Sikhs. Voted, under the Constitution of India, which has been ‘rejected by the Sikhs repeatedly’, for his maneuvering, his collision (Badal and associates’) with the anti-Sikh political parties of the Hindu-Brahmins militants and fundamentalists. i. e., the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), Rashtriya Swamsewak Sangh (RSS), etc., are at the back of the Chief Minister of the “Robbed” Punjab of 15th August, 1947. Prakash Sinh Badal, is an agent of India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW; Gurtej Singh 2000 Chakarvyuh: Web of Indian Secularism ISBN 81-85815-14-3) and a staunch turbaned Hindu/Brahmin in ‘The Sikh Identity’. Prakash Badal has kept his lips ‘sealed’ when the Punjab Legislative Assembly debated the ‘Freedom of Press, news media and the free speech recently (www.rozanaspokesman.com, 8th-13th March, 2008). The freedom of speech and expression are the fundamental human rights in any democracy. This is the clear reflection of the democratic or ‘autocratic’ nature of Mr Badal.
On February 6, 2000, the death of a Dalit youth in police custody in Morinda, Ludhiana, was horrifying. He was killed in cold blood because he objected to police’s drinking session at a public place. This incidence revived memories of the dark period in the history of Punjab when countless innocent young men were killed in false encounters, but police records turned them into ruthless terrorists. A mother of six sons, Bibi Jaswant Kaur, lost her husband in 1987. Three of her six sons succumbed to tuberculosis. The other three were abducted and killed by Punjab police. One of the three sons, Pragat Singh, 23-yrs-old, was arrested in 1987, kept in captivity for 14 months. After his release police raided his home on 9th September 1988, and shot him dead. The eldest son, Jagir Singh, 25-yrs-old, working as a volunteer in a Taran Taran Gurdwara, was taken by the police and did not return. The youngest son, Mohinder Singh (20-yrs-old) was with the religious man, Baba Charan Singh (see above). He was abducted by the police on 14th June 1991 and died in police custody. Jaswant Kaur has tried all possible avenues to get justice, but has had no luck (jkaurgrewal@yahoo.com; March 20, 2001; post #4181;

Even outside India, Sikhs being harassed by the Indian government and its allies, according to the Hon Edolphus Towns, MC (Extensions of Remarks - February 27, 2001). Miscreants stormed a church and ransacked the premises while a spiritual meeting and prayers were in progress in Hyderabad, A P (www.burningpunjab.com; 24th March, 2001).
A group of men killed their rape victim, a mother of seven, in the village of Singana and then gouged out the eyes of two witnesses in India's lawless eastern state of Bihar, the Press Trust of India reportedThursday (February 8, 2001; AFP). The rapists then used the woman's sickle to hack her to death. They then attacked four labourers who witnessed the crime.
Since 1998, Christian missionaries including one from Australia (Father Graham Stains), his 8- & 10-yr-old sons, and Roman Catholic nuns, have been killed, burnt alive or raped by the Hindu fundamentalists. The burning, destruction and demolishing of the Houses of God of the non-Hindu minorities, the Sikh Gurdwaras, Churches and Mosques, looting and desecrating the holy and historical places of the non-Hindu minorities are the modus operandi of successive Indian administrations and state- sponsored hoodlums (Hon John T Doolittle, MC India Coalition Partner Threaten To Engulf Country In Violence, House of Representatives, July 27, 2000, The US Congress; Hon Edolphus Towns, MC July 27, 2000. Christian Persecution in India, House of Representatives, The US Congress).
Militant Hindu hoodlums in Uttarpara, West Bengal, attacked a train carrying Sikh pilgrims and the Sikh Holy scriptures, Guru Granth Sahib, in June, 2001. The Hindu hoodlums stoned the Sikh pilgrims, burned the Holy Scriptures, and tried to set fire to the train (Press Release: Council of Khalistan. Train Attack Is Wake-Up Call for Sikh Nation, June 27, 2001
<cok@khalistan.com>). In an affidavit filed on 28th August, 2000, by Mr Sartaj Singh, resident of Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir (under the occupation of Indian administration), Internationally Disputed areas by the United Nations, stated that he was tortured and received painful psychological harassment by the Indian police. The police personnel wanted him to confess for the things, which he never did. The police personnel also wanted him to tell the whereabouts of Neetaalias Ranjit Singh, a freedom fighter, Harbhajan Singh, Gian Singh and Joginder Singh, who are at large. The police personnel wanted him to make a false confession that ‘we all know one another’.
Miss Manorama of Manipur was gang raped by the Assam Rifles men and was thrown out of the headquarters after mutilating her private parts in July, 2004. More recently (9th February, 2005), a 12-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a constable of the force in central Assam’s Karbi Anglong district, triggering protests from women’s organizations. In a blatant violation of human rights, the district police today tortured a Dalit youth to death after he refused to accept his involvement in a theft case (Jalandhar, February 6’ tibruneindia.com).
The World Kashmir Diaspora Alliance reports that "since the Indian forces occupation, more than 195,000 innocent Kashmiris have been killed; more than 500,000 have disappeared, and the latter have been killed by the invader's troops or they have been languishing in Indian jails with no information to their families. In the last three months, the death toll of the ongoing Kashmiri unrest is 96, as another youth, Yasir Rafiq Sheikh, a cousin of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chief, Muhammad Yasin Malik, succumbed to his injuries on late Wednesdaynight inflicted by the Indian personnel and kept in a New Delhi hospital.Additionally, at least 10 persons were injured by the alleged CRPF firing on protesters in Sopar. For the last six days Kashmir is under curfew round the clock (bangla-vision@yahoogroups.com
To avoid arrest warrants to be served by the Sikhs for Justice Canada and the U S, of their visits to the United States of America and Canada, both the Chief Minister Prakash Sinh Badal and his Deputy Premier, Sukhbir Sinh Badal of the “Robbed” Punjab of 15th August, 1947, had no choice but to cancel their trips to the USA and Canada, respectively, in 2013.
The above are only a few of the hundreds of thousands of cases we would like to bring to your kind attention, your Excellency. We hereby request you to dispatch a fact finding mission to India to assess in depth the crimes committed against humanity by armed and law-enforcing agencies in ‘uniforms’ and bring the criminals before the International Court of Justice in the same way as the U N has done to punish the criminals of the Rwanda and Serbia massacres in 2000; S. Milosevic of Serbia in July 2001; the former Serb police chief, Steven Todorovic, who pleaded guilty for torturing, murdering and sexually assaulting Muslims and Croats (National Post, 1st August, 2001, p A11); and Radislav Krstic for the Srebrenica genocide of Muslims in 1995 (National Post, August 3, 2001, p A3). The UN tribunal has taken a landmark decision recently to include “sex torture as a war crime” (National Post, February, 23, 2001). Also, the UN Secretary-General (former), His Excellency Kofi Annan’s interview (Time, 4th September, 2000) will be welcomed by the justice-loving peoples of our civilized world that “those who commit crimes and those who watch as bystanders are equally responsible for the crime taking place.” What we have brought to your attention, your Excellency, anti-human activities of the India’s Brahmins-Hindus administrations which are just the ‘tip of the iceberg’ of human rights abuses, religious persecution(s), rapes, humiliation, dehumanization and crimes committed by the state-sanctioned armed personnel of what our civilized world terms as the “largest democracy” of the world, India. A
leading magazine has pointed out “India is ruled by rascals.” “Many Indians silently witness their country’s unlawful events. Several members of the ruling party’s youth wing have in the past been charged with rapes and kidnapping. Officials respond that all parties have their thugs. Politicians use thugs to capture polling booths and stuff ballot boxes (The Economist, 15th July, 1995, p. 26).” According to the Hon Dana Rohrabacher, for the Sikhs, Kashmiri Muslims, and other minorities“India might as well be Nazi Germany” (Press Release: Council of Khalistan, Washington DC; June 27, 2001< khalistan@khalistan.com>
Manmohan Sinh, the present Chief, Council of Ministers, a non-elected ‘Member of Parliament’ of India, supposed to be an honest and clean person delivered his state address before the “World Conference on Human Rights Delegates in Vienna, Austria, on 24th June (14 to 25th June), 1993). He, then Finance Minister of the PV Rao’s administration, said that “he being Sikh finds no abuses of Human Rights of Sikhs much less any minorities in India.” Another person, Shahabuddin, Manmohan Singh’s colleague of the Islamic faith, said the same of Muslims of India. Abuses of Human Rights in the Sikhs’ holy and historic Homeland, Punjab, Khalistan (under the Brahmins-Hindus autocracy’s occupation), have been taking place, since 15th August, 1947. Manmohan Singh’s statement was ‘refuted’ in the strongest possible words by the human rights and peace- loving citizens (delegates) of North America and elsewhere.
Your Excellency, following the execution of “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984, an ‘undeclared’ war on the Sikh Nation, Punjab, was waged by the Indian armed forces, according to Sekhon (2009 ISBN 0-9548929-4-1). During “Operation Bluestar, June 1984”, every village of the Sikhs’ holy and historic homeland, Punjab, was turned into a “Concentration Camp;” ’Open air’ jails were established outside every village of Punjab. These jails were covered by the barbed wires, in the heat of June – August months, when the usual temperatures in Punjab are 47 C or more, had been under the supervision of the Indian armed personnel, were no less than the concentration camps of Adolf Hitler’s times in the Nazi Germany. These ‘open air’ barbed wire concentration camps/jails were used to prison the Sikhs indiscriminately regardless of gender and age. Sanitary facilities were virtually non-existent. This reflects the treatment of Indira Gandhi and her administration of the Brahmins autocracy to the Sikhs.” It has been posted that General JJ Singh, Chief, Indian Army (Former), had been promoted to the highest rank because of his participation in an ‘undeclared’ war in the form of a brutal military “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984, on the Sikhs and their Holy and Historic Homeland, Punjab (www.facebook.com 2nd September, 2013).
In June 1984, the present Chief Minister of Punjab, Prakash Sinh Badal, virtually devoid of maintaining 'law and order', had been one of the instigators to wage an ‘undeclared’ war on the Punjab, the state he has been administrating (see above).
The Right Honorable David Cameron pleaded with the British Sikhs that "forgive Tories" when the declassified documents revealed that that Mrs Thatcher advised Indian government of Indira Gandhi on how to attack a temple (https://www.gov.uk/
Bibi Manjit Kaur Dakha (1992): Manjit Kaur Dakha and her husband sought political asylum in the United States after being tortured by the Indian armed personnel. Mrs. Dakha, her father, and her 6-mo-old daughter (Bhaghel Kaur) were tortured mercilessly, given repeated death threats, and her child was made to sit on a colony of ants by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). The daughter and father were made to beat each other with clubs.
Sardar Surinder Singh Fauji (a retired army personnel), of Fatehabad, Tehsil: Khadur Sahib of Amritsar district of Punjab, has been physically, mentally and psychologically tortured by Punjab police since May 27, 1986. Valuable household articles were stolen by the police personnel from his residence and never returned. Despite his writing to the Prime Minister (PV Rao), Home Minister of India (SB Chawan), Chief Justice, Supreme Court of India, Chief Justice, Punjab and Haryana High court, and the Senior Session Judge, Amritsar, there was no relief from the police excesses.
More than 35 Sikh youth, including Kanwarpal Singh Bittu and Sarbjit Singh Ghuman of the Dal Khalsa, were in police custody. Similarly, Jagtaar Singh Hawara, his wife and other family members are humiliated (by putting cigarettes and tobacco in his mouth), tortured and harassed by the Punjab and Delhi police (www.panthic.org17th July, 2005). Another Sikh leader, Daljit Singh Bittu, President, Panch Pradhani, and thousand of Sikh youth are in jails, without trials and crimes.
A human rights lawyer and prominent Sikh nationalist Harpal Singh Cheema, after spending eight years in a California jail, whom Judge Dana Keener determined Singh did not pose a threat to national security. The Hon judge stopped short of granting him full asylum, but forbade the then-INS from deporting the couple. Indeed, she noted that Singh “is widely perceived as a moderate and a voice for reason (Camille T Tairara, Editor, New America Media, News Feature, Aug 07, 2006). To escape atrocities and persecution during custody of the Indian law-enforcing personnel until 1992, Mr Cheema and his wife sought asylum in the United States in1993 (www.news.ncmonline.com/news/
A mass Grave of Sikhs killed in November 1984 has been discovered after 26 years in village Hondh-Chillar, District Rewari, Haryana. The village was inhabited by several Sikh families. On November 2nd, 1984 in an organized and well planned attack, the entire village was burnt, along with the Sikh population and Gurudwara. The village consisting of torched houses, a burnt Gurudwara and scattered human bones have now been discovered (www.punjabspectrum.com, 17thFebruary, 2011; Giaspur MS 2013 www.facebook.com).
It is learned from highly reliable sources that the CRPF had been maintaining at least four deep pans of boiled oil to kill alive the Sikh youth in Amritsar in the post-undeclared war on the occupied Sikh Nation, under the consent of the then administration of India.
Recently, in the second week of February, 2010, the Punjab police killed 13 youth in Ludhiana district of Punjab, while they were participating in the Birthday celebrations of Shaheed-Bilas Saint-soldier Jarnail Singh Khalsa, Punjab’s political and religious leader (www.punjabspectrum.com, February 21, 2011). According to the Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), the summons against Congress have been issued pursuant to a class action lawsuit filed (SFJ v. Congress (I) SDNY (10 CV 2940)) under Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA) and Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA). The plaintiffs in the case against Congress (I) are "Sikhs For Justice" (SFJ) a US based human rights group along with several Sikhs from different states and cities of India who survived attacks in November 1984 (3rdMarch, 2011, posted by SFJon many websites). Reported recently (www.facebook.com, 14th March, 2011), large number of Sikhs gathered in Gurudwara at Pandri Kattaiyyan 10 km from Nanakmatta, Pilibhit road and 15 km from Sitarganj. The gurudwara was locked but ransacked and the Holy Scripture of Sikhs, Guru Granth Sahib, was set on fire; whereas, two more copies were torned off by sharp weapons. The majority of farmers in this area is the Sikhs, Musilms and Biharis labourer. A Muslim named Mehadi Hassan (MH) was caught stealing the motor from Gurudawara a couple of days ago. He was handed over to Police. It is reported his involvement along with his some other Muslims, who attacked Gurudwara Sahib, burnt the Holy Scripture and the cut the pages with sharp edged weapons. Temporary Granthi/custodian Narinder Singh also hides the truth as he seems under pressure. It is understood that some Hindu fundamentalists and miscreants are involved to incite MH and his associates to create animosity between the Sikh and Muslim communities of UP and Utrakhand. It has been done before by the Brahmins-Hindus personnel of the Indian Government in the occupied-Jammu and Kashmir during President William J Clinton’s state visit to India. A few weeks earlier in August, 2011 desecration of Sikhs’ Holy Scripture took place in a town in Hoshiarpur district of Punjab. Recently, the Vice Chancellor of the Punjab University, invited Professor of Sikhism Gurtej Singh, to write an invitational article on the ‘Sikh War Code’. Professor Gurtej Singh’s invitational article was ‘rejected’ on the ground that certain changes are required before it was accepted for publication by his university. This is a ‘discrimination’ of Punjab University’s policy against the Sikhs and the highly esteemed Sikh writer and the professor of Sikhism of the international caliber. More than 257,000 Sikh farmers have committed suicide since post-“Operation Bluestar” era in the‘robbed’ PUNJANB, because heavy burdens of the taxes imposed by the administration of Prakash Sinh Badal (Rozana spokesman, 29th February, 2012).
We request you to bring to justice the deceased or living politicians of Indian administrations (Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Chandershekhar, P Chidambaram (now Home Minister of India; one of the members of a 3-men Team in the 'War Room' during an 'undeclared' war on the 'Landless Sikh Nation, ‘robbed’ Punjab' of 15th August, 1947, in June, 1984).

Your Excellency Mrs Pillay,
We, the Sikhs of Switzerland, European countries and North America, would like to apprise you, your Excellency, of the gross human rights abuses of the Sikhs and other non-Hindu minorities in India which have taken place since 15th August, 1947. This was the day when the British India authorities transferred political power to the ‘unelected’ Hindu-Brahmins leadership and left the non-Hindu minorities, especially the Sikhs, at the mercy of the majority, the Hindus-Brahmins (3% and 7% population of a total of over 1.2 billion hungry mouths; Sir VT Rajshekar, Editor in Chief,Dalit Voice, Mangalore, India).
Since receiving political power from the British Empire, despite the protest of the Sikhs at large and their leadership for not returning their ‘First Sovereign and Secular’ Sikh nation of South Asia, of a Sikh monarch, Ranjit Singh (1799-1849), to the Sikhs. The predominantly (?) Hindu India has exterminated more than 3.4 million Sikhs since 15th August, 1947; more than one million in the decade of 1981-91 (Singh S 1995 The Sikhs in History ISBN 0-96475555-0-5; Dilgeer HS and Sekhon AS 1992 The Sikhs’ Struggle for Sovereignty An Historical Perspective (ed) A T Kerr ISBN 0-9695964-1-3 University of Alberta P O, Edmonton, AB T6G 2S5, Canada; Sekhon AS Dilgeer HS 1999 A White Paper On Khalistan (A True Story) The Sikh Nation (ed) AT Kerr ISBN 0-9695964-8-0; Sekhon AS Dilgeer HS 2002 India Kills the Sikhs, 3rd Ed, ISBN 0-9695964-9-9; Sekhon AS 2005 India’s Genocides of Sikhs, 1981-1991: History Revisited Int J Sikh Affairs 15(2), 28, 2005 (Chief Guest Editor: AT Kerr) ISSN 1481-5435; Sekhon AS 2010 The Sikhs: Sovereignty To Slavery ISBN 978-0-9811360-8-0). Since the brutal military “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984, more than 260,000 innocent Sikh infants, children, youth, male and female folks have been slaughtered [Int J Sikh Affairs 10(2): 27-29, 2000 ISSN 1481-5435; Sekhon AS 2000 Proc 8th Sikh Edu Conf, Toronto, ON, Sept 23; Walia AS Sudan TS 2001 Genesis of State Terrorism in Punjab.

We would like to apprise you further that the Sikh Nation, Punjab, the 'First Sovereign and Secular' nation of South Asia of monarch Ranjit Singh, 1799 to 14th March, 1849, was 'robbed' by the alleged Indian democracy on 15th August, 1947; hereafter called the “robbed” Punjab under India’s occupation (see above also). The Sikhs' constitutional rights, Sikh religion and Sikh traditions were 'swallowed' in the Indian Constitution 1950, Article 25. The very Constitution 1950 was 'rejected', in the Indian parliament (Lok Sabha), in its draft and final forms, in 1948, 26 November 1949, 1950 and more recently on 6th September 1966. The Sikhs' elected representatives who 'rejected' the Constitution, on behalf of their people or constituents of Punjab, were Sardar Hukam Singh, Sardar Bhupinder Singh Maan and Sirdar Kapur Singh, ICS, MP, MLA and the National Professor of Sikhism. Since their 'rejection of the Indian Constitution 1950', none of the Sikhs' elected representatives has accepted/endorsed/signed the Indian Constitution implemented by the deceitful, divisive, devious and apartheid practicing alleged Indian democracy of the 'Brahmins-Hindus'. It must be considered seriously that under what Constitutional rights, the apartheid practicing alleged Indian democracy has been ruling the 'Sikhs of Punjab (including Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Punjabi-speaking areas of Punjab/Sikh Nation/the Sikh Raj of Ranjit Singh) since 15th August, 1947? The story of the Sikhs of Punjab does not end here. Rather it has been continuing, since the Sikh Nation has been under the 'slavery and occupation' of the oppressive and suppressive alleged Indian democracy of the 'terrorist Brahmins-Hindus', who had been 'subservient' to the Afghans, Mughals, Sikhs, British, Portuguese, etc., for more than 3,500 years.
Additionally, the excesses of the Indian forces can be summarized as follows:
On 5th November, 1978, the Hindu India police of Delhi fired at a Sikh procession and killed four Sikhs, including the president of the Delhi Akali Party [Sekhon AS and Dilgeer HS 1999, 2006 A White Paper On Khalistan (A True Story) The Sikh Nation (ed) A T Kerr ISBN 0-9695964-8-0]. Acting Mukh-Sewadar, or Chief of Akal Takht Sahib, the Supreme Seat of the Sikh Polity, Amritsar, Singh Sahib Bhai Gurdev Singh Kaunke, was abducted on 20th December 1993, tortured, killed and his body dumped in a canal on 3rd January 1994.
On October 27, 1995, the Human Rights activist of the Akali Dal (Badal), Sardar Jaswant Singh Khalra, was killed at the Chhabal police station, Amritsar. His body was thrown into the Harike Canal. A police officer, A. S. Sandhu (supposedly committed suicide), abducted a Sikh religious leader, Charan Singh, tortured him and was made to dispose of his body. Earlier, the same police officer had abducted Charan Singh’s brother and his driver. Tying his legs to two jeeps, which were driven off in opposite directions, killed the latter.
A former Punjab administration headed by a corrupt Sikh, Prakash Sinh Badal, attacked the Darbar Sahib Complex (mistakenly known as the Golden Temple Complex) on 7th February, 1998, desecrated its sanctity and deposed the custodian of The Akal Takht Sahib, using his state powers. He forcibly removed the Senior Minister or Custodian of Akal Takht Sahib, the Supreme Seat of the Sikh Polity, Bhai Ranjit Singh. The administration of Prakash Sinh Badal, has spent more than 20 million rupees for legal fees to protect the police officers participated in the genocide of the Sikhs. Voted, under the Constitution of India, which has been ‘rejected by the Sikhs repeatedly’, for his maneuvering, his collision (Badal and associates’) with the anti-Sikh political parties of the Hindu-Brahmins militants and fundamentalists. i. e., the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), Rashtriya Swamsewak Sangh (RSS), etc., are at the back of the Chief Minister of the “Robbed” Punjab of 15th August, 1947. Prakash Sinh Badal, is an agent of India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW; Gurtej Singh 2000 Chakarvyuh: Web of Indian Secularism ISBN 81-85815-14-3) and a staunch turbaned Hindu/Brahmin in ‘The Sikh Identity’. Prakash Badal has kept his lips ‘sealed’ when the Punjab Legislative Assembly debated the ‘Freedom of Press, news media and the free speech recently (www.rozanaspokesman.com, 8th-13th March, 2008). The freedom of speech and expression are the fundamental human rights in any democracy. This is the clear reflection of the democratic or ‘autocratic’ nature of Mr Badal.
On February 6, 2000, the death of a Dalit youth in police custody in Morinda, Ludhiana, was horrifying. He was killed in cold blood because he objected to police’s drinking session at a public place. This incidence revived memories of the dark period in the history of Punjab when countless innocent young men were killed in false encounters, but police records turned them into ruthless terrorists. A mother of six sons, Bibi Jaswant Kaur, lost her husband in 1987. Three of her six sons succumbed to tuberculosis. The other three were abducted and killed by Punjab police. One of the three sons, Pragat Singh, 23-yrs-old, was arrested in 1987, kept in captivity for 14 months. After his release police raided his home on 9th September 1988, and shot him dead. The eldest son, Jagir Singh, 25-yrs-old, working as a volunteer in a Taran Taran Gurdwara, was taken by the police and did not return. The youngest son, Mohinder Singh (20-yrs-old) was with the religious man, Baba Charan Singh (see above). He was abducted by the police on 14th June 1991 and died in police custody. Jaswant Kaur has tried all possible avenues to get justice, but has had no luck (jkaurgrewal@yahoo.com; March 20, 2001; post #4181;

Even outside India, Sikhs being harassed by the Indian government and its allies, according to the Hon Edolphus Towns, MC (Extensions of Remarks - February 27, 2001). Miscreants stormed a church and ransacked the premises while a spiritual meeting and prayers were in progress in Hyderabad, A P (www.burningpunjab.com; 24th March, 2001).
A group of men killed their rape victim, a mother of seven, in the village of Singana and then gouged out the eyes of two witnesses in India's lawless eastern state of Bihar, the Press Trust of India reportedThursday (February 8, 2001; AFP). The rapists then used the woman's sickle to hack her to death. They then attacked four labourers who witnessed the crime.
Since 1998, Christian missionaries including one from Australia (Father Graham Stains), his 8- & 10-yr-old sons, and Roman Catholic nuns, have been killed, burnt alive or raped by the Hindu fundamentalists. The burning, destruction and demolishing of the Houses of God of the non-Hindu minorities, the Sikh Gurdwaras, Churches and Mosques, looting and desecrating the holy and historical places of the non-Hindu minorities are the modus operandi of successive Indian administrations and state- sponsored hoodlums (Hon John T Doolittle, MC India Coalition Partner Threaten To Engulf Country In Violence, House of Representatives, July 27, 2000, The US Congress; Hon Edolphus Towns, MC July 27, 2000. Christian Persecution in India, House of Representatives, The US Congress).
Militant Hindu hoodlums in Uttarpara, West Bengal, attacked a train carrying Sikh pilgrims and the Sikh Holy scriptures, Guru Granth Sahib, in June, 2001. The Hindu hoodlums stoned the Sikh pilgrims, burned the Holy Scriptures, and tried to set fire to the train (Press Release: Council of Khalistan. Train Attack Is Wake-Up Call for Sikh Nation, June 27, 2001
<cok@khalistan.com>). In an affidavit filed on 28th August, 2000, by Mr Sartaj Singh, resident of Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir (under the occupation of Indian administration), Internationally Disputed areas by the United Nations, stated that he was tortured and received painful psychological harassment by the Indian police. The police personnel wanted him to confess for the things, which he never did. The police personnel also wanted him to tell the whereabouts of Neetaalias Ranjit Singh, a freedom fighter, Harbhajan Singh, Gian Singh and Joginder Singh, who are at large. The police personnel wanted him to make a false confession that ‘we all know one another’.
Miss Manorama of Manipur was gang raped by the Assam Rifles men and was thrown out of the headquarters after mutilating her private parts in July, 2004. More recently (9th February, 2005), a 12-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a constable of the force in central Assam’s Karbi Anglong district, triggering protests from women’s organizations. In a blatant violation of human rights, the district police today tortured a Dalit youth to death after he refused to accept his involvement in a theft case (Jalandhar, February 6’ tibruneindia.com).
The World Kashmir Diaspora Alliance reports that "since the Indian forces occupation, more than 195,000 innocent Kashmiris have been killed; more than 500,000 have disappeared, and the latter have been killed by the invader's troops or they have been languishing in Indian jails with no information to their families. In the last three months, the death toll of the ongoing Kashmiri unrest is 96, as another youth, Yasir Rafiq Sheikh, a cousin of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front chief, Muhammad Yasin Malik, succumbed to his injuries on late Wednesdaynight inflicted by the Indian personnel and kept in a New Delhi hospital.Additionally, at least 10 persons were injured by the alleged CRPF firing on protesters in Sopar. For the last six days Kashmir is under curfew round the clock (bangla-vision@yahoogroups.com
To avoid arrest warrants to be served by the Sikhs for Justice Canada and the U S, of their visits to the United States of America and Canada, both the Chief Minister Prakash Sinh Badal and his Deputy Premier, Sukhbir Sinh Badal of the “Robbed” Punjab of 15th August, 1947, had no choice but to cancel their trips to the USA and Canada, respectively, in 2013.
The above are only a few of the hundreds of thousands of cases we would like to bring to your kind attention, your Excellency. We hereby request you to dispatch a fact finding mission to India to assess in depth the crimes committed against humanity by armed and law-enforcing agencies in ‘uniforms’ and bring the criminals before the International Court of Justice in the same way as the U N has done to punish the criminals of the Rwanda and Serbia massacres in 2000; S. Milosevic of Serbia in July 2001; the former Serb police chief, Steven Todorovic, who pleaded guilty for torturing, murdering and sexually assaulting Muslims and Croats (National Post, 1st August, 2001, p A11); and Radislav Krstic for the Srebrenica genocide of Muslims in 1995 (National Post, August 3, 2001, p A3). The UN tribunal has taken a landmark decision recently to include “sex torture as a war crime” (National Post, February, 23, 2001). Also, the UN Secretary-General (former), His Excellency Kofi Annan’s interview (Time, 4th September, 2000) will be welcomed by the justice-loving peoples of our civilized world that “those who commit crimes and those who watch as bystanders are equally responsible for the crime taking place.” What we have brought to your attention, your Excellency, anti-human activities of the India’s Brahmins-Hindus administrations which are just the ‘tip of the iceberg’ of human rights abuses, religious persecution(s), rapes, humiliation, dehumanization and crimes committed by the state-sanctioned armed personnel of what our civilized world terms as the “largest democracy” of the world, India. A
leading magazine has pointed out “India is ruled by rascals.” “Many Indians silently witness their country’s unlawful events. Several members of the ruling party’s youth wing have in the past been charged with rapes and kidnapping. Officials respond that all parties have their thugs. Politicians use thugs to capture polling booths and stuff ballot boxes (The Economist, 15th July, 1995, p. 26).” According to the Hon Dana Rohrabacher, for the Sikhs, Kashmiri Muslims, and other minorities“India might as well be Nazi Germany” (Press Release: Council of Khalistan, Washington DC; June 27, 2001< khalistan@khalistan.com>
Manmohan Sinh, the present Chief, Council of Ministers, a non-elected ‘Member of Parliament’ of India, supposed to be an honest and clean person delivered his state address before the “World Conference on Human Rights Delegates in Vienna, Austria, on 24th June (14 to 25th June), 1993). He, then Finance Minister of the PV Rao’s administration, said that “he being Sikh finds no abuses of Human Rights of Sikhs much less any minorities in India.” Another person, Shahabuddin, Manmohan Singh’s colleague of the Islamic faith, said the same of Muslims of India. Abuses of Human Rights in the Sikhs’ holy and historic Homeland, Punjab, Khalistan (under the Brahmins-Hindus autocracy’s occupation), have been taking place, since 15th August, 1947. Manmohan Singh’s statement was ‘refuted’ in the strongest possible words by the human rights and peace- loving citizens (delegates) of North America and elsewhere.
Your Excellency, following the execution of “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984, an ‘undeclared’ war on the Sikh Nation, Punjab, was waged by the Indian armed forces, according to Sekhon (2009 ISBN 0-9548929-4-1). During “Operation Bluestar, June 1984”, every village of the Sikhs’ holy and historic homeland, Punjab, was turned into a “Concentration Camp;” ’Open air’ jails were established outside every village of Punjab. These jails were covered by the barbed wires, in the heat of June – August months, when the usual temperatures in Punjab are 47 C or more, had been under the supervision of the Indian armed personnel, were no less than the concentration camps of Adolf Hitler’s times in the Nazi Germany. These ‘open air’ barbed wire concentration camps/jails were used to prison the Sikhs indiscriminately regardless of gender and age. Sanitary facilities were virtually non-existent. This reflects the treatment of Indira Gandhi and her administration of the Brahmins autocracy to the Sikhs.” It has been posted that General JJ Singh, Chief, Indian Army (Former), had been promoted to the highest rank because of his participation in an ‘undeclared’ war in the form of a brutal military “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984, on the Sikhs and their Holy and Historic Homeland, Punjab (www.facebook.com 2nd September, 2013).
In June 1984, the present Chief Minister of Punjab, Prakash Sinh Badal, virtually devoid of maintaining 'law and order', had been one of the instigators to wage an ‘undeclared’ war on the Punjab, the state he has been administrating (see above).
The Right Honorable David Cameron pleaded with the British Sikhs that "forgive Tories" when the declassified documents revealed that that Mrs Thatcher advised Indian government of Indira Gandhi on how to attack a temple (https://www.gov.uk/
Bibi Manjit Kaur Dakha (1992): Manjit Kaur Dakha and her husband sought political asylum in the United States after being tortured by the Indian armed personnel. Mrs. Dakha, her father, and her 6-mo-old daughter (Bhaghel Kaur) were tortured mercilessly, given repeated death threats, and her child was made to sit on a colony of ants by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). The daughter and father were made to beat each other with clubs.
Sardar Surinder Singh Fauji (a retired army personnel), of Fatehabad, Tehsil: Khadur Sahib of Amritsar district of Punjab, has been physically, mentally and psychologically tortured by Punjab police since May 27, 1986. Valuable household articles were stolen by the police personnel from his residence and never returned. Despite his writing to the Prime Minister (PV Rao), Home Minister of India (SB Chawan), Chief Justice, Supreme Court of India, Chief Justice, Punjab and Haryana High court, and the Senior Session Judge, Amritsar, there was no relief from the police excesses.
More than 35 Sikh youth, including Kanwarpal Singh Bittu and Sarbjit Singh Ghuman of the Dal Khalsa, were in police custody. Similarly, Jagtaar Singh Hawara, his wife and other family members are humiliated (by putting cigarettes and tobacco in his mouth), tortured and harassed by the Punjab and Delhi police (www.panthic.org17th July, 2005). Another Sikh leader, Daljit Singh Bittu, President, Panch Pradhani, and thousand of Sikh youth are in jails, without trials and crimes.
A human rights lawyer and prominent Sikh nationalist Harpal Singh Cheema, after spending eight years in a California jail, whom Judge Dana Keener determined Singh did not pose a threat to national security. The Hon judge stopped short of granting him full asylum, but forbade the then-INS from deporting the couple. Indeed, she noted that Singh “is widely perceived as a moderate and a voice for reason (Camille T Tairara, Editor, New America Media, News Feature, Aug 07, 2006). To escape atrocities and persecution during custody of the Indian law-enforcing personnel until 1992, Mr Cheema and his wife sought asylum in the United States in1993 (www.news.ncmonline.com/news/
A mass Grave of Sikhs killed in November 1984 has been discovered after 26 years in village Hondh-Chillar, District Rewari, Haryana. The village was inhabited by several Sikh families. On November 2nd, 1984 in an organized and well planned attack, the entire village was burnt, along with the Sikh population and Gurudwara. The village consisting of torched houses, a burnt Gurudwara and scattered human bones have now been discovered (www.punjabspectrum.com, 17thFebruary, 2011; Giaspur MS 2013 www.facebook.com).
It is learned from highly reliable sources that the CRPF had been maintaining at least four deep pans of boiled oil to kill alive the Sikh youth in Amritsar in the post-undeclared war on the occupied Sikh Nation, under the consent of the then administration of India.
Recently, in the second week of February, 2010, the Punjab police killed 13 youth in Ludhiana district of Punjab, while they were participating in the Birthday celebrations of Shaheed-Bilas Saint-soldier Jarnail Singh Khalsa, Punjab’s political and religious leader (www.punjabspectrum.com, February 21, 2011). According to the Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), the summons against Congress have been issued pursuant to a class action lawsuit filed (SFJ v. Congress (I) SDNY (10 CV 2940)) under Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA) and Torture Victim Protection Act (TVPA). The plaintiffs in the case against Congress (I) are "Sikhs For Justice" (SFJ) a US based human rights group along with several Sikhs from different states and cities of India who survived attacks in November 1984 (3rdMarch, 2011, posted by SFJon many websites). Reported recently (www.facebook.com, 14th March, 2011), large number of Sikhs gathered in Gurudwara at Pandri Kattaiyyan 10 km from Nanakmatta, Pilibhit road and 15 km from Sitarganj. The gurudwara was locked but ransacked and the Holy Scripture of Sikhs, Guru Granth Sahib, was set on fire; whereas, two more copies were torned off by sharp weapons. The majority of farmers in this area is the Sikhs, Musilms and Biharis labourer. A Muslim named Mehadi Hassan (MH) was caught stealing the motor from Gurudawara a couple of days ago. He was handed over to Police. It is reported his involvement along with his some other Muslims, who attacked Gurudwara Sahib, burnt the Holy Scripture and the cut the pages with sharp edged weapons. Temporary Granthi/custodian Narinder Singh also hides the truth as he seems under pressure. It is understood that some Hindu fundamentalists and miscreants are involved to incite MH and his associates to create animosity between the Sikh and Muslim communities of UP and Utrakhand. It has been done before by the Brahmins-Hindus personnel of the Indian Government in the occupied-Jammu and Kashmir during President William J Clinton’s state visit to India. A few weeks earlier in August, 2011 desecration of Sikhs’ Holy Scripture took place in a town in Hoshiarpur district of Punjab. Recently, the Vice Chancellor of the Punjab University, invited Professor of Sikhism Gurtej Singh, to write an invitational article on the ‘Sikh War Code’. Professor Gurtej Singh’s invitational article was ‘rejected’ on the ground that certain changes are required before it was accepted for publication by his university. This is a ‘discrimination’ of Punjab University’s policy against the Sikhs and the highly esteemed Sikh writer and the professor of Sikhism of the international caliber. More than 257,000 Sikh farmers have committed suicide since post-“Operation Bluestar” era in the‘robbed’ PUNJANB, because heavy burdens of the taxes imposed by the administration of Prakash Sinh Badal (Rozana spokesman, 29th February, 2012).
We request you to bring to justice the deceased or living politicians of Indian administrations (Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Chandershekhar, P Chidambaram (now Home Minister of India; one of the members of a 3-men Team in the 'War Room' during an 'undeclared' war on the 'Landless Sikh Nation, ‘robbed’ Punjab' of 15th August, 1947, in June, 1984).
