Of Hindu hate, Jattan di shaan and violence, pro-Khalistan Sikhs are destroying the Sikh neighborhood

When Yograj Singh was given a free run to spew venom towards Hindus and use outrageous language towards girls at one of many farmers’ protest websites in the course of the early days of their Delhi siege, many realised that the driving pressure behind the agitations was not farm-related points, however a deep-seated hatred of a large chunk of Khalistan-proponents towards India, and Hindus. Pussyfooting across the subject will serve no objective. It is of speedy want that whatever-little assist the ridiculous concept of Khalistan has inside Indian Sikhs is addressed. In everything of the piece, I will probably be talking primarily about Indian Sikhs alone. What the diaspora of some anti-India Sikhs (these in overseas nations) do is none of my enterprise. They are neither Indians nor do I think about them Sikhs.Why? Because of the straightforward indisputable fact that these in overseas nations know nothing about India, and have inflated opinions of the nation being no secure place for Sikhs. It is for this very purpose that Khalistanis in nations just like the US, Canada, UK, and Australia take to attacking Indian nationalists on the drop of a hat. During a latest ‘Tiranga and Maple rally’ in Canada’s Brampton, as an illustration, Khalistanis attacked members of the Indian diaspora, telling them to “Go and drink cow’s urine.” TFI just lately reported about how a person got here on a podcast being live-hosted by BBC and slurred Narendra Modi and his mom with abhorrent language. In Australia’s Sydney, previous to the farmers’ agitation even starting, Harris Park witnessed a bloody brawl after a Khalistani sympathiser took to TikTok to publish anti-India movies which had been strongly objected by a Haryanvi, leading to a bloody brawl ending with the principle wrongdoer, Jassi getting gravely injured. The minds of such Sikhs are infested with extremism and Hindu-hatred.So, to hell with some Khalistanis in different nations. Our concern must be Indian Sikhs, who’ve quite a bit to get busy with. There are basic societal faults existent inside the Indian Sikh neighborhood. Let nobody rise up and inform me that I’ve no proper to talk so brazenly about these faults as a result of I’m part of the neighborhood which is presently a sufferer of the narrative being set by a cocktail of extremists, leftists, political forces and naturally, Khalistanis. The ranges of misinformation floating round are astronomical and any layman would fall into the vicious lure if not counselled completely in any other case.Let us discuss some faults inside the Sikh neighborhood, which if not addressed quickly, is not going to get us wherever, and can solely find yourself harming us.Hindu HatredThe robust one goes up for dialogue first. There is not any denying the truth that a small a part of the Sikh neighborhood harbours a seething hatred for the Hindu neighborhood. That these are largely comprised of higher caste people is a topic that will probably be handled a bit later within the piece. With the approaching of PM Modi in 2014, this hatred for India’s majority neighborhood has solely turned extra toxic. Finally, a person got here to energy in Delhi who stood for Hindus, who wore his Sanatan tradition on his sleeve proudly and who has himself up to now claimed to be a ‘Hindu Nationalist’. He gave unvoiced Hindus a voice.Khalistanis went berserk merely seeing visuals of Prime Minister Modi. They nonetheless can not stand the very sight of him. The farmers’ protests had been a chance they simply couldn’t miss. Initiated by left-leaning farmers’ unions of Punjab, the agitation quickly took the flip of by some means defending Sikh id, which, in line with the protestors, the BJP-led Modi authorities is hell-bent on attacking. That no different authorities up to now has labored a fraction of what the Modi authorities has relating to the welfare of Sikhs and propagation of their wonderful historical past is a separate debate altogether.Agriculture and ‘Sikhi’ had been projected as synonymous. That they’re intrinsically linked is one thing which I don’t dispute. But as soon as the non secular angle was experimented by Khalistanis within the early days of the agitation, and turned out to work marvellously, the protests grew to become a free floor for separatists to hijack and spew their venom from. All that the protestors wanted to be advised was that their non secular id, adopted by their livelihoods, had been being attacked by the Modi authorities. Soon, Punjab arose seemingly as one entity to agitate towards the everlasting enemy, that’s Delhi.For Sikhs, Delhi has traditionally been an emblem of subjugation and oppression. From the occasions of the Mughals to as latest as Indira Gandhi’s implantation of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale – Delhi has been on the centre of Sikhs being victimised. But there’s a want for the Sikh neighborhood to understand this – Delhi of unbiased India, and particularly of 2021, is just not your enemy. Hindus are usually not your enemies. Prime Minister Modi is just not your enemy. Unless Sikhs realise this, they are going to hold falling prey to the devious designs of Khalistanis, political events and communists.Jatta Di ShaanAs a thumb rule, I don’t think about any particular person who identifies himself/herself with their caste, whereas additionally proclaiming to be a Sikh, a Sikh. You are both a Jatt or a Sikh. You are both a Mazhabi or a Sikh. There aren’t any gray areas in Sikhi. The mandate on caste may be very clear – for Sikhs, there’s none. So, when Punjabi songs are weaponised with lyrics of Jatt supremacy and are then used to gasoline anger towards the Modi authorities, ‘Dilli’ and Hindus normally – it must be recognized to all that members of 1 sub-community of Sikhs (which has come to exist, sadly) are solely behind the continuing cringe-fest on the borders of the nationwide capital.The subject is just not about farming. The subject is concerning the pleasure of Jatts, and the way they suppose the Modi authorities is strolling throughout it. How dare the federal government take choices on their behalf? A overwhelming majority of these protesting on the borders of Delhi are usually not ‘farmers. They are agricultural landowners, who have in turn employed labourers to till their fields. These are the people who have a nexus with the arthiyas, and are hence, worked up because, in their sweet and comfortable world, there is no place for a third party (read – private players). So, high on religious toxicity and caste supremacism, our Jatt brothers and sisters have come marching to Delhi with their tractors to agitate against a government that is supposedly hell-bent on usurping their lands.Also, notice how all those protesting on the borders of Delhi are Jatts and Jaats. The former is from Punjab and Uttarakhand’s Terai area; the latter, from Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh. A traditional case of potayto-potahto.ViolenceThe farmers misplaced the plot on January 26, after they stormed the nationwide capital and engaged in violence, other than desecrating the Red Fort. Those seen participating in violence too had been largely Sikhs. Before such violence, the protestors had been at the very least being taken significantly. After their present of pointless bravado, nevertheless, they diminished themselves right into a joke. And what, pray inform, did the perimeter inside my neighborhood obtain by hoisting the Nishaan Sahib on the Red Fort? What has modified? Are we abruptly underneath a Khalsa Raj? If not, why was such a silly deed performed within the first place, which has solely created divisions between the protesters (largely Sikhs) and nationalists, when in reality, Sikhs themselves are speculated to be, and a majority nonetheless is, among the many most nationalistic of communities in India?I’ve spoken beforehand too, about how Sikhs have to calm down and take a chill. These are usually not the occasions of the Mughals, and neither do we have now to battle the Afghans at midnight. We reside in a democracy, through which violence has no place. It could be in one of the best curiosity of those that are ever-charged to pounce on nearly anyone with their kirpans to start out behaving themselves, and never do a whole neighborhood a disservice. Those kirpans are holy – meant to be raised just for the aim of mercy. They are usually not for use for reducing the arms and legs of Indian cops. Those who do wish to proceed down that path nonetheless, ought to procure Made in China swords and knives for themselves, and quit their kirpans. It is a painful sight to observe when the kirpans are used to assault harmless individuals, for no fault of theirs.Not a battle of existenceAs part of the neighborhood, I realise that there’s this large peer stress of types on fellow Sikhs to face in assist of the farmers protesting on the borders of Delhi. Whether they need to assist them or not is an informed alternative for them to make. However, the necessity of the hour is to name out, establish and punish the perimeter inside our neighborhood. The new farm reforms are usually not an existential disaster. None of the Sikhs I’ve personally interacted with know a rattling factor concerning the farm reforms. All they know is that Modi is a proud Hindu and a foul man trying to assault Sikhs. This is a suicidal strategy and can get us nowhere.The time of playing around is over. The winters are over. Harvest season is approaching. Let us not be fooled by some vested curiosity teams and make a mockery out of ourselves. I’ve recognized Hindus and Sikhs to be one. We go to Gurdwaras as a lot as we go to Mandirs. We have fun Gurpurabs with as a lot enthusiasm as we observe Navratri. No extremist must be allowed to inform us that we’re completely different. The onus lies on us to name out radical components and Khalistanis inside the neighborhood. If we don’t, we may have no person however ourselves guilty for the weakening of the Sikh id.
