Watch this video, see what victims have to say on the live scene!


BREAKING NEWS:
Racist mobs rampage through Tilak Vhar Genocide colony on India's Independence Day..attacking Sikhs and Sikh owned businesses.

- Media blackout in West Delhi's nearby affected areas.
- News Channels are not covering this incident.

22 Sikhs have been inured badly and 8 out of them had gunshots fired upon them, gunshot victims were all sikhs, 4 of them are in serious condition. 2 Sikhs have been shot on their hands, 1 on neck, 1 on pelvic area(severe condition). Their are reports from eye witnesses that Police came into the scene after Sikhs retaliated to save the local area's Gurudwara place, when Sikhs were being attacked, Police did nothing to stop the Mob. Tilak Vihar is the Genocide colony of the victims of the 1984 Anti-Sikh Massacre.
Why would they attack INNOCENT Sikhs on India's independence day?
Probably to REMIND them ...its NOT YOUR INDEPENDENCE DAY!!

Many victims do not have sufficient money to afford their treatment and transportation to the hospitals and according to the reports, Seva84 and other groups have already started helping them. God bless them!

Sikhs should keep one thing in mind, there is no mercy for them in this so called Democratic country, India and they should not expect any good here.

Balwant Singh Rajoana's Letter to Captain Amarinder on Rejecting Blue Star Memorial

Amarinder rejects Blue Star Memorial, Terms Rajoana a 'murderer'

Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana's letter dated 09-06-2012 to Amarinder Singh on his statement against the victims and shaheeds of 1984 Sikh Genocide.

Letter Date: 9th June 2012

Original Statement by Captain Amarinder was published on 5th June 2012.

Chandigarh, June 5
Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee President Capt Amarinder Singh who had maintained silence till now on the Memorial of Martyrs being set up in the shape of a Gurudwara within the complex of Sri Darbar Sahib at Amritsar, today said it was completely wrong to set up Operation Bluestar Memorial as it was not going to help the state in anyway.

The former Chief Minister and the PCC president who had advocated for commuting the death sentence of Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana, today condemned the attempts to glorify Balwant Singh Rajoana convicted of murdering former Chief Minister S Beant Singh.

Amarinder's views on these two crucial issues assume significance as these have come just a few hours before the Sikh Panth is due to observe Ghallughara Divas as remembrance of Operation Blue Star, which happened on June 6, 1984.

Replying to a question on the issue during a press conference at Amritsar today, Capt Amarinder maintained that Punjab cannot afford such things, like the Bluestar Memorial, as last three decades had only seen the state’s economic decline.

He said, setting up such memorials do not send the right signals. “We must look forward”, he remarked.

The PCC President questioned the attempts of glorifying Rajoana, saying, “he (Rajoana) is a murderer who had murdered our Chief Minister”.

At the same time Capt Amarinder clarified that he had only opposed the death penalty to Rajoana since he was against the capital punishment to anyone.He said,he had suggested converting Rajoana’s punishment from death to life imprisonment which meant that for the whole life he should remain behind the bars.

6th June 1984

6th June 1984: Continuing on from the night of the 5th June, moving into the early hours of the 6th June, the battle increased in ferocity. According to General K.S. Brar, on June 6, around 4-30 a.m., thirty soldiers managed to get into the Akal Takhat, the 'Immortal Throne' which represents the highest seat of Sikh spiritual and political sovereignty. The fighting in the early hours of the morning of the 6th was ferocious, and eyewitnesses including soldiers and General K.S. Brar, testify that although desperately outnumbered the Sikh Fighters fought bravely and “to the last man.”

The army ordered their tanks to fire upon the Akaal Takhat and due to the repeated explosions, the Akaal Takhat was reduced to rubble and the Sikh fighters inside died defending it.

“Photographs of the shattered shrine indicate quite clearly that the Vijayantas 105 mm main armaments pumped high-explosive squash-head shells into the Akal Takht. Those shells were designed for use against hard targets like armour and fortifications. When the shells hit their targets, their heads spread or squash on to the hard surface. Their fuses are arranged to allow a short delay between the impact and the shells igniting, so that a shock-wave passes through the target. Lieutenant-General Jagjit Singh Aurora, who studied the front of the Akal Takht before it was repaired, reckoned that as many as eighty of these lethal shells, could have been fired into the shrine.

“Grenades and poisonous gas shells were thrown at the men, women and children, who had locked themselves in the rooms, bathrooms and toilets of Guru Nanak Niwas, Guru Ram Das serai and Taja Singh Samundri Hall. Those who tried to come out were pierced with bayonets and shot dead. Some soldiers caught hold of small babies and children by their feet, lifted them up in the air and then smashed them against the walls and thus breaking their skulls.”
Harvinder Kaur; Blue Star Over Amritsar (Delhi, 1990)

”It was a virtual massacre. A large number of women, children and pilgrims were gunned down.” As reported by The Guardian on 13th June 1984.


7th June 1984: When the religious scriptures were burnt to ashes!


8th June 1984

8th June: Refusal to Provide Aid to Wounded Pilgrims:

Many accounts of Operation Bluestar, including the SGPC's White Paper on the Punjab Problem, relate that the Red Cross was refused permission to enter the Temple complex and the wounded were left to suffer for days. Many people died of dehydration as they were refused water.

Bhan Singh told the members of the Citizens For Democracy team: "They [the Army] treated the inmates of the complex as enemies and whenever there was any person wounded on account of the firing, no Red Cross people were allowed to enter, rather the Red Cross personnel had been detained beyond Jallianwalla Bagh" more than a kilometre away from the main entrance to the Golden Temple from the Chowk Ghanta Ghar side.

The CFD report, 'Oppression in Punjab' remarks: In accordance with the UN Charter of Human Rights, the Red Cross is permitted to go in aid of the wounded right inside the enemy territory, but in Amritsar in June, 1984, the Red Cross was not allowed to enter the Golden Temple - a respected and hallowed part of our country - in aid of Indians under attack from the Indian Army. It only means that the attack was so brutal and the battle scene so grisly, that there was much to hide from public scrutiny, even if it be that of a neutral agency called the Red Cross. This also explains perhaps why Press censorship had already been imposed, the last of the journalists were hounded away and the Press was not allowed to go inside the Golden Temple up to June 10, when they were taken on a guided tour of the complex for the first time since the Army operation began almost a week before.

The Christian Science Monitor reported on the 8th June 1984:

"On Saturday, medical workers in Amritsar said soldiers had threatened to shoot them if they gave food or water to Sikh pilgrims wounded in the attack and lying in the hospital"

The Indian Government maintains that the attack on the Golden Temple (Sri Darbar Sahib) was launched in order to remove terrorists from the complex. In addition to the various facts covered in the previous write ups, including the lack of arrest warrant etc, which contradict this, is the fact that up to 75,000 Indian Army troops were deployed in Punjab. This figure is mind boggling, why would the Indian Army require tens of thousands of troops to arrest or kill 2-300 Sikhs?

The following quote is from an Indian Army circular which was distributed in June 1984. It reveals the true targets of the military operation:

"Some of our innocent countrymen were administered an oath in the name of religion to support extremists and actively participated in the act of terrorism. These people wear a miniature kirpan round their neck and are called "Amritdharis". They have to be subdued to achieve the final aim of restoring peace in the country. Any knowledge of the "Amritdharis" who are dangerous people and pledged to commit murder, arson and acts of terrorism should be immediately brought to the notice of the authorities. These people may appear harmless from outside but they are basically committed to terrorism."

This excerpt from the official document exposes that in fact all practicing Sikhs were considered terrorists and were targeted by the government.

The Golden Temple was not the only Gurdwara that was targeted:

"The army and police have also taken over 38 temples and other Sikh religious buildings throughout Punjab".
The Guardian - Thursday 7th June 1984

"According to reports from Patiala Hospital, over 50 people were killed at Gurdwara Dukh Niwaran.
Amritsar: Mrs. Gandhi's Last Battle , Tully, Mark and Jacob, (New Delhi,1985).

An article that was published in India Today (30/9/84) details the most vulnerable of the 18,000 "suspected terrorists" arrested in June 1984 and detained in maximum security prisons:

"These were the other victims of Operation Bluestar, little children, some only two years old, who got rounded up. Since then, 39 children have been languishing in two Ludhiana jails. The youngest of these children, Jasbir Kaur, is only two years old, her sister Charanjit Kaur is four, and her brothers, Harinder and Balwinder, are six and twelve.

There is four-year old Rinku whose father died during the army operation and whose mother has been missing since. Like the rest of the 'infant terrorists', Rinku had to go through gruelling interrogation. When asked where his mother was he replied, "I don't know". Asked where his father was, he said, "Killed with a gun". Why his stomach was so big; "Because I eat clay".

Their ordeal began in early June when they were picked up around the Temple and packed into camps in Amritsar and Jalandhar. Two central agencies, the Central Bureau of lnvestigation (CBI) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) began their questioning. There were long, intimidating sessions. The children cried and begged to be sent home. But it went on for days. Their little finger prints were taken and IB sleuths set about verifying their bonafides. One interrogating officer admitted that officials were not moved by the children's cries.

Sadly enough, in their interrogations, the CBI and IB have shown little regard to any civil liberties or laws protecting young children. "These are all fine ideas for newspapers and preachers.We had on our hands suspected terrorists and would be terrorists" confessed a CBI officer.Their fate depends upon the Supreme Court, which takes up the case this fortnight. Meanwhile 39 little beings continue to pray for freedom every day.

According to two of the "terrorists" they mistreated while in prison;

Mehrban Singh, aged twelve, said, 'We were repeatedly asked if we were Bhindranwale's men. They hit us at Ludhiana jail, and thrust fingers into our necks, wanting us to confess."

Shamsher Singh, aged eleven, confirmed the bizarre interrogation about Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, and that they were "regularly beaten in jail"


9th June 1984


9th June 1984: After the Sikh resistance had been overcome, only a few snipers remained. Following the execution of pilgrims, immediately after the main battle, those that survived were rounded up, detained by the Army and charged as terrorists:

"379 of the alleged 'most dangerous terrorists' were forced to sign a common confessional statement and thereafter served a common charge sheet that they were all Bhindranwale's closest associates and comrades-in-arms engaged in 'waging war against the State'. They were, therefore, detained under the NSA and are now being tried at Jodhpur under the Terrorist-Affected Areas (Special Courts) Act of 1984. As we were curious regarding the extent of danger these hardcore 'terrorists' posed to the State 'with the intention to establish a State independent from the Government of India to be known as Khalistan", we visited the homes of some of the Jodhpur detainees and met their families or relatives.

The evidence collected established beyond doubt that none of the Jodhpur detainees we succeeded in profiling are 'terrorists' but rather all of them are completely innocent, ordinary persons, whose only crime was that they had all gone to or were coming from the Golden Temple as devotees or pilgrims visiting the Golden Temple for the Guru Purab on June 3, 1984 or farmers gone to the Temple to deliver village donations of grain to the S.G.P.C. or students gone to pay obeisance at their holiest religious shrine, the Harmandir Sahib." Source; Citizens for Democracy; Report to the Nation: Oppression in Punjab (Bombay, 1985).

These detainees were detained for up to 5 years, before in the face of worldwide condemnation and protest they were finally released.

CBI Says Sajjan Kumar And Others Guilty - 1984 Delhi Sikhs Genocide

According to the latest report in 1984 Sikhs genocide, CBI has now stated that Sajjan Kumar and some others who are facing the case, were behind the mass killings of Sikhs in New Delhi. They were backed by the ruling party and no case of murder was filed in those days by Police. Witnesses have clearly stated that Sajjan Kumar was addressing his team that "Koi bhi sikh zinda nahi bachna chahiye aur jo unko bachane ki koshish kare, esko bhi jaan se maar do" means do not leave any sikh, they all should be murdered and whosoever helps them, should also be killed.

Bhai Rajoana VS Fansi - Great Song by Mankirt Aulakh

Sikh's Flag Color is Blue not Saffron or Yellow

Sikh national flag is BLUE colour, kesri has come from Rajputs, Bhagwa from Udasis and Pink-bhagwa from Nirmalas. Khalsa Nishan Sahib has been preserved by Nihangs since Guru Gobind Singh, Bhagwa. Kesri/yellow was Udasi flag which had been stalled by Udasi Pritam das in Jhanda Bunga (where it is now it was Pritam das's Bunga). Foolish Sikhs adopted kesri/bhagwa/yellow colour of the Hindus. Nihangs had the flag since the Guru, during Ranjit Singh's period and during the British too. They could not be affected by Brahmin-Udasi-Nirmala impact.

History:ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਦਾ ਰੰਗ: ਨੀਲਾ ਕਿ ਕੇਸਰੀ/ਪੀਲਾ/ਭਗਵਾ/ਬਸੰਤੀ

ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੇ ਸਮੇਂ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਦੇ ਝੰਡੇ ਰੰਗ (ਤੇ ਕੇਸਕੀ ਦਾ ਰੰਗ ਵੀ) ਨੀਲਾ ਸੀ। ਜਦੋਂ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨੇ ਅਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਵਿਖੇ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਕੀਤਾ, ਤਾਂ ਉਦੋਂ ਵੀ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਵੀ ਪੰਜ ਪਿਆਰਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਨੀਲੇ ਬਸਤਰ ਪੁਆਏ ਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਆਪ ਵੀ ਪਹਿਣੇ ਸਨ (ਵੇਖੋ ਹੇਠਾਂ *¹ ਵਾਲਾ ਨੁਕਤਾ)। 16 ਜਨਵਰੀ 1704 ਨੂੰ ਜਦ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨੇ 'ਫੱਰਰਾ' ਦੀ ਰਿਵਾਇਤ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕੀਤੀ ਤਾਂ ਵੀ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਨੀਲਾ 'ਫੱਰਰਾ' ਹੀ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕੀਤਾ ਸੀ (ਵੇਖੋ ਹੇਠਾਂ *² ਵਾਲਾ ਨੁਕਤਾ)।

ਭਾਵੇ ਸਿੱਖ ਲਈ ਕਿਸੇ ਰੰਗ ਦੀ ਵਰਤੋਂ ਦੀ ਕੋਈ ਪਾਬੰਦੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਕਿਸੇ ਵੀ ਰੰਗ ਦੀ ਕੋਈ ਵੀ ਚੀਜ਼ ਵਰਤ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ। ਉਂਞ ਨੀਲਾ ਰੰਗ ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬਾਨ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਵਧੇਰੇ ਵਰਤਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ, ਖਾਸ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਵੱਲੋਂ। ਸਿੱਖ ਲਿਟਰੇਚਰ ਵਿਚ, ਪ੍ਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਨੂੰ ਨੀਲੇ ਕੱਪੜਿਆਂ ਵਾਲਾ ਪੇਸ਼ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਆਸਮਾਨ ਅਤੇ ਸਮੁੰਦਰ ਦੋਵੇਂ ਹੀ ਡੂੰਘਾਈ/ਗਹਿਰਾਈ ਕਾਰਨ ਨੀਲੇ ਦਿਸਦੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਡੂੰਘਾਈ ਨੂੰ ਆਮ ਤੌਰ ਤੇ ਰੱਬ ਦੇ ਚਿੰਨ੍ਹ (ਸ਼ੇਮਬੋਲ) ਵਜੋਂ ਪੇਸ਼ ਕੀਤਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।

ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਵਿਚ ‘ਨੀਲ ਬਸਤਰ’ ਦਾ ਜ਼ਿਕਰ ਵੀ ਆਉਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਨੀਲ ਬਸਤਰ ਦਾ ਲਫ਼ਜ਼ੀ ਮਾਅਨਾ ਹੈ: ਰੰਗਦਾਰ ਕੱਪੜੇ। ਇਸ ਦਾ ਮਤਲਬ ਨੀਲੇ ਰੰਗ ਦੇ ਕਪੜੇ ਨਹੀਂ, ਬਲਕਿ ਕਿਸੇ ਵੀ ਰੰਗ ਦੇ ਕਪੜੇ ਹੈ। (ਵੇਖੋ: ਡਾ: ਗੁਲਵੰਤ ਸਿੰਘ, ਫ਼ਾਰਸੀ-ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਕੋਸ਼)। ਅਸਲ ਵਿਚ, ਹਰਾ ਰੰਗ (ਨੀਲਾ ਨਹੀਂ), ਮੁਸਲਮਾਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਕੌਮੀ/ਧਾਰਮਿਕ ਰੰਗ ਮੰਨਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। 'ਆਸਾ ਦੀ ਵਾਰ' ਵਿਚ ਜਿਹੜਾ 'ਨੀਲ ਵਸਤ੍ਰ ਪਹਿਰਿ ਹੋਵਹਿ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ...' ਦਾ ਜ਼ਿਕਰ ਹੈ ਉਹ ਨੀਲੇ ਰੰਗ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਬਲਕਿ ਮੁਸਲਿਮ ਨੀਲ ਪਹਿਰਾਵੇ (ਹਰੇ ਰੰਗ ਦੇ) ਵਾਸਤੇ ਹੈ।

ਹੁਣ ਉੱਪਰ ਜ਼ਿਕਰ ਕੀਤੇ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ (ਝੰਡੇ) ਅਤੇ ਫੱਰਰੇ/ਦਸਤਾਰ ਦੇ ਰੰਗ ਵੱਲ ਆਉਂਦਾ ਹਾਂ:

*¹ ਜੋ ਕਪੜੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਅਤੇ ਪੰਜ ਪਿਆਰਿਆਂ ਨੇ ਅਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਵਿਖੇ ਪਹਿਲੀ ਖੰਡੇ ਦੀ ਪਾਹੁਲ ਦੀ ਰਸਮ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰਨ ਵੇਲੇ ਪਾਏ ਸਨ, ਉਹ ਨੀਲੇ ਸਨ।

ਭੱਟ ਵਹੀ ਭਾਦਸੋਂ ਪਰਗਣਾ ਥਾਨੇਸਰ ਵਿਚ ‘ਖੰਡੇ ਦੀ ਪਾਹੁਲ’ ਦੇਣ ਦਾ ਦ੍ਰਿਸ਼ ਸਾਫ਼ ਲਫ਼ਜ਼ਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਇੰਞ ਪੇਸ਼ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਮਿਲਦਾ ਹੈ:

“ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਮਹਲ ਦਸਮਾ, ਬੇਟਾ ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇਗ ਬਹਾਦਰ ਜੀ ਕਾ, ਸਾਲ ਸਤਰਾਂ ਸੈ ਪਚਾਵਨ ਮੰਗਲਵਾਰ ਵੈਸਾਖੀ ਕੇ ਦਿਹੁੰ ਪਾਂਚ ਸਿਖੋਂ ਕੋ ਖਾਂਡੇ ਕੀ ਪਾਹੁਲ ਦੀ, ਸਿੰਘ ਨਾਮ ਰਾਖਾ। ਪ੍ਰਿਥਮੈ ਦੈਆਰਾਮ ਸੋਪਤੀ ਖਤਰੀ ਬਾਸੀ ਲਾਹੌਰ ਖਲਾ ਹੂਆ, ਪਾਛੇ ਮੋਹਕਮ ਚੰਦ ਛੀਪਾ ਬਾਸੀ ਦਵਾਰਕਾ, ਸਾਹਿਬ ਚੰਦ ਨਾਈ ਬਾਸੀ ਬਿਦਰ ਜਫਰਾਬਾਦ, ਧਰਮ ਚੰਦ ਜਵੰਦਾ ਜਾਟ ਬਾਸੀ ਹਸਤਨਾਪੁਰ, ਹਿੰਮਤ ਚੰਦ ਝੀਵਰ ਬਾਸੀ ਜਗਨਨਾਥ ਬਾਰੋ ਬਾਰੀ ਖਲੇ ਹੂਏ, ਸਬ ਕੋ ਨੀਲ ਅੰਬਰ ਪਹਿਨਾਇਆ। ਵਹੀ ਵੇਸ ਅਪਨਾ ਕੀਆ।”

(ਭੱਟ ਵਹੀ ਭਾਦਸੋਂ ਪਰਗਣਾ ਥਾਨੇਸਰ, 1699 ਦੀ ਲਿਖਤ)

“ਇਨ ਪਾਂਚੋਂ ਕੋ ਪਾਂਚ ਪਾਂਚ ਕਕਾਰ ਦੀਨੇ। ਨੀਲੇ ਰਾਂਗ ਕੀਆਂ ਦੂਹਰੀਆਂ ਦਸਤਾਰਾਂ ਸਜਾਇ ਤਿਆਰ ਕੀਆ ਗਿਆ।” (ਗੁਰੂ ਕੀਆਂ ਸਾਖੀਆਂ, ਸਾਖੀ ਨੰਬਰ 58, 1780 ਦੀ ਲਿਖਤ)।

“ਮਹਾਂਕਾਲ ਕਾ ਬਾਣਾ ਨੀਲਾ ਪਹਿਰਾਵਣਾ। ਕਰਨਾ ਜੁਧ ਨਾਲ ਤੁਰਕਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਰਕਾਂ ਕੋ ਮਾਰ ਹਟਾਵਣਾ।293॥” (ਕੇਸਰ ਸਿੰਘ ਛਿਬਰ, ਬੰਸਾਵਲੀਨਾਮਾ ਦਸਾਂ ਪਾਤਸਾਹੀਆਂ ਕਾ, ਬੰਦ 293, 1769 ਦੀ ਲਿਖਤ)।

“ਨਵਤਨ ਪੰਥ ਮਰਿਯਾਦ ਕਰ, ਕਰੈਂ ਕਲਕੀ ਧਰਮ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ। ਸੀਸ ਕੇਸ ਨੀਲਾਂਬਰੀ, ਸਿੰਘ ਸੰਗਿਆ ਤੇਜ ਨਿਵਾਸ।” (ਸਰੂਪ ਚੰਦ ਭੱਲਾ, ਮਹਿਮਾ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼, 1776 ਦੀ ਲਿਖਤ)।

*² ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੇ ਸਮੇਂ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ (ਝੰਡੇ) ਦਾ ਰੰਗ ਵੀ ਨੀਲਾ ਸੀ ਤੇ ਇਸ ਦਾ ਪੁਸ਼ਾਕਾ (ਬਾਂਸ ਦਾ ਕਪੜਾ) ਸੁਰਮਈ ਸੀ: “ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਨੇ ਉਸੀ ਵਕਤ ਬੜੀ ਦਸਤਾਰ*³ ਕੋ ਉਤਾਰ ਨੀਚੇ ਕੇਸਗੀ ਮੇਂ ਸੇ ਨੀਲੇ ਰਾਂਗ ਕਾ ਫਰਰਾ ਨਿਕਾਲ ਕੇ ਬਚਨ ਕੀਆ ਇਹ ਖਾਲਸਾਈ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਕਭੀ ਆਗੇ ਸੇ ਟੂਟੇਗਾ ਨਹੀਂ।” (ਗੁਰੂ ਕੀਆਂ ਸਾਖੀਆਂ, ਸਾਖੀ 75)।

*³ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੀ ਵੱਡੀ ਦਸਤਾਰ ਸੁਰਮਈ ਰੰਗ ਦੀ ਸੀ। ਸਾਰੇ ਸਿੱਖ ਸੁਰਮਈ ਦਸਤਾਰਾਂ ਸਜਾਉਂਦੇ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਸਨ।

1723 ਵਿਚ ਅਕਾਲ ਪੁਰਖੀਆਂ ਤੇ ਬੰਦਈਆਂ (ਅਖੌਤੀ ਤੱਤ ਖਾਲਸਾ ਤੇ ਬੰਦਈ ਖਾਲਸਾ) ਵਿਚ ਝਗੜਾ ਬਹੁਤ ਵਧ ਗਿਆ। ਬੰਦਈ ਆਗੂ ਅਮਰ ਸਿੰਘ ਕੰਬੋਜ ਨੇ ਨੀਲਾ ਰੰਗ ਛੱਡ ਕੇ ਲਾਲ ਕਪੜੇ ਪਹਿਣਨਾ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰਵਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਸੀ:

“ਨੀਲਾ ਬੰਦ ਕਰਾਇਆ ਅੰਬਰ ਪਹਿਣਨਾ।

ਸੂਹਾ ਅੰਗ ਲਗਾਇਆ ਇਸ ਦੇ ਸੇਵਕਾਂ।” (ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਬਿਲਾਸ, ਬੰਦ 143)।



ਜਦੋਂ ਭਾਈ ਮਨੀ ਸਿੰਘ ਨੇ ‘ਅਕਾਲ ਪੁਰਖੀਆਂ’ ਤੇ ‘ਬੰਦਈਆਂ’ (ਅਖੌਤੀ ਤੱਤ ਖਾਲਾਸਾ ਤੇ ਬੰਦਈ ਖਾਲਸਾ) ਦਾ ਝਗੜਾ ਹੱਲ ਕਰਵਾਇਆ ਤਾਂ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਬੰਦਈਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਦੋਬਾਰਾ ਨੀਲੇ ਰੰਗ ਦੇ ਕਪੜੇ ਪਹਿਣਾਏ:

“ਝਟਕਾ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਸੂਰ ਕਾ, ਮਨੀ ਸਿੰਘ ਮੰਗਵਾਇ।

ਸੰਗਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਥੀਂ ਆਦਿ ਲੈ, ਬੰਦੀਅਨ ਦਿਓ ਛਕਾਇ।150॥

ਲਾਇ ਤਨਖ਼ਾਹ ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ੇ ਸਭੀ, ਨੀਲੰਬਰ ਪਹਿਣਾਏ।

ਭਰਮ ਭੇਦ ਸਭ ਮਿਟ ਗਯੋ, ਭਈ ਏਕਤਾ ਆਇ।151॥

(ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਬਿਲਾਸ, ਬੰਦ 150-51)।

ਭਾਈ ਮਨੀ ਸਿੰਘ ਬਾਰੇ ਜ਼ਿਕਰ ਹੈ:

“ਸਾਜ ਦੁਮਾਲਾ, ਸ਼ਸਤਰ ਪਹਿਰੈ।

ਨੀਲੰਬਰ, ਗਜ ਸਵਾ ਕਛਹਿਰੇ।” (ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਬਿਲਾਸ, ਬੰਦ 185)


ਗੁਰਦਾਸ ਸਿੰਘ (ਜਿਸ ਦੀ ਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਕੁਝ ਲੋਕ ਭੁਲੇਖੇ ਵਿਚ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰਦਾਸ ਸਮਝਦੇ ਰਹੇ ਸਨ) ਦੀ ਵਾਰ, ਜੋ ਭਾਈ ਵੀਰ ਸਿੰਘ ਨੇ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰਦਾਸ ਦੀਆਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਵਾਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ 41ਵੀਂ ਵਾਰ ਵਜੋਂ ਛਾਪੀ ਸੀ, ਉਸ ਵਿਚ ਵੀ (ਵੇਖੋ: ਵਾਰਾਂ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰਦਾਸ, ਸਫ਼ਾ 641) ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਵੱਲੋਂ ‘ਖੰਡੇ ਦੀ ਪਾਹੁਲ’ ਦੇਣ ਸਮੇਂ ਨੀਲੇ ਬਸਤਰ ਪਹਿਣਨ ਬਾਰੇ ਸਾਫ਼ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਹੈ:

ਜਬ ਸਹਿਜੇ ਪ੍ਰਗਟਿਓ ਜਗਤ ਮੈਂ ਗੁਰੁ ਜਾਪ ਅਪਾਰਾ।

ਯੌਂ ਉਪਜੇ ਸਿੰਘ ਭੁਜੰਗੀਏ ਨੀਲੰਬਰ ਧਾਰਾ। (ਪਉੜੀ 15)

ਫਰ, ਹੁਣ, ‘ਖੰਡੇ ਦੀ ਪਾਹੁਲ’ ਦੇਣ ਵਾਲੇ ‘ਪੰਜ ਪਿਆਰਿਆਂ’ ਅਤੇ ਜਲੂਸਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਅੱਗੇ ਚੱਲਣ ਵਾਲੇ, ਨੰਗੀਆਂ ਕਿਰਪਾਨਾਂ ਤੇ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬਾਂ ਵਾਲੇ ਪੰਜ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਦੇ ਕਪੜਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਰੰਗ ਨੀਲੇ ਦੀ ਥਾਂ ’ਤੇ ਉਦਾਸੀਆਂ, ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣਾਂ ਵਾਲਾ ਰੰਗ ਪੀਲਾ/ਕੇਸਰੀ/ਭਗਵਾ/ਬਸੰਤੀ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਲੋਕ ਗੁਰੂ ਦਾ ਨੀਲੰਬਰ ਰੰਗ ਭੁੱਲ ਗਏ ਹਨ।



ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨੀਲੇ ਤੋਂ ਪੀਲਾ/ਕੇਸਰੀ/ਭਗਵਾ/ਬਸੰਤੀ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਬਣਿਆ:

ਮਹਾਰਾਜਾ ਰਣਜੀਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਵੇਲੇ ਅਕਾਲ ਤਖ਼ਤ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਅਤੇ ਦਰਬਾਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੇ ਵਿਚਕਾਰ ਮਹੰਤ ਸੰਤੋਖ ਦਾਸ 'ਉਦਾਸੀ' ਦਾ ਬੁੰਗਾ ਸੀ, ਜਿਸ ਦੇ ਬਾਹਰ ਉਸ ਦਾ 'ਉਦਾਸੀ' ਮੱਤ ਦਾ ਝੰਡਾ ਖੜ੍ਹਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਸੀ। ਇਕ ਵਾਰ ਇਹ ਝੰਡਾ ਟੁੱਟ ਕੇ ਡਿੱਗ ਪਿਆ। ਉਨ੍ਹੀਂ ਦਿਨੀਂ ਕੰਵਰ ਨੌਨਿਹਾਲ ਸਿੰਘ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਸਰ ਆਇਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਸੀ। ਉਸ ਨੇ ਝੰਡਾ ਡਿੱਗਾ ਪਿਆ ਵੇਖ ਕੇ ਨਵਾਂ ਪੱਕਾ ਝੰਡਾ ਬਣਵਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਮਗਰੋਂ ਇਸ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਇਕ ਹੋਰ ਝੰਡਾ ਖੜਾ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਗਿਆ (ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਕੁਝ ਸਿੱਖ ਮੀਰੀ-ਪੀਰੀ ਦੇ ਦੋ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਕਹਿਣ ਲਗ ਪਏ)। ਜਦੋਂ ਸਿੱਖ ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਪ੍ਰਬੰਧ ਉਦਾਸੀ ਮਹੰਤਾਂ (1859-1920) ਦੇ ਹੱਥ ਵਿਚ ਸੀ ਤਾਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਮਹੰਤਾਂ ਨੇ ਝੰਡੇ ਬੁੰਗੇ ਵਾਲੇ ਝੰਡੇ ਦਾ ਰੰਗ, ਉਦਾਸੀਆਂ ਵਾਲਾ ਹੀ ਰਹਿਣ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਸੀ।

ਜਦੋਂ 1920-25 ਵਿਚ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਨੇ ਉਦਾਸੀਆਂ ਕੋਲੋਂ ਅਤੇ ਹੋਰਨਾਂ ਮਹੰਤਾਂ ਕੋਲੋਂ ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਕਬਜ਼ਾ ਛੁਡਵਾਇਆ ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਿਆਂ ਵਿਚ ਪ੍ਰਚਲਤ ਕਈ ਅਸਿੱਖ ਕਾਰਵਾਈਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਬੰਦ ਕਰਨਾ ਭੁੱਲ ਗਏ ਸਨ। ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦਾ ਉਦਾਸੀਆਂ ਵਾਲਾ ਰੰਗ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਅਸਿੱਖ ਕਾਰਵਾਈਆਂ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਇਕ ਸੀ। ਉਦਾਸੀ ਮਹੰਤਾਂ ਨੇ ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਿਆਂ 'ਤੇ ਉਦਾਸੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਭਗਵੇ/ਪੀਲੇ ਝੰਡੇ ਲਾਏ ਹੋਏ ਸਨ। ਅਕਾਲੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰੇ ਤਾਂ ਆਜ਼ਾਦ ਕਰਵਾ ਲਏ ਪਰ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਝੰਡੇ ਉਤਾਰ ਕੇ ਖਾਲਸਾਈ ਝੰਡੇ ਲਾਉਣਾ ਭੁੱਲ ਗਏ। ਇਸੇ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਬਹੁਤੇ ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਿਆਂ 'ਤੇ ਅੱਜ ਵੀ ਉਦਾਸੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਪੀਲੇ, ਬਸੰਤੀ, ਭਗਵੇ ਝੰਡੇ ਝੁੱਲ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ, ਪਰ ਨਿਹੰਗਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਛਾਉਣੀਆਂ ’ਤੇ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਝੂਲਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਛਾਉਣੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਕਬਜ਼ੇ ਹੇਠਲੇ ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਿਆਂ ’ਤੇ ਉਦਾਸੀਆਂ ਦਾ ਕਬਜ਼ਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ ਤੇ ਉੱਥੇ ਸਿੱਖੀ ਦਾ ਖਾਲਸ ਰੰਗ ਕਾਇਮ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ।

ਹੁਣ ਬੇਸਮਝ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਨੇ ਵੀ ਪੀਲੇ/ਭਗਵੇ/ਕੇਸਰੀ ਰੰਗ ਨੂੰ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਕਿ ਸਿੱਖ-ਰੰਗ ਵਜੋਂ ਮਨਜ਼ੂਰ ਕਰ ਲਿਆ ਜਾਪਦਾ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਕਿ ਗ਼ਲਤ ਹੈ। ਨਿਹੰਗ, ਜੋ ਕਿ ਸਿੱਖ ਕੌਮ ਦੇ ਝੰਡਾ ਫੜ ਕੇ ਜੰਗਾਂ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਅੱਗੇ ਚਲਿਆ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ (ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨਚੀ) ਸਨ, ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦਾ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੇ ਵੇਲੇ ਦਾ ਨੀਲਾ ਰੰਗ ਅਜ ਤਕ ਕਾਇਮ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਹੈ।

ਵਧੇਰੇ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਵੇਖੋ: ਇਸੇ ਲੇਖਕ ਦੀਆਂ ਕਿਤਾਬਾਂ ਦ ਸਿੱਖ ਕਲਚਰ (ਅੰਗ੍ਰੇਜ਼ੀ), ਅਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਤੇ ਅੰਗ੍ਰੇਜ਼ੀ), ਗਿਆਨੀ ਗਰਜਾ ਸਿੰਘ ਸੰਪਾਦਤ ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਬਿਲਾਸ, ਪਿਆਰਾ ਸਿੰਘ ਪਦਮ ਸੰਪਾਦਤ ਗੁਰੂ ਕੀਆਂ ਸਾਖੀਆਂ।

CHANDIGARH, Punjab (March 13, 2012)–On March 31st, another Sikh political prisoner will be executed at the hands of the India Government. Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana, who is currently lodged in the Patiala Jail, is serving a sentence for his involvement in the execution of then Chief Minister, Beant Sinh outside the Punjab secretariat in 1995. Although his death sentence was capable of appeal, Bhai Rajoana instead willingly expressed his desire to be put to death instead of showing any faith in the widely acknowledged to be corrupt Indian justice system.

CASE DETAILS: Although Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana has confessed his involvement in the assassination, it is most important to note that Beant Sinh was responsible for mass genocide of the Sikhs in the 1980s and early 1990s. Beant Sinh misused his powers to terrorize the people of Punjab, killing tens of thousands of innocent Sikhs. Beant Sinh was a close associate of Indira Gandhi and had pledged to wipe the name of Sikhs from the State of Punjab.

It was on August 31, 1995 when Beant Sinh was executed outside the Punjab Secretariat for his crimes against humanity. Shaheed Bhai Dilawar Singh Babbar acted as a human bomb to eliminate the mass murderer and rid Punjab of further genocide against innocent civilians. According to court findings, Bhai Balwant Singh was good friends with Shaheed Bhai Dilawar Singh Babbar. He allowed for meetings to take place at his residence and also worked to arrange for clothing and the car that was used in the assassination plot. He, along with Babbar Khalsa Chief Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara, was found “guilty” of masterminding the execution of Beant Sinh, CM. Four others were also declared guilty by the court in this case.

Denies Faith in Indian Justice; Upholds Own Execution
Ever since being awarded capital punishment, Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana has refused to appeal his court sentence. In a letter written to the Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court, Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana expressed that he has no faith in the Indian Judiciary. He mentions that the Indian Judicial System does not apply to the killers of countless Sikhs; therefore he has no belief in such a system. It should be noted that upon being asked several times, Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana refused to utilise the services of a lawyer and also declined to cross-examine any of the witnesses.

In the same letter, Bhai Balwant Singh writes that Indian Justice has allowed the Harimandir Sahib to be attacked and the Akal Takhat Sahib to be reduced to rubble, without taking action against those that instigated such attacks on the Sikh religion. Bhai Balwant Singh also writes that along with Sikhs, Muslims and Christians have also suffered at the hands of the corrupt Indian Government but no one has sentenced those responsible for genocide against minority communities.



Panth’s Jathedar and Leaders Fail to Secure Life of Bhai Rajoana
None of the Panth’s Jathedars has shown interest in safeguarding the life of a Sikh who is responsible only for helping to plan the execution of a mass murderer who would not let up on his genocide campaign. Had any Sikh leader wished well for the community, they would have worked to bring mass murderers of the Sikh community to justice and have Sikh freedom fighters released from the Jails of India.

Similarly, none of Punjab’s eminent politicians have also shown the courage to back up the demand of Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana’s release. Notably, his death sentence will be the first blow to the Khalsa Panth after the re-election of Parkash Badal as Punjab’s Chief Minister.

The Last Desire of a Noble Sikh and wishes of Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana
It is without a doubt to any Sikh that Bhai Balwant Singh is not guilty of any crime, but worthy of an honor for stopping a mass murderer in his tracks. Just like Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana bestowed life to the people of Punjab by planning the assassination of Beant Sinh, his nobility came to light in the form of his last will.

In his will, Bhai Balwant Singh expressed no desire to live, but to allow others to experience life. In the form of an appeal to then Jathedar of Sri Akal Takhat Sahib, on June 17, 2008 Bhai Balwant Singh expressed his desire to donate his eyes to Hazoori Ragi Bhai Lakhwinder Singh, a soorma Singh (blind at birth). Bhai Rajoana expressed that he wishes to always have the sight of Sri Harimandir Sahib. If such is not possible for any reason, his eyes could be donated to anyone else. He also expressed his desire to donate all parts of his body to cure others.


Final Destination – Example for Generations to Come
“My comrades died in the hope that I share their sorrow; if I keep quiet then their souls would not rest in peace and haunt me continuously.” Note by Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana found in Ambassador Car parked outside the Punjab Secretariat. This car was probably used by Shaheed Bhai Dilawar Singh Babbar to reach his final destination.

In a similar courageous fashion, on March 31st, another brave son of Guru Gobind Singh Ji will give up his life for the cause of the Khalsa Panth–but the freedom movement against tyranny and oppression will continue. Bhai Rajoana’s execution will set another example for the Sikhs to fight against injustice.

Latest News on Bhai Balwant Singh Ji Rajoana
: Bhai sahib refused to meet Damdammi Taksal's present leader Dhumma and other leads who run various deras(groups). He said that he is devoted to Akal Takhat and Guru Granth Sahib ji only.
It is in the news that Punjab Government/Police has refused to execute him in ANY of Punjab Jails. It is still unclear but we hope that Waheguru ji bless our panth so that we do not lose this real fighter of Sikh community.

Knowledge Gap Among The Youth - Sikh History

Waheguru ji ka khalsa
Waheguru ji ki Fateh

While the mankind was searching for a true meaning of humans existence, Baba Nanak was trying to guide and awake the mankind towards the real meaning of humans' livelihood. It is sad and unfortunate that most of us do not even know 50% of what those great Gurus went through, how they sacrificed their lives and everything in order to spread love, peace and a real meaning to live a worthy life.

Many of us always get a thought in our minds that what is the reason of low popularity of Sikh History among the people, Why our children do not know much about sikhism, why our youth is losing the track of Guru's teachings. Why we are chasing materialistic things and giving up sikh identity by cutting down hair and shaving off beard and mustaches.  
The reason is "us" We are the reason for all that. Today, we hardly care if children in our families pay any attention to the holy paath and kirtan while we visit the Gurudwaras. We want to admit our children in good schools and we hardly care if Punjabi and Sikh History will be taught in that school or not. We do not have much time to tell them what sikhs really are and why Sikhism faith was started. When we stand in the crowd we forget that we are the ones who were created to stand apart and at the same time we should feel proud of the fact that we got this life/identity for a purpose which was led by Guru Gobind Singh ji.

If you are a true sikh of the Guru or even if you have one percent respect and love for the Guru, you should never hesitate in spreading the message of Sikhism. 


Lets take a pledge, that whenever we witness anything going wrong against the humanity, we should stand up against it and try to spread the love and peace with the help of teachings of our Guru Granth Sahib ji. Please do not make fun of any religion and do not let anyone make fun of your religion, as our Gurus said "Nobody is inferior or superior in this world, every human being is a creation of one almighty god and if he/she is sent on this earth, it is for a reason to live a life spreading peace while helping others"

It is the most difficult task to be pure, leaving all the selfishness. That is why we are called Sikhs, which really means "Learner" or who is constantly learning.
