30th Years after Operation Blue Star - where do Sikhs go from here?
Dear Gurnam Singh Ji,
SSA.
It is an excellent thought provoking write up.Don't you think that what Guru Nanak wrote about the attack of Babar on Hindustan is mutatis mutandis relevant to us .We have suffered in 1947 and 1984 because we are disconnected from the teachings of Shabad Guru.We have become selfish and materialist and interested only in our own prosperity.The fundamental principles " Father hood of One God" is forgotten and we are pursuing many so called saints in Punjab and else where.The other principle of "Universal Brotherhood" is even not practised among ourselves what to say of the rest of the humanity.
According to Bhagat Kabir," Kabir is a child of Ram and Allah,hence all Gurus and peers are our".After 1984,I read a letter written by a girl in Mumbai,wherein she informed the Sikh Review that a few persons went to a rich Sikh businessman of Mumbai and requested him to donate for the widows of 1984 and the gentleman gave reluctantly Rs. 101.
However after a few days,he organised  a party in a 5 star hotel so that he could have his photo with an actress whom he admired.In the party chicken and Champagne flowed in abundance.The girl asked whether our culture is chicken-champagne-scotch culture.It appears that we have forgotten the principles of "dharm di kirat karni" and " wand chhakna "The widows are still living sub human lives.
We spend millions on our Gurdwaras bu donot like to spend anything to protect our daughters ,sisters and mothers.Once a Pathan had taken the wife of a Brahmin in Hoshiarpur andGuru Gobind Singh Ji sent Sahibzada Ajit Singh and hundred Sikhs to bring the lady back to her husband.Many Sikhs died in the skirmish but the task was successfully completed.After the Third Battle Of Panipat in 1761,when Abdali was returning to Kabul with loot and Maratha women,the Sikhs made his victory redundant and Punjab remained part of India.They freed the women and sent them to Maharashtra so that they could be re united with their families.When S. kapur Singh told this fact in The Parliament,The MPs from Maharashtra were not willing to accept this truth.We must learn from our history and look after unfortunate sisters.
With Waheguru's blessings.

Dear S. Jasjit Singh Ahluwalia jee, Former Chief Commissioner of Income Tax.  Kindly have a look at my response dated 25th June 2014 reproduced below.
Now with the cooperation of Aam Aadmi Party and its elected M.P.’s Dr. Dharamvir Gandhi, Bhagwant Mann, Khalsa Harinder Singh and Prof. Sadhu Singh, you too could do a lot provided all the well-wishers join with them in Punjab. They should also prevail upon the followers of BSP.
Those who could not succeed in the last Election, should also be encouraged like an old saying: “If winter comes, spring is not too far away”. I am sure that The Sikh Diaspora will also extend their assistance.
 With best wishes,
Gurmit Singh (Sydney)
