The Battlefield on the 2nd June : Day Two of Sikh Holocaust of 1984




 

Continuing from the previous post…
In the part-2 of this topic, I will endeavour to highlight the events of June the 2nd 1984, which shall, hopefully, shed further light on the conflicting intentions of the two sides fighting in this battle – Indian regime’s attack was motivated by the festering intolerance for any non- Brahminic belief with particular hatred for the Sikhs, and the Sikhs were driven by their core character to stand up against oppression and injustice, in morally justified self-defence.  
                                     Supportive information
1. According to the fabricated narrative propagated by the Indian system,
the attack on the Golden Temple was necessary to flush out the so-called Sikh terrorists, as already explained in the previous post. However, one year before invading the Sikh Gurdwara, a model of the Golden Temple and the entire complex was built in a place called Chakrata in the country to train the Indian forces for the attack. Sant Bhindranwale and his followers, or any other Sikh activists, were nowhere near the Golden Temple at the time. Moreover, the definition of terrorism was redefined by the real extremists to mean the people who might protest against the discrimination or even worse atrocities inflicted on them, namely, the Sikhs.
But that’s nothing new; history records that revolutionaries are always labelled as terrorists to justify their killings by the ruling regimes. The only thing righteousness terrorises is wickedness, and thus, the Sikhs became terrorists. Unfortunately, the world becomes too vast to unite and too narrow-minded to seek the truth. The edited and engineered news headlines were sufficient as a source of information in the pre-social-media era. Truth didn’t stand much chance of being heard. However, the brave marched on.   
2. It was not just Harmandir Sahib (Also called fondly as the Golden Temple), but hundreds of other Sikh Gurdwaras too were attacked simultaneously in Punjab and other parts of the country. So much for the ‘necessary action’ by the Government!
3. The operation aimed at killing as many Sikhs as possible. For this, worshippers were encouraged to enter the Gurdwara premises with a dual cunningness- to showthe world that it wasn’t a siege, nor focused only on arresting/killing Sant ji and other activists. In reality, a curfew was imposed in the city outside the Gurdwara premises.
                         The Sikh Response: 2nd June 1984
 Despite the unprovoked firing the previous day, causing serious injuries and even killing a few pilgrims, Sikhs responded with restrained cross-firing, but also tried to avoid additional damage to life or the sanctity of the Gurdwara. In this pursuit, the Sikh community leaders sent a letter to the then President of India. But there was no response- either the letter was not delivered deliberately, or the decision of the dictatorial Prime Minister, Indra Gandhi, was final, rendering the President a mere rubber stamp under instructions. A strong word in circulation at that time was that the President, who was a Sikh (by image only), was restrained under house arrest, lest his Sikhi might arise with what was planned next.
So, the unanimous community spokesmen and religious leaders sent the next letter, addressed to the Prime Minister herself, telling her that the bullet marks in the building walls of the Gurdwara will be preserved and photos circulated to the world to show the unholy action by the Government, without provocation or any valid reason. But, as expected, there was no response from the Prime Minister’s office. Instead, the curfew was tightened, and the city was flooded with the army.
Sant ji and General Shabeg Singh understood that this was a decisive moment, as the government agencies had made up their minds to carry out the killing of the Sikhs while thousands were entrapped inside the premises. This was the main reason for choosing a busy religious period for the attack- maximum fatalities at the same time and same place.
The attack was named as ‘Operation Blue Star’ by the Indian regime, taunting at the blue robes and turban worn by the initiated Sikhs.
Sikhs had given enough time and opportunities for a sensible non-violent resolution, but the Hindu Tavi Government had other ideas.
The Sikh activists, under the leadership of Sant Bhindranwale and ex-Army General Shabeg Singh, were briefed and asked to take strategic positions, ready to respond as the very existence of the Sikhs as a faith and community was under attack now. Courage and resolute belief were the main armour and weapon for the handful of Sikhs, in relative terms, facing the three battalions with unlimited arms.
I must repeat here- Sikhs are a very patient community, but their patience is not to be toyed with.
The soldier who remembers his/her moral standards on the battlefield and the soldier who fights not to ‘save’ himself but to ‘defend’ what he believes in becomes a formidable force. Hence, every Sikh has the potential to turn into a soldier in defence.
On the historic day of the 2nd June 1984, thus, line was drawn between the Sikh community and the majoritarian Indian regime.  
The fire was lit, and the Sikhs were ready to baptise, to write a new chapter of glory.
Day three description to follow tomorrow.

    1. Thank you for kindness. ‘Money over humanity’ has been the unfortunate philosophy that has held mankind in its tight grip since we entered the race to ‘civilise ourselves’. But looking at the glass half full- Despite all the odds against them, Sikhs have been able to put their agenda on the world table today, whether a few or more countries are recognising their issues. For example, there has been an arrest made of an Indian agent in America who was caught paying for a professional killing of a Sikh activist on the American soil. The previous Prime Minister of Canada too stood in the parliament to voice against the trans-national repression by the Indian agencies on foreign soil. I have written an article on that too. So, slowly but surely the steer is turning towards understanding.
      I really appreciate readers who have the magnanimity to absorb an issue that affects other cultures. So, please accept my gratitude, and I would appreciate your continued attention. Stay blessed.🙏🙏🎉🎉❤

  1. I was 5 at the time. In Germany, there was initially shock and disbelief about the desecration of a major religious shrine. But several factors pushed this news off into oblivion. Firstly, more pressing concerns, such as an economy slowdown at the time and the ongoing Cold War, secondly an almost complete lack of knowledge of the Indian political and religious landscape among the general public, who imagined India as a culturally homogenous monolithic block, often romanticized. The most common idea of India was influenced by the teachings of Gandhi, one of an absolutely nonviolent people, nonviolent to the point of lacking a healthy measure of assertiveness.

    1. First, please accept my hearty gratitude for connecting with my blog, and taking time to comment. Thank you. 🙏 You are right that India had propagated a false narrative for decades to hoodwink the world under the guise of being the World’s biggest democracy. As a result, World imagined India to be land of yogis and sages, implying peaceful society. But reality is categorically opposite. It’s a country riddled with inequality of caste, class, gender, and any policy that could divide the society- Divide and rule. at least 25% of their cabinet has criminal charges, including rape, on their portfolio. With regard to the myth of Gandhi- it needs series of articles on this subject alone. Just a few highlights- 1. The person who advised the British rulers in South Africa to introduce ‘third class’ in railways, was none other than the divisive and intolerant Gandhi. When he was refused entry into first class of a train, he felt insulted, not as a brown man, but as a Brahmin caste (so-called highest caste amongst Hindus). He worked with the British regime under cover, and so his advice was accepted. As a result, Indians of higher castes were allowed in the second class, and Blacks were pushed into the newly created third class. He influenced the Indian constitution to legitimise caste system, and thus the discriminatory and oppressive policy continues to the day. On the pretext of adopting celibacy, he used lay naked in bed with his own nieces and other young women, claiming that he was putting himself through test to see how far he had defeated temptation of flesh. No wonder, India is the rape capital of the world. In my eyes, Gandhi has been the biggest stunt of the twentieth century. There is a lot of evidence available now to testify his corruption.
      Once again, thank you for your comments. stay blessed. 🙏🙏

      1. A sad thing to read. This only strengthens my conviction, that especially among good and docile people, the worst political scum of the Earth can thrive, often undisturbed.

        I would just like to add that Sikhs are good people but are not docile. They are fighters, but fighting too has an honourable code. The problem is when your enemy has no morals or principles, then the choice is to either lower your own standards, or fight the long war. Sikhs would never lower their moral standards. You are right though, in the sense that it takes a moment to commit a crime, but it takes ages to get justice. However, Sikhs shall win this war ultimately. After all, there are many other minorities living in fear and subjugation, but its only the Sikhs who always showed courage to stand up to them. If you read history of Sikhs, you’ll find many examples of their bravery- in challenging oppression by Mughals, especially forced conversion of faith. Even Hindus can’t deny that if it wasn’t for the Sikhs and our Guru’s martyrdom, all Hindus would have converted to Islam. So, the Sikhs are patient up to a point, before righteous wrath rises.
        Thank you for your valued comments, I really enjoy reading your thoughts. 🙏🙏

      3. PS: Apart from the widely known Gandhi, there is also (in Europe not widely known) Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, whose economic models and treatises have been studied deeply, serving as a foundation for the E.U. long term strategy model. Yet nearly nobody had ever heard of him.

      4. I am sorry to say that Ambedkar, like Gandhi, too is like an elephant’s teeth – one set for show and another to chew. He falsely acclaim to be a Dalit- meaning un-touchable or low caste as per the Brahminic system. This massive lie was to legitimise caste system, which is an inhuman and divisive policy, and make the nefarious policy part of Indian constitution. To mitigate any suspicions or opposition, what better way than propagating that it is a low caste person who has been given the authority of writing the new country’s constitution. Thus, fairness was implied. In reality, Ambedkar was not a low caste person, but belonged to a Rajput caste. His sisters were married to Brahmins. Under Gandhi and Nehru’s supervision and instructions, the constitution by Ambedkar was further changed and edited to suit only the privileged class. There was a fall out with them, so Ambedkar converted to Buddhism before dying. It’s a country built on falsehood, so anyone like Sikhs, cannot possibly live there safely. I am not aware of Ambedkar’s influence on E.U. Hope I haven’t disappointed you with this exposure. Thank you so much for taking time to comment. 🙏🙏🙏

      5. Ambedkar being positioned as the representative of the Dalits reveals a fair degree of political scheming. Yet, upon closer examination, the strategy appears entirely plausible — even logical within the broader context of power dynamics at the time.

        I’d like to share a few historical observations. The caste system in India is widely believed to have been introduced by the Indo-Aryans, who supplanted an earlier civilization — most likely the Harappan culture. The Indo-Aryans themselves are thought to have originated from the Sintashta culture, an offshoot of the older Yamnaya culture. The Yamnaya were known for their sweeping conquests across what is sometimes referred to as “Old Europe,” including the Cucuteni-Trypilia and Danube cultures.

        Interestingly, elements of the patriarchal and socially stratified systems introduced by these Indo-European groups persisted in Europe as well. In fact, it could be argued that the dismantling of these structures — at least in their overtly rigid forms — only began around 150 years ago.

      6. Thank you for commenting. Appreciate it. In the name of information, a lot of fake and false propaganda is in circulation as well. So, hope you can find genuine history for your research, and not the one influenced by the controlling majoritarian authorities. I wish you best of luck for your writing, and look forward to reading your article. 👍👍

      7. PPS: @Gandhi, thank you for this insight. There have been some reports and opinions, but widely disregarded, as Gandhi was viewed as a paragon of goodness and justice. Winston Churchill – deeply disdainful of the caste system of India – viewed Gandhi as a hypocrite.
        I’ll try to put together an article on darker chapters of India, like the horrendous Kilvenmani massacre, which – if for a day – shook the German public back in the day (a decade before my birth).

      8. You’re absolutely right. Governments have the legitimacy and the whole national machinery at their disposal to create a propaganda they wish to sell to the world. So long people endeavour to research and dig out the facts, truth shall always prevail eventually. I look forward to reading your article.
