This is a high accomplishment, a true gift from Vaheguru. I encourage you to nourish this gift and help it grow.<BR/><BR/>As Sikhs, especially as Khalsa, we have a duty to protect the innocent, whoever they may be. I do not call for a violent revolution to establish Khalistan. I have never advocated violence except in extreme cases of self-defence or in defence of the innocent.<BR/><BR/>I do believe in working toward the peaceful establishment of our physical nation through international agencies such as the United Nations. Is this a pipedream? Possibly. Probably. But with Guru's kirpaa, it is possible. I grasp onto that hope.<BR/><BR/>In any case, someday India will fall apart, as did the Soviet Union. I hope we can be there to pick up at least one of the pieces and establish Khalistan as an independent, free, secure home for Sikhs and other people who share our dream.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, you must follow your path of truthful living and I must follow mine. You are no coward; you are following Truth as you see it, which is an act of great courage.<BR/><BR/>With much love and chardi kala,<BR/><BR/>Mai Harinder Kaur, TINKMaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093308712240415770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053322288552308267.post-19585718298519530572008-06-14T13:40:00.000-07:002008-06-14T13:40:00.000-07:00Jio I cannot express how I feel to your comments. ...Jio I cannot express how I feel to your comments. <BR/><BR/>I cannot possibly fathom what you have been through...<BR/><BR/>I can understand that a LOT of people feel there is a need for Khalistan. However, I feel that Sikhs are not the only minority in India.<BR/><BR/>India also has muslims, christians, buddhists, jains and many more who are mistreated by the State and a minority of Hindus.<BR/><BR/>I feel as a Sikh, I also have a duty towards these people. I do not think that Khalistan is a viable, non-vioent answer to all our problems. <BR/><BR/>As a Sikh of Guru Ji I feel that they would be ashamed of me should I abandon India and all her problems; leaving them to the rest.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I am a coward but I could not bare to see India full of 'mai' ji's and my brothers and sisters made orphans.<BR/><BR/>Please tel me, what can be done?Gupt Singhnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13711482184997082417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053322288552308267.post-37963334744634760162008-06-13T18:09:00.001-07:002008-06-13T18:09:00.001-07:00Now, what do you suggest?Now, what do you suggest?Maihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093308712240415770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053322288552308267.post-44492022005979950632008-06-13T18:09:00.000-07:002008-06-13T18:09:00.000-07:00I don't quite know how to reply, except to say tha...I don't quite know how to reply, except to say that had Khalistan existed on 31 Oct - 4 Nov 1984, my husband, my son, my brothers, my cousins and my two unborn daughters would not have 'Shaheed' in front of their names, nor would I have 'Widow' after mine.<BR/><BR/>On 30 Oct 1984, I believed that Khalistan was a lot of silliness born from Singh Khalsa with too much testosterone and too much time on their hands.<BR/><BR/>When I regained consciousness in Nov 1984 - I'm not sure of the day, I found my understanding of the movement had grown.<BR/><BR/>Over the years, I have come to believe that the disolution of India, sooner or later - is inevitable. We Sikhs need to be there to at least pick up the pieces of Punjab and save our ancestral home from anarchy and ruin.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, the desertification of Punjab continues at an alarming rate; if something isn't done soon, this rich agricultural land will look more like the Kalahari Desert than a brimming breadbasket.Maihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093308712240415770noreply@blogger.com
