Re: Did Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale ji ever get the respect he deserved
wjjk wjjf
ive been doing alot of reading about the events surroinding the 1984 attack on the golden temple. i 100% support what Harjas Kaur Khalsa has posted above. there were multiple other solutions to flush out bhindranwale, but is that really the case the indian army had in their mind? for example, a seige on the temple would have beeen a viable solution. some say "but the golden temple has food supplies to support thousands of sewadars that come every day." this is true, however the indian army could have isolated the langar hall and kitchen from the main temple complex. what baout the hundreds of sikhs that would have converged on the army if a seige was put into place? to answer that, note how many police officers including the punjab police and crp were distributed in the punjab area. they could have beefed up police presence even more and kept a strict curfew could they not?
this was an attack on the sikh faith, not on sant bhindranwale. despite my parents views on him, which state he was a chayla of indra ghandi, i believe he was an exceedingly honorable man. i can say with confidence that if i were alive in that time period, i would have joined his cause in a heartbeat. when he died, the foundation of khalistan was laid, however the rest of the sikh population was too hell bent on pointing fingers to the indian administration to continue the seperist movement, thus failing in making khalistan.
i dont mean to offend anyone in my post, however if i did maa mafi mangda
They sent the Army with tanks and artillary to wipe out everyone present, selected a day with large crowds of pilgrims, old people and children. The Army did severe damage to Akal Takht as a sign of Indian Government authority, and attacked 40 major Gurudwaras at the same time. They imposed complete martial law, blackout of the press and heavy propaganda since that day. It was an attack on Sikhi, not Sant Ji. As can be highlighted in the fact that since Sant Ji's death in 1984, hundreds thousands Sikhs were arrested, tortured, murdered and disappeared.
It's said the end result is your true intent.....it is clear that annihilation of Sikh identity into Hindu by brutal force was the true intent.
Sant Ji left a legacy of dignity in the midst of the greatest horrors. He stood his ground against overwhelming odds, and fought back like a tiger.

Funny how anyone in India who wants freedom from oppression, justice, human rights is branded a terrorist and genocidally attacked. This is true of Sikhs, Muslims, Dalits, Kashmiris...What is sad is even after the obvious horror of Congress Party, people still give credibility to their justifications for oppression.

Sant Ji was RIGHT!
