Statement of Indian Army Chief About Insurgency in Punjab and Double Standards of the State System [Letter to the Editor]

November 9, 2018

Over the years we have always seen the double standards of justice system in India. The ruling Governments, security agencies, police etc. are very quick to charge, arrest and punish the persons belonging to minorities, even kill them and their family members in fake encounters but strangely the same Governments, security agencies, police etc. act dumb and blind when it comes to punish the guilty Hindutava forces.

Talks with Modi, A structured progress (Dr. Jasdev Singh Rai)

July 21, 2016

It is yet too soon to know how the process of dialogue with the Modi Government will proceed.

It is only right to address concerns and explain what these talks are all about.

Rise of AAP ” is a ray of hope for saving Sikhi? I disagree [Letter to the Editor]

February 12, 2015

I believe even though the AAP has a number of good things and intentions but at its very core AAP is a nationalistic Indian party which believes in one Indian nation and betterment of “INDIAN” people within the constructs and confines on Indian Constitution. Its nationalistic nature becomes quite evident when Kejriwal starts his victory speech with the slogan of “Bharat mata ki jai” and “Vande Matram”.

A Sikh activist’s reaction to Kuldip Nayar’s article asking the Sikhs to simply forget the terrible injustices

October 15, 2014

While I was reading my daily news, I came across Kuldeep Nayar's article on a number of English medium websites. One example is copied below (from a newspaper called the Statesman). This article is not really about the blacklist - it goes much wider than that. In his article Nayar is basically asking the Sikhs to simply forget the terrible injustices of the past as a way to restore harmony in Punjab. He does not seem to understand that reconciliation can only happen when injustices are removed and when the guilty are punished.

January 26, 2014

Recently declassified British documents have revealed that Indira Gandhi asked British PM Thatcher in February 1984, for her advice and support for attack on Darbar Sahib.

These days there is a new phenomena, that many miscreants are tempering with certain paintings supposed to be that of Sikh Guru Sahibans in blasphemous manner.

Letter to the Editor – Are we really following the Gadri Babas principles and teachings?

July 10, 2013

Recently we have been reading a lot about Gadri Baba movement and programs being organised to pay homage to the great Shaheeds of Gadri Baba movement.

Son of Sardar – what’s the message?

November 26, 2012

Let me make it clear that I am not going to discuss the controversy surrounding dialogues or scenes from Ajay Devgn's recent release “Son of Sardar”. Because this issue is largely discussed in media and Sikh circles and many would agree that the controversy is almost over.

November 14, 2012

Canadian PM went to India to have good friendly and business relations with India. But the headlines we generally saw in the news media about PM's visit dealt with Indian Govt's concern about Sikh extremists in Canada.

Independence Day of Pakistan & India, because of Sikhs

August 15, 2011

Open Letter to P. Chidambaram , Home Minister of India on his claim about blacklist review

June 25, 2011

You have attempted to misguide Sikhs on blacklist issue, and more unfortunate thing is that you went on to justify the denial of justice to Sikhs, who fell victims of November 1984 genocide, because asking someone to forget or forgive the excesses without delivering or secure justice, clearly means to justify the excesses.
