DAY OF MOURNING. WEAR BLACK RIBBONS IN SHAME\\\\\\\\\\\\ The shooting in a gurdwara in America on Sunday , August 5, 2012, shook the entire Sikh world. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ It was the most tragic incident in recent years. Sikhs never had such “mass” murder since the day (20 March, 2000) when 36 innocent Sikhs were stood against the wall in Chattisinghpura, South Kashmir, and shot dead. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Before that it was the genocide of 1984, not to forget the hundreds of thousands of Sikhs murdered in cold blood during 1947. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ It is an acknowledgement of the failure of leadership that the Sikhs, though well known, recognized and respected in the sub continent and none could say they were mistaken for the Taliban, were shot dead or massacred on our own home ground. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ But the massacre in the USA is especially painful since there is no record of the Sikhs provoking any political unrest or anybody by laying claim to territory. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ In America we have heard some people say, "If you look like the enemy then you are treated like the enemy.“ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ They were referring to the TALIBAN who had declared America their Enemy No. 1. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ We Sikhs admit that we never tell the people who we are and what our Belief and ethos are. But clearly there is a unique way to do so. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Just win ONE gold medal at the World Olympics and the whole world will want to know who the Sikhs are. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ The media will give coverage, the journalists will write papers on the 5K's and the turbans. And since the people in the West are keen on gaining information and knowlede, some reporters may even travel to East Punjab and find out all about the Sikhs. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ After that people in America and the rest of the world will not only understand the reasons beind the uncut hair and the turbans, but also love and respect the Sikhs. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ So, how sad it is that not one Sikh millionaire or organization in the West or even the Chief Minister of the Punjab, sitting on Union Territory, or the SGPC, has supported any Sports among the Sikh youth. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Tiny Jamaica, and even smaller Lithuania, the winners of Gold medals, are better known to the world than the Punjab and her Sikhs who did not win any gold medal. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Now let us see how many gold medals the Sikh youths are going to win at the next World Olympics in 1916. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ===================================================== PS! WHEN HAVING UNCONDITIONALLY SURRENDERED FIVE PROVINCES TO THE MUSLIMS OF INDIA, PANDIT JAWAHARLAL NEHRU DECLARED THE SIKHS TO BE DANGEROUS PEOPLE! \\\\\\\\\\\ DAY OF MOURNING: 15th of August every year is the Day of Mourning to remind us when West Punjab was surrendered unconditionally by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and MK Gandhi without Referendum or consulting the SIKHS in Punjab and INDIA. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Partition was a malicious and deliberate attack on the Punjab and the united secular India. Nearly two million innocent people were massacred, thousands of girls and women were abducted and raped, and tens of millions of people were forced out of their homes to find new life all over the world, Five provinces of India vanished from the map overnight. Yet Nehru and his mentor Gandhi regarded it a NON EVENT. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Those who CELEBRATE history's greatest surrender and human migration cannot be decent or honourable. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Let us all COMMEMORATE our heroes and the Dead of 1947 as well as the HIGH TREASON and BETRAYAL by the leaders of India, on this day. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Patriots ought to wear BLACK ribbons to mark the Day of Mourning when Lahore and Sri Nankana Sahib were surrendered by India without a single condition or reason. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ---------------------------------- 000000000
