Sikhs beaten and humiliated in India after peaceful protest against BJP party

Video from TODAY (Monday 14th November 2011) showing Sikhs beaten and humiliated after a peaceful protest against L.K. Advani's Rath Yatra - because of BJP leader's active role in Indian Government's military action on Sri Harmandir Sahib in June 1984.

Clip taken from UK television channel 'The Sikh Channel'

No love for the Indian government, police or media. This has been happening to Sikhs (and other minority groups) for far too long. India is NOT a democracy. It is an authoritarian state. The human rights abuses and denial of civil rights is obvious.

Just horrible..

Waheguru

I bet someone thought that it wouldn't look as bad as long as there were one or two sardar policemen. smh.
goes to show you that just like so many mid-east nations, just cuz theres a lot of money coming in...it doesn't make the country a "developed" one.

 

[tajinder]

dekh lo. oh sala hawaldaar bhi sikh aah koi sharam nahi aah india vich. DUB KE MAR JAO. SIKH BANO TAAN SEYAPA NA BANO TAAN SEYAPA. kuch nahi hona duniya da. baba nanka ik vaari phir avai plzzz.. WAHEGURU.

The thing is events like this are occurring every single day there, it's only now that Sikh medium are arising and Sikhs abroad are actually finding out about it. Otherwise, things like this are just suppressed. It's really sad to see...Don't see things changing anytime soon either unless Khalistan is ever made....
And the guys who call themselves 'Sikh' and are doing it to their own community sicken me. Badal deserves to be shot straight up and Manmohan Singh is a muppet.

I wish our own people didn't do this to us. I always wondered (if i was a serial killer, i will kill every one of these people who does something like that) yes I said it.

 

[voxanimus]

this is the kind of stuff that needs to be shown to those deshbhakts that tout the up and coming international eminence of india. until it can resolve the rampant domestic issues that this video is merely a small taste of, it's going nowhere.

More like a delta force soldier going rogue in india, and taking out every bastard involved (Kuldip Brar) not only directly in 1984, but also the ones suppressing the rights to advocate and punishment of the ones responsible for 1984. Sikh and Hindu alike. Doesnt matter what religion or caste you are, if you committed heinous acts you all deserve the same punishment. And that goes for everything going on today, just as it was shown in the video.

If u think the treatment of sikhs in india is bad, try kashmiri muslims, india treats kashmiris like dogs, everyday for decades...

Personally I don't think any community has suffered like the Sikhs have in India. To not even have the right of being recognised as a religion in the first place (indian constitution states sikhs 'are hindus') and not have a marriage act are just a few examples.
Then to have the holiest shrine in the religion (muslim equivalent of Mecca) bombed and subsequently thousands killed in faked attacks for decades after.


Then organise a mass massacre in 1984 to kill off as many as possible. Simply for their religion.


Massacres have happened against muslims in gujrat and christians in orissa but none on the scale of the sikhs...

 

[faizan]

A massacre is one thing, but systematic rape, torture and killings in kashmir have been occurring for decades...major violence against sikhs ended in the 80s, but major violence against kashmiris has not and will not, and no one gives a shit...i'm not trying to compare who has it worst or who is a bigger victim, i am just saying that too often indian people pretend like kashmiri people are doing just fine or that it's not a big deal...but it is, it's a damn shame...

 

[HarmanSingh]

Having a competition to determine which genocide was/is worse is not worthwhile. The Indian government has disposed of any population they deem a threat and any minority group that does not have political power. Major violence against Sikhs did not end in the 1980s, and the genocide that occurred was systematic; as was the coverup and the lack of justice for the victims. And what is happening to the Kashmiris should anger the Sikh community just as much as Operation Blue Star and the aftermath.

India has always ruled with an iron fist, they do not protect civil liberties and are constantly abusing human rights. But Khalistan is not the answer if you ask me. I do not think theocracies work. Instead, it is time poor peoples and those abused by the Indian government unite. That means the Jatts in the Pinds, the "untouchables". the Kashmiris...they all have to bridge the divide that exists.

Definitely man I get where you're coming from. Kashmir is overlooked and forgotten about all too often.
But when I said massacre I meant organized killings ie the torture rape and killings apply here too.


And major violence definitely didn't end in the 80s. It continued well into the 90s but that's what documentation states. In reality it continued after and the fake encounters, killings, tortures etc still happen today. The organized genocide of the Sikhs in 1984 though to the best of my knowledge is the one with the greatest no of fatalities out of all the 'riots'.


India just treats all its minorities like shit. Whilst the muslims in kashmir are treated bad, the problem with sikhs is more in the whole country and its legislation as opposed to one state.

To add to Sikh oppression, I find the current drug problem in Punjab eerily similar to the 80s crack epidemic conspiracy with the Blacks in the US. Matter of fact, I don't even think it's a conspiracy; the Indian government is supplying drugs to Punjab to destroy the youth/leaders of tomorrow.

 

[mcgulz]

Im gunna avoid the whole '84 talk just because of the fact that it hits wayy too close to home. Only thing im gunna say about this video is that a Sikh desecrating the very article of faith that he himself wears on another Sikh is just as wrong as someone from another religion doing the same thing. It doesn't matter if those guys committed a crime or not there's no reason to just take off their dastaar, we all have rights. If it was me I woulda fought those guys for my dastaar even if they beat the living shit out of me but I guess that's just the young patriotic side of me speaking...I hope this video makes out into the Indian media so maybe! some action could be taken against that hawaldaar


It's a damn shame that the largest "democracy" in the world has things like this going on. If that happened over here a fucking whirlwind of protests and other forms of public outcries would have went down in an instant which further proves that in India, humans are worth less than insects. Worst part about this is, is that all the minorities in India wouldn't ever join sides with the other minorities to fight for their civil rights. How are you going to ask for civil rights and an end to corruption if your not willing to work alongside other PEOPLE fighting for the same cause?

Why can't we all just get along? (I know this sounds really ignorant... but it's still true.) Though we may have different cultures, foods, histories, religions, nations, languages,etc... we are all still human, are we not?

Yup... that's the word I was lookin' for. Damn though, if it's possible, we should do it. XD
