And Still We Will Fight
Despite tanks rolling into the Guru’s Court (Darbar Sahib)
When a Singh’s head, becomes hunted as a sport (Delhi 1984)
Despite Kaljug sitting on his throne supreme
When the world trembles from tyranny’s regime
And Still We Will Fight
Although hardly a newsflash, last week a Delhi Court acquitted three murderers. Although low-level players in the Government-sponsored pogroms in Delhi and throughout India in November 1984, their acquittal further illustrates that it is Kaljug that reigns supreme in India.
Additional Sessions Judge Pinki acquitted Jagdish Singh, Sajjan Singh and Ishwar Singh, who were charged with leading a mob which allegedly killed Gurbakshish Singh outside his residence in Paschim Vihar locality on November one, 1984, during the riots that followed the assassination of the then prime minister Indira Gandhi.[link]
In this 25th year of remembrance, people in our own community sometimes state, “What’s done is done. Why are you harping on the past? Sikhs in India have moved on. Let it go.” Still when injustice continues to be the norm and the square wheels of Indian justice cannot turn, then still we will fight. In solidarity, in remembrance, in today’s reality – and still we fight.

Theories of 1984 ( ten in total):–
1)Discrimination theory :- The people of Punjab have felt discriminated from the centre since independence.
2 ) Return phobia theory :- The biggest worry for our leaders is that SIKHS will return into the fold of hinduism and that hate is the best way to prevent it.

Harinder,
5000 is the number of dead in Nov, 84 riots. The number of Sikhs who were killed between 1978 and early nineties is above 50,000.

Raj Bains, you really need to research your history and learn about Sikhi before you start making judgments on people. The only BS is in your email and shows your lack of education! The Singh Sabha movement and Anandpur Resolution did not preach separatism but dealt with basic rights for Sikhs…Sikhs did not kill Nirankaris, in fact it was the other way around in 1978 and when Bhrindrawale saw this he decided to take stand up for their rights (read: AR Darshi – the Gallant Defender and please dont get your education from Wikepedia like others on this board!). You are correct in blaming the Indian government and the Akalis for all this…however Nihangs in power? Give me a break, what a joke! Also keep the negatively and abuse to a minimum as many people gave their lives….the number is close to 250,000 if you include the 'disappeared' in the Punjab under KPS Gill and Julio Ribeiro…may God give you peace as you are tormented and full of hate…keep on praying …
