Its a black mark on the face of India. Sikhs have been at the forefront in protecting India and the fight for independence in spite of their lower population. Sikhs are patriots and god fearing. Gandhi and congress tried to divide and rule in punjab and it back fired. Not a single person has been brought to justice and then they murdered 1000's of youths in punjab by the police. Shame on you India...trust me this is not going to go away.

But Kashmiri groups peg the number of migrants closer to 500,000....,since the end of 1989 and till now they are not been settled/allowed to go back there.January 4, 1990. Aftab, a local Urdu newspaper, publishes a press release issued by Hizb-ul Mujahideen, set up by the Jamaat-e-Islami in 1989 to wage jihad for Jammu and Kashmir's secession from India, asking all Hindus to pack up and leave. Another local paper, Al Safa, repeats this expulsion order.They have been forced to live the life of exiles in their own country, outside their homeland, by unleashing a systematic campaign of terror, murder, loot and arson....

It is sad to see this much of misunderstanding and stereotypes everywhere, espcially when politicians involves as usual for short-run benifits.

Dear Indscribe,

Very well written commentary on the days following aftermath of Indira Gandhi's death. In my view, we have still not given justice to all large scale massacres carried out in India be it 84 riots or 02 Gujarat riots.
At community level we must grow up and forgive and forget, but the individuals who committed the crimes have not been punished. Till the perpetrators of violence are punished, the people will not have complete faith in Indian system. Rule of law must prevail for prevention of future massacres.

Hi

@ Amit J, Making a movie "Singh is King" is not a sign of progress, and i dont think govt made this movie and the justice was served. And kindly dont suggest Muslim community about what they should learn. What has Hindu community learnt? If the justice was done in 1984, Gujarat incidence would have never happened. Saying sorry serves no purpose. How many Hindu groups have come in millions and protested that justice must be served, whether a musim/sikh/christian or Hindu gets killed for religious hatred? For that matter, Muslims have been a shame too,of course taking arms is no answer to anything, but how come Muslims weren't marching in front of supreme court to give justice and not move unless justice is given in 1984, 2002? Muslims have also shown a great apathy to Sikh carnage in 1984. India will be mature country when Hindus will protest when any muslim/sikh is killed and muslims will protest when any Hindu is killed, or one community saving the other; till then we will all be hindu/muslim/sikh/christian etc and not be INDIANS.
I being a Sikh can say that NOTHING has been done. 25 years and no justice?

@Sandeep, well, many Hindus say that Sikhs came out of Hindus and all that, nobody is protesting it. They do it, so they can prove closeness and remind Sikhs they were Hindus once, but does that serve the purpose of providing justice? And then they claim they saved many Sikhs around their neighborhoods, well, we have save the whole country for centuries and we will still do at any cost; but country has its obligations to people as well.

I dont mean to disrespect anybody but denial/inaction/apathy is a bad tool.

@ Amit bhai: You are right. Congress tried to wash away the sins by the elevation of Manmohan Singh as Prime Minister.

@ !!! : Nowhere I wrote that it was Hindu Vs Sikh. Congress leaders, goons, anti-socials and unemployed youths of mohallas, were all part of it.

@ Sandeep Ji: Correct. Just a year ago the Moradabad riots, Neilly and later Hashmipura-Maliana were not reported. Once again it was Indian Express that had written about these incidents.

Dear Adnan,The 1984 riots were again apolitically engineered pogrom.I remember staying up all night and keeping a watch so that no one could harm oue sikh neighbours,and you are absolutely right Hindus used to make their eldest son a sikh.I am a Punjabi so I know it all the more but 1 point,it was not just 1 community that attacked the sikhs,mostly it were the people from slums who did this or outsiders and from all the communities,it was very rare to see next door neighbours do this.Punjab problem was never a punjabi problem.We Punjabis had no bad blood between us.It was created by Indira Gandhi & it consumed her itself. Media with the exception of The Indian Express was pro congress,as it is still and never reported it properly.Gujrat was widely reported because it was ruled by BJP,while they want to avoid Bhiwandi & Neelhi as The states were ruled by Congress.

Its not correct to label the 84 riots on Sikhs as Hindu attack. Because riots were orchestrated/led by Congress-leaders/workers of all religions - hindu/muslims/christians alike. On the contrary, right wing RSS groups worked to protect sikhs in Delhi during 84 riots - a fact publicly well acknowledged by Sikhs in Delhi as also the root grounding for collaboration between Akali's and BJP.

Hi,
Although the Anti-Sikh riots were(and still are) a matter of shame for our country,what is heartnening to see is the way the Sikh community re-emerged after the riots.Today,you have a movie called 'Singh is King' which glorifies the community.The point is,the way the community branded itself did it a lot of good.
The Muslims in India can learn from this.I feel a big part of their problems can be solved if they improved their image.Another shining example is the Parsis.I think the Muslims should use large scale 'Gandhian' measures to start dialougue with people who view them with most distrust.For eg,take a procession out on the streets of Ahmedabad and give flowers to each businessman.The community must remember that they must grow 'inspite' their so called leadership,not because of them
