Are India's rulers planning synchronized state-sponsored terrorist acts in January/ February 2006, a la the March 2000 Chitthisinghpura Sikh massacre which was carried out in Indian-held Kashmir during President Clinton's visit to S. Asia?
Wednesday, December 28, 2005Christmas, and end of the year, is supposed to be a season of friendship, generosity and forgiveness. But, it seems there is no such reprieve for the beleaguered Indian Sikhs (captive in the Indian map since August 1947) from the conspiracies brewing, in the evil minds of of the Brahmin-caste-dominated Indian rulers in New Delhi, all of them ardent students of Pandit Chanakya's Arthashastra - an ancient guide to statecraft - which calls for state-terrorism to achieve unity within the state and for dominance over neighboring countries...more
Musings on the recent UNICEF's annual report titled 'The State of the World’s Children 2006 - Excluded and invisible'
Wednesday, December 21, 2005The presence of a young Indian 13-years old Muslim girl from Bihar, Guriya Khatun, at the launching, in London last week, of the annual UNICEF (formerly `United Nation's International Children's Emergency Fund) report titled, 'The State of the World’s Children 2006: Excluded and Invisible', has unwittingly cut through the ongoing false 'India shining' dezinformatsiya, which floods the internet and the media, and has focused our attention on the miserable state of the misruled Indian state, after fifty eight years of socalled 'independence' from British Colonial rule...more
Indian rulers now claim that Punjab has NOT been a 'Disturbed Area' since 1997
Wednesday, December 14, 2005India, what a country? 'India is as much a country as the Equator,' the late Mr. Winston Churchill used to say - correctly. For over two decades, since the June 1984 Indian Army attack on Darbar Sahib in Amritsar, the inhabitants of Sikh-majority Punjab have been living in terror, 'strangulated', intimidated and fleeced by the minions of the Indian state under the excuse that Punjab state had been declared a 'disturbed area' under the draconian 'Disturbed Area Act', of the Indian parliament. This legislation had impounded every human right of the Punjabi citizens. The above-mentioned act empowers the Police to act arbitarily (like thugs and wolves) a la their 'uniformed soul-mates' in Muslim-majority Kashmir and Christisan-majority Nagaland which states have also been declared 'Disturbed Areas' by passage of other 'Acts' of the socalled Indian parliament. It now turns out that the 'Disturbed Area' classification of Punjab, after 1997, was a farce, as it never was!...more
Musings on the Kashmir dispute
Wednesday, December 07, 2005According to yesterdays Kashmir Times, Greater Kashmir, and other newspapers, Kashmir National Conference (NC) president, Omar Abdullah, (a former Minister of State in the External affairs ministry during the BJP raj; a grandson of Shaikh Abdullah and son of Dr. Farooq Abdullah) said in Srinagar yesterday that he was likely to visit Pakistan in near future and would take with him the pigeonholed Greater Autonomy Resolution, passed by the Kashmir Assembly in June 2000. He would ask Gen Musharraf if his recent self-government suggestion for Kashmir was a better and more practicable idea than the Kashmir assembly autonomy resolution, passed in June 2000, to solve the Kashmir dispute. Some solution!...more
Ramankutty Maniappan, an Indian RAW operative, beheaded by drug smugglers in South West Afghanistan
Wednesday, November 30, 2005India was up to its old Chanakiyan tricks following the Nov 19 kidnapping and murder of an Indian operative, Ramankutty Maniappain, by some drug smugglers, who are opposed to the Iran-Afghanistan link road (as it effects their livelihood) being financed and built by India in the drug-infested Nimroz province of Western Afghanistan...more
The fate of two quarantined Arabian horses presented to Chief Minister Amrinder Singh by Pakistani Punjab Chief Minister Pervez Ilahi shows how we Sikhs are 'enjoying' the promised 'glow of freedom' in the world's largest demoNcracy - India Amrinder not allowed to ride the 2 horses!
Wednesday, November 23, 2005Nothing is more symbolical of the low third class status of the millions of Sikhs, captive since August 1947, (in the world's largest oligarchic, Brahmin-caste-dominated, demoNcracy - India) than the sad tale of two magnificent Arabian horses, one named Sultan, the other, called Son of a Gun, gifted in 2004 and 2005, to Punjab Chief minister Amrinder Singh (a scion of the Royal house of Patiala) by the Pakistani Punjab's Sikh-friendly Chief minister, Chaudhry Pervez Ilahi...more
China to join SAARC as Observor
Wednesday, November 16, 2005The 13th SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) meeting which concluded in Dacca (Bangladesh) on Sunday November 13, 2005, will be remembered for the extra ordinary demonstration of China's geo-political shadow over the South Asian countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and the Maldives and the pettishness of the hallucinatory Indian leadership who think that India is China's equal, which thinking, if not corrected, will ultimately result in another 1962 like debacle, if the Chinese decide to 'teach a lesson'...more
Musings on l'affair Natwar Singh which is in the news in India these days, a la yesteryears Bofors scandal
Wednesday, November 09, 2005It is important to not let the whole 'tamasha' in the Indian media about, and by, ex-Foreign minister Natwar Singh and his critics detract us from the fact that the Congress party, and hundreds of Indian business firms were also charged with the same allegation as well, (in the Iraqi oil for food scandal investigation) ordered by the U.N., which was led by that distinguished American, a former ex-chairman of the US Federal Reserve, Mr. Paul Volcker, a man widely known for his integrity and ability...more
India's 'appointed' Prime minister Manmohan Singh insults the memory of the thousands of innocent Sikh victims of the state-supervised November 1984 anti-Sikh pogroms by placing a wreath on mass murderer HKL Bhagat's deathbed
Wednesday, November 02, 2005While the twenty five million strong Sikh nation is remembering, with sadness and deep anguish, the thousands of innocent Sikh men, women and children who were murdered between October 31 and and November 04, 1984, (during the state-sponsored and state-supervised India-wide mass killings which took place exactly twenty one years ago) India's appointed Prime minister Manmohan Singh (who wears a Sikh turban and claims he is a Sikh) publicly insulted the memory of those thousands of innocent Sikh victim's last Sunday - on October 30, 2005 - during a public funeral of a mass murderer in Delhi, India...more
New Chanakiyan angle to the SYL canal dispute
Wednesday, October 26, 2005What this column had foretold over six months ago (Khalistan Calling dated April 06, 2005) about the conspiracy brewing in Haryana to manipulate the Nangal headworks to siphon extra water, for that state from the Bhakra canal via a new link canal, in place of the defunct SYL canal, has come true. We hope all the political leaders of the Punjab are listening, (organizing, uniting and 'keeping their powder dry') in order to meet this new threat and challenge to the well-being of the present and future generations of the Sikh Homeland. ...more
Sirdar Simranjit Singh Mann deserves a salute of the Sikh nation for highlighting the decades-long theft of Punjab's river water by the socalled Union Territory of Chandigarh
Wednesday, October 19, 2005Sirdar Simranjit Singh Mann, President Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), deserves the grateful salute of every patriotic Punjabi for highlighting (on Sunday October 16, 2005) the issue of the theft of Sikh Homeland's river water when he warned Punjab's Amrinder Singh government against supplying arbitarily (as there is no written agreement or sanction of the Punjab State assembly) an extra 40 million gallons a day of water from the Bhakra canal, via a new pipeline, covertly constructed by the Union Territory of Chandigarh. The socalled Union territory of Chandigarh, it should be remembered has already been stealing, for the past few decades, (free of charge and without Punjab's permission) 120 million gallons of water a day, via three pipelines, from Kajoli headworks near Morinda in Punjab's Ropar district...more
Non-riparian Haryana's leadership is suddenly trying to rekindle the defunct SYL canal conspiracy in great haste
Wednesday, October 12, 2005The release, in New Delhi last week, of the World Bank's draft report on, "India's Water Economy - Bracing for a Turbulant Future," by Mr. John Briscoe, a World Bank director, which calls for compensation for those states which give water to other states in India has rekindled the SYL canal conspiracy in Haryana/Delhi, which had been pigeonholed in the prejudiced anti-Sikh, Brahmin-caste-dominated, Indian Supreme Court, for the last fifteen months - since July 12 , 2004 to be precise....more

A weak & jittery Manmohan Singh government jeopardizes the future of four million Indian expatriates in the Persian Gulf Shia-majority Arab countries and puts a major source of Oil from Shia-majority Iran at risk by voting for the anti-Iran resolution at last weeks Vienna meeting of the UNs' International Atomic Energy Agency
Wednesday, September 28, 2005he safety and well-being of the four million Indian expatriates (most of them hailing from Indias' minorities) earning good money in the Shia-majority Arab states, of the Persian Gulf, (and hundreds of thousands more working in Iran) have been put at risk, along with endangering a reliable source of oil for India, by last weeks' hasty decision of the weak, confused and jittery Indian government when its' representative, (unlike the representatives of Pakistan and Sri Lanka) joined the anti-Iran camp at a meeting of the IAEA (the UNs' Interntional Atomic Energy Agency) in Vienna, Austria...more
Doing business in India?
Wednesday, September 21, 2005A detailed study of the World Banks latest report, "Doing business in 2006," is called for, as its database on India, and 154 other countries in the world, provides indicators of the cost of doing business by identifying specific regulations that enhance or constrain business investment, productivity, and growth. These costs are going to be disastrous for India because of its poor performance so far, highlighted by the World Bank report which has ranked INDIA 116th, out of 155 countries, surveyed....more
UN's Human Development Report-2005 & World Bank's 'Doing Business in 2006' report released
Wednesday, September 14, 2005The central message from the UN's 2005 Human Development Report, (an annual 'yardstick' and a comparison of human progress in various countries of the world - from the richest to the poorest) which was released in New York, and other cities of the world, last week is, that, 'Something is rotten in the state of Denmark', (Shakespeare in Hamlet - 90) and that the much trumpeted slogan of 'India-shining' was, and is a fraud. India (unlike its South Asian neighbours, who improved their Human Development ranking this year as they did last year) is stuck at its 2003 HDI rank of 127th for the third year in a row...more
Naxalites ambush and destroy armored truck in Chhattisgurh killing 24 Indian soldiers
Wednesday, September 07, 2005The Naxalite rebellion (against India's evil Brahmin/ Bania ruling combine's social/ economic order) which has already spread, like a prairie fire, to the rural hinterland of nearly 250 districts in 15 Indian states, has shaken the Indian government, (which aspires for a world power status) with a spectacular landmine attack on Saturday, 12 miles from Bijapur in Chhattisgarh, in which 24 uniformed security personnel were killed - the largest casualty total in a Naxalite attack ever...more
India's Manmohan Singh government is making a big mistake if it thinks that it has closed the book on the November 1984 mass murder of the Sikhs with a phony August 11 apology speech in the Indian parliament
Wednesday, August 31, 2005India's Manmohan Singh government after making some phony noises, in early August 2005, in parliament after release of the Nanavati Commission's report (which was supposed to investigate the November 1984 nation-wide state-supervised mass killing of the Sikh community in which nearly ten thousand innocent Sikh, men, woman and children were put to death by mobs lead by the police and Congress party leaders) has, like its predecessor governments, gone into hibernation on this matter of vital concern to the world's 25 million strong Sikh nation - 22 million captive in India and 3 million free in the diaspora....more
Who could have arranged the 435 synchronized bomb blasts which rattled Bangladesh on August 17? INDIA!
Wednesday, August 24, 2005Last Wednesday August 17, 2005, a world record four hundred and thirty five synchronized bomb blasts ripped through 63 of Bangladesh's 64 district headquarters (and capital Dhaka) within a short span of half an hour (from 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. local time) killing two and injuring 150. All these 435 bombs detonated (just two hours after the Bangladesh Prime minister Begum Khaleda Zia left Dacca by air on a 5-day state visit to China) rattled the Bangladesh nation of 145 million. The bombers in Bangladesh meticulously left identical literature with Arabic and English writing, it is reported, near every site where the blasts took place. Obviously it was a well organized act of terrorism by some underground organizatuion the like of which the world has never seen. Or, was it state sponsored terrorism by a neighboring country of Bangladesh with a common border, like India or Myanmar?...more
How many Sikhs were killed by Hindu mobs in the Nov. 1984 pogroms? 10, 000 or 4, 000 or 2, 733 or 800?
Wednesday, August 17, 2005"O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!" wrote William Shakespeare in the Merchant of Venice. In the second sentence of his so-called 'goodly apology' speech, full of falsehoods, delivered in the Indian parliament, on Thursday August 11, India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, (an appointee of mass murderer Rajiv Gandhi's Italian widow) said, and we quote him verbatim, "Four thousand people were killed in this great national tragedy that took place in 1984." Strange words from the Prime minister of India! Official India has been claiming, for nearly eighteen years, that 2, 733 Sikhs were killed in the nation-wide 'communal riots' in November 1984 ever since the Ahuja Committee's threw up that false number, in its August 1987 report. Which of the two official figures of the dead Sikhs is correct, 4, 000 or 2, 733? When and where did Prime minister Manmohan Singh find the remains of 1, 267 murdered Sikhs he added to the official body count of 2, 733, to make it 4, 000 Sikhs killed in November 1984, a number he flouted in his horrible August 11 parliament speech?...more
The Nanavati report on the 1984 pogroms & the Mamohan Singh government's 'Action Taken Report' are a disgrace and a thumb & a finger in the collective eye of the 25 million strong Sikh nation
Wednesday, August 10, 2005The great Irish playright, critic, social reformer and philosopher, George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), known for his many truisms among other things, probably had Dr. Manmohan Singh, the 'appointed' Prime minister of India in mind, when he said that, "Titles distinguish the mediocre, embarrass the superior, and are disgraced by the inferior". Prime minister Manmohan Singh by approving the fraudulent, do-nothing 'Action Taken Report', (on Justice Nanavati's insipid recommendations on the November 1984 anti/Sikh pogroms) has disgraced the office of Prime minister and proved himself an 'inferior' individual and a Rent-a-Sikh. Will Dr. Manmohan Singh resign? He ought to!...more
Thousands of Sikhs take part in the August 01 New Delhi protest rally against increased state-sponsored Police terrorism unleashed in the Punjab since June 2005
Wednesday, August 03, 2005The Punjab Rights Forum, (made up of twenty political, human rights, farmers and religious-political groups of Punjab) has at a historic convention, held in Jammu on July 30, 2005, adopted a very forceful resolution focusing attention on the abuse of human rights of the people of Indian occupied Jammu & Kashmir a la the people of Punjab. A first!...more
Musings on the three-day Manmohan Singh visit to Washington DC
Wednesday, July 27, 2005Writing about Indian Prime minister Manmohan Singh's 3 day U.S. visit (July 18-21, 2005) , the prestigious Economist magazine of London, a 'Must Read' of everybody who is anybody in the English-speaking world, said a book in one line, in its editorial last week, which reads:- "A grand bargain but cross the hurdles before cheering." Even 'loyal' Britain has just announced that, Indo/U.S. agreements notwithstanding, its current restrictions on nuclear cooperation with India will not change...more
American Sikhs hold huge rally on July 18 outside the White House
Wednesday, July 20, 2005Over a thousand Sikh men, women and children from all over North America - Toronto, Quebec, Vancouver, New Jersey, New York, Michigan, Illinois, Virginia, Maryland, California, Washington and other states - flew/bussed into Washington DC to take part in a huge, peaceful and colorful, protest rally outside the White House...more

Arrests of Mann & other Sikh patriots were ordered by PM Manmohan Singh on June 07 and as such he will be responsible for any mishap to the Sikh prisoners
Wednesday, July 06, 2005Hundreds of party workers of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), joined by a large number of sympathetic supporters from the general public, held a noisy and angry protest, day before yesterday, outside the Ropar court complex, in the Sikh Homeland of Punjab. The angry public started protesting against the Indian rulers, when the sympathetic pro-SAD crowd realized - after hours of waiting - that the party president, Sirdar Simranjit Singh Mann, was not going to be produced by the Police in the court for the scheduled hearing on Monday July 04, 2005....more
Hundreds of US West Coast Sikh-Americans protest on Monday June 27 in San Francisco against arrests in Punjab of Dal Khalsa & SAD (A) activists & Sirdar Simranjit Singh Mann
Wednesday, June 29, 2005Hundreds of Sikh-American men, women and children from all over the U.S. West Coast, rushed to San Francisco on Monday (June 27, 2005), at short notice, to protest against the arbitrary arrest, in the Punjab, of Sikh patriots of Dal Khalsa, Shiromani Akal Dal (Amritsar) and Sirdar Simranjit Singh Mann, by the fascist Indian government which masquerades as a 'democracy' in front of the world...more
Arrest of Mann & Dal Khalsa activists in Punjab: Diaspora Sikhs plan worldwide protest rallies: Protest march held in Sangrur on June 20
Wednesday, June 22, 2005Defeat begins in the mind and that is where Prime minister Sir Winston Churchill, Britains' great World War II leader, refused to be defeated which was in sharp contrast to Marshal Petain, a genuine French hero of the first world war, who compromised - to his eternal damnation - with Germanys' Nazi evil (Hitler) by surrendering in 1940. The 25 million Sikhs refuse to be defeated...more
Indian ruling establishment unnerved: Dal Khalsa activists arrested
Wednesday, June 15, 2005The massive state-wide peaceful public display of reverence, laced with Khalistan Zindabad slogans, on the 21st anniversary of the June 1984 Indian Army attack on the Darbar Sahib, (in memory of the Sikh martyrs who laid down their lives in that period of Indian State terrorism) has created insecurity in the fascist, but wobbly, Indian establishment with the result that it is now planning repression in the Sikh homeland...more
Tens of thousands attend week long memorial services in the Sikh homeland Punjab to commemerate brutal June 1984 attack on Darbar Sahib, Amritsar
Wednesday, June 08, 2005"The demand for an independent state of Khalistan sprang back to centre-stage today after kirpan-wielding youths led by several Sikh separatist leaders raised slogans in the Golden Temple complex, vowing not to let Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale's sacrifice go waste." This is how the correspondent of the Calcutta English language newspaper, TELEGRAPH, described the scene inside the Darbar Sahib, Amritsar, on June 06, 2005...more
Remembering the June 84 Indian army attack on Darbar Sahib
Wednesday, June 01, 2005Twenty one years ago, on June 03, 1984, a savage Indian army attack was made on Sikhism's holiest site (its sanctum sanctorum), the Akal Takht Sahib, located in the Darbar Sahib complex in Amritsar, which action was synchronized with assaults on thirty seven other holy Gurdawaras located in the Sikh homeland. For us Sikhs the memory of those attacks is a 'diary' that we carry about with us...more
India must give up its nukes first before even thinking about a permanent UN Security Council seat
Wednesday, May 25, 2005The 'Brahmanical' proposal of the G-4 group of countries (India, Japan, Germany & Brazil) in the United Nations which calls for six new permanent members in an expanded UN Security Council was described as 'contrary to the UN Chater's principle of sovereign equality,' by Italy which leads the opposing "Uniting for Consensus" (UFC) group at the UN...more
INDIA ranked 53rd out of 58 emerging markets in latest World Economic Forum's 'gender gap' study
Wednesday, May 18, 2005INDIA was ranked at 53rd, near the bottom as usual, in the first ever study undertaken by the prestigious Geneva-based World Economic Forum, which quantifies the size of the "gender gap" (the extent to which women have achieved full equality with men) in 58 countries - 30 OECD and 28 other emerging markets. The Scandinavian countries were at the top of the list with Sweden leading and Egypt at the...more
What will the muscular Naxalites target next in rural India?
Wednesday, May 11, 2005While the top-heavy Indian Army (which boasts 2, 000 Generals as compared to Israel's twelve) was churning up the fertile soil of the Punjab, by engaging in a useless 10 day long exercise practicing its new 'conceptualised operational war doctrine,' (which India's nuclear-armed adversaries - China & Pakistan - will never tolerate on their territory) the muscular, can-do, Naxalite armed revolutionaries have humiliated India's 3 million strong uniformed armed forces with a brazen daylight attack last week, in...more
Non-Riparian Rajasthan, a freeloader ungrateful state, declares 'WATER WAR' on Punjab
Wednesday, May 04, 2005A secret plot to steal Punjab's life-giving river waters surfaced, on Monday May 02, 2005, when the High Court of non-riparian state of Rajasthan brazenly ruled, out of the blue, that the State of Punjab must hand over control, within 30 days, of the Ferozepur, Harike and Ropar canal headworks - all three located in East Punjab territory - to the illegal Bhakhra Beas Management Board (BBMB). Some impudicity!...more

Delhi cricket match tells us that a multicultural, independent state of Kashmir is the only solution
Wednesday, April 20, 2005In marked contrast to the chivalrous Punjabi crowd when the Pakistani cricket team thwarted a sure Indian victory in the drawn Test match played at Mohalli, the spectatators seated in the VVIP pavilions in the New Delhi cricket stadium last Sunday, indulged in Goondaism and displayed their fascist brand of patriotism, when they disrupted the Cricket match - India was about to lose despite dishonest umpiring - by throwing bottles, shoes etc., at the Pakistani fielders...more
CHINA & the U.S. pigeonhole India's UN Security Council ambitions
Wednesday, April 13, 2005The quest for a veto-wielding permanent seat at the United Nation's Security Council by oligarchic India's, Brahmin caste dominated, ruling elite reminds one of a well known 6th Century B.C. fable, "Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow." Aesop's fables titled, "The dog and the shadow." Like that proverbial dog of Aesop's, India's rulers have been grasping at the shadows at the United Nations for over a decade spending Indian treasure - bribing - and...more
Latest conspiracy on the SYL canal issue - A new canal in Haryana
Wednesday, April 06, 2005Following the rejection last month, by the new Haryana Chief minister, of the Punjab government's offer to negotiate the river water dispute (SYL) a new and very dangerous conspiracy - a typical underhanded Chanakiyan plot - is brewing in non-riparian Congress-ruled Haryana state, to steal Punjab's life-giving river waters surreptitiously. Secret plan to release extra water in the Bhakra canal...more
