 PRESS  RELEASE

A panicky reaction by Indian rulers to Kosovo independence & 'Raj Karega Khalsa'

Washington DC, Thursday March 6, 2008:  The appeal in our column on KOSOVO last month (dated 20 Feb. 2008) that the world's 26 million Sikhs ought to unite in an effort to give meaning to the Sikh prayer of ‘Raj Karega Khalsa’,  (>   /home/khalistancalling/2008/february20.aspx   <) which every Sikh repeats in every Gurdwara every day, by creating ‘facts on the ground’, has shaken up India's insecure Brahmin/Bania ruling elite from the Indian Prime minister downwards.

A former Indian diplomat-turned-journalist (and Honorary Visiting Professor in the RAW-financed Think Tank Center For Policy Research, New Delhi) Gopalapuram Parthasarathy, who is widely known as a 'Hindutva Hawk' has turned 'Dove' in awe of the Sikh  daily prayer 'Raj Karega Khalsa'. In his Op-Ed published today ( 6 March, 2008) in the Hindutva-dominated Chandigarh newspaper TRIBUNE, headlined, 'Kosovo and after'  he takes shelter behind so-called ‘secularism’ (>  http://www.tribuneindia.com/2008/20080306/edit.htm#4 <) when he writes that, “The head of the US-based so-called "Khalistan Affairs Center", Dr Amarjit Singh, welcomes the developments in Kosovo and proclaims that India's views are colored by the "aspirations of a number of 'nations' like Kashmir, Assam and Nagalim in general and Khalistan in particular". India is a pluralistic, secular country, which barely a generation ago faced the trauma of partition driven by religion. It has no option but to join Russia and other like-minded countries in denying legitimacy to separatism in Kosovo.” India, some secular country!

The power of the Sikh daily prayer of “Raj Karega Khalsa’, and the panic it has created in the insecure Brahmin/Bania-dominated Indian ruling elite, (which struts around in palaces built by the British on stolen Sikh lands in New Delhi) is also evident for all to see in a BBC report posted today (6 March, 08) headlined, "India PM warns of Sikh militancy." The BBC report claims that (>  http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/south_asia/7281371.stm    <) Indian Prime minister Manmohan Singh, in an unprecedented  letter addressed to the President of the SGPC, Avtar Singh Makkar, claims that, ‘Sikh separatists based outside India are trying to revive militancy in the state of Punjab. The government and our agencies have credible information of efforts being made by extremist groups to revive militancy in Punjab." Some credible information!
