November 1st marks the beginning of the sikh massacre that happened 20 years ago in 1984. More then 10 thousand were hunted down, humiliated, tortured and killed in the most horrific ways all over India. The reason: because they Sikhs and wore a dastaar. Many were burnt alive, with tires around their necks and doused with gasoline and diesel. Some were burnt alive in cars. Others were stoned to death, some beaten with lathis(hard bamboo sticks). Sikh women suffered the worse fate. Sikh businesses and properties worth billions of dollars were looted and destroyed.
I don’t think these events should be called the 84 “riots,” they should be called the 84 genocide, or massacre. The events that took place were coordinated and planned to every detail. Some people even say that Indira Ghandhi was killed specifically for this very purpose by the state and beant singh and satwant singh were just blamed for it to incite hatred against Sikhs. Anyhow, everyone agrees that the massacre was planned and executed how the terrorist hindus wanted.


The police made no attempt to stop this carnage. There are instances where the police took away guns and other weapons from Sikhs who tried to defend themselves from the mobs. Once the mobs were sure that the Sikhs were defenseless, they moved in and committed great atrocities. The police helped the mobs where Singhs threatened to fight back.

The ones that knew gatka and had a 3-foot kirpan, or even a good stick fought it out and protected not only themselves, but their whole blocks. So you never know when gatka comes in handy.

We can’t forget the good hindus that helped give shelter to Sikhs during the worst of the massacre. They took great risk to protect Singhs.

There is always talk of compensating the survivors and bringing the perpetrators to justice. But nothing gets done in the largest “democracy” in the world. It’s a clear sign that the Sikhs and others are living in “Gulammi” in India.

Worse, THUGS from the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee give soroppai to the ones that carried out the massacre. Sikhs in Delhi have no shame whatsoever, they continue to elect these people to the gurdwara board.

I think every human being should remember what happened and should observe a moment of silence on November 1st at 6:00pm for one minute.

All across Canada and the US Sikhnation has organized blood donations in remembering the ones that fell victim to the genocide committed by the fascist hindu government of India. Lets remember the Shaheeds and give blood to save lives...
