Dhillon Marg, Bhupinder Nagar PATIALA ^^^^^ Publisher's Note Nirankari movement was founded as renaissance of Sikh religion but lately an off-shoot of Nirankaris had started ridiculing Sikh Religion and misinterpreting Sikh scriptures for boosting up the image of their leader who claims to be spiritual head; God on Earth and re-incarnate of Shri Rama, Shri Krishna, Hazrat Mohammed, Holy Christ and Sikh Gurus. The followers of other religions did not react to this blasphemy. The Sikhs, however, could not tolerate the irreverance towards Sikh Gurus, Sikh religion and Sikh scrip­ tures and protested against it. This pseudo God resented the protest and became more vociferous in his tirade against Sikhs, their Gurus and their Scriptures. His temerity resulted in the massacre of Sikhs at Amritsar on 13th April, 1978 (Baisakhi day) at Kanpur on 26th September, 1978 and again in Delhi on 5th, November 1978. This booklet is published to apprise the public of the back ground of Nirankaris, the off-shoot of Nirankaris, the cause of controversy and the aftermath. It contains three articles : one, by Dr. Ganda Singh, a renowned historian, second, by Dr. Fauja Singh of Punjabi University, Patiala. and third, by S. Kapur Singh, formerly of I.C.S. cadre. A copy of the report of the Enquiry Committee on the Happen­ ings at Kanpur, appointed by the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee whose members were S.

  • The Institution of the Akal Takht: the Transformation of Authority in Sikh History
    religions Article The Institution of the Akal Takht: The Transformation of Authority in Sikh History Gurbeer Singh Department of Religious Studies, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521, USA; [email protected] Abstract: The Akal Takht is considered to be the central seat of authority in the Sikh tradition. This article uses theories of legitimacy and authority to explore the validity of the authority and legitimacy of the Akal Takht and its leaders throughout time. Starting from the initial institution of the Akal Takht and ending at the Akal Takht today, the article applies Weber’s three types of legitimate authority to the various leaderships and custodianships throughout Sikh history. The article also uses Berger and Luckmann’s theory of the symbolic universe to establish the constant presence of traditional authority in the leadership of the Akal Takht. Merton’s concept of group norms is used to explain the loss of legitimacy at certain points of history, even if one or more types of Weber’s legitimate authority match the situation. This article shows that the Akal Takht’s authority, as with other political religious institutions, is in the reciprocal relationship between the Sikh population and those in charge. This fluidity in authority is used to explain and offer a solution on the issue of authenticity and authority in the Sikh tradition. Keywords: Akal Takht; jathedar; Sikh institutions; Sikh Rehat Maryada; Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC); authority; legitimacy Citation: Singh, Gurbeer. 2021.

  • Sikh Ethnonationalism and Its Contested Articulation During Militancy in Punjab
    25 Kuldip Singh: Sikh Ethnonationalism Sikh Ethnonationalism and Its Contested Articulation During Militancy in Punjab Kuldip Singh Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar _______________________________________________________________ This paper examines the evolution and construction of Sikh ethnonationalism from the beginnings of the faith to the period of militancy in Punjab in the 1980s/90s. While the militants enjoyed great community support immediately after Operation Bluestar and through the late 1980s, their version of Sikh ethnonationalism failed to resonate sustainably with the Sikh masses. In this paper, I highlight how militant violence pivoted from being politically oriented to being more indiscriminant in its targets. The Sikh masses, who eventually became victims of this violence, saw it as being at odds with Sikh values. I argue that this was the crucial reason for the militant version of Sikh ethnonationalism waning, and ultimately failing. This argument is demonstrated by examining the writings and editorials of various Sikh leaders, including some militant leaders who criticized the eventual degradation of militant violence and raised questions about its congruence with historical Sikh values and ethnonationalism. ________________________________________________________________ Introduction This paper examines the evolution and construction of Sikh ethnonationalism from the beginnings of the faith to the period of militancy in Punjab in the 1980s/90s. Specifically, it tries to answer why the particular construction of Sikh ethnonationalism espoused by the militants during the separatist movement of the 1980s/90s eventually failed to resonate with the Sikh masses of Punjab. This is an important question, considering the fact that the militants appeared to have significant community support immediately after Operation Bluestar and through the late-1980s.

The so-called Nirankari Chief Shri Gurbachan k Singh, in a camouflage Sikh attire, and his domestic Nirankari Mandal, headquartered in Delhi-9, have been, for quite sometime past, indulging in publicly insulting, ridiculing and downgrading the Sikh religion, the Sikh Gurus, certain time-honoured Sikh personages, usages and traditions, as well as their eternally sacred WORD - INCARNATE ENLIGHTENER, Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Despite a number of earlier angry, non-violent protestations of Sikhs against this vulgar and irreligious conduct of his, on more than half a dozen different occasions in Punjab and outside, the ‘Nirankari baba’ has been pursuing this irresponsible practice as vigorously as ever. At last he grew bold enough to beard the lion in his own den. On the 13th April, 1978 on the historical Baisakhi festival, when more or less a million Sikhs gather from far and near to pay homage at the Golden Temple, Amritsar, Gurbachan Singh thought expedient to convene his so-called Nirankari Samagam and repeat his usual blasphemous blurtings and his claim to be I the exclusive supreme modern avtar of God of to-day, over the heads of Guru Nanak-Guru Gobind Singh and all other time- honoured oriental avtars and sematic prophets.

  • India – Researched and Compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 24 August 2012
    India – Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 24 August 2012 Information on a group called Babar Khalsh: their history, aims, objectives and whether the group is political, religious, or criminal. Treatment of Babar Khalsh members by the government or society. A terrorist organisation profile published by the US government affiliated National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), in a paragraph headed “Founding Philosophy”, refers to a group called Babbar Khalsa International as follows: “Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) is an organization of Sikh separatists associated with a wave of assassinations and terrorist attacks in the 1980s. The group's primary goal is the establishment of an independent Sikh country of unspecified size in northwestern India. Group statements and media sources usually refer to this proposed state as ‘Khalistan.’” (National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) (undated) Terrorist Organization Profile: Babbar Khalsa International (BKI)) A paragraph headed “Current Goals” states: “Babbar Khalsa seeks a sovereign state for Sikhs carved out of northern India. Punjab province and surrounding majority Sikh regions will serve as the basis for this state, but BKI does not articulate precise plans for the geographical, political, economic, or religious characteristics of its desired Khalistan.” (ibid) A country advice document published by the Australian Government – Refugee Review Tribunal, in a paragraph headed “Overview of the Babbar Khalsa International”, states: “The Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) is a Sikh separatist paramilitary group which has existed since the early 1980s. The BKI, like other Sikh militant groups, advocates an independent state for Sikhs, to be known as Khalistan.

  • The Shiromani Akali Dal and Emerging Ideological Cleavages in Contemporary Sikh Politics in Punjab: Integrative Regionalism Versus Exclusivist Ethnonationalism
    143 Jugdep Chima: Ideological Cleavages in Sikh Politics The Shiromani Akali Dal and Emerging Ideological Cleavages in Contemporary Sikh Politics in Punjab: Integrative Regionalism versus Exclusivist Ethnonationalism Jugdep Singh Chima Hiram College, USA ________________________________________________________________ This article describes the emerging ideological cleavages in contemporary Sikh politics, and attempts to answer why the Shiromani Akali Dal has taken a moderate stance on Sikh ethnic issues and in its public discourse in the post-militancy era? I put forward a descriptive argument that rhetorical/ideological cleavages in contemporary Sikh politics in Punjab can be differentiated into two largely contrasting poles. The first is the dominant Akali Dal (Badal) which claims to be the main leadership of the Sikh community, based on its majority in the SGPC and its ability to form coalition majorities in the state assembly in Punjab. The second pole is an array of other, often internally fractionalized, Sikh political and religious organizations, whose claim for community leadership is based on the espousal of aggressive Sikh ethnonationalism and purist religious identity. The “unity” of this second pole within Sikh politics is not organizational, but rather, is an ideological commitment to Sikh ethnonationalism and political opposition to the moderate Shiromani Akali Dal. The result of these two contrasting “poles” is an interesting ethno-political dilemma in which the Akali Dal has pragmatic electoral success in democratic elections

  • THE GLOBALIZATION of IDENTITY POLITICS : the SIKH EXPERIENCE1 Laurent GAYER2 England Has Always Been a Breeding Ground for Our R
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF IDENTITY POLITICS : THE SIKH EXPERIENCE1 Laurent GAYER2 England has always been a breeding ground for our revolutionists (…) What would Pandit Nehru have been without Harrow ? Or Ghandiji without his formative experiences here ? Even the Pakistan idea was dreamt up by young radicals at college in what we then were asked to think of as the Mother Country. Now that England’s status has declined, I suppose it is logical that the quality of the revolutionists she breeds has likewise fallen. The Kashmiris ! Not a hope in hell. And as for these Khalistan types, let them not think that their evil deed has brought their dream a day closer. Salman Rushdie, “Chekov and Zulu”, in East, West3. 1 This paper is the result of a field work of two weeks in the UK (Southall and London) and one month in Canada (Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver), during which I interviewed extensively thirty individuals. The two thirds of my interlocutors were political activists involved in the Khalistan Council, the Khalistan Commando Force (KCF), the Dal Khalsa, the World Sikh Organization (WSO) and the International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF). My other interviewees were involved in anti-racist groups (Southall Monitoring Group), community newspapers (Desh Pardesh in Southall, Punjabi Times in Surrey, B.C.), religious organizations (the Khalsa Diwan Society, managing the prestigious Ross Street gurdwara in Vancouver; the Sikh Missionary Society and the Trust in charge of the Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara, in Southall) and youth groups (Ontario Sikh Students Association, in Mississauga, Ontario). I also interviewed the most popular Sikh lawyer of Canada (Palbinder Kaur Shergill) and three young Sikh students who had just taken part in a charity bike ride from Birmingham to London.

    1 # siVgUr pqsAid @ SANT JARNAIL SINGH BHINDRANWALE - LIFE, MISSION, AND MARTYRDOM by Ranbir S. Sandhu ***** May 1997 ***** Sikh Educational and Religious Foundation, P.O. Box 1553, Dublin, Ohio 43017 SANT JARNAIL SINGH BHINDRANWALE'S LIFE, MISSION AND MARTYRDOM ***** 0 INTRODUCTION In June 1984, the Indian Government sent nearly a quarter million troops to Punjab, sealed the state from the rest of the world, and launched an attack, code-named 'Operation Bluestar', on the Darbar Sahib complex in Amritsar and over forty other gurdwaras1 in Punjab. Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, head of the Damdami Taksaal2, and many students and teachers belonging to the Taksaal, perished in the conflict. Several thousand men, women and children, mostly innocent pilgrims, also lost their lives in that attack. This invasion was followed by 'Operation Woodrose' in which the army, supported by paramilitary and police forces, swept through Punjab villages to eliminate 'anti-social elements'. These 'anti-social' elements were identified as Amritdharis3. Instructions given to the troops at that time stated4: 'Some of our innocent countrymen were administered oath in the name of religion to support extremists and actively participate in the act of terrorism. These people wear a miniature kirpan5 round their neck and are called Amritdhari ... Any knowledge of the 'Amritdharis' who are dangerous people and pledged to commit murders, arson and acts of terrorism should immediately be brought to the notice of the authorities. These people may appear harmless from outside but they are basically committed to terrorism. In the interest of all of us their identity and whereabouts must always be disclosed.' These instructions constituted unmistakably clear orders for genocide of all Sikhs formally initiated into their faith.
