  • Democracy and Minorities in India: the Sikh Community
    Democracy and Minorities in India: The Sikh Community Abdul Majeed* Democracy and Minorities in India: The Sikh Community Abstract The Sikhs are an important community in India. Despite being a religious minority it contributes significantly to India’s state system and society. This paper examines the socio-political position of the Sikhs in India. How their religious identity developed and how did they perform in history. They ruled the Punjab foe a longtime and engaged in a constant struggle to protect and promote their religious and cultural identity in India. Key Words: National Commission for Minorities (NCM), UN Declaration of Minorities, Darbaar Sahib, The Golden Temple, Special Agent Services (SAS) Introduction India is described as “a constitutional liberal democracy — a political system marked not only by free and fair elections but also by rule of law, a separation of powers, and the protection of basic liberties of speech, assembly, religion and property” (Zakria, 2004). However, in practice, India has not been able to professed claims. Democracy has continued to work in India but its quality has been poor. A major test of democracy is the treatment it extends to religious minorities and other disadvantaged section of population. India, a predomintly Hindu society, has several religious minorities. According to the 2011 census, the total population is 1.21 billion. According to the 2001 census, the latest year for which disaggregated statistics have been released, Hindu 80.5 percent, Muslims 13.4 percent, Christians 2.3 percent, and Sikhs 1.9 percent of the population. Groups that together constitute less than 1 percent of the populations include Buddhists, Jains, Parsis (Zoroastrians), Jews, and Bahais.

Impunity means the impossibility of holding perpetrators accountable because they are shielded by law or protected by political institutions and powers. Ensaaf’s cutting edge advocacy is implemented though four coordinated programs: Community Organizing to mobilize survivors to become active participants for change; Documentation & Education to expose violations and counter official denials; Legal Advocacy to remove perpetrators from power through legal accountability; and United Nations advocacy to build international consensus, support and pressure to end impunity for mass state crimes in India.
