A. C. Bennett Library Simon Fraser University Burnaby, BC, Canada ABSTRACT Several explanations emphasizing historical events have been advanced to explain the rise of Sikh terrorism. However, there has been little use of theories/models or quantitative empirical data to explain both the rise and decline of the Sikh terrorist movement. This thesis adapts Corrado's nomothetic anti-state terrorism model in order to explain the rise and decline of Sikh anti-state terrorism. It also incorporates empirical data to explain long term trends in Sikh violence. As well, this thesis modifies Corrado's counterterrorism model in order to increase its conceptual scope. Finally, several counterterrorism variables are identified as crucial to reducing terrorist violence. The new model is heavily influenced by counterterrorism measures implemented by the Indian government and security forces during the Punjab conflict. This new counterterrorism model identifies concrete steps that various levels of government or agencies can implement in order to prevent the rise of anti-state terrorism or reduce terrorist violence. DEDICATION Over one's life only a limited number of individuals have a significant impact upon an individual's life. I would like to thank my parents for their endless support and love. My parents who left their homeland to pursue a better life have accomplished a great deal in Canada. To my sister, my role model since childhood. We have faced many joys and many sorrows, only we will understand. To my wife, your warm smile and embrace keeps me going everyday. To my friends your critical thought and genuine support has been greatly appreciated. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisory committee for their continuous intellectual support and consistent constructive criticism. I would like to thank Dr. Raymond Corrado especially for his concise suggestions and opinions, as well as for his general concern for an individual outside of the academic environment. I would also like to thank Dr. Glackman. Our discussions on numerous topics will be cherished and his willingness to support me in my endeavours is greatly appreciated. I have not met many individuals with such a straightforward outlook on life nor an individual with such foresight as he has. His ability to talk to an individual at a personal level is his greatest asset. To Irwin Cohen, your willingness to support me in my initial months in the criminology graduate program will be remembered. Also, thank you for assisting me to pursue a thesis topic that had great interest to me personally. To my family and friends, you will always have a special place in my heart. Sometimes it's better to stand alone and be distinct, than to conform. TABLE OF CONTENTS ..

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.

  • India: the Security Situation in Punjab, Including Patterns of Violence, The
    Home > Research > Responses to Information Requests RESPONSES TO INFORMATION REQUESTS (RIRs) New Search | About RIR's | Help 23 January 2006 IND100772.E India: The security situation in Punjab, including patterns of violence, the groups involved, and the government's response (2002 - 2005) Research Directorate, Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, Ottawa Overview In its 2002 assessment of Punjab state, South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP) concluded that Punjab state "remains largely free from terrorist violence for the ninth consecutive year," explaining that "the ideology of [an independent state of] Khalistan has lost appeal among the people of Punjab, and even public calls to revive secession and terrorist violence have faded out" (SATP n.d.b). This general atmosphere is reflected in SATP's South Asia Conflict Maps for 2003 and 2004, which do not include Punjab state as an area of "conflict" (SATP n.d.c.; ibid. n.d.d.). Similarly, according to a 2003 article by a research associate with the Institute for Conflict Management (ICM) in New Delhi, India, which is "committed to the continuous evaluation and resolution of problems of internal security in South Asia" (ICM n.d.a), anti-Sikh violence in Punjab state had been "settled" (IPCS 24 June 2003). Les Nouveaux Mondes rebelles, on the other hand, reported in 2005 that the Punjab state independence conflict was "on its way to being resolved" [translation] (2005, 358). In articles focusing on the security situation in India for the time period 2002 to 2005, Jane's Intelligence Review (JIR) does not mention Punjab state. Rather, JIR articles focus on the activities of Maoist groups in northeastern and southeastern states of India, with no reference to militant groups in Punjab state (JIR Nov.

  • Vicissitudes of Gurdwara Politics
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Vicissitudes of Gurdwara Politics YOGESH SNEHI Vol. 49, Issue No. 34, 23 Aug, 2014 Yogesh Snehi ([email protected]) is a fellow at the Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla. The demand of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee to oversee the functioning of gurdwaras represents the legitimate aspirations of the Sikhs of Haryana and more significantly, inversion against almost absolute hegemony of SAD over the management of Sikh shrines through Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. The situation over the formation of Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (HSGPC) and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) dominated Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee’s (SGPC) opposition to it, has entered into a confrontational stage endangering the peace and harmony in the region. Despite the enactment of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Act 2014, the SGPC has refused to vacate the gurdwaras in Haryana for HSGPC. While Gurdwara Chhevin Patshahi at Kurukshetra becomes the centre-stage for a long-drawn battle, HSGPC has taken possession of six gurdwaras in the state (Sedhuraman 2014).[1] After clashes between the supporters of SGPC and HSGPC, the Supreme Court has ordered maintenance of status-quo and postponed the next hearing for 25 August 2014. This recent controversy has its roots both in the movement for gurdwara reforms (1920s), which sought to purge Sikhism from the polluting effects of non-Sikh practices, as well as the reorganisation of Punjab province in 1966. It also raises some fundamental issues about the residue of colonialism in the 21st century India. Historicising Gurdwara Reform More than nine decades ago in 1921, Punjab was embroiled in a controversy over misuse of the premises of Gurdwara Janam Asthan at Nankana Sahib (now in Pakistan) for narrow self-interests by the hereditary custodian Udasi Mahant Narain Das who was a Sehajdari Sikh (Yong 1995: 670).[2] Mahants had traditionally inherited the custodianship of most gurdwaras since pre-colonial Punjab[3] and had allegedly started behaving like sole proprietors.
