Commemorating June 1984 Attack on Harmandir Sahib - Golden Temple
Remembering the thousands of loved ones lost in the massacre of innocent Sikh worshipers, the destruction of Akal Takht, seat of religious authority, the desecration of sacred Gurbani, the defacing of the Harmandir complex and surrounding pool, by Indian Government troops, June 1984.



Since 4th JUne I have been reading on the event that took place 24 years ago. Though I was not there, and may not be able to feel so much the pain and mental agony many Sikhs expericnec on that day and day after till today…I do feel so much for everyone ther and on our holiest place.
I must say, not only Sikhs, but others be it Christian, Buddisht, Jewish, Islam, Hindus….face their trying times too. I am not sure where Humanity is heading for. I pray and wish we do not instill seed of hatred or revenge in the hearts of the generation to come. Rather i feel the truth must be known to all, justice must be met. However,one needs to do it with calm, and patient so that someone like Angad Singh Ji, 13 years old, will not lose hope in pursuing for peace and understanding. Let not any take advantage of the attack to make matters worst and prevent Sikhs from fighting for their rights with patient, calm and ocnfidence. Guruji gave us bani to be strong, to overcome obstacles and fight the mental battle… I am sure many want peace and do sympathise with the Sikhs who died and are lving in pain ful memories. It is diffcult, but Bani will help us rise above the pain and sorrows and move ….
u have great passion and love , and ur blogs speak for itself. Wonderful. I am learning alot from all that you have posted and will continue to read and improve myself and my knowledge.

God will take care of those brutal people.
Sikhs believe in truthful and peaceful living.
I found some great books on action blue star
on this page http://www.jsks.co.in/sikhhistory.htm
Where were America and other so called Human right champions when genocide happened to sikhs.
Incredible site!,
I was not there at that time but my father has saw his shop was burning like paper but i really feel sad for thousand of sikh who was died and i really shame on rajeev gandhi and indian force who watching complete show of riots of sikh…the only reason is that the two body gards as per news which killed indra gandhi are sikh for that you can blame millions of sikh and killing them what is god grave rajeev gandhi who issue order to shot he sikh people has died in plane crash .
and even you saw manmohan singh has leading the country instead of sonia gandhi whatever reason whether sonia gandhi has help manmohan singh to become a prime minister but all god grace
HINDUS got Hindustan……..Muslims got Pakistan,,,,,,What does SIKHs got ? = Sikhs got the film SING IS KING ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……..INDIA IS FOR HINDUS
India is for Hindus and Sikhs as there is no difference between the two. Read Sikh history and you will come to know. You cannot separate two brothers. Can you ?
u parshant u forgot that u r on earth just bcuz of sikhs.agar sikh guru tegbhadur sahib g shaheedi na dete to teri puri hindu cumminity india to kya earth par hi na hoti……….mind it…………
Tum saloo ko ase naho hum Gaddar kahte hain , tum jante ho Hindu ka matlab kaya hota hai Turki me – Chor , and beiymaan , tum to apne maa ko nahi bakshte
well i think prashant is a person who doesn’t even know what the people are discussing here and leaving his senseless answer.. SHAME ON U prashant, this condition of india is bcoz of the people like u got it, no need of your silly comments, so jst back of..
Don’t worry pershant , for your kind information not only INDIA but Whole of the Pakistan, half of Russia, Thialand , Combodia , Indonesia, Malashia,Sri Lanka were for Hindus.
But because of your cowardness your fore-mothers were raped, your fore-fathers were insulted and forcibly converted to Islam, Your daughters were sold in Gazni Market (go and read history that shows how brave your forefathers were)and practically all the muslims living in India, Pakistan, Bangla-Desh and Sri Lanka are your converted Hindu greedy brothers.
At the end I would recommend you to find and read a book written by an Arabic Muslim scholar where he confessed how Sikhs halted the storm of Islam that engulfed the above mentioned countries and saved this India for your very very brave Hindu Hindostanis so that today you can make joke of others.
I am proud to be Indian and Sikh and I am not offended by your comment because I believe this is your AUKAT and you cannot think better than that.
U r right manpreet. People like prashant r disgracing india. I am not a sikh but i have read history & know the contribution of this comunity. Don’t fight with each other. Spread love.
Pershant u r a [EDITED]. Hindustan of Hindus, okay . So what your father manmohan Singh is doing there …… PM of india is sikh mate….. Don’t be silly [EDITED]……All are equal…….ppl like you don’t like wellbeing of others. But I don’t care might………[EDTED]
Feel shame to called myself hindu after what so called bolldy hindu did to inncoent Sikhs in 1984.
pershant, teri ma ki chut jab pata na ho to apna ganda mu nai kholna chaiye. Thank you manpreet singh ji aena nu mo tod jawab den waste.
All above discussion are ok, we do well for saving our country as well as the name of Hindu community otherwise muslims finish hindu community (few hindu people know that). Beacuse of giving so much to this country the people, country and congress govt. at that time give us a bad days which is history in the world now and every body knows the role of the govt and rajiv gandhi. But the thing is now , can we catch that culprits or the people get justice. Now we have to join together and tell the jurisdication of this country the people sitting on high seats are culprits which still gets bail and other advantages.
We are Sikhs, India is our country. Somebody tell me who is sikh, why it is born and what purpose and what are we doing right know … ki sab Guru ji di sikhya nu bhul gaye unhane ne tah Sarbans hi waar dita. kine hi mava ne apne bacheyan de totte totte karvaye ek inqualab laya humanity de waste taki jado singh khada hove tah duji kom de bande sukh naal so sakan Guru ji ne ek aheja singh banaya jo jaat paat mera tera duniya de bharam toh door rave te aaj asi ki kar rahe hun fashion de waste sikhi nu bhul gaye shame on us …………………..
you are right gurinder every sikh youth are doing this we should feel shame on us. or parshant tu history padh tere ko sab pata chal jayega ki where r sikhs? n where r hindus? u idiot do hi country hai hindustan n pakistan, hindustan hai to iska matlab yeh nahi hai ki wo hinduon ki hai yeh sab ki country hai,pakistan mein sirf pakistani hi nahi rehte wahan hamara desh ki hi kuch indians bhi rehte hai.bakwas chizo se fursat mile to history bhi padh leo gadhe.aur haan hinduon ko hindustan sardar bhagat singh ne hi dilwaya tha so called hindustani parshant.
One stupid comment by someone calling himself ‘pershant’ apparently a Hindu …or could be from any community trying to stir s**t. But look at the responses to that innocuous comment!! Whole Hindu community branded “cowards, greedy, slaves, etc.” More profanities would have followed but for strict administrators.
Now, being a Punjabi myself I am embarrassed once again by our attitude towards history. we (esp younger generation of Tat Khalsa elements living overseas) tend to learn history from Khallistani websites and other media of folklore.
Where and how do i start correcting the incorrect concepts; i am overwhelmed. ok, let me try to correct this jibe about Hindu (my) forefathers.
even a casual student of history would tell you one simple facts:
1. PUNJAB HAS BEEN UNDER THE MUSLIM (AND BRITISH) RULE FOR LONGER THAN ANY OTHER MODERN INDIAN STATE.
what does it say about ‘your’ (Hindu hating sick morons) mothers and sisters being raped by the Muslims who are ‘your’ brethren now?
If my forefathers were taken to gazni as slaves….why YOUR forefathers were left alone?
When my forefathers were converted, where were your forefathers and why they were spared? I am not a person who believes in caste system but as a historical fact, only so-called low castes were spared by the invading muslims who put to sword every brahmin and Rajput they could get hold of. That explains the low percentage of these two ‘castes’ in northern India.
2. The other moronic, tat khalsa supremacist concept is : Sikhs (Khalsas) saved Hinduism. Thats truly laughable. have a look at the Indian map, how do you think a small community/sect fighting for its own survival in a crumbling Mughal raj (thanks to Maratha and rajput resistance) would have saved Hindus in Say Bengal, Tamil nadu, Kerala, orissa, etc? have a look at Maratha empire map and you would go absolutely green (like your Muslim brethren) with jealousy.
3. Someone has quoted an anonymous Arab scholar saying Khalsas saved India and Hinduism. i am pretty sure anon Arab scholar would remain anonymous and WHY THE HELL YOU NEED SOMEONE SITTING THOUSANDS OF KMs FROM PUNJAB TEACH YOU ABOUT THE HISTORY OF YOUR OWN LAND?
can go on for ever mate, blasting these sicko myths around which your hollow supremacism is based.
more laters…if a loony ‘jatt da puttar’ dared to provoke my fury once again.
Would use the same salutation as used by Bhagat singh;
VANDE MATRAM!

just tell me one thing, when a sikh/hindu dies why do they visit pehowa?? there are no customary difference at the time of marriage except a few?
i believe every one is equal in the eyes of god.
you follow your religion cos you are born in it. study religions with open mind and you will find that it is better to become copppernicks and serve poor people cos thats the ultimate thing. show light to persons who are in dark.
I respect and bow down in front of Sikh people sacrifice for India as a country. I did, do and always will have respect for this community. But, I am sure that this community has done all these sacrifices to protect india from outsiders and internal terror. If that was the dream, then why khalistan ? still i am not against anyones personal mentality. Just want to share a feeling, when there is a single person in a family is of bad kind, it doesnt mean that we should distroy the whole family. engerness was never and will never be a solution of anything. India is a country known for its diffrent cultures and tradition, please dont make it a country like others (you know what i mean). Walking together against other will make us strong, not alone. I am sure all GREAT SIKH PEOPLE didnt sacrifice their life for creating issues between sikh or any other community, they sacrificed for one country. I love my country and i love all religion in this country.
ALSO FOR PERSHANT, U HAVE MADE ALL OTHER COMMUNITIES SHAME BY BEING SO DISRESPECTFUL TO OUR OWN PEOPLE.
prashant k bachhe tujhe kabi bakwas bato se fursat mile to history padh lena sab pata chal jayega kya kis k liye hai or sikho ne kya kya kiya hai tum kutto k liye pehle padh le hamare bare me bad me kuch bolna samjha…………
