Fire of '84!


In June, with all the scorching heat,
What flow in our veins!? It's the wrath in remembrance of 1984,
Even our sleep walks us down through the memories of genocide,
where our people, Oh NO!!!!!!!!!!!
Where, Dear India, Your citizens were mass murdered,
the Sikh genocide was entitled to riots, 
Where are our brothers??? why were they imprisoned without any crimes?
Who raped our sisters, who were the ones who saw it and kept mum?
Who killed the children, who burnt our fathers with flaming tires?
Why was your operation launched on 'Gurupurab'
Why weren't civilians saved by your army?





150 vs millions was the scenario there,
it was when Guru Gobind Singh's words,
"It is when I make fight one with one hundred thousand,
that will be the moment call me Guru Gobind." that came into life then,
Great martyrs of '84 fought for their rights,  
the great souls who sacrificed their lives to protect their Guru's chamber.


Who led the army walked into our Darbar sahib with shoes, who encouraged the ones smoking cigarettes in our house of worship,
who fired bullets on our Granth sahib,
who bombarded our Akal Takht.................,
To the one's agreeing over the clarification that it was done to maintain peace,
Answer me what the model of Darbar sahib doing in 1982 in Dehradun,
Have you defenders ever read The Anandpur Resolution?
Don't say it wasn't planned, don't name it as riots,
It was a pre-planned mass murder, called THE SIKH GENOCIDE.




Tanks, helicopters, bombs, army, all heavy weaponry just to fight a few Sikhs, 
Oh, Delhi, that level of fright you had,
Did you remember they were your citizens you were bombarding,
What action did you take against the one broadcasting "Khoon ka badla, Khoon se!"?
Do you not remember supporting such anti-Sikhs saying?  
Why don't you recall the turbans being targeted?
Why, why, and why, I'll keep on asking?
But Not-so-dear Delhi, you won't have any response.

Hands of politicians tainted with blood,
The pain and fire our hearts hold will never shut,
Thinking about the Sikh Genocide, I remember Jallianwala bagh,
how would have you felt, If General Dyer was rewarded after his heinous crime,
Ever thought about what pain did the mothers of Punjab bore,
seeing the murderers of their sons, the rapists of their daughters being rewarded with legislative powers,
I remember the sacrifice of Sardar Bhagat Singh,  I think back about Sardar Udham Singh,
I can feel them thinking, 
"Who sowed the seeds of hatred, we didn't shed our blood for this,
Delhi acted like a snake sleeve and didn't even hiss."



Coming down to Justice, I don't know what it looks like,
I don't see our free media covering the story of BAPU SURAT SINGH,
a firm soul on hunger strike since 2015, 
for just one cause 'To free Sikh prisoners',
I saw no one highlighting the story that the lane of 'WIDOW'S COLONY, DELHI' whispers in our ears,




38 years is not a small time,
So, here I quote,

"JUSTICE DELAYED, IS JUSTICE DENIED."








Remember,
From Guru we are, To him we are accountable,
Through his command we live, and so shall we depart.
So, when it comes down to Our life or Our Guru we shall strive back hard,
Everything is forgivable, but not is this,
WE CAN NEVER FORGET THE SUFFERINGS OF 1984,
WE BOW TO THE MARTYRS OF THE BATTLE OF AMRITSAR, AND KUDOS TO THEIR VIGOUR. 





"My head bows down in gratitude towards every person of any religious belief who raised their voice against the genocide, who helped the innocents who were being murdered, harassed."

HOLOCAUST OF 1921; NANKANA SAHIB

Image
Do you ever wonder why every tyranny; that wants to suppress the wave of Sikhi attacks gurudwaras (a Sikh place of worship)?  Long back, during the days of British rule, the Britishers were also thinking the same. The question that was raised in the British assembly itself, Which power in India is so powerful that it can be a threat to the roots of British rule?  The answer they concluded was Sikhs.   They state,  " The secret of the power of Sikhs is behind their belief in their Gurus and everything related to them. If, and only if their belief in their Guru crashes, they forget the importance of their Gurudwaras (a Sikh place of worship)  and their glorious history of martyrs. Then, they will end; else, there is no more way to end them." This is the mere reason why every tyrant targeted the gurudwaras; the source of the internal power of Sikhs. WHY OF THIS HOLOCAUST: Pondering over the reasons that laid a path towards THE GREAT HOLOCAUST that ever happened in ...

“The Heaviest Day of the Year"

Image
If they heard my silent cries, if they felt the ache behind my eyes, the intimacy of “if they knew,” a truth too deep for words to shine through— they would build the bridges, cross every tide, swim every ocean just to be by my side, just to make sure their baby girl was alright inside. Sitting alone in my dark room, a day before my birthday, this loneliness inside me grows heavier each passing day; that gut-wrenching pain whispering, if only they were here, because they’d make sure I had a new dress for my day so dear. They never plan surprises well, but they’d still find a way to bring me my favourite cake — sweet pineapple, my birthday’s ray. And the only peace my heart holds close, the only thing that makes me stay, is knowing that if they were here, everything would feel okay. The feeling of “I am someone’s baby girl,” in every tender way —that feeling, that truth, that love… I never want it to fade away. Trembling hands and shivering lips, I left from work a day before ...

One strand to other

Image
He asked me once, almost casually, “Why don’t your people cut their hair?” I paused— I looked inward before I looked at him, tracing a story older than my name.    Long roots holding my heritage uptight, the untouched legacy running through centuries' flight,        whispering stories of ancestral sacrifice all day and night. Do you know our importance? asked ,me one hair strand  I was silent- my head bowed instinctively. "We are not just threads, but your history's breath." Naive me, started to reflect upon my mother's teachings, she combed my hair and told me stories, not just stories, but the echoes of my forefathers, Who chose crowns of courage over blades of conformity. Each strand a vow, each knot a prayer, Tied in the rhythm of kirtan and care. She said, 'These are not to be trimmed or styled for show', They are the rivers through which our faith flows. Yet, outside the sheltering arms of my mother,  is the world interrogates my bein...
