The Sikh Bulletin

The Sikh Bulletin &`gx 535 February 2004 


the blood of Sikh masses through a system of bribery and 

corruption. As then and now they employ threats of 

excommunication to terrorize Sikhs who dare to question 

their hypocrisy and out right dishonesty. 

The succession of these so-called Jathedars or high priests 

since 1984 brought nothing 5ut henchmen of the leader of the 

Akali Dal Party. A slight mistake by these puppets in catering 

to the wishes of the political boss gets them packing and 

banished. The present Mukh Granthi at Akal Takht, Joginder 

Singh Vedanti, has topped the list in his willingness to 

become the tool in the hands of various interest groups to 

terrorize their opponents by summoning to Akal Takht and 

declaring them guilty of unknown religious offenses while 

honoring others who show blatant disregard to panth 

approved rahit maryada. The Sikh Bulletin declared him a 

Trojan horse at the time of his appointment as Mukh Granthi 

at Akal Takht. His tenure has been marred by scandals 

caused by his excessive greed, partisanship, and hypocrisy. 

Such actions can only be attributed to a person of low moral 

character and not from the one holding an esteemed religious 

position. 

Recent excommunication of a pious Sikh writer of at least a 

dozen books on gurmat, Gurbax Singh Kala afgana of British 

Columbia Canada, is the most condemned decision of his 

tenure. He was declared guilty for his opinions calling Guru 

Granth and Guru Panth as supreme and rejecting the spurious 

books so called " Dasam Granth, and Gurbilas Patshahi 6" 

which are championed by the priests and fake sant babas as 

true renderings of Sikh principles and ethical values. 

Once again to serve his political masters he has summoned 

Sardar Joginder Singh, chief editor of a popular magazine 

'Spokesman'. He is accused of criticism of the decision of the 

Jathedar to excommunicate Sardar Kala Afgana. This issue of 

the Sikh bulletin has numerous articles and letters from Sikhs 

from all over the world protesting and condemning this latest 

outrage of this unscrupulous granthi. 

Anti gurmat traditions carried over from the Mahant period 

are considered supreme and cannot be violated. Thus Sikh 

women are denied right to perform kirtan and seva at Darbar 

Sahib in transgression of specific injunctions of Guru Granth 

Sahib ji. Professing reverence to spurious books and 

installing them equal to Guru Granth Sahib at two of the five 

Sikh religious Takhts is wrong. To this date Jathedar of Akal 

Takht or the president ofSGPC, two premier institutions of 

the Sikhs, have not uttered a word of protest. Further none of 

the leaders of the many Akali Dal parties have protested to 

the Takhts concerned or sent any letter of complaint to the 

Akal Takht. Forgive me for calling it Sikhi by Hypocrisy.

ON FUNDAMENTALISTS AND FANATICS 

At least since the Islamic Mullahs overthrew the Shah of 

Iran, and even more so during the past year, there has been a 

rising crescendo of the talking heads on television telling us 

of the dangers of religious fundamentalism. They warn us 

and alarm us: the rising tide of fundamentalism poses a 

danger to human survival and to civilized society, as we 

know it. Religious fundamentalists all over the globe are 

fighting to carve new boundaries and new nations, and they 

stand ready to destroy anyone who blocks their way. The 

religious fundamentalists, it is alleged, are the least tolerant 

of any people. 

But the media pundits talk primarily of Islamic 

fundamentalism and its intolerance. They rarely mention 

Christian fundamentalists, who are also intolerant of all 

other religions, and even of Christians who do not believe in 

their particular brand of Christianity. This differential and 

deferential treatment often stems from the fact that many of 

the pundits identify personally with the Christian 

fundamentalists. In addition, the Christian fundamentalists 

seem to operate primarily in countries with nominally 

secular governments and thus can do only limited harm to 

government and society as a whole. 

History tells us that this, of course, was not always the 

case, and even now such obsessively single-minded 

believers are not entirely harmless. The television pundits 

rightly condemn the second-class place of women in 

orthodox Muslim society and the precarious existence 

therein of all non-Muslims, as well as the lack of free 

discussion and debate in such closed orthodoxies. 

What these pundits forget is that the Inquisition 

stemmed from dogmatic Christians. Lynching of Blacks was 

often done in the name of Christianity, and that was not so 

long ago. I remember Cardinal Spellman painting the sign 

of the cross on the helmets of young American soldiers on 

their way to Vietnam. Even today the debate over a 

woman’s right to abortion usually gets obscured in religious 

doctrine and dogma. Keep in mind that even in these days of 

enlightenment President Bush uses American financial 

might to impose his religious beliefs on poorer nations when 

he vetoes any funding for programs that might provide 

education or technology for birth control. 

My purpose here is to cast a jaundiced eye on the 

whole concept of fundamentalism. To me the examples of 

Islamic and Christian intransigence that I have cited are not 

really examples of religious fundamentalism at all but of 

fanatic intolerance. 

Literally, fundamentalism means to be in touch with 

the basics, the fundamentals — in this case, of a religion. I 

think such fundamentalism should be the minimum 

expected from anyone who professes a religion, be it Islam, 

Christianity, Sikhism or any one of the wide varieties of 

religious experience. I am an anatomist so, one hopes, I 

know the fundamentals of anatomy. If I am a Sikh, I should 

be similarly comfortable with the fundamentals of my faith. 

The Sikh Center Roseville, 201 Berkeley Ave, Roseville, CA. 95678 2


Once a person rejects the fundamentals, one cannot in good 

faith remain a part of the whole, the institution. That is my 

position. I could hardly function as an anatomist or be able to 

assert the right to call myself one if I were no longer in 

command of the fundamentals of anatomy. Being a Sikh, 

Hindu or Christian seems no different in concept or in 

principle. 

Thus, fundamentalism is not and cannot be inherently 

evil. It is the “talibanized” version of fundamentalism that is 

evil. Excessive enthusiasm for one’s own belief and the 

diminution and demeaning of the viewpoint of other people 

to the point of denying them the right to believe in their own 

way — that would certainly be evil. And that is fanaticism, 

which would and should be sinful under any circumstances, 

in any place at any time. 

Contrary to what we usually think, not all fanatics 

necessarily believe in religion of any sort. When we look at 

religions of the world, we often recognize the good that 

religions have done by fostering and awakening the humanity 

in humans. More often, however, we see the injustice that has 

been committed in the name of religion. The crusades, the 

jihads, the Inquisition and the more recent pogroms of the 

Nazis bear witness to the inhumanity people express in the 

name of religion. Do not forget to add to this incomplete 

litany of religious intolerance the genesis and history of the 

long-running troubles in Ireland and the Arab-Jewish 

imbroglio. 

Hinduism is generally thought of as a historically 

tolerant faith that is only recently becoming viciously 

intolerant of others. I should add that Hindu intolerance in the 

name of religion is not new but had merely been held in 

check for the many centuries that Hindus were powerless 

either under the Muslims or under the British. History 

suggests that St. Thomas, who took Christianity to India 

perhaps around A.D. 52, died at the hands of fanatical 

Brahmins. Similar minds decimated Buddhism in India, the 

land of its birth. We now remember the systematically 

repressive and genocidal policies of the secular Indian 

government against the Muslims, Sikhs and Christians, as 

well as against people of other minority religions over the 

past two decades and even longer. 

We often think that perhaps many of these pogroms 

and policies against religious people stemmed directly from 

or were a reaction to the fanatical beliefs and practices of the 

believers. Beware of those who hold too tightly to their 

religions, conventional wisdom warns us, for they are 

fanatics and least tolerant of diversity. But not all fanatics are 

believers in religions, as we know them. That’s why I use the 

example of India, where secular principles are enshrined in 

the constitution. 

Look at the irony of another situation — it would be 

delicious were it not so illogically and fanatically cruel. 

In Turkey today, a Muslim woman walking down the 

street who wears a hijab (scarf covering her head, neck and 

shoulders), as required by her religion, would invite 

governmental hostility. But if the same Muslim woman 

appeared on the street in Iran without her hijab, she would 

also face immediate legal reprisals. Much of the world 

probably wouldn’t care either way. Turkey is a secular 

country while Iran is governed strictly by Islamic law. 

It would be illegal in Turkey for a family to hold in its 

home an Islamic religious service officiated by a cleric. If 

Sikhs build a gurdwara in Kuwait, it would be closed by 

order of the government; Sikhs can, however, practice their 

faith within their own home, even in Kuwait. Turkey is 

secular, Kuwait is Islamic, but is one more fanatical Is one 

less tolerant than the other 

The policies of Iran, Kuwait and many other Islamic 

countries ostensibly are derived from their religion; those of 

Turkey seem to stem from a rejection not of just one 

religion — Islam — but effectively from a rejection of all 

religions. Turkey is aggressively secular. But what is 

secularism 

Is “secularism” to be the new religion replacing the 

older religions with the support of the government Can 

rejection of religion itself become a religion However 

illogical, that seems to be the intent in Turkey. Does 

rejection of religion promote or guarantee tolerance Not 

necessarily, as evidenced by the case of Turkey. 

A government that is truly representative of all the 

people can and should be determinedly fanatical in 

requiring that all its citizens uphold the laws of society. The 

laws of a society primarily and minimally require its citizens 

to conduct their lives such that they respect the rights, 

persons and property of their neighbors. One of these rights 

is to be able to live one’s life according to one’s faith. But to 

enforce a religion of secularism means to deny people the 

right to believe and practice their religion, even if it is not in 

conflict with laws that protect them or their neighbors. To 

require from citizens a denial of their own beliefs makes 

secularism a religion and its proponents and prophets 

undeniably fanatics. I give you the example of communism 

as an example of non-traditional religion. 

It seems to me that forcing such aggressive secularism 

as a belief system provides an excellent working definition 

and model of fanaticism. Lest one think that this is 

separation of politics and religion, I emphasize that this is 

not at all inherent in the concept of separation of church and 

state. That concept means only that the state will not 

establish, promote or hinder any religion. If clearly thought 

through, that concept would reject the words “In God We 

Trust” on the currency or “One nation under God” in the 

Pledge of Allegiance. It would also allow an Orthodox Jew 

or a turbaned Sikh to serve in the armed services of the 

United States without hindrance. 

There is no virtue in being nominally secular as India 

claims to be or aggressively so as Turkey is or as the Soviet 

Union used to be. The point is for individual citizens to be 

fundamentalist in the true meaning of the word — that is, 

remaining faithful to the fundamentals of their belief — 



while remaining tolerant of the different beat of the distant 

drummer that their neighbor chooses to walk to on his or her 

religious path. It is in this latter condition that India and 

Turkey seem to be critically deficient. 

This principle exactly is the bedrock of Sikh belief: to 

believe and practice one’s faith by understanding its 

fundamentals but never to enforce it on others. History tells 

us that Aurungzeb, the 17th-century Muslim ruler of India, 

declared Islamization of the country as his national policy 

goal. Hindus were converted by force. At that time, the Sikh 

Guru, Tegh Bahadur, at the entreaty of Hindus, chose to 

accept martyrdom to insure that Hindus could practice their 

own faith as they deemed fit. He did so not because he did 

not value the fundamentals of his own Sikh belief, which was 

not Hinduism. His sacrifice was a testament to the 

fundamentals of his own Sikh faith - tolerance of the 

different views of others and helping them chart their own 

destiny, as they saw fit. 

The approach of all Sikh Gurus, from Guru Nanak to 

Guru Gobind Singh, was similar. They taught a message that 

did not diminish or demean others. They considered no one 

person or his religion to be the enemy. They fought battles, 

yet were equally willing to welcome the opponent as a friend. 

The lives of Guru Hargobind and Guru Gobind Singh are a 

testament to this. History tells us that in the many battles that 

the Gurus fought, some of their allies were Hindu; others 

were Muslim. At times some enemies were Hindu, while 

others were Muslim. Through all this the Gurus never forced 

their beliefs on any people, subjugated others or conquered 

any territory. For almost half a century until the arrival of the 

British in the mid 19th century, Sikhs dominated north India; 

the ruler, Ranjit Singh, ruled justly with an emphasis on 

tolerance to ensure that the fundamentals of all faiths were 

respected. 

Here I must offer an apologia of sorts. What I have 

recounted is Sikh history. In the past two decades or so, 

whether in response to the political realities in India where 

the Sikhs are under siege or as fallout from fundamentalists 

and fanatics from around the world, Sikhism, too, has 

produced its share of talibanized Sikhs who are intolerantly 

fanatical. Assuredly, there is no way to justify or garner 

support for such self-righteousness and hubris in Sikh 

tradition, history or doctrine. 

Fundamentals of one’s belief are important to a sense 

of self; intolerance and fanaticism are inimical to it. This is 

the crux of a civilized and cultured existence. I. J Singh, NY

PRESS NOTE BY WSC ORGANIZERS 

Jan. 02, 2004. 

The under mentioned persons connected with the ‘World 

Sikh Convention’, analysed the news item published in the 

papers of December 25, 2003, according to which Editor of 

the Spokesman Joginder Singh has been summoned by Bhai 

Joginder Singh Vedanti to appear at the Akal Takhat, 

considered it in the context of the resolutions of the 

Convention and concluded as follows: 

1.1 Several years earlier our representatives had 

politely asked Bhai Joginder Singh Vedanti to 

clarify to the Sikh panth the religious or ethical 

basis on which he was declaring himself and others 

as “maha Granthis, Five Singh Sahiban, Jathedars 

or High Priests”. He has not bothered to explain his 

position to the Sikh people. 

1.2 The panth accepted Sikh Rehat Maryada provides 

for selection of Five Beloved ones by the 

concerned Sikh congregation. The above 

mentioned ‘maha Granthis, Jathedars’ were never 

so selected by the congregation. They must explain 

to the congregation how without going through the 

process of selection, they usurp the powers of the 

Five Beloved Ones and why do they terrorise 

Guru’s Sikhs by the exercise of such powers 

1.3 They need to clarify how they are entitled to 

summon a Sikh to appear before them in the 

absence of his voluntary desire to seek forgiveness 

for dereliction of religious duty 

1.4 Clearly Editor Joginder Singh has committed no 

breach of Rehat Maryada and neither has he 

presented himself before the congregation to seek 

forgiveness. In these circumstances no pseudo 

Jathedar is entitled according to the principles of 

Sikhi to summon him to appear at the Akal Takhat. 

1.5 It is certain that no Sikh of the Guru is obliged to 

obey such an order which is void ab initio. 

2.1 After deep consideration, all of us, particularly in 

the context of Akali Dal’s Moga Conference 

(1996), believe that Mr. Parkash Singh Badal’s 

position is that of a henchman of Hindutva forces. 

He now is a firm adherent of Hindutva’s ultimate 

aim of liquidating the Sikh panth and is a handle in 

the axe of Hindutva. 

2.2 In recent times Mr. Badal has usurped the sole 

right to appoint and dismiss what his group calls a 

‘Jathedar’ of the Akal Takhat. Inspired by some 

destructive thought he has appointed Bhai Joginder 

Singh Vedanti to that office and has retained him 

even after attaining the retiring age of 60 years. 

2.3 For the above mentioned reasons Bhai Vedanti is 

only a henchman of one who himself is but a 

henchman of an enemy organisation. According to 

principles derived from Guru’s word, Guru’s 

instructions and the dictates of Sikh history and 

tradition, it is nothing but betrayal of Sikhi to 

obey Vedanti’s orders. 

3.1 To advertise the collection of indecent tales and 

meaningless mythological stories as ‘Dasam 

Granth’ and to attribute its authorship to the Tenth 

King in entirety is to throw mud on the Guru’s 

clean and holy garment. The ultimate aim of 



ascribing its authorship to the Guru is to destroy the 

image of the Lord of the Blue Steed, the one who 

sacrificed his whole family, and to sow the seeds of 

hatred for him and is nothing less. 

3.2 The Tenth King is certainly the ornament of the 

human race and his image is preeminent amongst 

the greatest humans in history. It is capable of 

inspiring the highest ethical values, idealism and is 

capable of bestowing the highest spiritual 

development. This image has been carefully 

preserved by three and half centuries of history in its 

original purity. To keep this purity in tact is 

universally beneficial. 

3.3 For this purpose it is absolutely essential to 

denigrate this book and to refuse to publicly accept 

the white lie that its author is Guru Gobind Singh. 

To actively participate in this denial process is a 

religious duty as well as a homage to the truth of 

history. 

4.1 Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Kala Afghana is a believing, 

duly baptised Sikh writer. His books are dedicated 

to the betterment of the Sikh people and are in 

conformity with Guru’s word. As against those, 

Gurbilas Patshahi 6 edited by Bhai Joginder 

Singh Vedanti is poisonous weed and a basket of 

dirt born of low mentality. 

4.2 When Bhai Kala Afghana brought the above fact to 

the notice of public in a serious discussion, he was 

ex-communicated by Bhai Joginder Singh Vedanti. 

This was done without giving him an opportunity of 

being heard and without considering his written 

point of view. He was trapped into that quagmire by 

low cunning. 

4.3 To excommunicate people like this may be in order 

in Islam hijacked by crude priesthood, but in Sikhi 

such an action is completely unauthorised. The 

World Sikh Convention of October 26, 2003, 

rersolved that excommunication is in opposition to 

the basic postulates of Sikhi. To accept 

excommunication as valid is opposed to human 

values, is out and out cowardness and is a complete 

betrayal of Sikh history and tradition. This is the 

firm belief of majority of ordinary Sikhs like us. 

We perceive that inspite of opposition by majority of the 

Sikhs, the ‘mahan granthis, Jathedars’ are progressively 

tightening their noose around the necks of ordinary Sikhs. 

For this purpose they are spreading the terror of their 

unauthorised ‘hukamnamas’. They are leaving no space for 

meaningful discussion. It is a death dealing situation for 

Sikhi. To distill the views of ordinary Sikhs on the issue, to 

organize expression of public opinion against this new 

menace, we propose to hold at least four big conventions 

outside India and will hold a Sarbat Khalsa in the Punjab and 

will thus put a complete end to this new tradition of 

terrorising Guru’s Sikhs. 

To every person wedded to truthful conduct and pious 

living, we promise that we will ever incessantly strive to 

completely obliterate the terror of unauthorised 

‘hukamnamahs’ of ‘maha granthis’ root and branch 

from the psyche of Sikhs.

JOGINDER SINGH’S RESPONSE TO VEDANTI 

Giani Joginder Singh Vedanti, Head Minister 

Sri Akal Takhat Sahib, Golden Temple Complex, 

Amritsar (Punjab) 

Respected Giani Joginder Singh Vedanti Ji, 

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa. Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. 

I have received your letter No. A: 3/03/3635 dated 22-12- 

2003. Although the language of the letter is quite 

provocative and there is no dearth of decrees pronouncing 

me as “guilty”, even before giving me a hearing, yet for two 

reasons, I touched my forehead with it as a mark of respect 

Firstly, because this letter has come to me from Sri Akal 

Takhat Sahib, the same Akal Takhat, which being the very 

symbol of Sikh Sovereignty, deserves to be respected by 

every upright Sikh. Although for sometime past, its 

“Mukh Sewadars” (Head ministers) have left no stone 

unturned to denigrate the Takhat, yet those wedded to the 

idea of Sikhs' sovereign status, as for example, myself, even 

today see the Akal Takhat as distinct from its “Sewadars” 

(servants) and consider it a matter of honor to be committed 

to it. 

Secondly, you have summoned me to appear at Akal Takhat 

“on behalf of the Guru Panth.” This has been our principle 

demand from the very beginning that as ordained by the 

Guru, only the Guru Panth can issue any command from the 

Akal Takhat and not its “Sewadars.” But you have not 

stated anything about when and how the Guru Panth 

took a decision to summon me. The Guru-Panth manifests 

its will through “Gurmata” which cannot be adopted until 

all the parties to a dispute sit together along with the 

representatives of all Panthic organizations and after holding 

free and frank discussion, arrive at a consensus. I am not 

stating this on my own, but this is what is written in the 

Panth-approved “rehat maryada” also. It is hoped that before 

summoning me on behalf of the Guru Panth, you will oblige 

me by supplying the above-mentioned information about the 

“Gurmata” adopted by the Guru Panth, at the earliest. 

You wrote that you have received complaints against 

me. In this connection, you have referred to a few articles 

that had appeared in the Spokesman’s September through 

November 2003 issues. After receiving your letter, I have 



re-read all the relevant articles. All these articles are fine 

examples of Panth's glory and raise the prestige of the Sikh 

Panth, and I fail to understand what is objectionable about 

them. The Spokesman is the largest-selling Sikh magazine 

and even our opponents relish going through its contents. 

There is no corner of the world where this paper does not 

have its subscribers. Had something objectionable really been 

there in the articles referred to by you, the Sikhs would have 

certainly voiced their objections. But till today, we have not 

received even a single complaint with regard to these articles. 

It is prudent that I request you to supply me the original 

complaints or their photo copies so that I may ascertain these 

documents and refute the allegations made. As you should 

know that the complaints can be bogus. I shall duly reply 

once the documents are made available to me. The 

complaint of the Dharam Parchar Committee was duly 

responded to on October 15, 2003, and Spokesman’s 

November 2003 issue reprinted that reply. You must have 

read that as well as the challenge to SGPC to constitute a 

panel of independent judges to examine the issues raised 

here. 

You will find that many of the allegations leveled 

against me in your letter stand rebutted. So far as the 

“Salahkar Board” (Advisory Board) and its aftermath are 

concerned, please read the January 2004 issue of the 

Spokesman. 

Having said all that: My final reply shall be 

submitted only after the receipt of copies of the 

complaints and your replies to the points brought forth 

hereunder. I would certainly like to put forward a few 

important points, which can prove helpful in defusing this 

issue. From the telephonic messages I have received so far 

form all over the world, it appears that besides the Sikhs, 

even non-Sikhs are showing deep interest in this matter and 

want to know how the religious heads of world's most 

modern religion mistreat the editor of the most popular Sikh 

magazine. The following are the points for your 

consideration: 

1. A newspaper editor does not bring out a paper to express 

his own views only. Rather, by acquainting the readers with 

the views of all the parties, he tries to add to their knowledge. 

If a particular view is not liked or is considered faulty, the 

reader responds to the editor. A paper is only a means to 

bring forth conflicting views at one place. That is why, 

complaints with regard to any writing are first made to the 

editor and he is asked to rectify the error, which the editor 

usually does undertake if it is found to have validity. Where 

is the avenue open and justified when the editor is asked to 

appear in person and offer clarifications to religious 

authorities I have been told that Pope and Khomeini not 

excluding, even the all-powerful Mullahs in Islamic countries 

too had complaints of a very serious nature against 

newspaper editors but no editor had ever been summoned by 

them to appear personally and offer clarifications. Can you 

cite an example when an editor was made to appear in 

person, before the clergy, in any part of the world and was 

asked to offer clarifications All the democratic 

institutions regard the freedom of Press as an integral 

part; regrettably I ask why those sitting at the Guru's 

“Takhats” wish to reverse the process By starting this 

new anti-Sikh tradition, will the “Sewadars” of Akal Takhat 

add to the glory of the Guru's Takhat or will lower its 

reputation further 

2. I offer you the past case of Bhai Ranjit Singh. The 

Spokesman came out with reservations about the 

“hukamnamas” (edicts) issued by the Jathedar first time 

when Bhai Ranjit Singh had issued a number of them. 

Gurcharanjit Singh Lamba (editor of the “Sant Sipahi” 

now), wrote to Bhai Ranjit Singh that Spokesman’s editor be 

summoned at Akal Takhat and action taken against him 

because he had thrown a challenge to the authority of the 

“Jathedar.” Bhai Ranjit Singh was wise enough to forward 

Lamba's letter to me. This was the right mode of dealing 

with a complaint received against the paper. A radically 

different course adopted by you is not expected from a 

fellow Sikh. 

3. It is a fact that before sending the letter to me, you had 

released it to the Press. Why Are you going for justice or 

using your status to defame a person Making use of this 

same methodology, Indira Gandhi had tarnished the image 

of the Sikhs so much that later when she unleashed her rein 

of terror against them, no one raised a voice in their support. 

Politicians have no doubt been employing these tactics, but 

when persons sitting on seat of Akal Takhat behave in this 

manner, how will it impact on our future course of Sikhi 

4. In your letter, you pronounced me guilty of having 

committed many sins and released the letter to the press 

before I could receive it. Besides this, at least in three press 

statements (both before and after the 26th October World 

Sikh Convention) you have pronounced the verdict that the 

Spokesman is an anti-Panthic paper. Do you think that even 

in these circumstances, it will be wrong to view your 

impartiality with suspicion Rumor has it that you have sent 

this letter to me after receiving instructions from Parkash 

Singh Badal. Is it true 

5. Seeing the manner in which Khalsa Panchayat's peaceful 

and unarmed workers were beaten and beleaguered by 

SGPC's musclemen in Darbar Sahib complex (you too had 

supported this action) on February 22 nd (2003) and the 

threats of causing bloodshed were given so as to scuttle the 

World Sikh Convention, do you think you can guarantee 

personal safety of a person who had been criticizing the 

SGPC, the Akali Dal and some of your own past actions 

6. Your double standards are obvious in the controversy of 

“Dasam Granth”. In our view, propagation of “Dasam 

Granth” is tantamount to showing disrespect to Guru 

Gobind Singh. Yet you have allowed Baba Virsa Singh to 

create a website on ‘Dasam Granth’, Khushwant Singh to 

write articles in favour of it, Takhat Patna Sahib’s Head 

Granthi Giani Iqbal Singh to call it ‘Perfect Guru’ with 



impunity Recently Dr. Jasbir Singh Mann of USA delivered a 

lecture on ‘Dasam Granth’ on 8 th of December (2003) at 

Amritsar. Bibi Kiranjot Kaur, S. Waryam Singh, Secretary 

Dharam Parchar Committee and yyyour PA, S. Prithi were in 

the audience. Not one of them pointed out your ban on the 

subject. Did they know that your ban is to be enforced in an 

arbitray manner 

7. The Spokesman is Sikh Panth's 53-year old institution, 

which was founded by S. Hukam Singh in 1951. During the 

last ten years, its new management has brought forth its 

Panthic character in a rather more pronounced manner and at 

present, it has become the most popular paper among the 

Sikhs both in India and abroad. If you have any grievance 

against this paper, it should be expressed by keeping its 

prestige and position in view. The language used in your 

letter and the way it has been released to the press before 

sending it to the Spokesman show that you have scant regard 

for great Panthic institution. We, in the Spokesman, have 

always tried our level best to see that in spite of our 

differences, no damage should be caused to the prestige of 

any Panthic institution. For sake of brevity I will mention 

only three examples: 

(a) You remember that you yourself had rung me up to say 

that we should not write anything about the Dhanwant Singh 

affair in the Spokesman. When you repeatedly said to me 

these words, “I request you with folded hands,” I gave my 

word, even though your demand did not appear justified, that 

we would not write anything until the matter was finally 

disposed of by you. For more than a year, we withheld our 

pen--only to uphold the prestige of the institution. 

(b) In October, 2003, when the Dharam Parchar Committee 

passed a resolution against the Spokesman, its Board of 

Directors decided unanimously that a defamation suit be 

filed against the SGPC and the Dharam Parchar Committee 

members, but I got this decision stalled by pleading that if the 

SGPC people refrain from taking any wrong step thereafter, 

the great Panthic institution should not be put in the dock for 

the first case of high handedness. 

(c) A delegation of some Sikhs came to the Spokesman’s 

office to inform us that since what you have written in the 

preface to the “Gurbilas Patshahi-6” provides 

encouragement to blasphemy, they were going to file a case 

against you for your abetment in insulting the Gurus and for 

that purpose they sought our help too. I told them that 

although I consider the publication of “Gurbilas Patshahi– 

6” and its praise by a Darbar Sahib Granthi as a crime 

against the Guru, yet I would not approve of the filing of a 

case in this connection because it would bring shame to a 

sacred institution. 

8. A Sikh religious head derives powers from three sources: 

Guru Granth Sahib, Gurdwara Act, and Panth-approved 

“Rehat Maryada.” There is no provision of a “Jathedar” of 

Akal Takhat, nor any authority to declare oneself as 

“Jathedar” and start summoning Sikhs at the Akal Takhat, 

pronounce them “tankhahiyas' (guilty of religious 

misconduct) and excommunicate them from the Panth. Six 

prominent Sikhs of Chandigarh jointly wrote a letter to you 

requesting you to enlighten them about the source from 

which you had derived these powers. Narcissistically you 

and the SGPC President kept on threatening the six Sikhs, 

and have not replied them till today. 

9. After waiting for more than six months, it was decided 

that honest and dedicated Sikhs, should be called upon to 

assist us in finding answers to the above questions in the 

light of Gurmat. Thus the World Sikh Convention was held 

at Mohali on October 26, 2003.You, the SGPC and its sister 

organizations called upon the Sikhs to boycott the 

convention. Then threats were issued: organizers would be 

killed, bloodshed would be caused and “come what may, the 

Convention would not be allowed to be held.” The 

gurdwaras were directed not to provide space for holding 

the Convention. When private parties agreed to rent out 

accommodation, they too were threatened and the central 

Home Minister was made to force an MP to go back on his 

establishment's commitment. At last, twelve hours before 

the Convention was scheduled to start, the High court issued 

directions to the Police and the administration that not only 

the Convention be allowed but also law and order 

maintained. Despite adverse circumstances, large number of 

Sikhs poured in from every state in the country and each 

district of Punjab, besides from fourteen other countries. 

Ninety per cent of the attendees consisted of “Amritdharis.” 

These Sikhs, both men and women, held serious 

deliberations for eight long hours, and endorsed the views of 

the organizers unanimously. This convention gave a lie to 

the SGPC’s contention that old fashioned ‘Sarbat Khalsa’ 

cannot be held under today’s circumstances. 

10. Why I alone have been summoned Why not all the 

convention organizers You and the SGPC bosses are either 

very much chagrined at the success of the October 

convention or wish to stop the onward march of the 

Spokesman. 

11. Regarding the objections raised by you that have 

appeared in the Spokesman, I emphatically state that if even 

a single writing of the Spokesman is proved to be violation 

of Gurmat, I will resign as its chief editor. We make every 

effort to ensure that not a single word should appear in the 

Spokesman, which is contrary to Gurmat. And Gurmat is 

what is recorded in Guru Granth Sahib, and not in “Dasam 

Granth” and “Gurbilash Patshahi – 6.” Secondly, we have 

taken up the challenge of completing the unfinished task of 

the “Gurmat-Lehar” initiated by Prof. Gurmukh Singh and 

Giani Dit Singh, which was abandoned half-way by the 

politicians who succeeded them. At the time when Prof. 

Gurmukh Singh and Giani Dit Singh embarked on this task, 

they too were accused of being Panth's enemies by the 

“Pujaris” (priests) and those controlling the gurdwaras. Is it 

necessary to repeat that history or should we learn lesson 

from it 



12. Sikhism is a religion in which discussion or exchange of 

views is all-important. It is not a religion of those who are 

bigoted or practice blind faith. Rather, it is a religion of those 

who revolt against blind faith. It is not a religion of those 

who follow antiquated practices or traditions, but of those 

who reject old practices by testing them on the touchstone of 

Gurmat. Secondly, even the leaders of stone-age religions 

have changed greatly with the passage of time. But the 

“Granthis” and leaders of our most modern religion, 

sometimes behave in such a manner that it looks as if they 

were living in the stone age and are representing an outdated 

religion. People have realized that in the realm of religion, 

creating hurdles in the way of discussion and exchange of 

views ultimately proves to be harmful to the religion itself. 

Therefore, it is my request that needless fruitless faultfinding 

should not be encouraged: It will bring great harm to 

Sikhism. 

13. At present, the RSS wants that the “Granthis” appointed 

by the politicians should be made to appear so powerful and 

“supreme” in the name of Akal Takhat, that every command 

of theirs should be taken by the Sikhs as a “Divine edict” so 

as to enable the RSS make some future “Jathedar” declare 

that the Sikhs are a part of Hinduism and even Lord Vishnu 

ought to be worshipped at Sri Darbar Sahib, because 

“Gurbilas Patshahi – 6” supports that claim. Already, a 

Jathedar has described the Sikhs as the progeny of “Luv and 

Kush,” and you yourself have added another insult by stating 

“Gurbilas Patshahi – 6” as a gift to the Sikhs and advocated 

its recitation in gurdwaras. The future looks grim and subject 

to more manipulations. You can see why we harbor serious 

questions about you and your abilities. 

Summing up: I am committed to offering clarifications 

about each and every complaint sent by you. All I need are 

the documents in original or their copies. Secondly, under no 

circumstances, are we prepared to bargain the freedom of 

the press. I can give up the vocation of journalism but will 

never compromise on vital question of freedom of the press. 

Thirdly, the manner in which the Guru Panth had given a 

clear verdict on Gurmat ideology, by braving threats and 

crossing hurdles put in its path in an unprecedented manner, I 

will never go against it. Fourthly, following in the footsteps 

of Prof. Gurmukh Singh and Giani Dit Singh, I will certainly 

wage a struggle to raise the flag of Gurmat to rid our 

gurdwaras of the Hindu practices that have crept into them. 

Guru Gobind Singh had bequeathed Guruship to the Guru 

Granth and the Guru Panth only. My request to you is that 

you should also give recognition to the verdict of the Guru 

Panth. You should make every effort to forge unity in the 

Panth. Entrust the entire issue to independent Panthic 

thinkers and ask them to make recommendations on how the 

entire Panth can remain ideologically united. It is hoped that 

you will consider this request because it is in the interest of 

the Panth itself. If I have done anything against the Guru's 

commands, I should be told as to where I have erred. But if I 

am only advocating compliance with the Guru's edicts, I hope 

that Akal Takhat Sewadars will stand by me, will ensure the 

unity and supremacy of the Guru Panth. 

You have described the Spokesman as “my paper” in your 

letter. Please note that this magazine is owned by JPC Ltd., 

which has thousands of shareholders, who assemble every 

year and elect their Board of Directors, who alone can 

formulate the policies of the Spokesman. You have fixed 

January 7 (2004) as the date for submitting clarifications. 

The time for fixing the date will arrive after you 

acknowledge the letter of December 27, 2002, and with the 

help of experts, attend to the questions raised by the writers 

of that letter, besides those raised by me in this letter. 

Ours is not a religion of deaf and dumb people and 

there is a strong tradition of questioning. I advise you to 

attend to the questions raised by the Guru-Panth, in the 26th 

October (2003) World Sikh Convention. I am sure that once 

you give a serious thought to the whole issue in the light of 

Gurmat philosophy, you will no longer feel the necessity of 

summoning any Sikh, nor issuing any “edict” and will rather 

start helping the Sikhs take their own decisions by sitting 

together in Sarbat Khalsa gatherings. It is for this purpose 

only that the institution of “Jathedar” of the Sikhs had been 

created and certainly not to follow the Muslim practice of 

summoning the people and issuing “fatwas” and Hindu 

practice of excommunicating them. The next convention, to 

be held in 2004, will clear the position further especially on 

a question related to the basic postulates of Sikhism and it is 

my request that instead of dealing with people on individual 

basis, all decisions should be taken as per the provisions of 

Panth-approved “Sikh Reht Maryada” only, and the name of 

“Akal Takhat” should not make one arrogant vis-a-vis the 

Guru Panth. You are also answerable to the Guru Panth. 

There is no post or position in Sikhism, the incumbent of 

which can claim that he or she is not answerable to the Guru 

Panth. Therefore, your thinking that because the politicians 

have appointed you as “sewadar” of the Akal Takhat, every 

Sikh is answerable to you but you yourself are answerable 

to none.

EXCOMMUNICATION OF KALA AFGHANA 

Dr Jodh Singh, NY 

Dear Dr. Kharak Singh Sahib, 

Guru Fateh! 

Attached please note a copy of my views on the article in 

Gurmat Praksh, about Excommunication of Kala Afghana 

I have not seen any facts in these lengthy verbose articles 

other than countless names of institutions and people for 

and against S. Kala Afghana. What are the facts And where 

are they All I read is inflammatory threatening statements 

about the supremacy of Akal Takhat. No Sikh has ever 

challenged or denied the supremacy of Akal Takhat. 

The crux of the problem, as you know it very well, 

is the Jathedar Akal Takhat: Bhai Joginder Singh 

Sandhu (Vedanti). He wanted to display and establish 



his vedantachariatta. In collaboration with Principal Amarjit 

Singh, he editorialized Gurbilas patshai chhevi. Countless 

celebrities were maneuvered to write laudatory comments 

and SGPC printed the book. On inquiry, one of those 

celebrities, whose comments were published, denied having 

written those. This bespeaks honesty and truthfulness of 

Vedanti Sahib. He never missed any gainful chance of 

meeting hypocrite saints in Chicago or paying his obeisance 

to his holiness, the Pope in Vatican, so that his pictures could 

be displayed on broadcast and print media. But he could not 

spare a few moments to speak with GSKA. Fortunately, 

after squandering SGPC funds on the book, Gurbilas patshai 

chhevi, SGPC withdrew it. However, Vedanti Ji has not 

missed any opportunity or chance of castigating ruthlessly 

those who exposed his book, its falsehood and intellectual 

dishonesty. In his arrogance, anger and vengeance, Vedanti Ji 

maneuvered Sikh Scholars to recommend GSKA’s 

excommunication. 

Unfortunately, Sikh scholars have not done their 

homework adequately and they failed to investigate the 

questionable books and the author completely. If they did, 

they did not report the so-called facts. What disgraceful 

conspiracy has been hatched to damage the principles of Akal 

Takhat I do not understand. If Akal Takhat has any 

principles, it is not mentioned anywhere in the scriptures. 

Again, you are harping on the same string. It is baseless 

allegation that any body has attacked the fundamental 

principle of Sikhism. It is the same old rotten slogan, Panth 

is in danger that we have been hearing since 1951. And now, 

it is attack on the fundamental principle of Sikhism 

After excommunicating Kala Afghan, you are accusing us as 

his collaborators. hux is`K pMQ qy ivdvqw dw ByK Dwr ky Awx

Keep on giving threats. One wonders as to what Akal 

Takhat, nine feet tall brick & stone structure, has to do with 

Dasam Granth There is no mention of Akal Takhat in it. 

Sahib Siri Guru Gobind Singh Ji never visited Akal Takhat. 

GSKA did not write a word, negative or otherwise, about 

Akal Takhat. We are not with GSKA, because we do not 

have any interests of favors or fear from him, we want the 

truth, unlike the honorable Committee members whose jobs, 

pelf, positions and publications, visits to America and Europe 

maybe dependent on SGPC, universities and Government of 

Akali-BJP at stake. 

The Committee members (M/s Balwant Singh Dhillon, 

Darshan Singh, Kharak Singh Maan, Giani Gurdit Singh. and 

Joginder S. Talwara) took the responsibility to study the 

matter in depth, fair and just and submit its report. They did 

not meet with GSKA and those who had read his books and 

had met with him, e.g., Professor Gurtej Singh or Dr. 

Baldev Singh from Pennsylvania, Bhai Hardev Singh 

Shergill of California or Bhai Jagtar Singh Jachak from NY 

or Principal Surjit Singh of Delhi or even the down-trodden 

undersigned. Honorable members! May I know as to why 

you did not meet with any of them Believe me, we are 

Sikhs and our bodies, possessions and souls belong to 

AGGS. 

SGPC thought of Gurtej Singh as an exceptional 

scholar and besrowed the title, National Professor of 

Sikhism, on him. He was more than willing to talk and 

explain. Wasn’t he your associate at IOSS He had read the 

books thoroughly and even wrote preface on one of them. I 

do not know him personally, never met him. 

Let us talk about Dasam Granth and the undersigned. 

Dr. Kartar Singh of Bari inspired me to acquire a copy of 

it in 1972. I have been studying it ever since. When I read 

Mela Gopal Mohan fable I was stunned. Did Guru Gobind 

Singh write this Sant Virsa Singh of Mehroli, professor 

Piara Singh Padam, Dharam pal Ashta, Dr. Mahhep 

Singh and countless others believe that each and every word 

of DG is by GGS. Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji is 

accused of ordering his Sikhs to rob turbans from the 

visitors by kicking them in the butt, who were sitting to 

urinate. ‘Pick up the turban and run, wash and clean it, to 

get ready for initiation of new Sikhs tomorrow.’ Kala 

afghana was an ordinary policeman in 1972. He had no idea 

of DG. Dr. Kharak Singh Ji, you gave me a small booklet 

by late S. Jagjit Singh about DG when I visited you first 

time many years ago. I have been collecting anything and 

every thing about DG, even before I had heard the name of 

GSKA. It just so happened that GSKA and I were on the 

same wavelength. 

Less than three years ago, my patient, late Bhai 

Harbhajan Singh Ji (a student of Bhai Sahib Singh and 

teacher of Professor Manjit Singh), one of the rare learned 

Granthis, advised me to read Kala Afghana’s books. I 

acquired them and read them many times over and 

encouraged many others to read them. 

Finally, last year I invited GSKA to NY, met with 

him one to one for three days at my humble hut. I found 

him selfless, sincere, knowledgeable, dedicated, Five- 

Kakar-Dhari Gursikh. He is an ectomorph, six feet plus 

tall yet humble, conscientious and hard working in spite of 

his advancing years and feeble general health. His wife is 

far sicker than he is and he has to assist her physically. 

Let me state it categorically, GSKA has poor general 

health being old and chronically ill, takes multiple 

medications. His wife is seriously ill with heart disease and 

he takes care of her. He had trepidations to go to India 

because having been a cop himself he knew what treatment 

he will receive from Akali-supported BJP government. (Ask 

Harsimran Singh Mann, former IPS, how mercilessly 



brutally he was tortured by the Indian police, being young 

and energetic, he did survive. (His father told us the details in 

Brookville, NY). GSKA was almost sure that he would have 

died in India either in police custody or jail or murdered by a 

hired gun. This is the realty. As you know it very well that he 

is not related to me. We owe each other nothing. I only 

support his views and writings. There may be a few 

objectionable words here and there in the series of his books. 

I have copies of the letters with objectionable and 

abusive language to GSKA from Bihari-Lawyer G.S. 

Lamba, Professor Jodh Singh, late Prof. P.S. Padam and 

Mr. Kirpal Singh, Chief Sewadar of Sant Versa Singh Ji. 

There is only one letter of appreciation from Jathedar 

Kewal Singh of Damdama Sahib. 

The only evidence, you gave, in support of your 

recommendations is the number of people sending you their 

signatures and addresses. Have you done any investigation to 

find out how many of these have had a chance to see or read 

books, by Kala Afgana It seems like a sheep walk. Let me 

illustrate. 

One evening, two buses packed with folks from Sant 

Sagar came to attack Granthi Jagtar Singh Jachak at 

Gurdwara, Glen Cove, NY. Granthi Jagtar Singh (formerly at 

Duarbar Sahib) had visited with GSKA in British Columbia, 

Canada, agreed with and supported GSKA’s views. The 

boisterous, unruly, dango-crats demanded from the 

management (weaker sect of the educated Sikhs from cities 

of India) to fire Granthi JSJ immediately or face the 

consequences. And they were ready for the drastic action 

against the Gurdwara and the Granthi. Somehow, the 

administrator with his shrewd-salesmanship saved the 

situation by begging apologies and issuing a stern warning to 

Bhai Jagtar Singh to publically dissociate with Kala Afghana. 

And he complied with it. * 

Subsequently, on a casual inquiry, it turned out that the 

majority of this sangat had not read a line from GSKA books. 

Because, they were poorly schooled masses from my rural 

Punjab, had no capacity, time or talent to do so. They were 

simply misled by a rival granthi who had spoken to Bhai 

Jagtar Singh on telephone a few days earlier. Some body 

spread the rumor that Bhai Jagtar Singh is condemning and 

rejecting Amrit sanchar. 

Let me address, you, the honorable Committee of 

scholars. I have met with some of you. Dr. Kharak Singh Ji, 

I was disappointed that, you being the most erudite 

scholar should have done a better Job. I had only a 

glimpse of Dr. Darshan Singh when he came to NY with 

Acting J.A.T. Professor Manjit Singh. I have met Prof. 

Balwant Singh Dhillon in NY. He could have done a more 

detailed investigation. I have not met Giani Gurdit Singh Ji or 

Bhai Joginder Singh Talwara. But, Professor Manjit Singh 

spoke very high about Talwara Ji, as a precedence of Sikhi, 

he could have been fair and just. I do appreciate his feelings 

about GSKA; he has criticized Talwara ji’s book, ‘Ten Kion 

Murghi Mari’. 

History will record monumental decisions. 

Excommunications must not be taken lightly. Make no 

mistake; more people are reading books by GSKA and 

Dasam Granth Darpan by late Giani Bhag Singh. You may 

like to remind me that ATJ, Late Sadhu Singh Bhaura 

excommunicated Giani Bhag Singh Ambalvi. Sant Singh 

Masqeen did most of the maneuvering through his 

friendship with late Singh Sahib Giani Chet Singh Ji in this 

accomplishment. Kindly read the book by Professor Ude 

Singh Ji of Canada (one of KA’s critics) and you will find 

how Mahan is Masqeen 

In America, there is no ban on free speech. Ours is a 

modern scientific religion and is spreading across the world. 

GSKA and Bhag Singh’s books will soon be translated in 

other languages for a wider discriminating reader. And 

many more erudite Sikh scholars will write books on 

authenticity of Dasam Granth. With your sword of 

Damocles, excommunications, you may repress, suppress or 

scare a few of us and hurt Sikhism irreparably but the 

movement of Truth shall reign supreme. ‘Koorh Nikhote 

Nanka, ohrhak sach rahi!’ May I seek your forgiveness if I 

sounded too blunt Respectfully, 

Dr Jodh Singh, NY, xjsa@aol.com

ABUSES ASSOCIATED WITH 

EXCOMMUNICATION 

Edith Piaf the famous French singer was denied burial rights 

by the Catholic Church because she was born to a prostitute! 

Outpouring of hundreds of thousands Le Parisiens on 

Champs Elysse joined her funeral procession and 

condemned the scandalous attitude of the church. By 

coincidence another famous Parisian 

writer/poet/philosopher, Jean Cocteau, also died on the same 

day and was granted full burial rights. French public and 

media ridiculed and lambasted the church for extending full 

honours to a homosexual. Only a small coterie of friends 

joined Cocteau's funeral. The Church had abused its 

authority. 

I am not sure if Akal Takhat (AT) has an equivalent 

of an Ecclesiastical court for enforcing discipline or 

excommunicating fellow-Sikhs! Since the rules of Rehat 

Maryada, unfortunately, are not universally accepted, the 

chain of command and lines of communication between AT 

and Sikh masses in India and diaspora, are either blurred or 

non-existent, perhaps "the twain shall not meet." Most of the 

time, edicts, like sanctions and Coventry treatment, are 

ineffective, counter-productive and meaningless. As a 

universal and an egalitarian religion, Sikhism cannot justify 

abuses laced with edicts or the excommunication process. 

Kala Afghana and his works (regardless of his 

domicile, station in life or age) became more popular after 

his excommunication. His silence has generated more 

sympathy than condemnation. Works of authors, editors, 

journalists, artists and scholars can be challenged in kind, 



but they cannot be denied freedom of expression. AT should 

not allow itself to be perceived as ' thought police' created 

specifically to manipulate certain insidious agendas. There is 

abundance of Sikh scholars to debate controversial issues 

raised by Kala Afgana and others. Respected Jathedars must 

demonstrate fair play and respect freedom of speech, viz, 

expression. 

Dr. Chahal Ji rightly observed, "There is no system of 

excommunication of any Sikh in Gurbani." Mrs A. Singh 

Ji reaffirmed this further, "No one can excommunicate any 

believer of AGGS." Dr. Jodh Singh of New York wrote, 

"You (AT) have threatened us all (significant proportion) 

with the same punishment if we continue to be associated 

with him (Afghana)." Dr. Jaspal Singh Mayell reflected, "I 

will not be surprised if one of us is also excommunicated in 

the near future." Dr Mayell posed an interesting question, "Is 

there any one who is in favour of excommunication of 

Joginder Singh or any other Sikh by the Sikh religious 

managers" The jury is out! Tejpal S. Thind, Montreal. Canada

MISUSE OF SGPC FUNDS 

Amritsar, January 9, 2004 

The Khalra Mission Committee (KMC) along with some 

Sikh religious and social organisations today filed a petition 

before the Sikh Judicial Commission against nine persons 

including Mr Parkash Singh Badal, President, Shiromani 

Akali Dal (SAD), Giani Joginder Singh Vedanti, Jathedar 

Akal Takht and Mr Gurcharan Singh Tohra, president, 

SGPC, allegedly for misusing SGPC funds. 

They (petitioners) alleged that the nine alleged 

celebrated birthday of Mr Parkash Singh Badal on December 

8, 2003 using SGPC funds and its notified gurdwaras, 

causing loss of Rs five lakh which was against ‘Sikh 

maryada’ (code of ethics) as only birthdays of Sikh Gurus 

were entitled to be celebrated from gurdwara funds. They 

claimed that on the day of hearing of Mr Badal in a 

corruption case at Ropar, the Manager of Nadda Sahib 

Gurdwara in connivance with other respondents had provided 

free of cost meal to the SAD workers. They alleged that it 

caused loss of Rs two lakh to the SGPC. 

On another count they said, Giani Puran Singh, head 

granthi, Golden Temple and Giani Joginder Singh Vedanti, 

Jathedar Akal Takht presented a siropa (a robe of honour) to 

Mr Badal on December 11, 2003 on his visit to the Golden 

Temple after release on bail in a corruption case in which he 

was chargesheeted which was against Sikh tenets. They 

compared it with “the Sikhs giving siropa to General O’Dyer 

who had massacred Punjabis and Sikhs at Jallianwala Bagh 

in 1919. 

They said that Mr Badal was instrumental in making 

Mr Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Prime Minister, a known RSS 

worker, chairman of the Committee for celebrating 300-year 

anniversary celebration of Khalsa Panth. They said now 

again Mr Badal had made Mr Vajpayee, Chairman of a 

committee constituted to celebrate the coming 400th 

Prakash Utsav of Siri Guru Granth Sahib. 

The petition has been filed under Section 142 of the 

Sikh Gurdwara Act, 1925. The next date of hearing is on 

January 12. The five petitioners, include Mr Jasbir Singh, 

President, Ashutoshwad Virodhi Morcha, Mr Dalbir Singh, 

Patron KMC, Mr Harmandeep Singh, Chairman, KMC, Mr 

Joginder Singh, General Secretary, Gurmat Prachar Sabha 

and Mr Virsa Singh convener Sikh Jagriti Morcha. 

The other six persons against whom petition was filed 

are Mr Manjit Singh Calcutta, Honorary Secretary, and Mr 

Sukhdev Singh Bhaur, General Secretary of the SGPC, 

Giani Puran Singh, Head Grandhi, Golden Temple, the 

Managers of Darbar Sahib, Dukh Niwaran Sahib 

Gurdwara and Nadda Sahib Gurdwara.

NATIONHOOD NOT RELIGION! 

"Sikh Gurus never meant us to be a religion. They meant us 

to be a full-fledged people, a nation, a PANTH - defined 

and driven by a comprehensive ethical human culture" 

Dear fellow Sikhs across the globe: 

I take this opportunity to briefly and respectfully share with 

you my potent concerns over the continued use and 

imposition of the term 'religion' and 'religious' on the Sikhs 

and their matters. Please read and consider the following 

substantive points and questions. These invite careful 

thought and a response to key fundamental points. 

1. Firstly, the term 'religion' is a vague, stigmatized and 

legally UNDEFINED term! Both European, United 

Nations, British and other territorial laws refer to 'religion'; 

but leave it undefined (certainly in European and British 

law). Even the recent European Union Directive 

establishing equali rights on grounds of sexual orientation, 

religion and philosophical thought; fails to define the critical 

point of what is 'religion'. This begs the question, what 

makes a group or community a 'religion' What are the 

qualifying factors Perhaps, our wise Sikhs could comment 

on this fundamental point In contrast, British law explicitly 

and comprehensively defines what an 'ETHNIC' group is. 

Indeed, this was done in 1983, in direct response to a 

landmark Sikh legal case (Mandla v Dowell Lee, 1983, 

House of Lords), to decide the question of whether Sikhs 

were merely a 'religious' group or a much wider 

and comprehensive social and cultural entity - ETHNIC. It 

was decided, on merits of their common language, history, 

sociology, social customs (including 'religious' and beyond) 

territorial commonality, community feeling, etc; that 

Sikhs were "more than just a religion". It was decided that 

they were a full-fledged ETHNIC community, and should 

be treated as such under public and private law! 

2. Why do Sikhs have a fixation with the term 'religion' 

Where is this term used in Sikh history or Sikh historic 



or scriptural literature (e.g. rehatnamas, hukamnamas, 

gurbani) In case someone thinks 'dharam' means 'religion', 

they are sorely mistaken! Dharam is a much more fuller, 

substantive and wholesome term than 'religion'. 'Dharam' 

means a totalised and holistic lifestyle of righteous living 

(code of ethical conduct, philosophy of life, etc). It was 

used in this sense by the Sikh Founding Fathers (the 'Gurus'). 

For example: 

"(Guru Nanak) gave a new code of conduct, as the high 

way of spiritual life. Thus, Guru Nanak restored to 

DHARMA, its lost feet. He blended all classes and creeds 

into one social order: the SIKHS. In this, he gave the 

lowliest social equality with the kings; and taught 

humility and dignified living to the world." Bhai Gurdaas, 

Var 1, 24 

Sikh writers continue to confuse and misinterpret 'religion' 

and 'Dharam' as the same things (much like the term 

'Khaalsa' meaning the 'pure'). 'Dharam' is higher than the 

confines of institutionalised 'religion' (e.g. Catholicism, 

Protestantism). It is about human society and its 

wholescale ethical functionality. The authentic Khaalsa 

culture, society and people are a dharamic nation and 

civilisation. 

The Sikh Gurus never meant us to be a religion. They meant 

us to be a full-fledged people, a nation, a PANTH - 

defined and driven by a comprehensive ethical human 

culture ('a network of ideas, values and customs which 

define the behaviour of a society'). 

3. The term religion was first brought to the Sikhs by the 

British colonialists, in the 19th century during their 

conquest of Panjaab. British officialdom began to describe 

the Sikhs as a 'religion'. The British used various disjointed 

and half-baked descriptions about the Sikhs - their lifestyle, 

their ethics and collective community. For example, the 

'Khalsa' was frequently described as a 'military sect'. The 

Darbar Sahib was described as a 'temple of worship'. Indeed, 

even today, the term 'temple' and 'place of worship' is 

routinely applied to gurdwaras. Moreover, the learned 

Sikhs have absorbed and imbibed these misdescriptions; 

and frequently use them themselves, pliantly. The 

Gurdwara is neither a 'temple' nor a place of 'worship' (a 

English term for formal religious 'prayer' etc). In sum total, 

the Sikhs have blindly and pliantly accepted terminology 

superimposed by a conquering power! (highly reflective of 

the current subdued and pliant 'Sikh' mental character, in 

contrast with the pre-1849 staunch Panjaabi - Sikhs who were 

annihilated by the invading British, much like the Scottish 

highland stalwarts). 

4. The term 'religion' comes with a great deal of negative 

and institutionalised baggage. The religious establishment 

throughout Europe, over previous centuries, and indeed, the 

current time; has been involved in great social and political 

controversies and scandals, and sanctioned aggressive wars 

by the prevaling imperialistic states. Religion is associated 

with institutional control, formalisms, ritual, tight and 

oppressive authority and officialdom. This is certainly not 

the substance of the Khaalsa philosophy, lifestyle or 

movement or peoplehood! Indeed, the exact opposite. 

5. Religious groups do not have rights in international 

law! The nearest thing to religious rights, is the right to 

freedom of thought and expression and freedom of 'religion', 

etc, as defined in the Universal Declaration of Human 

Rights. Religious groups do not have any COLLECTIVE 

rights as a collective community, unlike ethnic-national 

groups, in international law. There is no legal basis for 

self-determination for a 'religious minority' or a 

'religious community'. The Sikhs presenting themselves as 

a 'persecuted religious minority' in India, diverts massively 

and most fundamentally, from the correct principles of the 

Sikh case - a nation undemocratically and oppressively 

colonialised and subjugated by a state (INDIA). It makes 

no intellectual sense for a 'religious' community to seek 

autonomy, self-determination or self-rule, merely 

because of their different style of worship, different 

prayers, different centres of worship. That is like, 

buddhists demanding territorial and political separation 

from christians. In contrast, a nation - a people who have 

a collective way of life and a collective society of their 

own, and seek to function and develop as a collective 

human unit - has much more comprehensive 

and overarching basis for self-existence and independent 

existence. A nation wishes to function as a full-fledged 

comprehensive society - social, political, civic and 

legislative; based on its cultural, social and spiritial 

substance and values - customs, heritage, codes, norms. This 

is why the Khaalsa civilisation decidely qualifies as a 

nation more than as a mere 'religion', much less a 

'religious minority'! 

The reduction of Sikhs to a 'religious' group, as against a 

ethnic group, is driven by the duplicitous and oppressive 

desire to deny the Sikhs their legal rights as a distinct 

and full-fledged people. Being a 'religion' gives Sikhs no 

legal strength or basis. Indeed, discussions by the Sikh 

Commonwealth (London) with western governments' 

representatives and in the United Nations (New York) about 

Sikh nationhood were often complicated and impeded by 

Indian pre-information, that Sikhs were only a 'religious' 

group. 

6. Sikhs says they are a 'nation', and claim national 

rights. How do they reconcile this with their constant and 

repititive self-description as a 'religious' group, seeking 

'religious rights and freedoms' 



INVITATION FOR COMMENTS & FEEDBACK 

I hope that, we as a people can look to evaluating 

these important and searching fundamental questions We 

cannot chop and change from being 'religious' one moment 

to 'ethnic' and 'national' another moment. Consistency is 

necessary in intellectual argument and certainly in law - 

domestic and international. At the moment, the erratic 

chopping and changing, indicates a lack of clear thought 

and comprehension of the critical substance of the global 

issues facing the Sikh people both as a migrant 

population (in France, Britain, USA, Europe, etc) and as 

a non-state nation. There is nothing worse and more selfdestructive 

than a confused mind. 

I would hope that the above earnest comments, will nurture 

healthy debate and discussion. Open responses from Sikh 

organisations, like United Sikhs, British Sikh Federation and 

other leading Sikh bodies, are much welcomed. 

I would also advise Sikhs in France to present their issues 

of the dastaar ('turban'), as an issue of ethnic equality - 

the right to practise a distinct and progressive ethnic way 

of life. The 5ks - their ethical significance/symbolism and 

practical usage in day to day life - forms an integral part 

of the ETHNICITY of the Sikh people. Entrapping this 

into the swamp of 'religion' will create unnecessary 

complications, and further undermine the status of the 

Sikh people as a people.
