RSS Invites Sikhs. I am ready go provided….
Hindu communal and fanatic organisation RSS has once again invited Sikhs in
their programme. The mischievous organisation is once again going to declare
that 'Sikhism is an off shoot of the great Hindudharma.'
3-4 years back this terrorist organisation RSS which had once killed M.K Gandhi
in 1948 held a seminar in Madhav School Amritsar and again made the same
mischievous declaration. While my Akali brethren were grumbling on their
mischief I approached them to tell that I am ready to consider declaring myself
a Hindu provided you remove the following hindrance.
That Hinduism discriminates between men and men while we Sikhs believe in the
unity of humankind (Ek onkar) we cannot therefore digest the treatment meted out
to the so called shudras in the Hindu scriptures like Mannusimriti, Balmiki
Ramayana and Mahabharata. That even our founder Guru Baba Nanak has identified
himself with the lowest of the low, we therefore can't believe the shastra
philosophy that some people are low and they should be treated worse than a dog.
My suggestion is that you first declare, disown and reject the shastras which
discriminate between human being on the ground of Varnashram. We can't respect
such a scripture (Balmiki Ramayana) where a person (Shumbak) is beheaded by a
god (Rama) for shudra's only crime that he was worshipping God but the Brahmin
believes that a Shudra can't refer to the holy scriptures.
So RSS! come on and declare it we will consider. But RSS remains silent.
Bringing unity among masses is a good and noble thing but intentions have to be
pious. Let us be sincere. The RSS must not forget that more than 80% of the
Sikhs including Jatts come from the erstwhile shudra crop of the Brahmin. I am
sure the coward RSS has no courage to declare spade a spade.

RSS eyes Sikhs to broaden base
Attar Singh
Tribune News Service
Patiala, July 8
Even as the national-level political parties as well as regional parties are
busy in their introspection for their debacle in the recent Lok Sabha elections,
the Rashtirya Swayam Sevak Sangh (RSS) has come out with an agenda to broaden
its base amongst the Sikh masses.
The Rashtriya Sikh Sangat, a front organisation of the RSS, has planned a
three-day religious congregation in Bhopal under the auspicious occasion of 300
years of Gurta Gaddi Diwas.
President of Rashtriya Sikh Sangat (Punjab), Rulda Singh, has sent a salvo under
the garb of a request letter to Avtar Singh Makkar, the president of the Shri
Gurdwara Prabhandak Committiee (SGPC), for seeking certain favours for the
religious congregation at Bhopal.
Though Rulda Singh has termed this letter to Makkar as a simple request letter
by a devoted Sikh for removing the differences, if any, prevalent in the mind of
Makkar, between the lines it smacks that the RSS has a hidden agenda to prevail
upon the Sikhs being alienated from the SAD and SGPC to a large extent.
This is also a systematic move not only to win the Sikhs living all over the
world but also a consistent foresighted move to unmask the SGPC and SAD from
their double faces regarding the Sikhs.
The copy of RSS letter which has been released to the media contains a request
to Makkar that he should make further request to the jathedar Akal Takhat, other
jathedars of the four Takhts, the SAD, including the Chief Minister, and his
Cabinet, besides MLA's to participate in the conclave for interaction and
exchange of views of both the sides.
It also says for the sale and free use of all sorts of religious publications
and symbols of the Sikh religion at the venue in a big way for the benefit of
masses. Rulda Singh also said the RSS believed and worshipped Guru Granth Sahib
as Makkar does.
A senior SAD leader when asked about his reaction, said, on the condition of
anonymity that definitely this is a double-edged weapon of the RSS against the
SAD through the SGPC. Therefore, neither the SGPC can accede to the request of
RSS nor it can openly deny these demands.
