Ashes At Amritsar
In the Night Were Taken.
What Kidnappings?
In Denial, and Forsaken.
What Missing Singhs?
Where Are Our Children?
Ashes At Amritsar,
Communal hatred Gone Mad,
Burning Bodies Like Tar.
'Bapu, You Look So Sad'.
Pity The Parents!
Hollow Hearts Are Hostile,
Wake Up, Brothers!
Everywhere Is Denial.
Tomorrow It Won't Be Others!
Will You Tell Their Mothers?
Slain For Being Sikhs
Culled For Being Christians
Murdered For Being Muslims
Branded Enemies Of The State.
Here Humans Have No Rights.
- Rupinderpal Singh Dhillon, 15 May 2003 -
Editor- Rupinderpal has very eloquently emphasized the need to reinforce external Sikh symbols, a necessary requirement for all Sikhs, with the understanding of Gurbani and implementing its message in our lives. He also highlights an important aspect that most often gets forgotten and it being the idea of “becoming” a Sikh. To claim oneself as Sikh by virtue of being born into a Sikh family is an idea that is rightly rejected. We become a Sikh through our actions.
Being A Sikh
My Kanga Makes Me Not A Sikh.
My Kirpan Makes Me Not A Sikh.
My Kes Makes Me Not A Sikh.
My Kara Makes Me Not A Sikh.
My Kacha Makes Me Not A Sikh.
Love For Gurbani Makes Me Sikh.
Love For Humanity Makes Me Sikh.
Love For The Satguru Makes Me Sikh.
Love For Equality Makes Me Sikh.
Love For Knowledge Makes Me Sikh.
In Truth, All Of The Above Makes Me Sikh
One Is Not Born A Sikh
One Becomes One Through Gurbani.
