Bhai Maharaj Singh Ji, and Baba Raam Singh Ji were some of many Sikhs who started the freedom movement to drive the British out of India. Babbar Akalis, Gadar movement and even Indian Liberation Army were movements started by the Sikhs.
It is unfortunate that none of the Sikhs were ever honored by the Indian government after independence.True fighters like Bhai Randhir Singh Ji spent almost 16 years in jails and survived only by eating fruits for months but name of this hero is not even mentioned in the
history books let alone honoring him with the title of “True Patriot”. Three government officials who tortured Bhai Sahib the most were also Hindus. Udham Singh avenged the Jalianwala Bagh massacre in 1919 by killing General Michael Francis O'Dwyer in London.
A ruthless murderer had been brought to justice but shockingly Gandhi opposed it and called Udham Singh “insane”. So now Brahman/Hindu leaders need Sikhs for
struggle ,they overpraise Sikhs like :
Sikh Quam has come into existence to fight for freedom. I say it with confidence that because of them India will become a free country soon. (Dada Bhai Narojee, President of Cong)

A country which has martial race like Sikhs cannot be ruled by foreign powers for long.

I have found the way to independence. Gurdwaras are free at last. India will become free because of your struggle. (M. K. Gandhi)
I salute to Sikhs who are fighting for

Movement of freedom has risen from Guru Ka Bagh which will play a major role to free the country. (Madan Mohan Malveya)
Freedom is everyone’s right. Sikhs are true sons of the country who are fighting for it.

Sikhs are the toughest of all communities. I believe that the British are devils and God resides in Sikhs. (Dr. Khan Chand Dev)
Sikhs have shown us the way to freedom. Now no one can keep us as slaves for long. We shall be free soon. (Dr. Saifudeen Kichloo)

Hindu leaders made promises to Sikhs according to which they would be entitled to a separate Sikh state where they could rule freely and enjoy the freedom.
“…in future, the Congress shall accept no constitution which does not meet with the satisfaction of the Sikhs”

“…the brave Sikhs of Punjab are entitled to special considerations. I see nothing wrong in an area set up in the North of India wherein, the Sikhs can also experience the glow of freedom.”

“I ask you to accept my word and the Resolution of the Congress that it will not betray a single individual much less a community. Let God be the witness of the bond that binds me and the Congress with you (the Sikhs).

When pressed further Gandhi said that Sikhs would be justified in drawing their swords out of the scabbards as Guru Gobind Singh had asked them to, if Congress would renege on its commitment.” (Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Young India, March 19, 1931)
Behind these promises the Hindu leaders had only one aim which was to win the trust of the Sikh nation which would grant them control over more land. Unfortunately, Sikhs failed to recognize the true faces of the Hindu leaders and refused to create their own separate State.
This caused the Sikhs to face another era of opposition and they face the cruelest government of all times.
After the independence, all promises were thrown out of the window. Nehru ignored his promises by saying “time has changed”.

The Hindu leaders promised the Sikh leaders that after attaining freedom the Sikhs would be assigned a specific area in the North West India where they could feel a glow of freedom and advocate their religion and culture. When the deceptive Hindus got freedom in 1947 and
and consolidated their power they conveniently forgot the promises made to the Sikhs. (The Gallant Defender, Page 22)

Gandhi, Nehru, Patel and Seeta Raam started to speak ill of Guru Sahib and Sikh principles. Gandhi’s speeches against Sikhs were not anything new since he used
to make similar speeches before the independence. In one of his speeches he called Guru Gobind Singh Ji “a misguided patriot” (Sachi Sakhi, Sardar Kapoor Singh, 74-76). According to him, Guru Ji’s teaching of fighting oppression with sword was wrong yet he favored Krishna’s acts
of leading the Pandavs into the battle field against their own brothers. Does this leave any doubt that his thinking was totally foolish and biased? He had forgotten that it was Sikhs who raised their swords against the British which resulted in the independence of the entire
of the entire subcontinent. Hindu leaders started to convince the Sikh community to abandon their religious practices and join the fold of Hinduism. Gandhi appealed to Sikhs to “give up Gurmukhi and adopt Devnagri” (Sikhs in History, Sangat Singh, Pg. 196)
and asked them to leave Sikhi by saying “Cut your hair, give up an obsolete weapon (Kirpan) and merge yourself in the Hindu religion”. (Ibid, 250)
It was not ironic that the Hindus chose the same person to be the “father of nation”. The hatred of Hindus towards the Sikhs

to show its true face.
“I hate the very physique of a Sikh because of the turban and beard.” (Vallabh Bhai Patel, late Indian top politician)
It is better for Sikhs to forget about their distinctiveness and merge themselves into Hindu laws. (Kaatjoo, Greh Mantree)

We do not believe in kicking the minority groups out of the country. Instead, our desire is to change their religion and convert them all to Hinduism. (Mahaveer Tyagi cited in Sikhs in History, Sangat Singh, Pg. 249)

When Pakistan was created at the time of partition it became crystal clear that there remained only one community (Hindus) in India. (Vallabh Bhai Patel)

them from getting higher positions in the government. Under Article 25 of the constitution (unapproved by the Sikh nation), Sikhs were considered part of Hindus. Sikhs were called “lawless people” and “menace to the society”. ...cont ...part 2...
