Not just Sikhs but Punjabi Hindus too hold Shri Guru Granth Sahib and Golden Temple in high esteem. This Holy Scripture is Guru itself and embodiment of the highest ideals lived by the ten Gurus gave supreme sacrifices protecting Hindus and the Nation at a time when thete was no one else help the cause: ‘’Tilk Janju Ka Rakha..’’.
After defeat at the hands of united opposition i.e. Akalis and Jan Sangh(BJP) in Punjab that survived disunion at national level and consequent fall of Janta Govt, Indira Gandhi along with Bhindrawale created a situation where this Hindu-Sikh unity was no longer possible and Sikhs, Hindus all were to suffer. All the players good and bad were political with affiliations spreading across the borders. CIA and ISI exploited the situation as our leaders provided them an oppurtunity. The army had to do this unpleasant task and clean the mess that was created by extreme circumstances for which none else than divide and rule mindset of The Congress Party in General and Indira Gandhi in particular on one hand and Bhindrawale on the other hand is responsible. It would have been better if things were not pushed that far. Unfortunetely she was Prime Minister of India at that time. But Neither Indira Gandhi Nor Bhindrawale represent Hindu-Sikh or India-Punjab.
It’s duty of all concerned not to poison future generations with incorrect extreme versions and one-sided half truths which in my analysis is one of the main cause of high incidence of drug-addiction problem prevalent in succeeding generations of some communities in Punjab and spreading to other parts of the country.
