India is projected as the largest democracy in the world because of ever increasing population of the country, But how good is the democratic system? Looking closely you will find that Indian democracy is sham and a lie. Corrupt politicians, arrogant civil servants, terrorizing police, and demoralized minorities make of the nation. The Indian judicial system consists of monkey judges who pass judgement under order from their political masters.

Here are some of the reasons why Sikhs feel betrayed by Indian constitution, political, judicial, and economic system:
1. Eversince independence, Delhi governments have systematically discriminated against Punjab state and favored neighboring state Haryana. Lack of investment have set the economy of state from 1st to 13th position. Why? Is it because Punjab has been ruled by non-Congress party or is it blatant discrimination?
2. During British Raj, the Sikhs represented 35% of army personnel. After independence, this was systematically reduced to less than 8% in 2012. Systematical dismantling of Sikh regiments into Rashtrya Rifles and selection of soldiers based on a quota system has closed door on Sikh youths. Why just break up Sikh regiments and not Rajput, Jat, and Bihar regiments?

3. Diversion of state water to neighboring state, discriminatory distribution of electricity, delayed purchase of crops from the state, and importing wheat from outside has the Punjab farmers in dire situation. Riparian rights are the right of the owner of the land forming the bank of a river or stream to use water from the waterway for use on the land, such as for drinking water or irrigation. International Environmental Law upholds the underlying principle of riparian rights, which is when a river flows entirely within the territory of a state; its use depends on that state. But not so in the banana republic of India. Punjab state is allocated less than 25 % of the waters from its own rivers! (see table below) The remainder is being diverted to the states of Haryana and Rajasthan through the Bikaner, Sirhind, and Bhakra Main Line Canals. This is despite the fact that both these states are non-riparian states to the above rivers. Why?
4. Operation Bluestar was launched in June 1984 to attack Golden Temple and kill thousands of Sikhs. This was followed by killing of thousands of Sikh youths in fake encounters in rural area. Why didn't the government take military action in other disputes in India, for example in Assam, or against armed Maoist naxals?

5. The ruling Congress party masterminded the genocide of Sikhs in Delhi after assassination of Indira Gandhi in October 1984. Over 3000 Sikhs were burned alive and their properties destroyed by armed gangs instigated by Congress leaders. The pattern was repeated in other Congress ruled states in Northern India. Few years later her son Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated by Tamil Tigers for his involvement in the massacre of Tamils in Srilanka. Why was there no public violence against Tamils after Rajiv killing?

6. Sham of inquiries, reports, and court dramas have been enacted by the Congress party to protect its leaders from getting any punishment for their role in genocide of Sikhs in 1984. The victims of Sikh Genocide still wait for justice after 29 years. Why no one has been punished? Are these Sikhs not citizens of the country and deserve equal rights and justice?

7. The government did not waste time and set up expedited courts to sentence Satwant Singh, Indira's assassin, They could not hang the other assassin Beant Singh as he had died during assassination. So the Indians hanged his uncle Kehar Singh instead. Similarly Jinda and Sukha were tried in special courts held inside Nagpur jail and sentenced to death for killing the Congress politicians and General Vaidya for their role in genocide. But the justice is delayed (denied) to prosecute the Congress leaders responsible for Sikh genocide.

8. Indian government wants to hang Prof. Devinderpal Singh Bhullar and Balwant Singh Rajoana despite lack of evidence. But Ravindra Kumar Pal, aka Dara Singh, a Hindu murderer accused of killing Christian missionary Graham Staines and his children was acquitted by the court. Recently Indian Supreme Court rejected clemency plea of Prof. Bhullar after he has already served 18 years in jail but a month later commuted death sentence of MN Das, a Hindu convicted of double murder.

In conclusion, Sikhs are never going to get justice in this banana republic where people feed stray monkeys with bananas. After 500 years of stellar contributions to the culture, equality, and liberty in India, today Sikhs are on crossroads where they need to decide if India indeed is their country or NOT.
