How RSS Fought Khalistani Separatists in Punjab in 1980s, Promoted Hindu-Sikh Brotherhood

News 18  

There is a sordid saga behind the rise of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. It noted incidents like throwing cigarette butt-ends and severed heads of cows into Gurudwaras and temples and said that this was done “with a view to desecrating them and inflaming passions as it can never be the handiwork of anyone with love for the integrity and unity of the country.” RSS was the first to raise a finger of suspicion on foreign hands behind the divisive games and stated, “In view of the asylum extended by countries like Pakistan, England, America, Canada to extremist elements, existence of an international plot also cannot be ruled out. And it was Guru Govind Singh who, with the clarion call of ‘May Hindu Dharma rise and the evil forces flee,’ roused nation’s martial spirit through the Khalsa. May I spread dharma and prestige of the Veda in the world and erase from it the sin of cow-slaughter.’” Panj piyaras of Guru Gobind Singh came from different corners of Bharat and different castes. The purely Sikh coinage ‘Wahe Guru’ appears only sixteen times.” This excerpt from Conflict Resolution: The RSS Way by Ratan Sharda and Yashwant Pathak has been published with the permission of Garuda Prakashan Private Limited.
