Flashback
British India in 1880 |
After the British Left, the promises were never fulfilled instead they were humiliated by the Delhi Govt time & again due to rise in the Sikh Demands. This went on peak during 1980s that led to attack on holiest shrine of Sikhs in 1984 by the Indian Army. Subsequently, thousands of Sikhs were murdered, looted & raped in the Delhi after Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her own Sikh Bodyguards in Nov-1984. After this incident, a lot of Sikhs who were firm believer of Indian mainstream beofre started thinking of an Independent Sikh State should be formed, many of them flew to west and a lot of them were either killed in fake encounters or were jailed.
Referendum 2020
Sikh for Justice an America Based Organization has started a campaign in order to get succession of The State of Punjab from Indian Rule and form a separate country between the India, Pakistan & China. SFJ has been promoting this process via different channels that includes News Channels and Social Media Campaigning. SFJ has been demanding for a voting to be done in the year of 2020 across the world where Sikh Diaspora exists, however all Indigenous People of Punjab would be able to vote in this referendum regardless of faith, caste & race as per SFJ. This referendum is based on the demands that were presented by Shiromni Akali Dal in a Anandpur Sahib Resolution and it meets most of the aspirations of Sikh Nation.
As per SFJ, this will be a non-binding referendum done through voting. SFJ will then evaluate the results and vow for at-least 51% voting in favour of seeking a Separate Sikh Sovereign State. Following the positive ratio of favouring votes, SFJ will take it to the United Nations in order to appeal for an intervention.
In case they fail to obtain the sufficient number of votes in favour of a Separate Sikh Homeland, they will again re-initiate the campaigning to have another referendum done in future.
