The world is going through a very tough time. When we sit in front of our televisions and watch the evening news, we are bombarded with images of war, pain, and suffering. Some are homeless, some are dying of curable diseases or starving to death, others are victims of mass genocide by their very own governments. The same governments that are suppose to be protecting them. People are suffering all around the world.
Genocide has been defined as “the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group”. The Sikhs in India have been the victims of government sponsored genocide and human rights violations for decades, Sikhs are still fighting to have their voices heard and for the perpetrators of these acts to be brought to justice. The government of India to this day continues to work towards ridding the Hindu majority of Sikhs, Muslims, and Christians.
With this in mind, this website has been created to speak out against genocide and do whatever is in our powers to help those in need. We will also actively attempt outreach to other communities who are having the same atrocities and human rights violations committed against them.
The Sikh belief in human rights forms the foundations of the faith. It is derived from its founder prophet, Guru Nanak Sahib, proclamation that all humans are divine and children of Vahguru (One Universal Integrative Force). Divine light, divine spirit is in all of us. Everyone has the birth right to practice their own beliefs and faith. And live a life free of all oppressions. We pray each day for the well being of the whole humanity. Let us come together to prevent and stop genocide. Let us demand from our governments to bring the perpetrators of genocides and crimes against humanity to justice. Let us help those who are suffering. Each and every human being on this earth has the right to live freely: beyond fear and persecution. Together we can make this happen. Together we can make a difference.
