    Slaughter of Sikhs at Sheikhupura in 1947
    In the annals of human history, few incidents stand as stark reminders of calculated malevolence as the tragedy that unfolded in Sheikhupura, a district adjacent to Lahore, on the Western side, shortly after the Partition. Sheikhupura, known for housing Nankana Sahib, the birthplace of Sri Guru Nanak Dev, was once a prosperous land that generated substantial revenue, primarily for Sikh landowners.
    Before the cataclysmic events of Partition, Sheikhupura boasted a thriving community of Sikhs and Hindus, with flourishing businesses, factories, and agricultural enterprises. The Sikhs, renowned for their hard work in cultivating the land, had turned this district into a productive and prosperous region. However, the harmony and coexistence were shattered by the dark clouds of religious fanaticism and violence.
    The horrors that befell Sheikhupura’s Hindu and Sikh population were among the worst witnessed during the Partition, surpassed only by the atrocities in Rawalpindi and Multan. Pakistani fanaticism, fueled by a chilling murderous frenzy, led to the sudden and brutal demise of between 10,000 to 20,000 innocent lives in a span of just two days.
    The genesis of this orchestrated violence lay in a conspiracy concocted between Muslim Leaguers, civil officers, police, and the military. The objective was nothing short of exterminating the Hindus and Sikhs of Sheikhupura and its surrounding areas. The sheer scale of the planned devilry marked this event as one of the darkest chapters in human history.
    As soon as the Boundary Commission announced the awarding of Sheikhupura to Pakistan, Muslim Leaguers and their collaborators in the police and military machinery swiftly initiated plans for the looting and mass murder of Hindus and Sikhs. Attacks on the countryside commenced on August 18, with Sikhs and Hindus being forcibly expelled from their villages en masse.
    Simultaneously, plans were set in motion to cleanse Sheikhupura town and other urban centers of their Hindu and Sikh residents. The Muslim population actively prepared for the impending rioting, with notable gatherings at the residence of Karamat Ali, a prominent minister. The 25th of August saw the burning of Hindu and Sikh houses in Gurdwara Bazar.
    The nefarious plot escalated with the fabrication of an attack on a Muslim mohalla by Sikhs, a ploy designed to incite Muslims against Sikhs. On the same day, Ranigargha, with its Sikh population of 1,200, witnessed a vigorous attack. The ensuing chaos saw Sikhs being chased by a Muslim mob, followed by the military. The orchestrated violence reached its zenith when, by 5 o’clock that day, the Hindu-Sikh population in the area had been mercilessly slaughtered, and their homes reduced to ashes.
    The tragedy of Sheikhupura remains etched in history as a chilling testament to the brutality that can be unleashed in the name of religious fervor. As we reflect on this dark chapter, let us strive to ensure that such atrocities are never repeated, and humanity moves forward towards a future built on tolerance, compassion, and understanding.

    Sajjan_Thug got a reaction from Soulfinder in Punjab: Christian Missionaries organise ‘satsang’ in Zirakpur, face strong protest from locals during their attempted forced religious conversion program   
    Full article with pictures and videos in link
    On May 21, Hindu organizations and locals protested against Christian Missionaries who had organized a two-day program outside a community hall in Green City, Dhakoli (Zirakpur), district Mohali, Punjab. They alleged that the missionaries were luring people of the locality to convert to Christianity, and the people sitting there were brought from outside. During the protest, the women from the Missionary group pushed BJP leader Neetu Khurana who was protesting along with the locals against the use of a car with ‘Police’ tag by the missionaries. Khurana is General Secretary, Punjab Mahila Morcha.
    The dubious missionary event
    The two-day event started in the locality on May 21 at around 5 PM. The members of the Church group gathered outside the community hall and made announcements on the loudspeaker inviting people from Green City, Mamata Enclave, and Laxmi Enclave (three localities in the area) to come and ‘experience the wonders of Jesus Christ’.
    Though no one from the locality came to hear them, the church group continued praising Christianity for a few hours. During the program, Shlok Aggarwal, a resident of the locality, approached the group and urged them to shut down the program as it was causing unnecessary disturbance. He asked them to lower the volume, but they did not pay attention to his request. Along with Shlok, other locals also objected to the program.
    During the program, the speakers of the Church group made dubious claims. They promised that if the person joined them, he or she would be free of all the financial and health problems. The speaker said, “Jesus Christ will bless you and take away all your problems. If any one of you has any financial or health problems, come and take blessings of Jesus Christ.”
    Outsiders brought inside the locality for the program

    The first objection that was raised was that there were no locals sitting there listening to the speakers of the Church group. The locals alleged that not a single person sitting there was from the locality and everyone was brought in from outside. “It is a threat to the security of our locality. If something happens because of their presence, who will be responsible?” asked Mahendra Kumar, State Planning Head of Dharam Jagran Samanvay.
    Speaking to OpIndia, Shlok Aggarwal, Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad’s Social Media Convener, said, “There is no local resident attending their meeting. I am amazed how they got permission to hold such a program here. They are luring the people in this locality to convert. It is happening all across Punjab. We cannot allow this to happen.” He further said, “I came here with three other people. When they saw our tilak, they threatened us and asked us to leave. We were not expecting the Police would come for their protection. Instead of stopping them from attempting conversions, the Police are stopping us. Are we not allowed to stand in our own locality while the outsiders are attempting to convert Hindus without any fear?”
    Luring people to convert in exchange for perks is wrong’
    RSS Karyakarta Rahul N Sharma said, “These people indulge in conversions in exchange for perks. Luring people to convert in exchange for perks is wrong in any religion. If I go and tell people that I will pay them Rs 1,000 to join Shakha, there will be so much halla bol against it. However, here no one is ready to acknowledge this problem. It is different when people convert over faith to other religions. Still, if someone is getting converted to Christianity or Islam in exchange for money or a promise of a ‘better future’ it is wrong and unethical.”
    “The administration is stopping us from raising our voice instead of stopping these people who are trying to convert our Hindu and Sikh brothers and sisters. I want to ask when is this going to stop? We want an answer”, Shlok said.
    Try to organize it in Panchkula if you have guts’

    A local resident was miffed with the Church group’s attempt to allegedly convert the residents to Christianity. He said, “If you have guts, try to organize such a program in Panchkula (Haryana). Cross the border and organize such a conversion program there. This has become a major problem in Punjab, and the authorities are doing nothing.”
    Another local resident pointed out that such conversion programs were going on without any hurdles because Hindus were not raising their voice. He said, “Now when Hindus have raised voices against the conversions, they are getting agitated. Now they have called the Police to stop us. We will not stop. This is not acceptable, and we are not going to let them try to convert our brothers and sisters.”
    Car with ‘Police’ tag used by Church group

    When the program ended, a car came to pick up the Church group members. To the shock of the locals, the car, which had a Chandigarh registration number, had the ‘Police’ tag on the windshield. They came in front of the car and questioned how a vehicle with a Police tag was being used for conversion programs. The Police tried to remove them from the spot, but they did not budge.
    Questions were raised over permission for a religious program to non-locals

    The local residents who reside in Mamata Enclave, Laxmi Enclave, and Green City raised objections over the permission granted to the Church group for an event without the involvement of the locals. The committees of all three localities denied information of any permission given to the group to use the Community Hall for the event. Generally, the committee gives permission for such events, but the group had approached SDM for the same.
    Notably, the permission documents shared with OpIndia by the locals did not mention the Christian program or ‘Changai Sabha’. The application given by the Church group read, “We are organizing a Satsang at Lakshmi Enclave, Community Center, Dhakoli, Zirakpur. We request you to allow us to use loudspeakers for the same.”
    The address mentioned on the permission letter was of a man identified as Robin resident of Shanti Enclave, which is located outside the gated society. People living around the community hall said they do not know anyone named Robin, and no one came to ask them for permission or even informed them about the event.
    ‘We want forced conversions to stop’

    Speaking to OpIndia, Mahender Kumar said, “These people lure poor Hindus in the name of better education, money and food to convert to Christianity. It is the responsibility of the state, society and Hindu organizations to not let such conversions happen. It is unfortunate that the government and society have failed to stop these conversions. Hindu organizations are working extensively to put a stop to the practice of conversions by luring the poor over fake promises of a ‘better life.”
    Forced religious conversions in Punjab

    Punjab is one of the hotspots of forced religious conversions in the country. Many pastors and churches have mushroomed in the state over the past few years. These groups are luring people to convert by promising them a ‘better life’ and relief from ailments. Alleged prophet Bajinder is one of the finest examples of such self-proclaimed God-men working in the state.

    Converting Gurdwara of Sri Guru Nanak Dev in Arunachal Pradesh to Buddhist shrine an attack on Sikhs - Harjinder Singh Dhami
    Amritsar- The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has taken strong notice of the conversion of the historical shrine associated with Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first Sikh Guru, into a Buddhist shrine at Mechuka in Arunachal Pradesh. Gurdwara Guru Nanak Tapasthan is located at Mechuka in memory of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, which has recently been converted into a Buddhist shrine. On April 8, the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh Pema Khandu shared some photos of his visit on social media, from which it is clear that this Sikh shrine at Mechuka has now been converted into a Buddhist shrine.
    The SGPC President Harjinder Singh Dhami termed this act as an attack on Sikhs and said that converting any religious place of one community to that of another religion is a direct violation of Article 25 of the Constitution of India. He said that Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji had made religious journeys to different countries for the welfare of humanity, which is known as Udasis in Sikh history. Accordingly, there is areference to Guru Nanak Dev’s visit to Mechuka as well.
    The SGPC President said that Gurdwara Guru Nanak Tapasthan was established at Mechuka in memory of the Guru. Historian Colonel Dalvinder Singh Grewal had made an important contribution to the development of this Gurdwara in Mechuka

    Gurdwara Gazette 133 Jeth (May 2023)
    and with the support of the Indian Army, this Gurdwara Sahib was handed over to the Sangat in March 1987.
    “But it is highly unfortunate that now a mischievous attempt has been made to destroy this memorial shrine of the first Sikh Guru. It is unfortunate that the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh after visiting this historical Sikh shrine is showing it as a Buddhist shrine. This act is going to hurt Sikh sentiments, which will be strongly opposed at all levels”, said Harjinder Singh Dhami.
    The SGPC President said that this is a very serious matter, in which the President of India, the Prime Minister, the Home Minister and the National Commission for Minorities should intervene immediately. He said that many cases related to Sikh shrines located in different parts of the country are already pending and now another case has been created. This is another example of discrimination against Sikhs, on which the Indian government should take cognizance and move towards a solution.
