After the partition in 1947,
the Sikhs
from Pakistani Punjab,
came and settled in Indian Punjab.
The Sikh community placed the demand
for a Punjabi-majority State,
as promised by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru,
which Nehru later denied.
Hence in 1950, the sikh leadership launched
the Punjabi Suba Movement in protest.
to trounce the Punjabi Suba Movement,
on the 4th of July 1955,the police attacked the Darbar Sahib.
The sanctity of the Darbar Sahib was defiled. -Long Live Punjabi Suba!
The centre declined the demand
for a 'Punjabi Suba,' that means a Sikh-majority State.
Even the Delhi government...
imposed a ban on the slogan 'Long Live Punjabi Suba'
Yet, the cries of 'Long Live Punjabi Suba'
never stopped renting the air of Punjab.
Long Live Punjabi Suba!
Long Live Punjabi Suba!
Drive them away!
Drive them away!
Long Live Punjabi Suba!
Long Live Punjabi Suba!
Hit them!
Go back! - Long Live Punjabi Suba!
Long Live Punjabi Suba!
Go!
Long Live Punjabi Suba!
Long Live Punjabi Suba!
Go there!
Long Live Punjabi Suba!
Hit them!
Long Live Punjabi Suba!
Long Live Punjabi Suba!
Long Live Punjabi Suba!
Long Live Punjabi Suba!- Shut up!
Get lost!-Punjabi Suha
Punjabi Suba!- Didn't you hear me?
Punjabi Suba!- Quiet!Or l'll shoot!
Punjabi Suna!- Shut up!
Punjabi Suba!
Shut up! Or i will shoot!- Punahi Suba!
Shut up!- Punjabi Suba!
Shut up, your ..!
Punjabi Suba!

Sir! The guests from Canada are here!
My brother is here!
I've been waiting for you since morning!
Waheguru!
How was the Journey?
The Journey was comfortable, brother.
First of all the baggage arrived late.
Besides, the Delhi traffic was so irritating.
Sat Sri Akal, grandpa.
Sat Sri Akal, Son.
Look at you! Fathe Singh is all grown up!
Do you know me, son? I'm your grandfather's elder brother.
Gurnam Singh.
I know. Grandpa told me about you.
He also showed me your pictures.
Amazing. He speaks fluent Punjabi.
Come, song.- Get the baggages. - Sure, sir.
Take it.- Yes.
Lay the table, Gurdeep Kaur. My brother must be hungry.
Canada isn't a stone's throw away! -Right.
Oh, crap!
Run!- Move!
Hurry up! -Run!
Me, too!
Grandpa's pictures?
Grandpa's pictures?
Grandpa!
What is it, Fateh Singh? -The Album.
It,s the saint's album. - Saint?
Yes, son. The saint.
The saintly soldier.
Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale.
These are his pictures.
Tell me about him, grandpa.
Sure, son.
I will surely tell you about him.
Tell me now.
Please tell me, grandpa.
He is the one who instilled the passion in me for the community.
I had the opportunity to serve the Saint.
Sant was born in 12th February, 1947,
in the village of Rode, in Moga District.
Sant was the youngest of all siblings.
His father was Joginder Singh.
And hsi mother was Bibi Nihal Kaur.
Before he turned five,
he took ' Amrit,' the initiation into the Khalsa.
With God's blessings,
Jarnail Singh, while studying in primary school,
under the guidance of Sir Kirpal Singh Bindranwale, studied Sikh theology.
As he grew up,
his love for his master and the sect increased.
One day, the leader of the Damdami Taksal,
Gurbachan Singh Khalsa visited Joginder Singh. -Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa!
Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
It's been so long since we met, sir.
Brother Joginder Singh, While peaching,
Yes. -and serving the Master, time just flies, you never know.
Have a seat. Please get some refreshments. -Sit.
Sure. - Waheguru!
Waheguru!
Waheguru!
Water.
Waheguru!
Hold the finger.
You hold the finger.. you do it.
Brother Joginder Singh, if you don't mind, i would like...
to take one of your sons with me for theological studies.
your wish is my command.
i have no objections.
They are all your sons.
You can choose any of them, for serving the Taksal.
We are indeed blessed.
it's a great service.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
You must take Jarnail Singh for the service at the Taksal.
He doesn't talk much anyway.
He is always meditating upon the Lord.
When Jarnail speaks, the world will stop to listen to him.
Come, child.
Waheguru.
In this manner, after 1962,
Jarnail Singh became an integral part of the Damadmi Taksa.
He completed his studies at the Taksal.
He grew up with the love for his community.
Sant was married in 1966,
to Pritam Kaur, daughter of Sucha Singh.
God blessed them with tow sons.
Ishar Singh and Inderjit Singh.
Because of propagation of Sikhism at different consecutive get-to gathers,
you devotees are worried about your health.
Brother Amreek Singh Ji, Please don't worry.
Please sit here.
it's all right. I'm fine.
Are you sure? - yes.
This is terrible!
Lord, have mercy!
The Sikh community badly needs him.
If he pays heed to the doctors and agrees for the surgery,
his life can be saved.
But he says, he won't allow to dissect his body...
I still remember,
despite the Emergency begin declared,
he had undertaken 37 processions hymn singing endeavors.
He used to preach for fifteen hours at a stretch.
Sir, I hope you remember...
the 300th anniversary of the martyrdom...
of the ninth Nank, The Shield of Inda, Guru Tegh Bahadur.
When Indira Gandhi walked in, everyone arose to welcome her.
But Sant Kartar Singh Ji remained seated.
In his speech, he said that he had no grouse against anyone,
but in the presence of Guru Sahib, only the Guru shall be honored.
Indira Gandhi hasn't forgotten that incident yet.
How is father now, doctor?
We could've saved the Sant.
But...
Waheguru!
He didn't agree for the surgery.
It is the will of Waheguru.
My dear men,
I would like to say something,
if all of you agree.
Go ahead, sir.
I think,
besides the Sant, the community and the clergy...
very much need a General.
you are right, sir.
Jarnail Singh
has immense knowledge of the Gurbani and he is very pious.
If you agree,
I would like to honour Jarnail Singh with this service.
Perfect. You are absolutely right.
Perfect. You are absolutely right.
All of us agree with you, sir.
Bole So Nihal Sat Sri Akal!
Men, has offer a prayer.
Let's take the approval of the Truthful One.
Let's go. - This is perfect.
Great. - Very well.
Only he is brave who fights for the case of the poor.

Bole So Nihal Sat Sri Akal!
Guru's beloved congregation, graced by Guru, empowered as Guru,
let's roar together... Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
Guru's beloved congregation,
I would like to make a request.
Those who aren't initiated into the khalsa yet, should take the 'Amrit...
and become the children of the Guru.
The government says, tell us what you want, we will give you.
I say, serve the Guru and follow the paths of the Guru.
Taksal was initiated by Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Baba Deep Ji was the very first leader of Damdami Taksal.
So what does the government want?
Bole So Nihal Sat Sri Akhal!
The community is going through a bad phase,
So there's a need to carry weapons.
Kindly accept these requests.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji K Fateh!
On the 13th of April 1978, the Nirankaris,
decided to choose the seven stars.
Its revolt could be clearly seen in the Sikh community.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji K Fateh!
Fateh!
Yes, tell me.
On the Baisakhi day,
you have allowed the Nirankaris to hold a convention on Amritsar's soil.
We request you to stop it.
fauja Singh, it's not in my authority.
Only the Chief Minister can instruct the Collector to stop this event.
And the Chief Minister is in Bombay right now.
But Mr Jeevan Singh... - I'm helpless.
I'II take your leave. Sat Sri Akal.
To stop the conspiracy, we have prepared a plan
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji K Fateh!
We had requested to Mr. Jeevan Singh.
But he did not agree.
I think we will have to think of some other solution.
I will have to go to stop the movement.
No, no. - You don't go.
You don't go. You are very shot tempered. You don't go.
You don't go. otherwise we will get an issued.
you will have to follow the order.
Yes, of course.
Okay, if you all are saying then I won't go.
Brother Fauja Singh, you are the chief.
you go with 40-50 of them.
Stop the movement peacefully. - Yes, sure.
As you wish... Sant.

They are devotees of the holy one.
We can't stop tem from coming.
Mr Dalbir Singh,
the Chief Minster is in the Circuit House.
I heard he was in Bombay.
Forget it. He is in Circuit House. Go and meet him.
All right, I'II meet him.
Is the Chief Minister inside?
He is in.Go on. - Okay.
Mr. Chief Minister...

How many Singhs died?
Four?
Eight?
You must ask Mr Janjua.
Stop!
You can't come here with weapons. Go away from here.
Both of us are armed.

Mother, do not worry.
Your son sacrificed his life for the sake of Panth.
His blood will not go waste.
'Nothing's of mine belongs to me.'
'Everything, is Yours.'
Guru Gobind Singh...
Sacrificed his entire family for the panth.
Whereas I have lost only a son.
It's His will.
And sweet is His will.
Brave mothers like you give birth to warriors.
But these Nirankaris have Crossed the line.
What the government and the police have done is appalling,to.
Rather than punishing Gurbachan Singh,
he was led out with full police protedion.
The police escorted him to Ambala.
Kanpur,
Allahabad,
and Delhi.
In these cities too, such untoward incidents took place.
On the 26th of September 1978,
sixteen Singhs in Kanpur,
and in Delhi on the 6th of November 1978,
three Singhs scarified their lives.
The Nirankari Gurbachan Singh's case...
was transferred to the sessions court in Karnal.
Judge R.S Gupta heard the case.
This is a big shock.
Order! Order! Order!
Lala Jagat Narain, be present!
your Honour, whatever transpired on the 13th of April 1978,
I was witness to it.
Bhindranwale, the Akhand Kirtan sect..
..adn the Sikhs are responsible for it.
The case is..
The Nirankaris have nothing to do with it.
No, no.. this is not possible.
Order! Order! Order!
Armed Sikhs entered the venue to destroy the peaceful convention.
Shots were fired in self-defense.
Thinks you.
Sajeevan Singh, be present!
Your Honour, Sant Gurbachan Singh Nirankari is innocents.
I witnessed it myself. Fauja Singh entered the venue with armed men.
The Nirankaris fired in self-defense.
Thank you, Your Honour.
We knew that the Singhs will be betrayed!
This is not right.
Order! Order! Order!
Due to lack of evidence, the court esonerates Gurbachan Singh.
The court also orders the release of the 63 prisoners.
Ridiculous verdict!
We can't expect justice now!
Really? That's terrible.
Even though so many singhs were massacred,
yet the karnal cout exoneraed the Nirankaris!
This is injustice!
Faith does not survive withuot sacrifice
Faith does not survive withuot sacrifice
Faith does not survive withuot sacrifice
Faith does not survive withuot sacrifice
After the acquittal of Nirankari Gurbachan Singh,
hatred and anger gripped the Sikh fraternity.
Due to this anger,the Singhs whose blood boiled..
were Brother Ranjeet Singh,
Brother Dalbir Singh and Brother Kabil Singh.
just check if the oil is okay. - It is fine.
Did you check water in the radiator? Yes.
In 1981, during the census taken in Punjab,
Lala Jagat Narah, the Arya Samj leader,
urged the Hindus to write Hindi as their mother tongue.
He said that Punjabi wasn't their mother tongue.
But one of the Punjabi language newspapers published by him...
Sant Jarnail Singh Ji especially liked to read.
Did anyone read today's newspaper?
What's ther matter, Sant Ji?
What is written? - You tell me..
what's written in it.
Lala Jagat Narain has labelled...
the President of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbankhak Committee,
Gurcharan Singh Torha and the leader of the Akal Takht,
Gurdayal Singh Ajnoha for his American visits,
as betrayers and traitors of the nation.
What are your orders, Sant Ji? - They have dishonoured your fathers!
you need orders?
Was Sant Ji talking about the Lala,
who said that Punjabi isn't our mother tongue?
In the Haryana High Cout too,
he had testified for the Nirankaris.
He even spoke ill about Shri Guru Gobind Singh JI.
Why is he against the Punjabi language?
The Punjabi language isn't his bane;
it is the principles and ideals of the Gurbani written in Punjabi Gumukh!.
He has been chastised several times earlier too.
But he is unreasonable.
What are your orders sir?
Dalbir, get across the car!- Yes.
Speed up!- Yes, yes!
Stop!- Stop the car!
Stop
Who...?
Rode! Nachhatar Singh Rode!
Why are you...? Why?
Forgive...
Forgive me...
Let's go.
After Lala Jagat Narain's death,
the police arrested Nachhatar Singh Rode.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
On the other hand,
the police made a false case,
and hatched a plot to kill Sant Ji.
Sir.
greetings, Sir.
Hello?
Okay.
You are wasting time. Hurry up!
You look worried, sir. -Yes.
The police station called.
They want me to get back quickly.
We have to arrest Bhindranwale today.
Is it? - Orders are from the top.
Hurry up, will you?
Be quick! We are in a hurry.
Quick. Let's go, Constable.
Come on.
Wait!
You are too much, sir.
Did you really fix it?
Wait, Buddy! - what's wrong, sir?
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa!
Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
Where is Sant Ji, Singh Ji?- He just finished the discourse.
Please go in. - Waheguru!
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa!
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa!
Sant Ji, just heard the police are going to arrest you.
They will be swarming the place.
Thank you, brother.
May Waheguru bless you!
This brid is alone, while hunters galore
This brid is alone, while hunters galore
This brid is alone, while hunters galore
This brid is alone, while hunters galore
"There is only one swan in the water"
But the predators are many
This brid is alone, while hunters galore
Take this.
Nothing will go with you
Bhindranwale!
Surrender yourself to the police!
You are surrounded from all quarters!
Come on out!
I repeat.
Surrender yourself to the police!
You are surrounded from all quarters!
You can't escape!
Last warning!
Surrender yourself to the police!
Or, we will riddle you with bullets!
Sant Ji isn't here.
Am I a...?
Do you take me for a fool?
Bring Bhindranwale to me!
Sant!
Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale!
One last time!
Brig him to me!
Else, we will riddle all of you with bullets!
I told you!
He isn't here!
Darn you!
Hey, why is he beating him?
This is too much. Someone go and stop him.
Stop!
Perhaps he is telling the truth.
Go and search the place.
Move!
Go on.
Go and search the place.
Come on.
Go and check.
Get lost.
Did you find him?- No.
Come on.
Come on.
After searching the Gurudwara and the entire village,
when they couldn't find anything, in a rage,
the police torched tow buses... and a jeep of the sect.
In the fire, even the sacred...
..Guru Granth Sahib was burnt.
After the heart-rending incident at Chando Kala,
Sant Ji decided to surrender, on tow conditions.
Fistly, only a Sikh initiated into the khalsa will arrest him.
Secondly, all the men arrested earlier be released.
The Police released the men.
And on 20th September 1981, to arrest Sant Ji,
SSP Jarnail Singh Kaleka was sent.

Here, have some fruits.
Son, the contempt of Guru Maharaj in Chandokala...
And because of the rage that the Sants were arrested..
Bhai! Gagendra Singh and his friends of Dal Khalsa..
..without any weapons hijached anAir India airplane in 29th September 1981.
They got it landed in Lahore.
Because of which Bhai Gagendra Singh and his friends..
..had to spend a lot of time in prison.
And the second plane was hijacked..
..by Bhai Manjeet Singh alias Musibat Singh.
He was shot at Amrisar Airport.
Brother, I had heard that when Indira Gandhi arrested..
..Bholenath Pandey and Davindra Pandy hijacked..
..an airplane for the same reason.
In 1980 Indra Gandhi honored them by making them MLAs.
That's not fair, grandpa.
Son, this is what is heart-breaking.
There are different laws for ministers and chiefs.
And there is a different law for the commoners.
Mr. Gurnam Singh, I hope you remember..
..the Home Minister had given..
..a statement that there are 25 Hindus to 1 Sikh.
No action was taken against it.
But when Sant had replied that 1 Sikh equals 20 Hindus..
..everyone asked to take action against him.
You know, because of this statement, till date..
..Sant is still propagated as a fanatic and a Hindu Hater.
The situation in Punjab had become worse.
Trains were derailed.
Airplanes were hijacked.
Even Akalis demanded Sant's release.
And Delhi Gurudwara Parbhandak Committee's chief Santook Singh too..
..scheduled a huge Nagar Kirtan in Delhi for sant's release.
And finlly, due to lack of evidence..
Sant was released.
Long live Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa!
Long live Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa!
Long live Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale!
Long live Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale!
Long live Sant Jarnil Singh Khalsa!
Long live Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale!
After his release, Sant went to Bombay to propagate Sikhism.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa!- Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
I plead to all the people persent here..

Sant ji, my sister who got married in Lohiya has sent a news..
..that the police killed Amarjeet Singh Dhaheru in a fake police encounter.
And Sant ji, we just received a phone call from Amritsar..
..that Bhai Amrik Singh and Bhai Thara Singh..
..who had gone to the court to release a jeep of the sent were arrested by the Police.
Really?
After hearing this news, on 19th July 1982..
..Sant ji started the war for religion.
During which, every day, 51 Sikhs.. ..used to go to get themselves arrested.
God is Ever-existent Truth!

On 25th July 1982, in Gurudwara Manji Sahib,
a meeting was held.
This meeting would prepare..
..the future image of the war for religion.
Akali Dal joined Sant Bhindranwala's protestors…
..and decided to start a new protest.
In that Anandpur resolution demands were fiven top priority
Anandpur Resolutions, which was drafted in 1973
According to which Kapuri's protest was diverted to Amritsar
And the name of the protest was changed from 'Nehar Roko' (stop the river)
.. To 'Dharam Yudh Morcha' (battle for righteousness)
This protest began on 4th August 1982.
Akali Dal joined Sant Bhindranwala's protestors…
..and decided to walk together under one Nishan Sahib.
During the Dharam Yudh protest the process..
..of getting arrested continued uninterruptedly form.
..19th July to 4th August 1982.
Dharam Yudh protest was at its peak when..
..an untoward incident took place.
'A bus full of arrested Shkhs hit a train..
..at Taran Tara's railway crossing.
36 Sikhs were martyred in that incident.
And a large number of them were injured as will.
Hey!
Even after this sad incident, Sikhs didn't deviate from their agenda.
They continued to get arrested.
Punjab's prisons were filled to the brim
Government had no option but to release the Sikhs.
Finally the government ordered to release all the sikhs.
This was the first and the biggest victory of the Dharam Yudh Protest

You have arrested one of my brave ones.
Release him as soon as you can.
Okay? – Okay, Sant..
Take him outside.
Let's go.
Sodhi, you should run away.
What happened, Inspector?
What made you change so quickly?
I told you, you should run away.
Please go.
Fine.
Please go.
Thank God.
Grandpa, Surinder Singh Sodhi must have been a great Sikh.
Son,
All the Sikhs in the group were great Sikhs.
Like General Shabeg Singh, Bhai Amrik Singh...
Bhai Rashpal Singh and his wife Bibi Preetam Kaur Khalsa.
Bhai Thara Singh, Harminder Singh Sandhu..
And many more Sikhs who were always..
..ready to sacrifice their life for their religion.
General Shabeg Singh Was from the family of a great warrior..
.. Bhai Mahtab Singh Merakotia, who slayed Massa Rangar.
In 1965 during India Pakistan war..
.. General Shabeg Singh got a telegram from his home.
Shabeg Singh, I want you to move from here with your regiment.
Sir, if we camp here,
We can cover all this.
Very good
In this way, you can cause a lot of damage to the enemy's infantry
Right, sir, a telegram for you.
Shabeg Singh, what happened?
Is everything all right?
Sir.
You must take leave.
You should attend your father's funeral.
Sir, my country needs me.
My nations more important than my family.
And sir, I don't want anyone else to know about this.
No one in my regiment should know about this.
Thanks you, sir.
What happened after that, Grandpa?
Son, the hero of Mukhti Bahini and the recipient o..
..Param Vashist Sewa Medal and Ati Vashist Sewa Medal...
This highly decorated general was dismissed for the army..
..a day before his retirement without being court-martialed.
After some time he met with Sant ji...
He was so influenced by him that he joined him.
Brothers.. – Yes, Sant Ji. – To fight for one's freedom is not terrorism.
To make your destiny is not terrorism.
Terrorism is looting what doesn't belong to you.
And to suppress the voice of freedom…
… with the sound of guns and bombs is terrosim
Yes absolutely, Babaji
Bless us.
Congratulations, Rashpal Singh on having a son.
Congratulations. – Thank you.
Sat Sri Akal
Congratulations. Congratulations. – Thank you.
Congratulations to you too. – Thank You
Congratulation to you too. –Accept my best wishes.
It is God's grace.
He is Bhai Rashpal Singh.
He left his government job of teaching..
..and to became the PA of Sant and served him.
He got married to Bibi Pritam Kaur at Gur Ram Das Langar…
…Hall's roof on 20th February 1983.
God blessed him with…
… a son on 19th May 1984.
Hello.
Pritam Kaur, we are fortunate that Sant ji name our son.
Manpreet Singh.
Hello, Khalsa.
Fulfill our demand!
Fulfill our demand!
During the DYM…
…'Block the roads' protest was done on 4th April 1983..
And on 17th June 1983 'Stop the train' protest was done.
During these protests many Sikhs were martyred by the police.
On 6th October 1983,
The Central Government dissolved the Punjab Government…
… and declared President's rule in Punjab.
Fulfill our demands.
Son, Sant ji had become so popular…
… that people clicked their photos with him and got promoted.
Moreover, the issues which couldn't be…
… resolved in court or by the police…
… were getting resolved after people visited Sant ji.
People had started coming to Sant with their problems.
Sant ji,
Sikhs have always been saving…
…the honour of women from the Mughals.
But today some goons kidnapped my daughter.
If you are right and there is no other reason behind it…
…then your daughter will be in your house before 5:00pm.
Thank you, Sant ji. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Mahinder Singh Sayian, this is your responsibility.
As you wish.
[Girl Crying]
Leave.
Look, I don't want to cheat you.
She is very stubborn.
Thank you so much, Mr. Singh.
No need to thank me, Mr. Hukumchand.
We must treat ll women as our own daughters and sisters.
Bye, Sister.
No Problem.
I will do it. - Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru ji ki Fateh!
Yes? – Lawyer,
A copy of Ramayana was burnt in Kapurthala.
Are you representing the prosecution?
– Yes, Sir
Sant ji has sent you the fees on behalf of the sect.
Thanks.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru ji ki Fateh!
This story is about the time when Subramaniam Swami,
Had visited Sant ji for a week at Darbar Sahib.
The girls in – laws are here.
Please have a seat.
Please take a seat, lady.
So, young man, you want dowry?
No, Sir. – Pick it up. Keep as much as you want.
I don't want anything. I don't want dowry.
Sant ji, we don't want dowry. – If you don't want dowry,
Why are you harassing the girl then?
Be sensible. - Of course, sir.
Tell me if you need something. - No, we don't want anything!
Be sure about it.
Think over it.
She is my daughter.
Ask me if you any need anything.
But don't harass my daughter again. - We won't harass her, sir.
You better not! - We won't, sir.
This time, we are cordial. Next time, we won't be.
Sardar ji, your demand for DYM (Battle for Righteousness),
Won't be met.
You must let it pass. Compromise with the Government.
You will be voted back to power in future.
And the Center will honour and respect you.
What do we do about Bhindranwale, Sir?
Don't worry.
The government is all set for operation sundown.
It will be carried out anytime in January.
Sant ji,
Bhindranwale is holding on firmly to Sikh ideals.
We have also sworn sacrifice with millions…
…for this battle for Righteousness.
And in such a situation,
I don't find a way to escape.
There is a way.
What is that?
By eliminating Bhindranwale.
But how?
That has been taken care of.
Surinder shinde has been freed from the Jail…
Just for this reason.
Oh.
Shinda!
Sat Sri Aklal.
Sat Sri Aklal.
Baljit and I will do this job together.
Just arrange…
A room for us at Sarai.
Just do this job, Shinda.
I won't let the government even touch you.
You will
get your money.
Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Sant Ji, what if he is caught?
If he is caught, they will kill him.
Else, we will kill him.
In any case, they will be blamed.
Physical death is not death to me,
But the moment my conscience dies, I die.
A Sikh is dead when he keeps his conscience at the feet of Mrs. Indira,
He surrenders and says that Sikh isn't a community.
I think that Sikh is dead.
One day, Baljit Kaur came for the discourse,
With a gun to kill Sant Ji.
But she couldn't muster the courage.
Then Shinda and Baljit decided…
To kill Surinder Singh Sodhi,
Who was Sant Ji's right hand.
Waheguru!
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ka Fateh!
Mr. Sodhi, tow people came looking for you this morning.
The will come again, Mr Bhatia.
Get me a glass of hot milk. – Right away.
Chotu, give Mr. Sodhi a glass of milk.
Understood?
Brother,
Shinda has been harassing me nowadays.
Please reason with him. I feel terrible
No issues, lady. I will talk to Shinda.
Don't worry.
Kill him!
Kill him!
What did you do, lady?
Today Babaji is looking very good.
Let it be. Pay attention to duty.
Where is the car going…
Come lets, see.
Why have thy put up barricade? – Stop the car!
Stop! Stop!
Stop!
Its our man.
Yes?
Where are you coming from? Where are you going? Its 11:00pm
Get off. – Relax.
Talk to the officer. – Fine. I'll talk to your officer.
So how's life?
Sat Sri Akal, Sir. Sat Sri Akal.
Sir, I'm a very important person to the Government.
I killed Sodhi, Bhindranwal's right hand.
And for that the government gave me a huge sum.
Sir, I found a pistol and a watch in his car.
Really?
Do the watch and the pistol belong to Sodhi?
Yes… yes, Sir.
It is Sodhi's.
And sir, I'm Surinder Shinda.
This is exactly why the Government freed me from the jail.
Don't you know? – How shots did you fire at Sodhi?
Seven
I pumped seven bullets into his chest.
He just dropped dead!
Well then, look at me!
Into my eyes!
General Labh Singh...?
A slap was enough to kill you, Shinda!
But Singh's always retaliate in kind!
In less than 24 hours,
They avenged Sodhi!
That bleeding flunkey of yours disclosed everything!
Contact Delhi as soon as possible.
Tell them to take further actions.
Drink water, Relax. Relax.
I have fixed you meeting with the center on the 26th of May.
Do not worry at all.
Go to Delhi.
You can place your grievances before the government.
Nothing will happen. Drink water.
We must take some actions.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
Come in, Lady.
Sant ji, this lady has come from Sathiala.
She wants to have a word with you.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
Please sit. – Sit. – Be comfortable.
Sant Ji,
I want to have word with you, in private.
No issues, lady. They are all our own.
Do not worry. Tell me what you want to.
Sant ji, my brother is in the army.
I have found out that…
The army is preparing to attack the Darbar Sahib.
Thank you, lady.
I have received such news several times.
Rest assured. We will not let the Panth be disgraced.
Brother Rashpal Singh ji, - Yes Sant ji?
Let the lady partake in the meals. –All right Sant Ji,
Come on, lady.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
Is he willing to compromise?
He is not willing to compromise.
All right.
The plan is in place.
Twelve meetings were held to find a solution to the Punjab agitation…
Out of which three meetings were kept secret.
Details of which are found in the White paper…
Released by Indian government on the 10th of July 1984.
Despite all those meetings,
Both sides could not reach a conclusion.
And eventually, the holocaust took place.
All right, brothers, please excuse me now.
Jagtar Singh is here. Please send him in.
I need to discuss something important with him
Welcome, Jagtar Singh Ji.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
Have a seat.
Sant Ji, the troops have been deployed.
Can we still find a way out?
Jagtar Singh Ji, let me be clear,
This is not my battle, it is the Akali Dal's.
A compromise can be made on two conditions:
Firstly, all the demands of Shri Anandpur Sahib resolutions must be met.
The agreement should be made with the Akali Dal in a fair manner.
Right – Secondly,
All my brothers who are arrested must be released.
If it happens, I will go to village Mehta tomorrow itself.
I have no issues. – All right.
After the meeting with Journalist Jagtar Singh,
Sant ji had a very important meeting…
With a senior reporter.
The recording was sent to Indira Gandhi in Delhi.
Even then, operation Bluestar happened.
Though Sant ji was willing to compromise,
On the condition that all the demands of the Dharam Yudh Morcha be met,
Without discounting.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
My dear, Khalsas, the day has come that we've been looking forward to.
They will come by air, they will come on foot as will.
Those who have more than one weapon,
Leave one aside.
Our new members need weapons.
You will not open fire first.
Only if the paratroopers land inside the Temple,
you will open fire. Not otherwise.
If the enemy attacks, bom them!
Bole So Nihal… Sat Sri Akal!
Singhs,
You will not harm the elderly, the fallen,
The unarmed…
You know my disposition.
and women.
you know my disposition.
If I have hurt any one of you.
then I have erred in judgement
All of you have lent me great support.
You have stood by me with all your heart and soul and wealth.
it is for me now to stand by my community.
Bole So Nihal.. – Sat Sri Akal
If anyone wants to leave, you can leave.
This monk will stay put!
It's either me or them!
Bole So Nihal.. Bole So Nihal..
I have to tell you something, brother.
May I?
Sure, Sant Ji.
Please do not keep in in your heart.
After I am gone,
Whomsoever you choose to lead, do it with consensus.
If you want to perform my last rites,
You must do it on the road,
Outside the Darshani Deori.
Do not make a memorial for me.
Just hoist the Nishan Sahib, the community flag.
The reason I want my last rites to be performed on road is…
I will have the blessings of the congregation who walk by.
Bole So Nihal… Sat Sri Akal!
Bole So Nihal… Sat Sri Akal!
[Music in background]
1st June, 1984.
The paramilitary forces had already set camps…
In the private buildings around the Darbar Sahib.
The Central Reserve Police Force started firing at 12:40pm.
The firing went on till 7pm.
Having been trained by Gen. Shabeg Singh, an expert in Gorilla warfare,
So fearless militant Singhs…
Did not return fire for some strategic reasons,
Even though more than a dozen innocent pilgrims had been killed.
2nd June, 1984. The Indian army…
sealed the international borders from Jammu…
and Kashmir to Ganganagar.
The army deployed seven divisions in the Punjab Countryside.
After sundown the media and the press were gagged.
Rail, roads and air services were suspended.
Communications were completely cut off.
Punjab was cut off from the country and the outside world.
Water supply to the Darbar Sahib was cut off.
3rd June, 1984.
It was the Martyrdom Day of Guru Arjun Dev Ji.
The curfew was lifted.
People were allowed to enter the Darbar Sahib.
The curfew was imposed again in the evening.
Due to his the people who went inside were trapped.
4th June 1984.
On the morning of June 4th, the Indian Army…
Fired approx.. 35 cannonballs,
Which ripped apart the quarters and burst the water tanks.
The count of dead Sikh piligrims inside the Darbar Sahib kept rising.
5th June 1984
Even after 72 hours of fierce battle,
The army was far beyond its target.
On the other side, surviving on roasted grams and sweat to drink,
Spent and sleepless, the guardians of the Sikhism,
The dauntless, valiant warriors,
Held their camps.
On the night of 5th June,
A symbol of Sikhism, a sacred structure,
Shri Akal Takht Sahib was demolished.
The front side of Shri Akal Takht was completely destroyed.
Only a pillar remained.
Even the adjacent buildings…
Were bombed and razed to the ground.
'The human body overflows with lust and rage, O my friend
'These demons can be dispelled only by meeting the Holy Saint'
'By pre-ordained destiny I have met the Guru'
'I have entered the realm of the Lords Love'
'Greeting the Holy Saint with folded hands is an act of great merit'
'Bowing to him is a virtuous act indeed'
'The thorn of ego keeps the faithless away…
… from the lords sublime essence'
Waheguru!
[Gunshots]
Waheguru!
Waheguru!
Waheguru!
Babaji!
Babaji!
Babaji!
On the morning of 6th June 1984
as early as 1:30am,
General Shabeg Singh
While inspecting the Singh camps,
Was shot when he had reached the Nishan Sahib, The Sikh Flag.
And Brother Bakshish Singh carried him to Sant Ji.
Gen. Shabeg Singh Ji…
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
Holy sire,
I think Waheguru has had enough of my services.
As I promised,
I didn't leave my weapon behind. I carried it back.
Waheguru himself chose you for this service, Shabeg Singh Ji.
Tell me, how do you feel now?
Holy Sire,
The soul feels very joyful.
The Singhs are facing the cannons bravely.
I am blessed to be in the abode of Guru Ram Das Ji,
And to die on you lap.
Its bliss!
It is only matter of time.
Proceed, Shabeg Singh Ji. I will follow you.
It's a bliss indeed!
The community in which people like you are born,
Is a high-spirited one, Gen. Shabeg Singh Ji.
You will always be remembered…
For the fortification and your tenacious resistance.
For the Guru Panth, your services is incomparable.
Mere mention of your services,
Will give the warriors the strength and resilience to destroy the enemy!
Your services and sacrifice for the community,
Will be held in the highest regard.
And it will be always remembered.
On the morning of 6th June, Sant Ji offered a prayer at the Akal Takht.
After the prayer,
With brother Amrik Singh, Brother Gurumukh Singh Garvai,
And other followers, Sant Ji came out.
As he paid obeisance to Darbar Sahib,
Brother Amrik Singh attained Martyrdom.
Then Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale,
Attained martyrdom beside the Nishan Sahib, the Sikh Flag.
Grandpa,
The government shouldn't have attacked the Darbar Sahib.
Son, the government didn't attack the Darbar Sahib alone.
Many other Gurudwaras were attacked.
Son, the Army had taken more than 180 hand written scripts,
Of Guru Granth Sahib Ji have yet not been returned.
Son, the attacks continued for a decade and a half.
Countless families were brutally tortured.
Countless boys were picked up from their homes,
And shot near the canals, inside jails and on the roads.
They did not even hand over the dead bodies.
A very famous Human Rights activist, Jaswant Singh Khalra,
Who identified 25,000 unidentified bodies.
The police picked him up from outside his house in broad daylight…
And shot him.
6 September 1995.
Come on! – Move it!
Where are you taking me? – Get In!
Get In!
Leave me.
Where are you taking me? Let me go!
Sir! – Where is Khalra?
He is in the lock-up. – Haven't you killed him yet?
Sir, give us some time. We just brought him in.
I don't care. Until you kill him,
I'm not going from here.
All the atrocities of Mogul reign and the British reign,
They have been taken over by the Government
That's why they attacked on Harminder Sahib.
I make a strong appeal to all Sikhs
To retaliate in the best possible way,
They should be combat ready. They should be prepared to fight
This could be a big sign of slavery of Sikhs,
The sin that just took place.
They don't like Sikhs.
They want to kill them.
But their wish won't get fulfilled.
Because there have been many who have tried to exterminate Sikhs.
But it won't go away that easily.
Cherishing the comfort of Satguru's feet, beloveds of Guru,
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
I will tell you a fable
The sun…
Was setting for the first time.
AS it was going down,
The light was decreasing.
As the light was decreasing, the signs of darkness were appearing.
There was a great tumult everywhere.
People were worried that after the Sun hides,
Darkness will set in,
And no one will be able to see anything. They felt helplessness!
The entire world was worried,
But the sun set.
Then the darkness, in order to show its might,
Set its foot on Earth.
But somewhere far away in the little hut,
A little lamp raised its head.
It proclaimed, 'I challenge the darkness'
'If not much, at least I won't let darkness settle around me'
'I will establish light around myself'
It is said that, watching that little lamp,
Lamps began springing up in every little hut thereafter.
And the world was amazed…
That these lamps stopped Darkness from spreading,
So that people could see.
I believe,
Today,
When darkness is trying…
To overwhelm the truth…
With all its might,
Then if not much the self-respecting Punjab…
Is challenging the darkness like the lamp.
And I pray to the Guru, who identifies with truth,
To keep this lamp always lit.
Bole So Nihal! Sat Sri Akal!
