@PreetKGillMP @YouTube *Attack on #DarbarSahib and on gurdwaras across Punjab*... these survivor voices highlight the extent of the widespread assault on civilians. Thank you for amplifying!

Yes, justice includes the Right to Remember and the Right to Reparations!

Thanks for amplifying! These brave survivors share essential #memories, and for that we are ever grateful!

Every Sikh alive in 1984 has a story to tell.

Watch. Learn. Share. If #Moosewala's #SYL has captured your--like millions' of others'-- attention, learn more about those like #SumedhSaini (still unpunished by Law) who had #CommandResponsibility for the murders Sidhu mentions... in the last song before he was murdered.

[Khalra Mission Org @khalramission]

In SYL, @iSidhuMooseWala mentions Bhai Balwinder Singh Jatana. Before Bhai Jatana was shaheed, Punjab Police leader Sumedh Saini ordered Bhai Jatana’s entire family to be brutally massacred. Here is a video with more info on Sumedh Saini and the countless terrors he unleashed.

Sikh identity, including #kesh, as resistance is a theme the #1984livinghistory volunteers have heard very often.
When the news of the June 1984 attacks reached Montreal, Canada, Ranjit Singh Gill’s young daughter asked him to stop trimming his beard.

As we think about the murder of one son, Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu (#Moosewala) going unresolved & unpunished, how can we not think of the pain of the murders of thousands that have never been accounted for? Selective justice is no justice, says Jagdish Kaur:

https://t.co/aXoFQsJGUC

[1984livinghistory @1984LHP]

She holds that the centrality of the Sikh grievance is “ek murder karan wale nu saza…te inna ne taan lakhn muder keete ne”.
(The murderer of one was punished…and yet they have committed hundreds of thousands of murders…”)

[Sikh Family Center @SikhFamilyCtr]

This first week of June is always very difficult for the Sikh community. 38 years later, we remember all those who fell in the attacks of June1984 in India.

[1984livinghistory @1984LHP]

She explains how she has never spoken about 1984 and subsequent years ever since… till she was interviewed by the @1984LHP.

[1984livinghistory @1984LHP]

“I will take revenge on you," she once had her school principal tell her! Today, we pause to recognize the many losses our community faced & challenged in and after #June1984: of confidence, of identity, of life & limb, of childhood.

She had stopped using #Kaur as her last name.

She also now remembers a friend who cut his hair shortly after 1984, and later died of an illness– he believed this was the Almighty punishing him.
