Two very important things to remember in Jaswant Singh Khalra's case.
1. Khalra's 25,000 figure covers only the cremations. And cremation was just one disposal method; other bodies were dismembered and dumped in rivers, leaving no evidentiary trace.
So 25,000 is where the counting stopped, not where the killing stopped.
We may never know the true number. Cremation happened only when the police chose the municipal route, which is the sole reason any paper trail exists.
Countless others were simply dumped in the rivers, uncounted.
2. But the most important thing is what Khalra's extrajudicial murder achieved.
It sent a chilling message. Khalra had become a beacon of hope for thousands, a tiny diya of light. When that diya was extinguished, it terrified them. Thousands never reported their missing, because they feared for their own families' safety.
The state didn't just kill people. It killed the counting.
Allah Is a Fan of Messi and Mbappé?
Since all the Muslim nations are now out of the World Cup, I have a question for all the dawah influencers who kept telling us that du’a, Al-Fatiha, and sujud were the reason behind every victory.
Now that they’re all eliminated, why are only the “kuffar” teams left?
Did Allah stop answering their du’a?
Did He ignore their sujud and recitation of Al-Fatiha?
Or is Allah cheering for Messi and Mbappé now?
You can’t claim every win is a miracle from Allah, then suddenly go silent when the losses pile up. You don’t get to credit Allah for every victory and invent excuses for every defeat.

“Exposing India’s Brutality in Punjab: The Khalra Story | Part 1 - The Disappeared” delves into the harrowing story of human rights abuses in Punjab, India, during the 1980s and 1990s. It centers on the courageous efforts of Bhai Jaswant Singh Khalra, who uncovered evidence of mass disappearances and extrajudicial killings in the region.
Through archival footage, interviews and expert analysis, this video exposes the systemic violations committed by Indian authorities and highlights Bhai Khalra’s work and methodology which ultimately led to his own disappearance.
The reactions of non-Sikhs and non-Punjabis after watching the film Satluj/Panjab95 may have been the reason for the ban of this film.Because these people were giving a very positive reaction to this film and were able to feel the pain that the Sikhs suffered during that time. Perhaps this film was making non-Punjabi people feel the pain that Sikhs have buried in their hearts even decades after that period. Only a few people from a certain section are opposing this film, while the rest of the people are praising it.
