Your Help is Required!


The Human rights group Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) will file a petition before US President Barack Obama on December 15, urging the Obama administration to recognise the 1984 anti-Sikh pograms as a 'genocide' rather than 'anti-Sikh riots.'

The online petition created on the White House official website requires 25,000 signatures by December 15 to warrant a response from Obama. 

The petition urges the Obama administration to fulfil its obligation under Article 1 of the UN Convention on genocide by recognising the 1984 government orchesterated massacre of Sikhs as as a 'Sikh genocide'. The petition argues that the intentional and deliberate nature of the attacks on Sikh lives, properties and places of worship during November 1984 makes them the crime of genocide.

Can everyone please sign the petition and ask others to do so!

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,

I am sorry Veer Ji, I was not sure where to ask this question but I was wondering if you knew the Shaheedi day of Bhai Subeg Singh and his son? Is it a specific day, perhaps on the Sikh Calender?
