Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh, Dear Fellow Sikhs,

Given below is a petition to the President of the United States by 19 US congressmen on the issue of human rights in India. I am forwarding this letter because I believe in the power of the pen. We have successfully conducted cyber campaigns and I believe that we need to make our collective voices heard.

We need to draw up a list of issues that needs our attention and begin a campaign, much like the legendary Morchas of the past.

One issue that is very much close to my heart is to see justice done on behalf of the victims of the 1984 Delhi massacre of Sikhs. We should start creating public awareness of the atrocities that were committed on those fateful days. We need to lobby governments, NGO's, the media, on this issue. 2004 will be the 20th anniversary of the attack on the Harmandir Sahib and the massacre of the Sikhs in Delhi and other parts of India. I heard that there is a movie being made on the Delhi massacre. So maybe an initial public awareness campaign can be coincided with the release of the movie.

We have an online media (www.), a plethora of web sites, numerous panthic-minded activists, enumerable online discussion groups, what more do we need? A cohesive action plan. A strategy. A willingness to take up a cause and fight for it.

Are we up to it? I am.

Gur Rakhaa.

Tejinder Singh
