How will Khalistan survive even if it becomes a reality, asks Kumedan
Questions raised over feasibility of the State of Khalistan in context of London Conclave of Referendum 2020
By Pritm Singh Kumedan
As per reports in Newspapers, a U.S.A. based Organisation, ‘Sikhs for Justice’ in holding a “Referendum-2020” in London on 12th August, 2018, with the object of achieving Khalistan and in the foot-steps of Pakistan seceding from India.
It is the duty of this Organisation and all other protagonists of Khalistan to tell Sikhs all over the World and also others, beforehand and just now- about the difficulties and hardships Khalistan and its people are likely to face and undergo, after getting a Sovereign State of Khalistan and how those difficulties and problems these Khalistanis will solve.
Suppose India decides overnight “Khalistan Granted with Immediate Effect” and also simultaneously tells Khalistanis that now onwards, India will not have any relations with Khalistan and that India will not be even on speaking terms with Khalistan- all relations cut off. Khalistan becomes a land-locked country like Nepal with only access to outside world through Pakistan. India cuts off all communication including road, rail, telephone, even airspace. Borders sealed- Visa system introduced.
Likely Difficulties and Problems.
The very first thing the two governments of India and Khalistan will have to decide will be:
- Territorial Division: Hindu majority Districts and Tehsils go to India- Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Nawanshahar, Pathankot and Fazilka Districts and Anandpur and Nangal Tehsils go to India. Rest of Punjab goes to Khalistan. Canal Headworks and Hydel Power Projects situated in these territories go to India. Ropar and Harike Headworks remain in Khalistan. No Hydel Power House remains in Khalistan.
- Mode of Partition: It can be on the pattern of Pakistan when One Million people were killed on both sides, lakhs of women kidnapped and raped, immense property and other losses. The choice lies with Khalistanis.
- However even if Peaceful Transition is to be envisaged, can anyone guarantee that it will not be a violent separation and parting of ways and in spite of best efforts of both Governments it turns violent and out of Government Control.
- Exchange of Population: Choice with Khalistanis. If there is to be exchange of population as in the case of Pakistan- 50 lakh, mostly well-off Sikhs may have to migrate to India leaving immeasurable property and assets in India- Equal number of Hindus, mostly working class Harijan Hindus and labourers go to India and occupy houses in India left over by wealthy Sikhs, as happened in 1947 Partition.
Although many other things, problems and difficulties are required to be said here, but leaving aside hundreds of those difficulties and problems, we jump to division of Assets and Liabilities and other such important problems.
India relieves all Sikhs from Central Services, including Army, Airforce, Central Police forces and al such other services and tell them to go to Khalistan. Khalistan get about 1% share in all military store including Airforce and in many other things. Only one airport of Halwara remain in Khalistan.
1.Electricity:
HYDEL– Bhakra, Pong, Dehar Joginder Nagar already in India- With territorial changes, Thein Dam, Anandpur Sahib, Hydel Channel, Kotla, Ganguwal, Mukerian go to India.
2.THERMAL– All Thermal Power Stations remain in Khalistan. But India stops coal supply. Imports of coal not possible. All Thermal plants in Khalistan shut due to non-availability of Coal.
Result: No electricity to run Tubewells, all Tubewells in Khalistan inoperative; no Electricity for homes- no fans, no air conditioners, no fridges, no electricity to run factories. All manufacturing stops in Khalistan- no lights to celebrate Khalistan.
Industry: No Electricity, no diesel to run factories, all manufacturing stops, Factories shutdown, Labourers go home. Sugar mills stop working. Sugarcane rots in fields. Lots of gur for producing illicit liquor. Ludhiana Cycle Industry, Hosiery industry shut down. No import of raw materials and no export of stocks already accumulated.
Transport: India sends back all trucks, Sikh transport owners truck drivers to India. Lakhs of Trucks on roads- No Parking space place available. No diesel to run trucks- No diesel to run buses, no petrol to run cars, scooters etc. All road transportation comes to stand still. No vehicles to go to offices even. People sit idle at home, no electricity for televisions, fans, other household work.
Irrigation: No water available for irrigation. Crops already sown go dry. No new crop sowing as no water, no tractors, no tubewells, no diesel. India stops canal water supply from Madhopur Headworks, Nangal, Pong etc. as we did with Pakistan on 1.4.1948. by shutting U.B.D.C. and Dipalper Canals.
Foodgrains: Punjab takes pride in supplying foodgrains to rest of India. Punjab annually contributes about 3 crores tons of Wheat and Paddy to the Central Pool. India refuses to buy. No buyers now. Next year no problem of selling foodgrains as not a grain will grow in Khlaistan.
Water Supply: system in Urban and Rural areas collapses as in absence of electricity all tubewells stop working. Wells and Handpumps all over Punjab already unfunctional as water-tables have gone down. Canals are dry. No drinking water all over Punjab. Only source of water supply all over Punjab is tubewell water and due to water table having gone down all over the State, not a single well or Hand-Pump in the State is functional.
Relations with Pakistan: Only country having good relations with Khalistan is Pakistan, on whose help Khalistan shall have to rely. Pakistan already facing difficulties of its own on every front refuses to help. Not able to render any help to Khalistan.
Request to Sikhs for Justice.
Please tell solution to even one difficulty or otherwise stop holding this show and ask for forgiveness from our Gurus as we pray daily
“Ab Kee Bar Baksh Bande Ko” and say never again.
And after going back to USA tell the whole world as Saint Kabir says in Gurbani
“Kabir na ham Kia na karenge na Kar Sake Sarir” in future.
