Just heard on the radio that the Sikh leader who signed the
peace accord with Govt. of India has been assasinated. The radio
was silent about the name.
*I assume it was Sant Harachand Singh Longowal.*
I am sick and mad at people who justify killing in the name of
religion. For those who harbour aspirations of an independent
nation carved out of India, they can learn a lesson from the
not too old history of India.
We always lost our liberty and freedom when ever we split up in
smallar states.
It is very easy to hate. It takes bigger heart to put personal
grief and interests aside and rise to greater interests. To my
simple mind, Harachand Singh Longowal rose above the ordinary
when he showed courage to negotiate. I'm sure he knew of the risks
involved.
May he rest in peace.
