Genocide of The Sikhs
There have been countless reports and literature available on the terror and atrocities committed against the Sikhs and the Genocide of the Sikhs, committed either directly by the Government of India and its agencies, or cordoned by the government, when such atrocities are committed against its minority races. In both circumstances, the Government of India is wholly responsible through its actions or, inactions, through its total lack of duty of care towards all its citizens, and, its bias towards one majority race.
Irregardless of the perpatrator, the state had neglected to ensure that the rights of its minority citizens are protected, but rather, it has time and again acted to ensure that it does not displease the majority race. Countless lives of men, women and children had been lost trough this state sponsored terror, over the decades, since its independence. Despite, there being countless amount of reports and literature available, both online and in hardcopy format, India, remains the tyrant state today as it was when it was formed in 1947.
To give an opportunity to the people, to get a true and better understanding of the terror and atrocities committed against the Sikhs, we have with the assistance of other like minded people and organisations compiled here links of and titles to reports and literature available. The Inclusion of any book or item in this list does not in any way suggest that www.kesrilehar.co.uk endorses the same. We only attempt to put together as complete a listing/bibliography as possible, including the good, the bad, the negligent, the incompetent and the mischievous.:
