Dear Secretary Albright:
Thank you for writing an outstanding book. It is very interesting and informative. President Clinton wrote an excellent introduction as well. In it, he wrote, “During my visit to India in 2000, some Hindu militants decided to vent their outrage by murdering 38 Sikhs in cold blood. If I hadn’t made the trip, the victims would probably still be alive. If I hadn’t made the trip because I feared what militants might do, I couldn’t have done my job as president of the United States.”
Thank you and President Clinton for publicly revealing that. As you know, the Indian government tried to blame militant Kashmiri Muslims for the massacre. Yet in 2002, the Washington Times reported that the Indian government had admitted that its evidence to support that claim was wrong and that it had carried out the massacre itself. Reporter Barry Bearak of the New York Times and two independent investigations (one by the International Human Rights Organization and the other jointly by the Punjab Human Rights Organization and the Movement Against State Repression) found that the Indian government was responsible for this atrocity as well. The confirmation that your book gives to this is helpful in exposing the truth about India’s record of anti-Americanism and terrorism.
As you know, this massacre was part of a pattern of repression that has taken the lives of over 250,000 Sikhs, over 300,000 Christians in Nagaland, over 90,000 Kashmiri Muslims, tens of thousands of Muslims in Gujarat and elsewhere in the country, Christians throughout India, and tens of thousands of Assamese, Bodos, Dalits (“Untouchables,” the dark-skinned aboriginal people of India), Manipuris, Tamils, and others.
Your help in exposing the real truth about India is very helpful. The time has come for freedom for all the peoples and nations of South Asia, such as Khalistan, Kashmir, and Nagalim, to see real self-determination and freedom. This will protect the rights of all minorities, making sure that there are no more Chithisinghporas and allowing all people in that troubled region to live in peace, freedom, prosperity, and dignity.
Sincerely,
Dr. Gurmit Singh Aulakh
President
Council of Khalistan
