The recent act of the Khalistani supporter, comparing Hanuman"s courage to save a woman"s respect with Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale"s divisive act of creating the cause of "Khalistan", proves the futility of the Khalistani movement.

In a recent video that has surfaced the social media, another incident that reflects the absurdity of Khalistani motives is being observed. In the video, the Khalistani leader seen calling Hindu deity, Bhagwan Hanuman, the 'first international terrorist' in the world.
 

Khalistani call hanuman terrorist 
 
 
In the past month or rather a few weeks, Khalistani provocations have increased considerably, starting from vandalism at the Indian High Commission building in London where the Khalistani crowd brought down the Indian tricolor, immediately followed with another similar act of vandalism at Indian Consulate Building in San Francisco. In the most recent incident, Dal Khalsa UK Leader Gurcharan Singh was seen publicly calling Bhagat Singh a 'TRAITOR' and "BOOTLICKER' of Brahmins, on the day of Shaheedi Diwas.
 
In the latest news that comes in regarding the Khalistani act of provocation is where a leader of the cult has targeted Hindu sentiments and called Hindu god, Bhagwan Hanuman, world's first international TERRORIST. A video that is going viral on the internet shows men in turbans waving Khalistani flags saying, “Listen, If you and your media will call our Sant Baba Ji Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale a terrorist then you will have to listen to this and answer our questions. That your Hanuman was the world’s first international terrorist. He crossed the borders illegally, had no visa and did not even care about the sovereignty of the other country.
 
He goes on saying about Bhagwan Hanuman that, “He reached the other country (Lanka) and for one man he set ablaze the whole country, civilians were killed still you (Hindus) celebrate it as ‘Lanka Dahan’. It was your personal problem with Ravan still you killed civilians, crossed borders, and set ablaze their houses, then how can you call the problems of ‘Sikh’ your personal problem?”
 
 
 
 
 

What the Ramayana teaches?

 
 
The Indian epic of Ramayana is conceptualized by Valmiki and is penned down in poetic verses. Therefore, the story consists of several figures of speech & has deeper implications than what has been narrated merely in the story. The tale of Ramayana talks of values of humanity and is not merely a record or narration of an incident. At present, the research for fact check of the epic is in progress with several Archaeological excavations taking place across the nation.
 
Although none of the incidents of the Ramayana can be discussed in isolation, however, since the recent 'absurd act of Khalistanis' has called for it, let us once again look at what the Hanuman's role in the story really talked about. Due to Ravana's act of abduction of Sita, an act of adharma, her consort Bhagwan Ram tries to find her and get her back home safely, but while he is not crossing any social bounds, which is why he is called 'Maryada Purushottam'. However, with that he gains little success.
 
At such time the act of Bhagwan Hanuman plays a vital role, who in order to save Sita Maiya from Ravana's 'adharma' goes beyond the social bounds and restrictions of civilized behaviour in a civilized society, as that is what the severity of Ravana's act of 'adharma' calls for. In case, one's confused of who decided that Ravana's act is of 'adharma' then, when anything that belongs to someone else is claimed falsefully for oneself, it is also 'adharma' (unrighteous), that is just what Ravana did when he decided to abduct Sita Maiya. Hence the final takeaway, of Bhagwan Hanuman's role in Ramayana is that when 'adharma' calls for it then it is also right to go beyond the believed restrictions imposed on us.
 
Despite of all this, the moral takeaways from Ramayana vary from person to person, based on their overall perception of life. And the approach to accept multiple perceptions of the same narration is something unique of the original Hindu Dharma, and is hardly observed in other worldly religions.
 
 

Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale's act of terrorism (Adharma)

 
 
Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale, the founder of the Khalistan movement, had proposed for a separate state for Sikhs, a purpose for which he lacked the support of the Sikh community itself. Bhindrawale forcefully tried to impose his agenda on fellow Sikhs as well as the nation, by capturing the sacred Golden temple in Amritsar, calling it the centre of the Khalistan movement. He strongly promoted violence for implementation of the 'Khalistan' movement.
  
Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale's acts take place in times when the established state has a prescribed security model and code of conduct, which if not followed then it can be counted as a criminal offence since the functioning of the state & everything and everyone that resembles to be a part of the state is liable to the 'Constitution of India'. In such circumstances, when you know that your acts are defined as 'act of terror' in the state, and yet you continue to forcefully implement your 'personal' agenda, against others' will, then it becomes not only a crime in modern terms but also act of 'adharma' as per the Hindu philosophy.
 
 

Will the provocation work?



Earlier, when Khalistanis called Bhagat Singh a 'Traitor' and 'Bootlicker of the Brahmins', particularly on 'Shaheedi Diwas', the cult intentionally attempted to provoke the nationalistic sentiments of Sikhs who haven't sided with the Khalistan movement & stand solemnly with their motherland, India. In another attempt, ahead of Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti coming in a few days, Khalistanis making such remarks on Bhagwan Hanuman and calling him 'Terrorist' clearly seems like the STEP II of an intense plan that this time aims to target not the Indian government but the sentiments of Hindus.
 
If we try to analyze this act psychologically, then it is certain that the statement calling Hanuman a terrorist was made precisely ahead of Ram Navmi and Hanuman Jayanti expecting violent reactions from Hindu organizations world wide. Hindus, too are a part of the Khalistani game plan, whom they intend to sacrifice to achieve their motive. Now its up to Hindus, whether or not to fall for the trap!
 
However, the recent act of the Khalistani supporter, comparing Hanuman's courage to save a woman's respect with Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale's divisive act of creating the cause of 'Khalistan', proves the futility of the Khalistani movement and substantiates why the movement lacks support of Sikhs worldwide.
