‘Beadbi’ in Brampton – Where Is The Sikh Pride? 

Must Read

Palestine supporters in Brampton, Canada defaced the statue of Maharaja Ranjit Singh! The viral video of the incident has sparked outrage across social media. Many are questioning the silence of Sikh communities on this act of ‘Beadbi’, especially those aligned with the Khalistani cause.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh is revered as the “Lion of Punjab.” This valiant Sikh ruler fiercely defended Punjab from Muslim invaders, defeated Abdali forces, and solidified Sikh power in the region. So, the question arises – why are those who advocate for Khalistan in Canada ignoring this blatant disrespect to their history? Why are the very people whose ancestors fought Muslim invaders now allowing their icons to be desecrated?

Ironical Silence of Khalistanis On Brampton Defacement

Khalistan supporters, who frequently demand a separate Sikh state, have remained disturbingly silent on the Brampton issue. How can they claim to honor Sikh history and identity while ignoring the insult to one of their greatest leaders? Maharaja Ranjit Singh was not just any ruler – he was a Sikh warrior who unified Punjab and fought against Muslim invaders.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s battles were not mere skirmishes; they were fights for survival, to protect Punjab and Bharat from external threats.

He was not just a king; he was a protector of both Sikhs and Hindus. His legacy is one of bravery, wisdom, and a fierce commitment to defending Dharma from foreign enemies. Ranjit Singh stood strong against those who sought to destroy the fabric of Bharat, cementing his place as the “Lion of Punjab.”

So, why has his legacy been dragged into ugly politics today? In Brampton, Canada, supporters of Palestine defaced his statue. Their actions spat on the memory of a man who fought for justice. The desecration of this symbol of Sikh pride has gone viral. But more shocking than the ‘Beadbi’ itself, is the complete silence of Khalistani supporters in Canada! Have they forgotten what Ranjit Singh stood for? Have they abandoned the values their ancestors died for? 

Maharaja Ranjit Singh: The Protector of Punjab and Bharat

Maharaja Ranjit Singh was a formidable figure who staunchly believed in the role of Sikhs as the protectors of Bharat. His Sikh Empire was not just an empire of territorial expansion. It was a defense mechanism against Muslim invasions from Afghanistan. He repelled Afghan forces, safeguarding the region for both Sikhs and Hindus alike.

His military campaigns were driven by the belief that Sikhs were the sword arm of Bharat, the protectors of Hindu culture, and the defenders of the dharma.

Under his leadership, Sikhs and Hindus found refuge in a system that was inclusive but fiercely defensive against foreign Islamic invaders. Ranjit Singh Ji was, at his core, a protector of Bharat, a land that Khalistanis seem to despise today. The irony here is glaring. Khalistani groups now find themselves aligned with causes that Maharaja Ranjit Singh fought against. Today, Khalistani supporters stand hand-in-hand with radical Muslims that share an anti-India and anti-Hindu narrative. Thus, is their silence an indication of the Khalistanis’ distorted understanding of their own history?

Why Are Indian Sikhs Silent?

While the ‘Beadbi’ against Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s statue in Brampton has generated outrage on social media, the larger Sikh community in India has remained silent. Why is this? This is not merely an attack on a statue; it is an attack on Sikh identity, on a symbol of pride. Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s leadership, his unwavering defense against Muslim invaders, and his creation of a powerful Sikh empire are points of immense pride for all Sikhs.

Yet, his statue is being used for ugly political rhetoric in a foreign land, and there is no significant outcry.

Where is the outrage from Indian Sikhs who take pride in their history? Why is there no mobilization against the desecration of a leader who laid the foundations for Sikh strength? The silence is deafening! Thereby, raising questions about whether this apathy is a result of the toxic rhetoric fed to Sikh generations by the Khalistani separatists.

This incident highlights a broader issue: the detachment of Khalistani groups from the historical realities of their own faith. The viral video of the statue’s defacement is a symbol of what happens when generations of Sikhs are fed a poisonous narrative, devoid of roots in their own history. The profound irony is not lost on any Bharatvasi!

Khalistani supporters today back the very groups that Maharaja Ranjit Singh fought against.

The same groups that vandalized Ranjit Singh’s statue are part of a larger anti-India, anti-Hindu agenda. How is it that those who preach Sikh pride under the Khalistan banner are blind to this irony? If they truly revered their Sikh heritage, wouldn’t they be fighting this desecration with the same fervor that they claim to oppose India?

The dead silence of self-respecting Sikhs on the defacement of Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s statue is a symptom of identity crisis. The Sikhs have lost their connection to their roots and their identity. Thus, this silence on Brampton Beadbi is a stark reminder of how deeply distorted the narrative has become within some Sikh communities.

The Khalistan movement has turned into a cause that defies the very principles that Sikh leaders like Ranjit Singh embodied.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh and the Sikh Gurus dedicated their lives to defending Bharat. They protected Sikhs and Hindus alike from Muslim invaders that despised Hindus and Bharat. Yet, today, the Khalistanis align with Islamists to spouts venom against Bharat or Hindus! If Sikhs fail to reclaim their history and stand up for their icons, they risk losing the very essence of what makes their community strong.

The defacement of Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s statue in Brampton should be a wake-up call to Sikhs everywhere. Their history, pride, and identity are hijacked into silence by Kahlistanis who seek to rewrite it. Thus, they must stand up and speak out now, before its too late. Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s legacy is not one of silence – it is one of action. He fought for Sikh pride, and now it’s time for Indian Sikhs to do the same.

Hence, the Indian Sikhs should understand how far Khalistanis have strayed from their true roots and reality. Thus, if Sikhs today do not reclaim their history or pride, they risk losing it forever to the Khalistani narrative. Maharaja Ranjit Singh defended Bharat from invaders; now it’s the Sikh community’s turn to defend his memory from silent Khalistanis who seek to destroy it.
