Russia is the aggressor and Ukraine the victim just like the Sikh’s in 1849, 1947 and 1966.- Simranjit Singh Mann

The Hindustan Times Dated 11th November, 2022

Comments by Simranjit Singh Mann: Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) states that as the heading of this news item of The Hindustan Times shows that it is “Too soon to mediate in the Ukraine war” quoting Mr. S. Jaishankar.
Our Party is of the opinion that it is not Ukraine that has started the war but is a victim of the war Russia has launched against it earlier this year. Prior to this into 2014 Russia has gobbled up the whole of Ukraine’s Crimea. Russia is the aggressor and Ukraine is the victim.
If the Hindu Indian state keeps up the posture of supporting the aggressor Russia then it can receive no sympathy from any quarter for Communist China invading and capturing Ladakh territories in 1962 and presently in 2020.
We do not know how the Hindu Indian state’s mind works but by supporting Russia’s invasion it is ruining its own case on Ladakh.
The Sikh’s mind the aggression in Ladakh by Communist China because it was the Lahore Darbar (Sikh Empire 1799-1849) that annexed Ladakh in 1834 which became an inseparable part of the Sikh Empire.
The Sikh’s as a sui generis sovereign nation differ with the Hindu India’s conception of territories post 1947, as Sikh’s do not accept the imperial boundaries of 1849 and 1947 and the 1966 division of the Punjab, where by the Hindu Indian state under Premier Indira Gandhi took away the Punjabi speaking territories of the Punjab and created states of Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Union Territory of Chandigarh.
Such cartography by the physical strength of imperial Britain and later Hindu India are an anathema to the Sikh peoples and unacceptable.
