For over three decades, the Indian state has waged a silent war on the Sikh spirit,not with bullets alone, but with the cold steel of endless incarceration, broken promises, and deliberate denial of basic human dignity. This is not justice. This is tyranny dressed in the robes of law. This is a calculated campaign to crush the voice of a community that has bled for this land, yet is treated as its eternal enemy.
Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara,a man who has spent more than 30 years behind bars. Their death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment(14 years). He has endured the harshest conditions, from Tihar to Mandoli Jail, labeled a “high-risk” prisoner far from his Panjaab roots. Even after acquittals in other cases,including a major explosives matter in May 2025 that cleared his path for parole,no mercy has come. Applications for parole, transfers closer to home, even temporary release on humanitarian grounds, all denied or delayed into oblivion.
Their mother, Narinder Kaur, lies bedridden, her body failing, her only remaining wish to see her son one last time before she departs this world. She has appealed directly to authorities. A mother’s dying plea is ignored,how cruel, how heartless must a system be to let an elderly woman suffer in agony while holding her son captive on technicalities?
In late 2025, representatives from 66 villages across Punjab 40 from Khamano in Fatehgarh Sahib, 15 from Ludhiana, 11 near Hawara itself,passed resolutions declaring there is no danger to society if Bhai Hawara is released.
This is no isolated cruelty. It is part of a larger pattern of Indian state tyranny against Sikhs. Dozens of Sikh prisoners,labeled “Bandi Singhs”,languish in jails across Panjaab (Punjab), Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and beyond, even after completing their sentences or earning legal relief. Human rights reports continue to highlight prolonged detentions under draconian laws like UAPA, selective prosecutions, and denial of parole that other convicts receive.
The Sikh community, which fought valiantly in every war for India, which feeds the nation through its fields, is rewarded with suspicion, surveillance, and suffering. Families are torn apart, elders die without closure, and youth are radicalized by injustice rather than healed by mercy.
This is not law enforcement,it is revenge. It is the ghost of 1984 still haunting Punjab, Operation Blue Star’s wounds unhealed, the anti-Sikh pogroms unpunished, and now the slow suffocation of those who dared to resist. The state fears the Sikh spirit because it cannot be broken by bars or batons. It fears the day when prisoners walk free and speak truth to power.
We demand,no, we roar,for immediate parole and release for Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara so he may stand by his dying mother’s side. We demand freedom for all Sikh prisoners who have served their time or pose no threat. We demand an end to this apartheid of justice, where mercy is granted to some and denied to Sikhs.
To the governments in Delhi and Punjab: Your silence is complicity. Your delays are torture. History will judge you not by your elections, but by your humanity or lack of it. To the Sikh Panth worldwide,Rise! Speak! Protest! Support the families. Let the world hear that we will not forget our Bandi Singhs.
Justice delayed is justice denied. Justice denied to Sikhs is tyranny exposed.
