The ‘Traitor Certificate’ Culture on Facebook 🎯 Why Every Sikh Gets Labeled ?

The ‘Traitor Certificate’ Culture on Facebook 🎯 Why Every Sikh Gets Labeled ? “Traitor, agent of the intelligence agencies, sold-out, RSS agent — you must have heard these words many times if you follow Punjab and Sikh politics even a little. These ‘certificates’ are already typed and ready in the homes of every Facebook intellectual. In today’s display-culture and social-media monitoring era, it takes them only a second to pick a target — name typed, certificate issued. One day they declare: ‘From today, Bhindranwale is a Congress agent.’ The next day: ‘Deep Sidhu is a BJP man.’ And then: ‘Amritpal is an agent of the agencies.’ This is the new generation-media mindset — loud opinions, zero understanding.” “As you know, the Sikhs fought many battles against Abdali. Two holocausts (Ghallugharas) took place during that period, and there even came a day when half of the Sikh community was wiped out in a single day… In such times, these so-called modern Sikhs and self-proclaimed scholars — the same display-driven, generation-media analysts — if Facebook had existed back then, would have said: ‘What did the Sikhs gain by provoking Abdali? Abdali’s real war was with the Marathas; Sikhs unnecessarily dragged themselves into it. So many Sikhs got killed — what was the point?’ An upgraded preacher-cum-vlogger, just like some do today for social-media attention, would have said: ‘Sikhs were martyred? No… Sikhs caused their own loss.’ They would have cried: ‘Half the community was destroyed… Why did they need to clash with Abdali? The Sikh sardars, out of ego, ended the community by getting 25–30 thousand Sikhs killed.’ Someone from the modern comment-section scholar crowd would ask: ‘If Abdali went after the Maratha women, why did the Sikhs interfere? They would have handled it themselves.’ Many of these generation-media intellectuals would have argued: ‘Sikhs should have thought — if Abdali didn’t spare the Marathas at Panipat, what would a handful of Sikhs be able to do? Why did Sikhs need to attack Abdali? Guru Sahib didn’t make Sikhs into looters!’” ਸਾਡੇ Facebook Page ਨਾਲ ਵੀ ਜੁੜੋ   / panjabflameyt   Follow ਕਰੋ ਸਾਡਾ Instagram Page   / panjab_flame
