 The assassination of memory
Kalam Nishan Singh
This is the time for the community to watch out for
those denying us our past, for then we will not have

only denied; denials also
bring holocausts. |

 The Memories and A Memorial
It is to counter denials of history that we need a
memorial to
the martyrs of Operation Bluestar. We were promised
one, and we have been denied one.
By our own. By those who
claim to represent us.
