Nobody is trying to 'provoke Sikhs in India to take revenge.' We are calling for accountability and justice by courts. Many have hoped that it would come from the Indian judicial system, but we have come to learn it is a farce. Now we take our pursuit of justice to the world stage. We will clamor for accountability in international courts and help push for international recognition of these despicable acts of state-sponsored genocide.
All of those historical examples are cases where Sikhs did not 'move on' and 'forget the past.' They were engaged and pursued justice. Today, the sword is no longer the primary weapon. The pen is also powerful. We begin there.
You are right there is much for Sikhs to introspect about their roles in the violence and trauma to the community, often at the hands of other Sikhs. Still this does not justify the state-sponsored violence and continued impunity by the Indian State.
