Mr Usman Khalid, President of the LISA (London Institute of South Asia) spoke that the situation in south Asia has been changing at a very fast pace. This is because of a greatest violations of basic Human Rights in the incredible India since 15th August, 1947, Mr Alan Hart of the United Kingdom made an emphatic and forceful statement that the ‘Democracy’ in the democratic countries has been failing, a new system of democracy is badly needed so that the voice of the electorates could be heard, democratically elected administrations, in both the presidential democratic and the parliamentary systems of democracy, requires far more attentions to look after the needs of electorates and the administrations should pay attention to the voice who have elected them (the electorates and the administration in office). Democracy is for the people and by the people, and the ‘Democracy needs far more refinements and changes to fulfill the need of the electorates’. There is a need of the hour when the Unite Nation alias UN:Human Rights Council must exercise more power to stop the Human Rights Violations in the world.

Professor of Sikhism Gurtej Singh of the view that the “Sikhs and other non-Hindus-Brahmins minorities” are the Slaves in the predominantly Hindu-Brahmins’ India. There is rapid degradation in the “Law and Order” in India.

Incompetent, criminal, murderers, and law-breaking law-makers have been ruling the country, unfortunately. In Punjab [under Indian occupation], more than 25,000 unidentified persons were killed in only three districts of Punjab, when Sardar Jaswant Singh Khalsa, an Akali Dal (Badal) Human Rights Activist, presented his findings to the Punjab High Court, sometimes after the “Operation BlueStar of June, 1984”, a brutal war waged by the Indira Gandhi administration in Punjab, the Holy and Historicland of the Sikhs, in the name of “Operation Bluestar” of June, 1984.

K J Singh expressed his grave concerns on the usage of alcohol and narcotics by the Sikhs, especially the Sikh youth, lack of schools, the schools’ deteriorating conditions, control of the Sikhs’ apex religious and historical places, desecration of the Darbar Sahib Complex, Gurdwaras, poor standard of the college and university education, and growing public health problems all around Punjab.
