Book Description
Back of the Book
It is an old trick in the intelligence setup of major states to create their own stringent but controlled opposition. This has a twofold objective. First, it attracts and centralizes opposition resources and honest grassroots members, inciting them to put on a great show of force. Second, it ensures that this "resistance" remains only a pretense and prevents them from achieving anything of real value because the duplicitous leadership don't want any true change to come of it.

It has always been a challenge to maintain the purity of any movement or organization. Infiltrating to sabotage from within and give a bad name, thus justifying the unleashing of oppression, has often been the basic framework in which the intelligence agencies have worked in India in the context of suppressing minorities. But this is very difficult to document.

The author of this short but incisive book has done a wonderful job of exposing a fraudulent scheme which seems to have no other purpose than to stifle our Sikh community's political voice in the United States of America. In this particular case of the Sikh Caucus, the deception has been named and nailed. This kind of documentation is perhaps the most effective way of leading the community to the straight path.

Treading that path is necessary to avoid being bogged down in the quicksand of extreme slogans made without any preparation or consideration of the consequences something which accomplishes nothing more than to attract a disproportionate reaction that decimates the true struggle. Perhaps in the future, the community will take greater care to avoid emotionally pledging unquestioning loyalty to the people who display the most influence and power, only to finally find themselves betrayed. Rather, those who alone deserve our cautious and conditional support are the brave souls who speak the truth consistently and live a straight, simple, and honest life.

Introduction
"We are farmers, not terrorists." This slogan, first raised by the hundreds of thousands of protesting Indian farmers who began converging on Delhi in November 2020, has been amplified by their supporters around the world. The Sikhs of Punjab the "breadbasket of India" are at the forefront of these mass protests. Longer-lasting than the protests against the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) which began in 2019, this Kisan Morcha (Farmers Protest) represents the most significant and sustained pressure that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's regime has faced since his ascent to power in 2014.

Thus, Modi is desperate to seize on every trick in the book in an attempt to defame and destroy a movement that has, as of this writing, garnered international attention and support. While farmers of all backgrounds gather from across India to oppose a set of agricultural reforms passed by his government, Modi has spotlighted the most disproportionately represented and most visible demographic among the protestors: the (often turbaned) Sikhs. Invoking the specter of China, or Pakistan, or even the separatist movement for Khalistan, Modi and his vast propaganda network have attempted to project the protesting farmers as puppets of vested interests.

The same modus operandi was adopted to disparage the anti- CAA protests that began in December 2019. Led largely by Muslims, the mass peaceful protests were dismissed as the work of "terrorists" or "jihadis" acting as stooges of Pakistan. Earlier, this approach was used to smear prominent activists and academics as "anti-nationals" or "Urban Naxal" (a reference to the communist Nasality insurgency), thus justifying their arrests in what is known as the Bhima Koregaon conspiracy case.

Such narratives are intended to deliberately dehumanize dissenters and thus desensitize the public to their detention, torture, or even slaughter.
