Incredible India - Balwant Singh Rajoana on Death Row

Balwant Singh explained his actions. He described the deep wounds on the Sikh psyche caused by the attack on the Golden Temple by the security forces during Operation Blue Star. He spoke of the State-sponsored pogrom of tens of thousands of Sikhs following Indira Gandhi's assassination, where Sikhs were burnt, mutilated and left for carrion, funeral rites denied, when women were dishonoured, the youth emasculated and homes burnt. He asked the Chief Justice who were the terrorists: those who did these acts or those who defended the victims?
Human beings can fight such injustice and oppression only by sacrificing themselves. Balwant Singh said the government of India had killed its own people.
Beant Singh had licensed tens of thousands of fake encounter killings, abductions, and secret cremations which remained unpunished to date. Balwant Singh said he did not regret his actions. He said the government had mocked Sikh sentiments by honouring and promoting those that led this pogrom.
He did not want to beg for his life, and if the consequence of his rebellion was a death sentence, he would embrace it willingly. Balwant Singh refused to appeal to the Supreme Court and instructed his friends and family not to petition the government for mercy. He also turned away social, religious and political groups wanting to petition the government. He said he wanted to live with respect and dignity and if the state wanted to kill him, he wanted to die honourably. Balwant Singh has written his will and donated his organs for the use of others.
