Brown Sepoys

The Indian traitor families who worked (and still work?) against India

Thapar

The “elite” of India after independence were largely those who had been collaborators of the British. The Thapar clan, including Karan and Romila Thapar, exemplifies that. The British rewarded collaborators who seized the properties of freedom fighters. We’ve been ruled by the sepoys.

“Born in 1855, Karan Thapar’s paternal grandfather was Diwan Bahadur Kunj Behari Thapar of Lahore. He belonged to a section of the Punjabi elite that came into new wealth as commission agents for the British.

Kunj Behari Thapar was also one of four people, including Umar Hayat Khan, Chaudhary Gajjan Singh, and Rai Bahadur Lal Chand, who donated Rs 1.75 lakh to the fund of Punjab governor Sir Michael O’Dwyer — the man who backed the actions of Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer during the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

Kunj Behari Thapar was also awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 1920 for his loyalty.”

Simranjit Singh Mann

Arur Singh (Simranjit Singh Mann’s grandfather)

Here is a picture from Harmandir Sahib in 1919. On the left is General Dyer. This was a few weeks after Dyer killed hundreds of innocents in Jallianwala Bagh. On the right is the manager (Sarbarah) of Harmandir Sahib, Sardar Arur Singh. Arur Singh invited Dyer and honored him with a turban and siropa inside the golden temple. Dyer was made an “honorary Sikh”.

Sardar Arur Singh was the same person who threw away the Murtis of Lord Vishnu from the parikrama of Harmandir Sahib in 1905. He begged General Dyer to convert to Sikhism.

Arur Singh- “Sir Dyer, please become a Sikh”.
Dyer-“No, I love to cut my hair”
Arur-“No problem sir, we will allow you”
Dyer-“But I can’t quit smoking”
Arur-“No problem sir, please give up one cigar per year”
Dyer-“Ha ha okay”.
Arur-“Thank you sir, you are our honorary Sikh”

A few other Jathedars also dedicated a shrine to General Dyer inside Gurudwara Sat Sultani (satlani) Sahib.

Sardar Arur Singh Shergill was a Jat Sikh from Gill clan. He was neither a Hindu nor an Udasi Mahant/Sanatan Sikh. Arur Singh was the same person who threw away the idol of Vishnu which existed in the Parikrama of Harmandir Sahib. No Hindu or Sanatan Sikh would ever do that.

Arur Singh was just a reformist Tat-Khalsa Neo-Sikh who claimed that Sikhism had nothing to do with Hinduism. Such people were promoted by British and given power. The real Jathedar was Akali Baba Sahib Singh Kaladhari of Budha Dal.

When Arur Singh threw away the Murti of Vishnu from Parikrama of Golden temple, he was opposed by Sanatan Sikhs.

13,000 Sanatan Sikhs and Hindus signed a petition claiming that majority of Sikhs did not approve of his move. They asserted that Arur Singh and his ideology belonged to a small section of Sikhs whom they dubbed as reformists or heretical Sikhs( “neo-sikhs”)

In those days, Sanatan Sikhs were a majority among Sikhs. It must be remembered that 13,000 petitions is a very HUGE number in India of 1905. In comparison, Congress annual conference resolutions used to fetch around 500 signatures. It is important to remember this before generalizing.

Eventually, They were also known as Ingrezi Sikh / English Sikhs by some. They didn’t stop at throwing away idols of Vishnu ji. They speared and threw away manuscript of Dasam Granth from Akal Takht Sahib. Why Dasam Granth? Couldn’t be de-hinduized!

Simranjit Singh Mann (Arur’s grandson)

Here is the grandson of Sardar Arur Singh, Simranjit Singh Mann. Simranjit Singh Mann is a self-proclaimed Khalistani. Simranjit Singh Mann has called Bhagat Singh, a terrorist! Simranjit Singh Mann is proud of his grandfather’s deeds.

He has expressed tributes to terrorist Afzal Guru in the past.

He even mocked that the member of parliament, Kangana Ranaut, is experienced with getting raped!
