Dear Dr Harjinder Singh Dilgeer,

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa,
Waheguru ji ki Fateh!

This is in response to your message to Sirdar Gurmit Singh Khalsa, Justice of Peace, AUSTRALIA.

Regretfully, I have to say that Master Tara Singh, 24th June, 1884 - 22nd November, 1967, (a Brahmin by birth, raised in a Hindu family and became a Leader of Akali Party and parasite on the Guru Khalsa Panth, was one of the traitors of the Guru Khalsa Panth and as I view it), had least knowledge of the Sikh principles, the Sikh Rahat Maryada alias the Sikh Way of Life, and had special liking for the enemies of the Sikh Nation, Sikh Raj, the 'Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB (under the occupation of the 'Brahmins-Hindus' demoncracy/democracy/Zamhooriat).

My comments are 'NOT' directed at personal level at all. I am writing these words based on what is present in the public 'Domain'. Please see the Following:

"BETRAYAL OF SIKH NATION BY MASTER TARA SINGH With British Documents of Transfer of Power 1947, Written and Compiled by: Ram Singh, Second edition pp. 134, August 2009, ISBN 978-0-9811360-6-6 Published by The Sikh Educational Trust, University of Alberta Postal Outlet, Box 60246, EDMONTON, AB T6G 2S5 CANADA (includes ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS And A FEW WORDS OF THANKS by Dr Awatar Singh Sekhon of CANADA)"

After reading the First edition and views of my older and younger brothers I, on behalf of The Sikh Educational Trust, had to go for the publication of the above title. The Second edition is 'Not' available free to any person.

With regards.

Your brother,
