Washington DC: November 17, 2004: This year's huge 25th annual (silver jubilee) parade, held on Sunday November 07, 2004, organized by Gurdwara Sahib Turbiana Road Yuba City, California, (which event also commemorated the 296th anniversary of tenth Guru Gobind Singh Ji's 1708 declaration of Guru Granth Sahib as the eternal Guru of the Sikhs) was attended by over sixty thousand colourfully dressed Sikh men, women and children who had come from all over United States and Canada representing the over one million prosperous North American Sikh diaspora community.
The Sunday November 07 Yuba city five miles long Sikh parade, complete with about fifty beautifully decorated floats and numerous Guru ka Langars where the marchers were fed along the route, was held on a beautiful clear sunny day. The most prominent among the fifty floats was the popular Sikh Youth of America float which, surrounded by thousands of marchers, was decorated with photographs of many Sikh martyrs including the greatest Sikh of the 20th century, Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale, and the two Sant Sipahis who despatched the evil-incarnate Indira Gandhi in 1984, martyrs Sardars Beant Singh and Satwant Singh.
The huge gathering which had assembled inside and outside the Gurdwara Sahib Turbiana Road Yuba City around 10 AM (before the start of the five mile long colourful march) was addressed by prominent Sikhs who had come from all over the United States, Canada, UK and India. Local city and state officials also spoke. Dr. Amarjit Singh, Director of the Washington-based Khalistan Affairs Center, electrified the over sixty thousand strong audience, (seated inside and outside the Yuba City Gurdawara) when he concluded his keynote address by raising the most popular slogan of the 25 million strong Sikh nation (three million Free and prosperous in the Sikh diaspora and 22 million captive in the world's largest Brahmin-caste-dominated and misruled Castocracy - India) which says:- "Akal Takht ton`Ayee Awaz" five times. Each time Dr. Amarjit Singh raised the slogan, which is traditionally considered a kind of a referendum by all Sikhs, "Akal Takht ton`Ayee Awaz" the sixty thousand strong gathering responded with a full-throated unanimous thunderous shout of "Khalistan Khalistan."
Khalistan is the demand of the 25 million strong Sikh nation for an egalitarian democratic buffer state in South Asia, stretching from the Jumna River on the East to the Pakistan border on the West, Kashmir on the North and China on the North East, which will act as a bridge of peace and commerce between South Asia and the oil/gas of the seven Stans of Central Asia. Appended below are a few photographs of the participants who voted in the historic Khalistan referendum in Yuba City, California, on November 06, 2004:-
