A Critique of Speech Delivered by Sirdar Tarlochan Singh in the Upper House of Indian Parliament (Dec. 14, 2009) Hardev Singh Virk Ex-Professor of Eminence, Punjabi University, Patiala I had the privilege to review the book "Role of A Parliamentarian (Tarlochan Singh's Speeches, Mentions & Questions in Rajya Sabha)" published by Punjabi University, Patiala in 2016. Sirdar Tarlochan Singh was elected to the Indian Parliament from the state of Haryana, with the support of BJP and INLD, as an independent member of Rajya Sabha for a term of 6 years from August 1, 2004 to July 31, 2010. In the history of Indian Parliament, he is one of the rare Parliamentarians who has shown the temerity to publish the record of his speeches delivered in the Upper House of Parliament. The Calling Attention Motion of Sirdar Tarlochan Singh was admitted in 2009 in the Rajya Sabha to discuss the 1984 riots. This was for the first time after 25 years of the traumatic events that the discussion took place in the Parliament. The purpose of this critique is to highlight the impact of his speech delivered on 14 th December, 2009 during call attention motion on killing of Sikhs in 1984. Some of the highlights of his speech are as follows: 1. Sikhs were the sword arm of India. About 35000 Sikhs were massacred fighting Ahmed Shah Abdali in what is known as "Vadda Ghallughara" in Sikh History. 2. Sikh leaders joined India in preference to offer of a Sikh state by MA Jinnah in Pakistan. 3. Despite assurances by the Indian leaders, no special rights were included in the Indian Constitution for the Sikhs as promised to them by Gandhi and Nehru. 4. The Sikhs made sacrifices for the freedom of India; about 90% Sikhs were imprisoned in the jail in Andaman & Nicobar; out of the total proportion of the people who were hanged in India about 80% were Sikhs. 5. He compares the massacre of Sikhs in Delhi in November 1984 for 3 days with the massacre carried out by Nadir Shah for three days in Delhi during March 1739. On 1 st to 3 rd
