Giani Zail Singh was the first Sikh, the first Punjabi, and the first person belonging to the backward classes to become President of India.His earliest inspiration came from the martyrdom of Bhagat Singh and his companions on 23 March 1931. He worked to defeat the forces of communalism and exploitation in Punjab during the period 1962-72. Had he as supreme commander resigned after 1984 riots, there would have been chaos and Sikhs would have suffered immensely. It was because of his decision that Sikhs could become army heads and PM now.
The Richard Nixon administration in the US had initiated a "covert action plan" in collusion with General Yahya Khan's government in Pakistan in 1971 to encourage a separatist movement in Punjab, This plan envisaged the encouragement of a separatist movement among the Sikhs for an independent state to be called Khalistan. In 1971, one saw the beginning of a joint covert operation by the US intelligence community and Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence to create difficulties for India in Punjab. The then Pakistani military ruler Yahya Khan invited Jagjit Singh Chauhan to Pakistan, "lionised" him as a leader of Sikhs and handed over some Sikh holy relics kept in Pakistan, which Chauhan took to the UK to win a following in the Sikh diaspora. "With American and Pakistani encouragement, the activities of Chauhan continued till 1977.

Back then there was no AC even in the Ashok hall of the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Sometime we take so many little things for granted.
