Amar Singh Chamkila was a famous controversal singer of the 80's who most of you have probably heard a lot about.
He sang songs with filthy dirty lyrics and was killed in 1988.
A lot of people say he was killed by other singers because of jealousy and I have also heard he was killed by Singhs, because of his immature stupid lyrics.
Does anyone know what the story behind this assasination was and was he killed by Singhs? - who were they, from which group? (well, the ones who were accused anyway - if any)
Thanks in advance....

i think he was killed by black cats (police officers) and then blamed on singhs to weaken the support that the public was giving to the singhs.
chamkila was very famous, villages used to get together to see him so the govt decided to kill him and blame it on the singhs. i don't think that true millitants would haved killed him because they never targeted innocent ppl.

the singhs from the jalandar district under the command of Shaheed Lt General Baba Gurnek Singh Neka and Shaheed Bhai Bhurpur singh Gorhia ji killed him after several warnings (see www.shaheedkhalsa.com). it was under the command of the Panthic Committee that a hukam was given under the social reform movement to rid panjab of the social evils of dirty songs, drugs, dowry etc

no1 knows for sure, whether it was the militants, trick by govt, industry rivals or amarjots brothers.
whoever did it and for whatever reasons it was wrong, the woman was at the time pregnant, an innocent band memeber was also killed and militants got a bad name coz chamkila was and still is a legend in punjabSingh87 wrote:

i would be interested to know who killed him too i have heard another version that chamkilas brother in laws were gangsters. He would put them down in his lyrics and be proud that he had taken their sister. So they had him taken out.

chamkilla unlike other singers sang dirty songs (plz dont' say all songs are dirty) very filthy..the singhs warned him on many occasions stop filling our culture with such filth..... but he would'nt stop.
so the singhs stopped him dead in his tracks.

ok the act of singing dirty lyrics deserves an end, what about those who indulge in such acts before marriages? the problem now is not one chamkila singer but in most places peopel are doin things like that outside marriage than one person singing about it.
so how do we put an end to that?
the singhs have stopped chamkila but they could not stop the wider disease gripping everywhere.

kuldeep manak and lal chand yamla jatt sang much better songs. Chamkila could have been good if his songs related more to sikhi with the vulgra crap out. Its a shame because he was talented but we cant have ganth being spread which is a soft way to describe those songs. Some of chamkilas songs were like soft porn they had to stop.
i love manaks voice it would have been wicked if he stuck to dharmic songs my best ones were "ooj de jajaru khalsey", " " jhaga jhaga jhandhai kesari " from manak and "meeri peeri dah malik" and slow motion " din basakhi da lokho" by yamla.
If these two guys were singhs in a rensbhai it would be a dream come true to listen to these do shabads cos they sang from the heart man they would electrify it.
(manaks dharmic songs got me into sikhi).

Also, is it more likely government killed Chamkila or the Singhs???

here are the theories you decide:
1) Chamkila was the most popular singer of that time 10000times more so than his rivals in the industy, therefore due to jealousy he was killed
2) Chamkila sang dirty lyrics and singhs gave him warnings (doent mean they killed him, many ppl were threatened and still are alive today)
3) Govt took avantage of the threats by the singhs and had him killed, to give the singhs a bad name
4) Chamkila's <cut> Amarjot's, her brothers dissaproved of them being together plus there was a caste issue too.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fetah.
I know most people will disagree but just thought I’d give my point. The way to stop things like this is not by killing people. By forcing people to stop singing whatever lyrics or listening to them by cold blooded murder is being a terrorist, and certainly is not in line with Gurmat.
This event gave the whole movement a bad name, I for one would never fight along people who kill unarmed civilians just because of the lyrics they use.
When ever anyone talks of Chamkila they always say artwardies (Sikh Terrorists) killed him, and other band members in cold blood. This will always give the movement a bad name, and make it more plausible to conceive that Singhs used to do things like killing Hindu’s off buses etc. Such things always BACK FIRE, which is why the movement collapsed so quickly although it was supported by Pakistan (because it lost the respect of the people).
What’s next killing all mona’s etc. This is what the Taliban does not the Khalsa.
The way to stop such things is through perchar not force. If he wanted to continue singing that’s his paap. Far more productive to educate the masses about Gurmat rather than forcing them to change by murdering singers. If after parchar people don’t want to change so what, it does not justify taking the life of someone’s father, son or whatever.
It was also a cowardly act, why were the Singh’s concerned with shooting a singer not even involved against them when real dushts were roaming around freely after the 84 riots.
Sounds like he was an easy target for fanatics.

Chamkila was killed by rival singers not by the militants. Once killing him, they just put the blame on the militants. This happened alot during those years. When ever anyone was killed in Punjab and Haryana during those days, the blaim was automatically tagged on the militants even though the militants had no part in the death.

If you have this video - I would be grateful if you could send it to me via MSN Messenger of some other method - I would really appreciate it!

i am not sure whether singhs killed him because gill surjit was also killed. Gill surjit used to belong to someone elses group, basically chamkilas team was taken from someone before they were with him, and chamkila got more famous than others they got jelous but also had money and power to have him taken out.
i have heard it was made to look like a kharku stykle shoot out to avoid suspicion as he had been warned to sort himself out anyway .
Surely if the kharkus took him out then it makes no sense why other singers were left. I cant imagine a kharku by the mould of guru jis beliefs would kill an unarmed woman ( amarjot) and unarmed man who had nothing to do with it (gill).

Before getting killed Chamkila came to Toronto and sang religious songs in Malton Gurdwara Sahib and I think Dixie Gurdwara Sahib too. I was there to listen to him. He was very humble and promised to give up singing bad songs and promised to sing more religious songs.
The religious songs that he sang were just great. His song "Saatho Baba kho liya tera Nanakana" was a really well written and well sung song. He used to write his own lyrics. Another one of his song which too was written by him is an imaginative conversation between the wall that buried younger Sahibzaadey and the poet. Amazing song it was.
Chamkila was not the only one who used to sing bad songs. Which singer did not sing bad songs? Even Surinder Kaur, the nightingale of Punjab could not stay away from singing bad songs ( duets with Didar Sandhu). There is no doubt that these bad songs were destrying our culture but the way to stop these songs was not to kill the singers. Militants had numerous options on hand and they should have exhausted other means before resorting to this final mean.
I think Chamkila would have reformed if he had been given a chance. I am not sure if militants killed him but if they did, it was their shortsightedness. Some militants (there were only a minority of such militants) determined death to be the punishment of every offense. I don't think his little falterings warranted a death sentence and it is such actions as this one that took away from militants the sympathy of the common person.

VahiGuruJiKaKhalsa,VahiGuruJiKiFateh!
Sadh Sangat Jio,
if it was 'Sikh militants' that killed him, then that was obviously out-of-order and blatantly anti-GurMat. it would also raise another issue...
a Singh and myself were discussing the other day that to become a genuine Khalsa Jujharoo, one would have to have an excellent and pretty immaculate Jeevan; strict Naam Abhiyaas, Nitnem, Paath, Seva etc.
if 'Sikh Jujharoos' did kill Chamkila, then it shows that atleast some involved in the Panthic struggle did not have such a GurSikhi Jeevan...that is why i respect the original BKI philosophy; 'if you haven't managed to get your basic Jeevan in order, please do not consider becoming a Jujharoo'.
Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh once said to a rich person who followed their cart, as it left a village, that they should come back and feel free to use his money to do more Kirtan, Parchaar etc. Bhai Sahib asked him 'did you do your Nitnem this morning'. he had not done so...imho, i think Bhai Sahib was getting this person to explore a root issue...
Seva cannot become Sufal (frutiful/meaningful) when it has not been given the chance to become Sufal...when the Jeevan is lacking, their is no water to noursih the field of Seva and so it either does not grow, or its growth is stunted or (in the case of Chamkila's murderers, assuming they were 'Jujharoos'), it comes out all twisted, gnarled and perverse. such Seva can only be described as Seva of the Mun...not Seva of Siree Guru Sahib Ji.

veer jugroop singh jio,
i couldnt agree more with your views. a genuine jhujaroo/kharrkoo would have the JEEWAN first. This is the reason we DONT HEAR any such tales about the KHALSA JI of 1708...and after.. They had JEEWAN and were Naam bahiyasees with Bhau and Bhaeh Bwau - BY
The trouble thsi time was that the GOI/RAW etc infiltrated the Kharrkoo Movement and these peopel committed these anti social criems to blacken the name of the lehr and defeat it from within. Once the POPULACE withdrew support...the genuine khaarrkoos also had no life line...whcih was what the GOI planned all along..ISOLATE and ELIMINATE.

apney out there told me that the kcf and a lot of the kadku lokh were themselves fresh from the punjabi culture scene and understood matters in the panth. It is wrong to give them a bad name like doing their nindia by attributing this killing to them.
They knew what chamkila did was not good however they had nothing against him that justified kill him. They gave him chances to reform, they loved his voice and told him off instead of killing him. However nefarious business rivals who wanted him taken out because of rivalry smelled that as a perfect cover to get him killed. Dakus were sent in dressed as kadkus and as you know money puts a price on life in a hellhole like india.

Baba Harnek Singh TOOK responsibility EVERYONE knows that in the movement. Sorry to break u dreams but reality it’s a war sometimes things have to be done. Chamkila was a silly singer who thought he cud not be touched occhhh did they touch him in to reality
Just because u like his songs does not mean u support him, because ask anyone at the time they supported the social reform movement under the command of the Five Member Panthic Committee. Funny how u all call Baba Gurbachan Singh Manochahal a great Gursikh etc etc it was under his command that the PC gave this call. Guess u all going to call Baba Ji what ever etc etc.

Who' cares!!
But if your really interested, it was Singhs in the movement the names mentioned by indy are as correct to the piont as you will get, Chamkila was a great singer and had a wonderfull voice he also did dharmik songs, I was in India at the time of his death, The village he was killed is called mesapur, my Bhua is married there, my phuffar (who is not a singh) was at the concert at the time, chamkila and his partner were shot on stage, al people watching ran for their lives in to the fields, none of these people were hurt. All of chamkilas team were killed he best freind was shot and stood face first against a tree, he was shot again when the police came because he refused to turn around (the police not realising he was already dead)
Chamkila was known as a ladies man and he sang very very filthy songs, he was always trying it on with vulnerable women and he as killed to prtect society at a time where songs like his were not called for, in todays society we accept alot more than we should in them days, things were different. We had respect and self respect, we had Honour and we fought for it. These days we tend to spend our times just being derogitive to people and doing " nindiya" without a thought, If we spent as much time reading Bani and doing Simran we might actually get somewhere!! I am a sevak at your feet please forgive me if a offend anyone with any of my comments.

so the issue is our youths were being misled by music.
But chamkila was one of thousands of other singers. Why just him?
why was it no other bhangra singer was asked before him? and why was no other bhangra artist shot dead after him? this is all weird if its only to do with youths being misled because thats exactly what happened a few years well after chamkila was dead.
No other singer was taken out.
The englandi bhangra singers visited india umpteen times on tours why were they not killed?
The kind of lyrics promoted by other singers also involve
perving on phabbis
singing songs about the physical charms of a damsel under 16 ( peodophilia),
falling in love with a gurl from the same pend ( lust relationships of course is anti gurmat and trying to be with someone with a same pend person is classed as incest),
and of course caste songs which have disunited apney youth.
These are all heavily affecting our society from the mid 80s but it is very strange how chamkila was singled out and everyone else left and even more odd how after chamkila event this issue was never addressed again and no one else was killed as during the said "time of war" sikhs fully armed cvould have killed any bhangra artist if they wanted. Heera have even made songs in punjab during the mid 80s in punjabi films and no one touched them. Do we need to go into their lyrics?
But why chamkila over anyone else?

As Kulbir Singh and otehr veers have already mentioned, whilst his songs may well have been filthy, shooting him was not an action in line with the spirit of Gurmat.
What HONOUR??? Shooting an unarmed man on stage and his pregnant partner???
This is called HONOUR??? This is termed RESPECT???
It is shame to hear these words associated with such actions by BOSS.

You guys sound like a bunch of children! Poor chamkilla with his little mistakes! I take it you guys have actually heard the songs he sang? Maybe you havent, if you had you would see just how vulgar they were. And not the mainstream ones, the 'other' ones. Other so called artists were also told to cut it out eg Malkit mr golden star was told on many occasions, in the end his own village is said to have told him to leave. So there goes the theory that it was just chuamkilla.
Why do you choose to analyse this topic from your armchairs? Put youselves in the shoes of a people who are impossibly outnumbered, under supllied, desperate to do the best for their guru and panth. Today many of you will get your blood boiling over x y and z, and yet when other people ask you why you get so angry or have a problem with x y z, you will tell them that they cannot understand, or ultimately you are made to look the fanatics. How can you even hope to understand what these people went through or struggled and fought through?
Jagroop who talks about jeevan etc, how many jeevan wale singhs/kaurs do you know? How many of them are ready to leave their homes, children, husbands wives mothers fathers, nice lives etc to go and die for the panth TODAY. TODAY beadbi of guru ji is happening across punjab, various issues need dealing with across punjab and the us and canada and uk etc. Where are your jeevan wale gursikhs to deal with these problems? How dare you say that these people OBVIOUSLY didn’t have enough jeevan??? How much have you got?? Let me see you do even 1% of what they did or sacrificed!! Don’t just talk let me see you people enter the madhaan and fight like shere the same way we all talk day in day out!
So inspiring to see kids today judging the jeevan of shaheeds, when they themselves havent most likely even grazed a knee for the panth.
If these guys are such villans, I guess all of us who sit in gurdwara chanting vaheguru all night should be the ones doing the seva 'suffal seva' yeh? Well why don’t we? Are we to assume that allll those singhs and singhnia at rehnsbahi's etc that none have 'enough' jeevan to be a proper jhanjaroo? If they don’t then tell me where are the ones that do? Where are your perfect khalsa soldiers?
You need to wake up, this is war we are talking about not some game. In war people get killed, sometimes the wrong people get killed, sometimes war gets downright dirty. Can u guarantee that no bullet EVER fired from a jeevan vala singh ever struck an innocent, or damaged his business or affected his family? Go on guarantee me that!
Yes in war innocents will die, but then the mothers and fathers of the guilty are still innocent themselves, yet we cause them grief do we not when we slaughter their beloved sons?
Those who finished of chamkilla did so for whatever reasons they saw fit, if u dnt agree then fine, but dnt assume that singhs had no jeevan, purely because you do not understand their actions.
Respect to all those 'moneh' and 'sehajdhari' and 'jeevan lacking' sikhs who fought and died in the streets of punajb for the freedom of the sikh people and for Guru granth sahib ji!! RESPECT to those who had no hair on their faces yet still died for the nishaan sahib while the pag wale sat around doing their vaheguru vaheguru and chatted on internet forums!!
You talk of khalsa rajh and the armies of the khalsa, when and if u get khalistan will you arm your soldiers with knives and axes? If you give them guns and tanks and misslies then if they go to war, inncoents will again be killed. Yes there is a different between accidently killing inncents, and not, but equally these is the point of strategiclly hitting people/targets to have the desired affect.
Grow up and enter the real world, in all wars in the modren era, people will get killed. It’s a fact, either live with it or oppose all war. But do not glamorise war to be something where ony the good guys kill just the bad guys and vice versa. That’s a DREAM.

chamkila started off as a "tea boy" type then tumbi boi for already established artists up there.
Imagine what its like for an artist, your tea boy instrument cleaner band support member suddenly overtakes you and nicks half your people your bread and butter.
cham decided to give singing a shot himself, became successful, took half someones band with him and made it at the top. He took a female artist with him, married her against her brothers wishes, who were not only gang nuts but had a caste issue with chamkila while he publicly mocked the fact he took their sister away with the song about his sharpening spear awaiting her brothers.
A lot of people wanted him dead its no surprise it happened.

amarjots bros had chamkila and amarjot killed, he took the piss out of them and their family then they showed him and wasted her. Back in those days thats how apney dealt with matters if someone took their sister away, caste situation was stronger then and they were not ordinary joes to be messed with.
It was wrong to kill him or anyone for that matter under such a circumstance but rather just outcasted her instead of wasting them if it hurt that much.
kadkus had bigger better things to do than have a barny with a singer they were busy covering their own backs and standing up against police excesses. They were not stupid a lot of kadkus were very smart minded people from colleges unis leaving their futures and entering a madhaan. They knew fully the result of killing someone like chamkila would mean a big blow to the movement as a lot of people liked his voice. They instead warned him to reform which worked a lot better as he started doing religious songs.

All I have to say is R.I.P Chamkila!
"Death
It is widely reported that Chamkila had been the victim of several death threats. The nature of those threats or the reasoning behind them still remains a mystery. The high-profile murder sparked a frenzy of controversy and speculation. Some of the most prominent theories explaining the killings are:
Due to the public’s declining interest in other Punjabi singers in favor of Chamkila, one or more of these artists may have planned for his killing.
The taboo content of Chamkila’s lyrics may have led one or more offended individuals to arrange for his death.
The Khalistani separatist movement of the 1980s may have found Chamkila’s liberal and provocative lyrical content a threat to its conservative agenda. They may have arranged for his murder.
Amarjot’s caste, Tarkhan, was commonly viewed to be higher than Chamkila’s caste, Chamar. Disgraced by Amarjot’s involvement with
Chamkila, her family or other individuals may have arranged for the couple’s killing.
Chamkila may have been murdered by an individual whom he rejected to
perform for due to a scheduling conflict or otherwise."
