I see Sindh Rangers being blamed for many extra-judicial killings in Karachi. Are there not many Mohajirs in Sindh Rangers? Surely Karachi and other Mohajir dominated places would be their recruiting areas as well. Why is that they are alleged to be biased against Mohajirs in Karachi? Can...

Wrong. Wiki Malerkotla.

Well Khalistan isnt just about Sikhs. It will include all Punjabi heartlands of the subcontinent. Punjabis of different religions Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus would live side by side, joined by the common bond of Punjabiyat. This was the Punjab under Maharaja Ranjit Singh and this is how the...

Its not about how many live there now. Its about reclaiming our lands. A Khalistan would include almost the whole of undivided Punjab. :P

Bhindrawala was propped up by the Congress against the Akalis and when he became too vociferous in his demands, Indira tried to distance herself from him and branded him a militant. She might not have hated Sikhs but she surely didnt endear herself to the Sikh community by her actions. She was...

Let me get this straight. You would rather go by your own prejudices about certain communities than believe various studies or US census department figures. And do point a source for that Nigerian study. Havent heard of it ever. And as I see it, I would rather educate my own countrymen about...

This was a very shameful incident. That cop is now under suspension.

First of all, dont pass judgements on a community or a nation. If being counted amongst the 95th percentile immigrant community in the US and being on top of every economic and social indicator is a result of being spineless, then I would gladly take that. Second, proactively educating your...

Spineless? Educating people about your community is a spineless act? ---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ---------- Oh really? May I understand how so in your esteemed opinion?

Well there's a serious lack of education and sensitivities towards minorities in the US and the US Sikh diaspora needs to share some blame as well. They should have been more proactive about reaching out to the average public especially after 9/11. If hate crimes like these still happen 10 years...

Well they were probably not as courageous as you.

Pretty funny to you, right? Have some shame dude. An old man got assaulted and you find it an hilarious incident. You are an embarrassment to this forum.

Thank for digging this out. I always read about Shabeg being a great soldier and his unceremonious exit was always perplexing. Even Brar in his book on 1984 tried to discredit Shabegh as a man with a dubious past. I am glad the other side of the story is talked about too.

Irrespective of Bhindrawale's antics, an attack on Darbar Sahib was unjustified. In Khushwant's Singh's words, "you do not cut-off your head to get rid of a headache".

Cant believe you thanked one post and gave me an infraction when I provided a retort in kind to the same post. If Pakistan has nothing to do with the topic, the is it fair to comment on India or Indian's general nature in a thread about Shiv Sena...

Why so fixated on the sultanate?

The status quo is untenable. We cant ignore Kashmiri dissatisfaction. The Kashmir border would have to be opened up and Kashmiris across both sides would have to be allowed to contact each other. This system of a 'loose border' would overtime be overlayed with a an autonomous governance for both...

Peer stresses upon the measure of trust building that India has been emphasizing for long and Pakistan has steadfastly refused. Greater people to people exchanges via trade and culture. The more we meet, the more trust we develop and the more ready we will be to develop a solution for Kashmir...

I understand. No harm done. Actually the martial spirit of the Sikhs was further enforced when the Jatts joined during Banda's revolt. Jatts by nature are independent and free spirited, so the soldiering nature of the Sikhs got a fillip when Jatts joined in droves. Many of the Misls...

I know you didnt mean anything offensive, bro. Khalsa Sikhs, the baptized sikhs also sometimes tie their turbans in the Nihang style. The one in my avatar is a Nihang.
