Nihangs were never addressed as militants. They are hardliners and puritanical in their beliefs but militant was never their moniker. This is just and error or as I said, an attempt to add unnecessary color to the incident.
With all due respect, TTT thats a Punjabi saying. It would be a disrespect to other Punjabis to attribute this saying only to the Sikh half of the community. The high spirited culture of the Sikhs is mainly due to the Punjabis who took to Sikhism en masse. This high spirited culture is...
Thats possible. I dont know if the group involved, UK Sangat has any Khalistan leanings. But if they do, then that would explain the title by TOI. But if they dont, then its terrible mis-reporting and adding unnecessary 'color' to the event by the TOI.
Sikhism indeed forbids meat and alcohol consumption and these protesting Sikhs must be those insistent on ceremonies by the book and sticking to puritanical beliefs.
Thats different. Sikhs have a recent history of partition related nostalgia. But in case of Tamils there was no such thing. In any case, it was wrong to interfere in the affairs of a foreign country.
What a pea-sized brain the guy who wrote this article has! L&T is one of India's largest engineering companies. Apart from infrastructure projects its also active in turnkey industrial projects. Defence and nuclear sector is just one very small part of its operations. What proof does the author...
Its you Pakistanis that need to convince your different factions. Who did it? Taliban, US/NATO or the Indians and the Israelis?
Of course and the pervasive Jihadi/islamist mentality in Pak military set up and the support to terror groups had no role in the instability. How self serving!!!
Why dont you tell your govt. to accuse us instead of posting videos? I have never seen any of your elected heads accusing India. And guess what, nothing else matters!
There are days when I think the same. Sometimes this approach works best. What use is economic and political power if we cant do things as we want them.
MK, Indian leadership is either too vary of domestic pressure from hardliners or has been burnt so many times in its attempt at peace overtures that it doesnt want to take any more risk. The strategy is to rather wait and watch Pakistan burn itself in its self inflicted fire than go over and...
Any sources to back that bold section up? I dont think SL was ever hostile enough to warrant armed interference. I think it was simply a case of mistaken agenda by Indira or RAW.
And irrespective of the type of support from Indian Tamils, it wasn't happening without the knowledge or blessings...
Agreed. The SL Tamils were opressed, but it was SL's internal matter and it stood us do no good to interfere. Not only did it fan a pan-Tamil nationalism in the south it also bled us a 1000 soldiers and a would be PM, not to say the distrust of the Lankans that we earned. BD was justified...
