Greater Punjab was already in de-facto in control of the Misls, when MRS launched his campaign to unite the Misls. What he did was put an end to the invasions from the West. And yes, Mughals were on the decline and the British hadn't really moved in closer to Delhi. But this was a true for a lot...

Well I thought that it would be easier for the mods to merge all the different threads on the issue.

I dont take it personally, my friend. Due to our different backgrounds and the different sources that we are exposed to, we view things differently. Thats all. When studying Sikh history I have tried not to limit myself to Indian/Sikh authors like Khushwant Singh, who is considered a respected...

My friend, Sikh history books say the same about the atrocities committed by Mughals and Afghans. We have whole museums, fairs and light and sound shows on the massacres against the Sikhs. So you cant really say which was worse. All you have is the fact that the period of rule was much shorter...

It doesnt exist, alright but the issue keeps cropping up again due to a few Sikhs in the West or our friendly neighbors. So to save us the trouble of rebutting and blowing up these arguments again and again, I guess a sticky is justified. The rest is upto the Mods.

So doesn't that tell you that your sources and opinions are incorrect? When the Sikhs were mounting cruelties on Muslims and Kashmiris, were their fellow Muslims in the Khalsa Army silent? Is that even possible? The Sikhs were no angels and conquered huge areas with force. But the extent of...

I'd request you to not to use that phrase without understanding its context. Its a phrase used in our sacred Ardaas (Prayer) that heralds the commencement and closure of an Akhand Path. And the full sentence goes - "Raj Karega Khalsa, Aaki Rahe Na Koye." The same goes for everybody throwing...

Can we please have a Khalistan sticky thread where all articles and news reports regarding the Khalistan issue can be posted? Browsing through past threads, it appears that every 3 months or so a new thread appears justifying the demand for Khalistan and people start going back and forth with...

Sikhs made up 20% of Punjab's population and lesser in areas that they occupied under the Misls and Ranjeet Singh - Kashmir, Peshawar and the Western Hill states. By all neutral records Sikhs never constituted more than 70% of the Khalsa Army. The artillery was overwhelming Punjabi Muslim. So...

We paid back in kind and are proud of that. Regarding Ranjeet Singh, read the following from the best known Pakistani blog, Pak Tea House. And do read the comments by your fellow Pakistanis as well- Ranjit Singh : The Quintessential Indus Man By Yasser Latif Hamdani Today (29th June) is...

In our dreams! We had a barely successful CWG and people are hyped over hosting the Olympics and the FIFA WC. We really need a reality check. Its not that we dont have the capability or the resources to hold an event of such a scale. We most certainly do and 15 years will give us a lot of time...

Two Arunachal men get stapled China visas, stopped at airport ITANAGAR: In a departure from past practice, China has begun issuing visas to residents of Arunachal Pradesh, over which it lays claim, but they are stapled to passports as in the case of people from Jammu and Kashmir. China's...

Agree with you there. We need a good bowling attack. I think where we differ is regarding the quality of the attack. You think its average and most Indians including me think its above-average. But one thing is for sure, its not good let alone great.

True Pakistan was his original choice, but he's been living in SA for 4 years now, thus meeting the eligibility criteria. Just read that on wiki. Though it doesnt say anything about citizenship, he has achieved residency status and is settled in SA for all practical purposes.

What do you mean? One can play for SA without being a citizen?

Good luck to Imran Tahir. Its tough adjusting to a new country and on top of that keeping yourself focussed on your goal is a big ask. I hope he does well.

A political opportunist to the core. The man who was at the forefront of the pan-India Rath yatras that eventually led to the Babri Masjid demolition. Now that BJP's on the wane he's trying to woo the liberals and the minorities by calling himself a secular.

Bro, a sincere request. I like the points that you raise but please use punctuations like commas and full-stops. For a person trying to debate with you, its becomes very hard to comprehend your argument. It would be easier for the other person to have a healthier debate with your if your posts...

There are all kinds of people on PDF. Dont take every comment from a fanboy to the heart. There was no relevance to bring in 'praising and abusing and India being a US client state" into the thread but you still brought it. As I said, there are fan boys everywhere. Many Pak members say China...
