At least he tried to spell out the battle cry of three famed regiments of the Indian army - the Sikh regiment regiment, the Sikh light infantry, and the Punjab regiment (which fought the legendary battle of longewalla, and brought the war in the west to a grinding halt, and decimated Pakistan's armour capability against all odds, and created a free country on the east so that some of its people can freely mouth off their liberators several decades later).
Let's cut him some slack and be forgiving. Having been brought up in delusions of religious superiority and exclusivity, he doesn't realize that soldiers can cry ""Jo Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal!" or "Raja Ram Chandra Ki Jai!" or "Birsa Munda Ki Jai!" or "Jai Mahakali, Ayo Gorkhali!" while charging the enemy, and yet owe allegiance to and fight under the same banner of the republic of India.
Such inclusiveness and harmony is unthinkable for some people, and hence their stupefaction.
And BTW all Indian intellectuals are self righteous and Amartya Sen is one of them.He talks about poverty in India but spent's half his time delivering lectures at foreign Universities rather than dedicating more time in his own country and its Universities. . .
Pehle thik se "Saat Sri Akal" toh bolna seekhlay,uske baad jin jin logan da nam post vich liya hai unki ma ka sakinaka karna!!
