The majority in India has decimated the Sikh population in Panjab. Tens of thousands of young Sikhs went missing possibly killed or tortured by the Indian Govt. There is also the drug addiction among Sikhs. Perhaps the silent victims whose souls were crushed by the menacing apparatuses of the said Govt.
Some day Sikhs will have their free land devoid of the high caste of you know who.
Punjab teeters on edge of crisis as 70% fall into drug addiction
Drugs are seen by many as a bigger threat here than the Sikh insurgency, during which more than 60,000 people died, writes Rahul Bedi.
AFTER YEARS of alternating between ingesting opium and heroin, Joginder Singh (25), from Ferozepur district in Indias northern Punjab province, is an emaciated wreck.
All this once athletic and handsome young Sikh waits for is his next fix as he stares sightlessly across his diminishing ancestral land holdings in Fattuwala village a large proportion of them periodically disposed of to feed his habit.
In occasional lucid moments the 25-year old vows to kick his debilitating habit, but within hours is back on the drugs.
Efforts to engage him in conversation are futile as he babbles incomprehensibly.
Fellow villagers say the debilitating narcotics had not only ruined Singh but also estranged him from his surroundings.
He does not know night from day. Hes like the walking dead, Fattuwala resident Rajbir Kaur says.

Punjabs grievous drug problem was revealed recently in a report by Guru Nanak University in Punjabs largest city, Amritsar, which declared that some 73.5 per cent of the states youth between 16 and 35 years were confirmed drug addicts.
The study said young people in villages were more prone to drug abuse, and attributed this to high unemployment, social tensions and easily available narcotics.
Shrinking land holdings and limited educational facilities exacerbated the problem by spawning a generation of disenchanted youth who felt inadequate and lacked self-esteem.

Youtube comment,
A survey conducted at Amritsar jail recently showed that 80% of jail inmates were being given drugs.
Such a thing in a high security jail can not take place without the connivance and assistance of senior govt officials.Same thing is happening in other jails all over Punjab.
