With over 13 pages and 193 comments this thread has outlived its natural life span.
And when the same arguments goes round and round it look more like bickering at first sight which i dont like specifically on this site.
Counter-terrorism does not give you the right to systematically kill, kidnap, beat, and harass Sikh people in Punjab (their homeland). Indian Police went around like blood thirsty militias and without any good evidence beat, killed, and tortured many Sikh families. Not to mention Indian Army persecuted many innocent Sikhs on one of their most holiest days at their Holy sites. Counter-terrorism does not give you the right to do this, some Indian Army personnel did fire indiscriminately.
There is no bickering...nobody is calling the other names...in fact this has turned out to be very productive thread with members patiently listening each other out and going to lengths to explain their stand.
The thread did start out with a bit of flamebait as usual like above but look at the posts...theres hardly any hard feeling there...I guess this is an example of how a sensitive topic can be handled with a bit of patience to make it a productive discussion. We still stand united.
My two pence...
Let me add my own two pence to yours bro ..... my sentiments exactly. The Indians here, even though with divergent views, and some of them quite closely connected by faith, have come out with shining colors and given an excellent account of ourselves, in spite of attempts to foment negative passions at regular intervals. In a way it is a microsm of whats happening in real life, and as an Indian, it gives me immense confidence for the future of my country and pride in my countrymen. I do not see it as bickering. I do not see anyone taking a hard stance nor the discussion degenerating into tu tu main main. I say its in fact quite a cathartic exercise for all of us ..... and we need to thank a Pakistani brother for starting it, and making significant contributions at regular intervals.
Hindu, Sikhs, Christians, Jains, Buddhists, Muslims, Parsis ..... but first of all, above all ..... proud and true Indians.
Cheers, Doc
"we can not afford to be as ruthless as the perpetrators of violence if they ask for it...as far as dealing with our internal issues is concerned."-paritosh
A1kaid...if him just going off-topic was the problem...you could have said that in just one line.It is not prudent being rude without provocation.Thanks for painting a rosy picture, next time please stay on topic this is not about how proud you feel about your country or you delivering a 'sales pitch' about Indian patriotism...Now no more of your off-topic posts, thanks.
The Indian govt. did not attack the golden temple because it was a Sikh place of worship...the Indian govt. was not against the Sikhs...it was against the separatists housed in the golden temple complex."Perpetrators of violence" well that's a two way street, both Indian police/army and apparently Sikh militants were fighting one another.
Though it is clear that the real and most vicious "perpetrator of violence" was the Hindu dominant Indian state through the Indian Army who assaulted the Sikh Holy Temple and the Indian Police who looted and allowed angry Hindu mobs to ravage the Sikh population, rape, kill, and kidnap Sikh families.
yes the criticism of the timing of operation is of common knowledge in India.Do you think it was appropriate for the Indian state and PM. Indira Gandhi to launch this offensive during the Sikh Holiest day when many Sikh pilgrims would be in attendance?
Launching a military offensive at such a time is CALLING for MORE causalities...

During the run-up to Operation Blue Star, Punjab had descended into complete mayhem. Bhindranwale and his goons were carrying out a regime of systematic terror and murder to cleanse Punjab of Hindus. In spite of that, storming The Golden Temple was not a priority to Mrs Gandhi. Instead, she attempted a last ditch negotiation with the Akali Morcha. Bhindranwale was the de facto leader of the Morcha.Do you think it was appropriate for the Indian state and PM. Indira Gandhi to launch this offensive during the Sikh Holiest day when many Sikh pilgrims would be in attendance?
Evacuating the pilgrims from the hostels, within the Temple complex was also out of question.Launching a military offensive at such a time is CALLING for MORE causalities...
AS for discussion - definitely most Indians by now know the role that Pakistan(with some good help from anti-Indira US establishment at that time) had to play in this episode which created problems for their own community and others. Indians-forget just Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians, even Muslims, have learnt by now not to get fooled by some Pakistanis crocodile tears and goading. Unknowingly you'll managed to unite Indians and make them wary of Pakistan even more. So there was some good outcome from this after all..
I had exactly the same opinion on the efforts of another Pakistani and his brothers on 26/11.
A1Kaid, I am as proud of my country as you are of yours. The difference is that I do not need to put down Pakistan or Pakistanis or try and foment bad blood within Pakistanis on this forum to feel proud and good to be an Indian.
I hope you can appreciate this difference, and if my post is taken as off topic, it was in response to yours.
Back to the topic now.
Cheers, Doc
