Aryawan exactly my point, on every sikh forum all u see is Hindu bashing, especially Brahmin bashing, they only talk about the 1984 riots but never about partition massacres. Some of them even say Hindus are indirectly responsible for the killing of Sikhs during partition, their logic goes something like this, the Hindu congress of Gandhi did not agree to share power with Muslims which led to Muslims asking for a separate state because of Hindu communalists and Sikhs were just caught in the crossfire in a conflict that was created by Hindus.
Hindus should recognize that nothing good will ever come from begging Sikhs to be Hindus or forcing the Hindu label on them when they clearly do not want to be called as Hindus, infact it will only give more power to the Khalistanis because they can say Hindus are trying to finish off Sikhism by insisting that Sikhs are Hindus. All Hindu orgs should formally issue a statement saying that Sikhism is a separate religion and that the Khalsa was not created to defend Hindus, they should be indifferent towards Sikhs, enough is enough, time Hindus learnt to have some self respect. We have enough problems among ourselves so let us solve those and unite Hindus instead of begging Sikhs to be Hindus and wasting our time. Sikhs can take care of their own religion, no need for VHP to try and stop evangelism amongst Sikhs, we should only care for Hindus and as long as evangelism is not affecting our community we should do nothing for Sikhs and we should categorically reject this false slogan of Sikhs being Hindus.
