I think the percentage of Khalistani supporting Sikhs is miniscule in India and even in foreign lands, they are exteremely small. For these nitwits, the only thing <i>Khali </i>is the <i>stan</i> between their ears. Even that self-style "President" Chauhan who used to print his own currency, fly his own flag etc has chosen to make India his home - even the Grim Reaper/Yamadut hasn't been kind to him and ended his misery; I truly pray for his long miserable life.
Wasn't he cabinet minister with Indira Gandhi before started his Khalistani operation abroad? Only when we have a congress at center which is at odds with Punjab state govt., the issue pops up. Why?
Ajatshatru: There's a political aspect of this dispute and spiritual. In terms of spiritual, I've listed on previous page the number of times Hindu Gods or books are refered in Granth Sahib and can even put direct quotes from Gurus themselves. There's no debate there. Those in modern times wanting to walk away from Hinduism should have no problems re-writing their own text if they are so much offened by Hinduism. Or they can give up the book that extols wisdom from Hindus. It's for them to decide.
On political side, it's where things get a bit interesting. If someone - even a born-Hindu for that matter does not want to be tagged as Hindu, who are you or me to impose our views on them? World's full of anti-Hindu Hindus, just look at the roster of the groups standing in San Jose area holding anti-India banners appealing to Allaha - all 400% Hindus.
Let individuals choose their identity or paths of spiritual guidance.
