<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Khalistanis always come up with complete horse poop about how they saved Hindus during Mughal era and how they saved Hindus during the British Raj. Stop parroting their propaganda, it only bloats their already over-sized ego about being some superhuman martial race that is constantly saving the weak hindoo vegetarian. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
2-3 quick points:
The media is purposely trying to raise this bogey of 'Khalistan'. I think the concept of Khalistan is (along with most Khalistanis) dead and buried now. Reason⦠the 'mai baaps' of Khalistan were no.1 mostly Sikhs in UK in 1980...after July bombings in London last year I don't think UK govt. will be as indulgent towards these extremist Sikhs in UK as UK Govt. was towards them in the 1980s. No.2 Pakistan is in a bit of deep sh1t itself (recent strife in Pakistan, Balochistan problem etc). Yes Pakistan still has nuisance value but not as much as it had in 1980s.
While there is no doubt Congress is trying to create problems again in Punjab but I refuse to believe that it will again lead to militancy situation in Punjab as grim as like that in 1980s.
In my past posts I have tried to point out it were in fact Hindus time and again that saved Sikhs backsides... Banda Bahadur is a good example. And as far as I know, in fact Sikhs fought along with Brits in 1857 against Hindusâ¦.so when exactly did Sikhs save Hindus against Brits? But as Ramana pointed out earlier 'Sikhs made up for it in the 20th century(during India's freedom struggle against Brits)...This may be true but I can't recall many specific instances where Sikhs fought against the Brits to specifically save the Hindus.
This theory of martial race is history after Punjab strife in 1980s and the anti-Sikh riots in 1984. I think now Hindus mostly laugh at the martial race theory rather than believe in it or buy it anymore.
This theory about 'rice eating veg weak Hindoo' was started as bit of a joke in a particular context (to ridicule Pakis) on some other forum so time we stop talking about this stereotype over and over again as it is not funny anymore.
Anyway, I agree with Ramana, let's not turn this thread into a Sikh bashing thread...
