As a Sikh, I never imagined Hindus and Sikhs to be different separating Hindus and Sikhs will be like separating a person from his shadow.

Sikhs and Hindus have coexisted for hundreds of years together, we are literally the same people, We Hindus used to raise the first born Son of our households as a Sikh, the Sardar of the house who will protect and lead the house in the future. The shared history and shared culture is unlike any other two communities, the enormity of things that are common between us outweighs everything else, it is sad that some people would like to focus on what's different than what's common.

Conceptually, I Never understood Why Khalistanis always exclude 3/4th of Punjab which is in Pak, from which Sikhs were Ethnically cleansed, This movement is the result of Ham headed politics by the Congress trying to interfere when ever Akali Dal came to Power in Punjab, propping up Bhindranwale as a counter measure, only for Him to become a bigger problem, waking up too late and Attacking Darbar Sahib, Party workers unleashing terror on Patriotic SIkhs after Indira Gandhi was assasinated, this is the reason for Khalistan.

After spending about a decade travelling to multiple countries and continents and meeting the Indian diaspora who have moved out from India in different times, I have made a realization that in the their heads, the time has stopped in India in the year they had left. Since their interaction with the situation on the ground in the country is very limited they still feel that India is still stuk in the 80s or the 90s. They teach or explain India in the same fashion to their next generation and which reinforces their vision since the next generation is even further away... Maybe thats at the root cause of K word still being around in the Indian Diaspora outside India only. They moved out around operation bluse star OR the militancy period in unjab and they are stuck in that time forever

@@pardeeptandon I would say that if people were prosecuted illegally, they should have continue fighting the case while being out of Indian jurisdiction, since they never showed up they don’t really get to say or prove that it was illegal in the court of law. Also as far as my knowledge goes, militancy was at its peak in Punjab (Indian) during the Khalistan movement and about 50k people died while Punjab in pakistan was peaceful. This clearly indicates that the movement was sponsored by pakistan so it comes under the umbrella of NSA, POSCO and all the other laws that existed to counter terrorism. These laws are pretty sharp and prosecution under those laws don’t have an option to be called illegal in anway (Thats my understanding)

[@Jeet-2023]

The sikh surnames "Singh" and "Kaur" itself came from ancient Rajput surnames/adjectives for males and females "Sinh" and "Kunwar". All sikh Gurus were Kshatriya (called Khatri in punjabi) and called Rajputs in Hindi. It was only later that Jatt peasantry of Punjab and nearby regions became Sikhs and a revisionist ideology was born. Till late 18th century the sikh gurdwara used to be called "dharmshal", and all Gurdwara used to have dharmic signs and deities. Then during British times, further revision happens within sikhi by those Sikhs who got influenced by British and Christian Church, those Sikhs who mostly fought WW1 & WW2 in Europe, or served British empire in india.

Earlier rajput used surname like das , rajput were landless in punjab in akbar period , read ain-i-akbari, jats had 15 more times land than rajput in Delhi, multan and Lahore subah, singh is jatt surname, jatt is not peasant but yeoman and landlord

A painful realty that this Jagjit Singh Chohan who was responsible for thousands of innocent killing by his movement, when visited India in his last phase of life was a state guest. and answering a question about Khalistan he answered that he has changed his mind as if it was a child's game. See the plight of families in Punjab and elsewhere who suffered during this movement.

Hello friends. As a Punjabi, I can tell you this whole drama in Punjab is caused by a minority of Punjab which is Jatt Sikh caste population of 20% who enjoy violence and carrying guns. The entire other 80% of Punjab either Sikh or Hindu is peaceful and they are not from the Jatt Sikh caste. Even peaceful Sikh Gurus were not Jatt Sikhs. These Jatt Sikhs follow and carry pictures of violent Jatt Binderwala, not Gurus. Most of 80% of Punjab think CM of Punjab should not be from the Jatt Sikh caste, as this minority of 20% people have ruined and destroyed Punjab in the name of Binderwala for the other Punjabi communities for many years. Thanks Ji 🙏

What is the solution to this .. my Punjabi bhau ? The 80% should vote wisely. But then, many have offered themselves to the missionaries agenda.

Indian govt should record all Khalistani gathering in UK, USA, Australia. Identify them by face recognition. If they have PIO Identity Card , it should be cancelled. This cancellation should be widely publicised ..... Just see how fast the Andolan jeevis disappear !

There is a difference between protest and terrorism Sekhar Ji. Whatever happens in UK, Canada and US are acts of terrorism. If someone insult Indian flag and challenge India as a country then it’s not a protest.

@@m.i.5381 Punjab was never an independent state in the history of 5000 years and only exception is maharaja ranjit singh kingdom which only lasted for 50 years . Sikhs cannot claim Punjab for just 50 years rule if that the case then the empires from Bihar like nanda , mauryan , gupta etc should also claim Punjab as Punjab was under them for centuries same goes for afghans also they also ruled Punjab for centuries.

@Big daddy neither was the "Indian Union" The Indian Union is a British exit strategy. Before the British land was a battle ground formed into many kingdoms and principalities. Interesting you love to go back 5000 years, the world was run on system of Empires. Even then, this land held many competing Empires. An and you go back more thousands of years to a system of Empires, then Italy claims the whole of Europe - Roman Empire. But these Empires have long gone, because ethnic groups have demanded self rule.

The repartee from Mr Khushwant Singh by way of a rebuke was the fittest way to deal with such a situation. The Indian State and the Constitution has treated all citizens and communities as equals, so separatism and insurgency of any kind in any part of the country is totally uncalled for.

Every hindu family willingly gave away their eldest son to sikkhism till 80's...all Gurudwara's had the images of Hindu God's and Godesses,it's after crystallization of SGPC sense of separatism were fanned gradually....coupled with this was partion movement launched by muslims and the then colonial govt which used these tendencies to further their presence. ..

No idol worship. Why is it so hard to understand our holy book

[@Valkyrie1941]

@@Amardeep661 Hinduism is not a monolith with everyone Idol worshiping. Non idol worshipers, agonistics, spiritualist all have space in Hinduism. No one says ..if you don't worship idol then you are not Hindu,if you are not sure about scriptures then you are not Hindu(carvaka) etc. It's in your head that just cuz you don't do idol worshiping ,you are superior and others who do are superstitious and inferiors. It's the abrahamic influence in you which talks about separatism. More Hindus go to gurudwara and bow to gurus than Sikhs. We do that not cuz we think Sikhs are superior but cuz we believe avatars of gods descends on earth after some interval to check the evils of society. We see Sikh gurus as avatar of gods..that's why we bow to them, that's why we bow before Jesus as well. That's why more Hindus go to church to lit up candle than Christains. Open your eyes.

[@Amardeep661]

@Valkyrie my point is that being a sikh you can not worship or pray to pictures of idols. You pray to akaal purakh (almighty god).

[@honestindian5495]

@@Amardeep661 is Sikhism an abrahmic religion? Hindu gods, hindu saints are mentioned hundred times gurugranth sahib.

[@Valkyrie1941]

@@Amardeep661 that doesn't distinguish between Hindus and Sikhs for the reasons which I mentioned above. The excuse of not idol worshiping translates into supermacy which translates into hatred and separatism. Sikhs say Sikhs demographics are under threat cuz of Hindus.. fact is Abrahamics are converting Sikhs in masses into their religion not Hindus. Hindus don't consider Sikhs as others but our own . In fact almost all new converts to Sikhs are Hindus. Hindu stalwart netas which Sikhs despise like Yogi, Modi etc bow down to gurus and have deep sincere bhakti for Sikh gurus. Whereas abrahamics which you consider as minority brothers don't have much respect for your gurus. They never pray in gurudwara , nor sing glory of Sikh heroes of past. It's done by Hindus.
