Are you Sikh?

What injustice has been done to Indian Punjab since 1947?

 

[JaDed]

The sight of thousands of Sikhs peacefully marching is giving you guys anxiety.... I get that.

You and I are not Sikhs, whether it goes anywhere or not, it's upto them to decide. why are against them voicing their opinions that you do not like?

Don't tell me about Sikhs ,I have already said Indian govn should not bother about it.

Also it was just a reply about you saying getting used to,so I told you to get used to as well along same lines,deal with it.

That's how you would feel about Nawaz, Altaf in UK too along with all the money IK wants to bring back?

I couldn't care less as long as they don't break any UK laws. I'm a UK citizen, happily living in the UK, and to me what happens in Pakistan or India holds a similar level of interest as to what happens in France, or Germany, or the USA. No wait, less interest than France / US / Germany actually since what happens in these countries is far more likely to have an impact on the UK (and thus on my life) as compared with what happens in Pakistan or India.

My interest in the goings on in Pakistan or India is akin to watching a documentary about the Amazon rain forest, watching most of the FIFA Word Cup matches, reading a biography of some historical figure ....etc, ie interesting, but it's not going to affect my life much.

They citizens of UK can have any referendum and use their right to self determination. But they cant have a referendum on what should happen in India.

By your logic sovereignty should be upheld in all matters. That's not what happens, hence the formation of unions such as NATO, UN, and other types of intervention as such the US does.

It's to create awareness of the matter. A lot of Sikh's I talk to detest India for the way they've been treated by them but know the reality of a Khalistan is bleak. To even say Punjab is part of India offends Sikh's as, like the previous sentence says, India has done nothing to help the Sikh's in the region.

Punjab is part of India for 71 years and except for few years of there have been no issues there.

Sikhs are the largest contingent in the Indian Army. Their loyalty have been undeniable towards India.

Sikhs have been Army chiefs,Chief justice and Prime minister.

some non indians somewhere think that Punjab isnt happy with India well then thats their thinking. They dont have a stake in India. The people of Punjab are happily living in India. If someone is offended with it somewhere outside India well he can be. Its his problem.

Awareness? The residents of the place have no issues but foreigners are bothered.lol.

India isnt part of NATO or any such military alliance. The responsibility of protecting one's sovereignity lies with that country.

Khalistan movement is only active on the Internet and among the NRI sikh community as a time pass hobby and a desperate attempt to come in political limelight. That’s about it.

In 2018, the average sikh youth staying in India and Indian Punjab is so disconnected from this alien concept it’s not even worth discussing.

To give you a perspective, Congress has been to power in Punjab 3-4 times even after the 1984 blue star operation/Delhi sikh killings. An event on which modern Khalistan movement is based around. So basically if 1/10 sikhs is Khalistani. Then 9/10 Khalistanis have no motivation for the movement until they hold severe grudges over bluestar and the anti sikh riots.

So if Congress can remain relevant and in power in Punjab despite being the #1 target of Khalistanis all over the world it tells you everything about how much the sikhs in india really care and what they believe in.

Truth is while most sikhs choose to not express it explicitly, Bhindranwale’s image and Khalistan movement remain ridiculously exaggerated. Most sikhs realize these radical leaders were extremely ordinary and were on the wrong path.

Sikhs are very progressive and peace loving.

They see Khalistanis and radical sikhs as a nuisance. I have spent 30 years in Punjab among sikhs and an ordinary sikh i have seen despises a radicalised sikh with the same passion with which I despise radicalied Hindus and much like many Muslim friends here be despising Mullahcacy in their own areas.

We all want progressive and futuristic mindset.

That's a right wing Indian media (the same which kept bringing Rehman Khan btw) report on the protest. Trafalguar Square was full of thousands of Sikhs. What's interesting is that in the counter-protest you can't see a single turban, and the two men who intervene are Patel's (Gujuratis, who in the UK, make up nearly half of the British Indian community, the other half being the Punjabi-Sikhs, with very very few Tamils here and there).

and Modi-ji comes under fire as well :

Why silent over pro-Khalistan rally in London, Congress asks Narendra Modi government

NEW DELHI: Describing the pro-Khalistan rally in London by the Sikhs as a conspiracy to divide the country, the Congress on Monday questioned the Narendra Modi-led government's silence on it.

"As a sinister conspiracy is hatched to revive militancy in Punjab, why are BJP-Akali Dal mum? Why has the 56' Modi government been stunned into a conspiratorial silence? Isn't it a conspiracy to break the country? Why silence then?" Congress spokesman Pradeep Singh Surjewala said in a tweet attaching a news report about the pro-Khalistan rally.

The Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), a human rights advocacy group with radical leanings, held what it calls a "London Declaration" on an independence referendum for Punjab at Trafalgar Square in London on Sunday.

Thousands of Sikhs and their supporters gathered to demand a 'Referendum 2020' campaign in Punjab.

They also brandished banners reading "Free Punjab, End Indian occupation", "Punjab Referendum 2020 for Khalistan" and "We will re-establish Punjab as an independent country".

Those Patels who were holding the counter protest looked a bit pathetic campaigning for a united India while at the same time they were happy to see the division for the carve up in 1947. Dancing with Modi placards for heaven's sake.

Campaign for Bangladesh and the rest of Punjab to be part of united India if your secular credentials are true Indian friends. Then our Sikh brothers might be able to see the desi sincerity rather than Modi dancing shenanigans.

These Sikh's should go and hold these protests in Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Jalander, Patiala, Mohali and Bathinda if they want their Khalistan so badly. Doing so on the streets of London is a complete waste of time like a comedy show Delhi will rightfully be laughing at Look, I don't know one Indian Sikh celebrity like Navjot Singh Sidhu who supports this hopeless Khalistan movement. It is a complete and utter waste of time.

Come on NRI Sikhs just want to look cool, its not the muslim exclusive right to be cool in front of national media and talk about Palestine. Sikhs want to be cool also, so they started their Khalistan movement but all said and done nobody outside these NRI Sikhs care or give 2 hoots about Khalistan.. lol
