I have checked.
Yes I did read the article. I urge you to do the same.
In an independent Khalistan, there would be a predominantly Sikh (but secular) government to which both sides could appeal, one that shares the culture that animates both groups, whatever their differing views. They would be able to take their case to people who understand their worldview, not people who just look on all of them as “a criminal tribe.”
I didn’t say there were no Sikh troops in Punjab, and of course the police are mainly Sikh, although the police officials are often not and are generally under the thumb of Delhi. hat I said, which is accurate, is that most of the troops in Punjab are of other groups and most of the Sikh troops are assigned to other states, largely minority ones. That is a fact.
Why do you suppose that Punjab farmers are forced to buy fertilizer and other supplies at exorbitantly high prices and then forced to sell their crops at sub-market prices? It’s the Indian government that is forcing them to do that. That is just one more reason for them to seek independence.
Last time I read, Punjabis had the highest per-capita income in India. Sorry. Not buying your nonsense.
Look in the mirror on that one, pal.
And then, Bangladesh happened. Ouch! Take your mirror back. It's busted.
Because India moved in and created Bangladesh.
Yea, right. Go tell that to the Bangladeshis! This is exactly what I wanted out of you to corner you. So Gen. Niazi was in Bangladesh (oops, East Pakistan) to distribute roses, ay? And the millions of refugees (oops, mountain-hikers) pouring into India only went there to get a whiff of the tea gardens?
It was India that caused the split; it was India that brought Bangladesh into being. Now, the Bangladeshis have every right to their own country, but it was India’s action that caused it to happen. That is simply a fact, as you know.
Your ignorance seems so deep, it's actually getting cute. Do you realise the logical dissonance in you previous post, or do you want it pointed out to you?
Did you know that when he was DGP, KPS gill met with Damdami Taksal? The organizations involved in this incident have been heavily government-infiltrated. India is stokign this violence.
Stoking violence? What’s Pakistan doing in Kashmir then, a not-so-violent people suddenly in ‘89 turned mad. Likewise with the Sikhs a little earlier. Both issues had heavy Pakistani involvement to the teeth. Both issues are now nearly dead. So, like you mentioned earlier, this present status will, should and can only persist for the considerable future.
As for Bangladesh, even Pakistanis admit to their heavy-handedness for its birth. Nothing India did or should have, would have prevented it, and whatever it did, only hastened its birth. And the Bangladeshis are grateful for it.
No logical problem at all. While I believe that all nations are entitled to their sovereignty, it is their own choice and not some outside party’s that should determine that.
So, if the Hispanic-majority regions of Southern and South-Western US requested a vote to opt out of the Union, you would encourage it? We all want your stand on this, clear and open.
The Kashmir independence movement, from all I’e been told by my Kashmiri sources, is sui generis. Thsi you know, too, I believe, but you refuse to understand it.
The Khalistani movement is absolutely self-generating and has no (NO) Pakistani involvement, except for rhetorical support.
Umm, no. And no.

BTW, a cheap try at avoiding answering my earlier question. Go ahead, reply it. Don’t make me ask you again.
You there, champ? All I hear are crickets for now...
They all have distinctly separate identity from the rest of Pakistan. They too are linguistically, culturally and socially different and religion is no reason to bind then together under Pakistani tyranny like Bangladesh experience has proved. Wont it be democratic to allow them independence? Whats your opinion?
The rat is caught. He won’t dare answer the last question that went unanswered. Taunt him with the same, every time.
If the people there want it.
Wow, you reply was more like a pipsqeak. Why don't you say it louder and clearer if you are for or against the independence Balochistan and Sindhudesh and Pakhtunkwa?
Do you or do you not believe they have a distinctly different identity and therefore they deserve to be free from the brutal suppression and genocide that they are subjected to under the Pakistani military junta? Don't you see that there is wide spread violation of basic human rights and mass genocide going on in Balochistan and Sindh? Don't you feel you should speak out against the brutal oppression against the Sindhis, Balochis and Mohajirs by the Pakistani Army or are you afraid you will be struck off their payroll?
Could you let us know your opinion in this regards with broader details?
