I always thought the Sikhs were conservative and anti Muslim.
Dam take of the turbin and he look like he from Duck Dynasty..or ZZ Top
I have often wondered if "genetic closeness" was one of the reasons why the British Raj in India worked so well.
If you think about it, it probably took the ancestors of the Indian subcontinent and the Western Europeans about the same length of "geological time" to get from the Caucasus region of Eurasia to India and England, respectively.
I've always noted that when I was in college, the Indian students always seemed to "think more like" I did (me-- Anglo-Saxon on both sides)than even many of the Eastern European types. And both Indians and Brits are "eccentric" in many of the same ways. Cultural?? or genetic?? Or both??
The only white racism remaining in the USA is among the commie liberals. This racist doctor apparently got a taste of his own stupidity. No sympathy.
Maybe they should start reporting party affiliation of all the victims of the knock-out games (if they report at all).
Hindi and other languages in India are probably closer to Sanskrit and other "ancestral" Indo-European languages. My uninformed guess is that the further north and west you go, he more divergent you get from it (though apparently the Celts and Gaelic languages retain much from ancestral Indo-Europeans).

Could be both, but I'd guess that it's mostly a result of East Indians being brought up in what's basically a British system of education, as opposed to the German model adopted in central/eastern Europe and Russia.
That is no Anglo-Saxon. Silly negros.
After all, they are a militant, fundamentalist religion who worship a book.
Perhaps you're confusing Sikhs with the same group the "Get Osama" crowd confused this man with, or is your sarcasm closing tag missing...?
You know . . . I can understand why a newbie might take this post the wrong way. What I don't understand is how someone who's been here as long as you have doesn't know where I'm coming from.
For over fourteen years I have championed Fundamentalist Protestants and defended them from all their critics, whether atheist or liturgical chrstian. I don't recall seeing you in any of those battles.
If you took a look at my screen name and assumed I'm some "liberal Jew" or "NWO Zionist" then forget it. I am a "redneck" from the rural Upper South, a former chrstian who has been a Noachide for 23 years now. I live two hours from the absolute closest Orthodox Jewish community. I am the number one opponent of higher Biblical criticism and evolution on this board, and I will not allow anyone to accuse them of "bibliolatry" because they believe that G-d cannot lie or err and that all the Bible is therefore by necessity without any mistake of any kind whatsoever.
I was paying the sikhs a compliment, although they're in the wrong religion. They are militant and fundamentalist (they carry swords!) and they literally worship a book, which Fundamentalist Protestants are so often accused of doing. So I was basically expressing my disbelief that a member of this community could be a freaking liberal.
Now do you understand?
Unfortunately, there is such a thing as "bibliolatry" in the Fundamentalist Protestant community and it is widespread. But it does NOT consist of believing that every word that G-d speaks must be true, because G-d cannot make mistakes!
This weekend Jews will observe the greatest holiday in all the universe, Simchat Torah. They will dance with the holy Torah scrolls and kiss them, culminating in finishing Deuteronomy and then beginning Genesis all over again. That, my friend, is thumpin' the Bible. Most Fundamentalist Protestants are pikers in comparison.
Subtract the turbine and he looks like he is from the Duck clan
