Now that's just plain silly and it shows your prejudices big time. Can you show me ANY similarities between the Khalistan movement and groups like Aryan Nations?

The Khalistanis are not mainstream Sikhs -- mainstream Sikhs are well represented in India (the Prime Minister, head of the army and head of the Communist PArty are all Sikhs). The Khalistanis also want a state for Sikhs ONLY, quite similar to the ARyan Nation or any IIslamic philosophy.

And from the tone of your posts, I'mm surprised Aryan Nations bothers you anyway. Who do you think your Hindustani masters are?

Hindustani masters? Hmmmm... so the TrueBornPaki finally speaks.

Well, two former Members of Parliament, Simranjit Singh Mann and Atinder Pal Singh, are among those who openly support Khalistan, as does the head of the BKU, the farmers' organization in Punjab. General Narinder Singh is a respected former military officer. Justice Ajit Singh Bains is a respected former Justice of teh Punjab and Haryana High Court. Professor Gurtej Singh is a former IAS and a Professor of Sikhism. These are people who have spoken openly in support of Khalistan.

This is untrue and your Hindustani masters know it, but they apparently forgot to tell you.

The fact is that when Sikhs ruled in Punjab in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, they rna a secular state. A Christian was head of the army. Hindus, Muslims, Chrisitans, and Sikhs all served in high positions in the government.

The Khalistani (proposed) constitution is entirely secular. Everyone's rights will be respected. The Khalistani leadership is publicly and openly committed to that. But apparently, you know better.

Khalistan will be a secular state in which all peoples' rights are recognized, unlike India. That has been said time and time again. It accords with a fundamental prinsiple of the Sikhs: the equality of all people. "Recognize ye all the human race as one." -- Guru Gobind Singh.

They have the commitment, they have the record, it accords with their fundamental philosophy, but somehow you know that it won't happen. Curious. Please let us know how you know this.

And BTW, it wasn't Khalistani leaders who said that everyone who lives in the country must be a member of their religion or subservient to it. Why dont' you go ask your Hindustani masters who that is?

And I still can't figuire out why someone like you would have any objection at all to a group like Aryan Nations. Since you support Hindu militants who oppress others based on religion and ethnicity, Aryan Nations should be right up your alley.

The Aryan nation has zero political voice in the US. They have no power, but unlike India, here they are not banned and their members held in jail indefinitely. Police protect the Aryan nation members in public rallies, lest they get beaten up by normal people opposed to them. In contrast, the Indian govt does not permit the Khalistani movement, their leaders are either dead or in jail. Instead of protection from the govt, their leaders have gone underground. I am not saying everyone in their movement is a saint, but that is what happens when political movements go underground. You have to dead with a lot of unsavory characters in order to survive. Khalistanis do not have a peaceful way to exist, unlike the Aryan nation. What is India so afraid of? In the US, 99.9% of white folks have dismissed the Aryan nation. Maybe the Indian govt is afraid that if they allow the Khalistani movement, then most Sikhs will agree with it.
