OP doesnt have any idea what he is posting, he posted Ashutosh Dera video
Ludhiana, 5 Dec 2009 :
Hard-line Sikhs groups, up in arms against the governments decision to allow Austhosh Maharaj of Dera Noormahal conduct satsang (religious discourse) in the city, clashed with the police and some Dera followers today.
It has no relation with Khalistan.
NRI Sikhs knows nothing about what the situation is like in Punjab right now, its all politics + easy money. I am a Punjabi too, and I agree there is no Khalistan movement left, no one talks about it, infact new gen is not even aware of all this. But I also agree
justice was not done.
Khalistan is against the main teaching of Sikhism - universal brotherhood. Sikhism is tolerace and equality.
Khalistan is possible only on Mars.
Khalistan is not the answer. One of the main reasons is if it were to be "Khalistan" or "land of the pure" this is hypocritical as the sikhs of Punjab are also the heaviest drinkers in all of India. Use of tobacco and drugs is prohibited by Sikh faith and is against Sikh principles.
We dont want to be in Taliban kinda situation. Sikhs in US, Aus are not Indians.
Sikhs do have their own land and their own country. Their country and their land is called India/Bharat/Hindustan. A Sikh is PM of India.
No one can restrict us to small area.
Pakistan area is 16x bigger than Indian Punjab.

70k both in Burma and Thailand.
Total Sikh Population (2004) - 2.4 crore
Total 2.15 crore ie. 90% in India.
1.45 crore Sikh live in Indian Punjab, 0.7 crore are in differant states all across India.
Total Overseas Indian Population ~26,000,000
Total Overseas Sikh Population is ~ 2,500,000
10% ~ of expat Indians
2% ~ in India proper.
Search any county, we are everywhere.
Even with less than 2% of population, more than 15% of Indian army is made of Sikhs, I see no merit in this discussion.
