Sikhs are not Hindus - White House petition calls Obama to seek explanation from Modi.

[Kompromat]

Indian constitution's clause 25-B recognises Sikhs as Hindus therefore successfully subverting their right to a distinct religious identity in order to prevent a sikh version of the two nation theory from ever gaining legal status. This essentially means that unless the constitution is changed the Sikhs can't legally claim their right to self determination and the constitution can NEVER be changed because the Hindus dominate the parliament and electoral vote bank.

Modi will be like how the hell should he know he didn't write the Indian constitution.

Imagine Obama really asking that though, "Happy Constitution day Modi, speaking of which what up with them Sikhs in your constitution"?

Its a foolproof measure. Sikhs simply are never going to have enough vote to change the constitution because if it is changed somehow the route to a separate or autonomous state becomes easier once they claim their distinct identity. Hindu congress tried to pull off the same stunt on us as well, however our leader was the best barrister money could buy in the subcontinent who was fully aware of Gandhiji and Nehruji's good cop bad cop game.

Sikhs are decent people but the whole history behind their situation just irks me off. They turned their backs on Muslims and allowed the partitioning of Punjab for their Hindu brothers who then stabbed them in their backs, partitioned their land further, and finished things off by attacking their holiest place. On top of that they got lazy and now Biharis have overrun what little of Punjab they had left lol. Much of their plight is bad decisions coming home to roost.

The Indian Punjab is basically Bihar 2.0... They barely even speak Punjabi anymore

The clause mentioned only deals with what personal laws would apply to the religions. It does not mean Hindus and Sikhs are the same, but the same laws would apply to them. Muslims, Christians have separate laws. The census treats them differently.

PS: Anyone with wet dreams of dividing India on any basis will be dealt with militarily, regardless of constitutional technicalities.

Sikhs' traditional homeland is being taken over by Hindu migrants from other states . I'm pretty sure that this is being encouraged by nefarious forces who want their dream of 'Shining Hindu India' complete.

 

[XenoEnsi-14]

Americans confuse Sikhs for being Muslims and India is putting Sikhs in the same category as Hindus?

All religions should have the same personal laws provided by the state, irrespective of religion.

Agreed.

I can see here Pakistani desperation for talks, but I can say Modi will never yield. He is a tough guy and will not talk to Pak. That is the image he nurtured for past 40 years of his political life, and now is not going change at the end of his political life .

On topic...Sikhs are not Hindus, neither does Indian constitution says so, but yes they are governed by same personal laws as Hindus.

Hi,

The Sikhs did not turn their backs---the hindus made a better sales pitch to them and they bought into it.

 

[Sugarcane]

It's funny that Sikhs living outside India feels offended if their religion is called offshoot of Hinduism but the ones living in India have no as such problem with it, many even themselves call it part of santan dharma. Confused lot
