I have been reading with some interest the arguements of Gary Deol for
the creation of Khalistan. He mentions that the majority of the Sikhs
want Khalistan. I think Gary is living in a world of his own in a safe
place in Canada. It is people like him who are creating problems for
the Sikhs in India. Gary talks a lot about 1984 riots. Well my dear
friend where the hell were you in '84. I am proud of the fact that I
am a SIKH and an Indian. I was in Delhi during '84 riots. I lost a few
relatives of mine in those riots. But none of my realtives and the mjority
of the Sikhs wanted or want Khalistan. I do not know where you get your facts
from. If you want to fight for Khalistan why dont you travel to India instead
of creating trouble from outside. It is people like you whom Sikhs should be
ashamed of. You people make a lot of noise knowing that you will not be harmed.

I do not support the way the police is treating the common man in Punjab. I
do not think that peace will come to Punjab if such methods are used. The
solution has to be a political one. But it is people like you supporting the
terrorists financially and moraly from outside who do not want a solution.
I wonder if you have ever been to Punjab. You seem to have lived all your life
in Canada far away from reality in a dreamland of your own. Wake up man. 
Do not harm the Sikhs by these stupid arguments of your own by creating a wrong
impression about them. 

You blame the govt. of India for creating factionalism amongst the Sikhs by
supporting different groups. I think the Sikhs are the first to be blamed for
allowing the govt. to do that. Sikhs have never stood together. They have
been fighting amongst each other for power. Most of the politicians we (Sikhs)
have are corrupt without any morals. We lack a charismatic leader who can deal
with the center. AND BHINDRAWALE WAS NOT SUCH A LEADER. He has harmed the Sikhs
more than any other person in recent times. God forbid ,if we get a leader like
him once again then that will be the end for Sikhs at least. 

Sikhs have generaly been against muslims. Our whole history is full of our
Gurus fighting against the muslim rulers. How can you even think that the muslims
who support you now will continue to do so in the future. Let me make it
clear to my muslim friends that I am not an anti muslims. I am just stating facts.
I sincerely hope you (muslims) guys on the net understand that. Can you imagine
a country called Khalistan surrounded on three sides by the "GREAT SATAN INDIA"
and the Pakistanis. Talk to your older relatives and ask them how much they trust
the Pakistanis. They will still recall the masacre of the partition I am sure.
And you Gary, how do you intend to survive in such a country. 

Gary I do not have any personal grudge against you even though I might have sounded a bit harsh. But that is the way I feel. I simply do not like that a 
person goes around shouting that he/she represents the Sikh majority point of view when they do not even know the ground realities. I sure would like to know you a bit more and would like to exchange owr viewpoints on email most preferably.
