 Hello all of SCI-land:

	There has been an interesting thread going on for a week or so about
KHALISTAN. A lot of people (including myself) have discussed, intelligently, 
the pros and cons, the whys and whynots of possibility/non-possibility of 
Khalistan (while some others <remember Mr. Kick-your-ugly-butts> have strayed
from this sane discussion). 

However, I would like to point out a little of an oversight. I am surprised that
no one brought this matter up.

This thread started by someone asking a question like "What is wrong with asking
for Khalistan ?" (or something to that effect). Well......SUPPOSE that Khalistan
*is* formed (whenever), and SUPPOSE there is a migration of Hidus to India and
Sikhs to Khalistan (acroos the borders just like 1947 when Pakistan was formed).
My question to all of the netland is:

	1. What will happen to the gurudwaaraas (sp?) in India AND to the
	   Temples in Khalistan (presently Punjab) ? I mean, do the people 
	   in favor of Khalistan envisage that unwittingly they are "requesting"
	   the same situation (as Ramjanmbhoomi-Babri Masjid) in the future-
	   Khalistan (and remainder of India) !!! Or do the "khalistanis" plan
	   to "flatten-out" the temples in future "khalistan" ? (if so, then 
	   please..please spare me from your comments on how you feel soooo bad 
	   that the govt. descecrated (sp?) Goldan Temple in 1984 cuz then you 
	   will be contradicting yourself....at least ethically).

	My god! ONE single "Ramjanmbhoomi-Babri Masjid" is proving to be too much
	right now....and people wanna create thousands of similar situations !!!!

Comments / flames / arguments welcome !!

					Cheers,
