  1. Hindu , Sikh and Muslim groups formed to support Trump. The Hindu support is based on his anti Muslim statements and significant Indian investments. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2016-35758156
  2. Meanwhile Trump is getting support from Indian Americans. Two groups formed Indians for Trump and Hindus for Trump. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/hindus-trump-portrays-us-presidential-candidate-indian-diety-1547487
  3. Persian/Urdu language was used on the floor tiles to state contributions by Sikhs and others in the past. It was considered to be bad to walk over Gurmukhi.
  4. Best to fly to Amritsar. The anti Amritsar lobby in Delhi and Chandigarh won't allow it though.
  5. Indian media finally waking up to gang rapes , Police involvement in riots etc. Sikhs never got any justice when massacres and rapes took place on massive scale and still have not. http://www.dailyo.in/politics/murthal-highway-mass-gang-rape-jat-agitation-haryana-national-media-arnab-goswami-mahishasur-barkha-dutt-the-tribune-smriti-irani/story/1/9266.html
  6. Jaat Hindus have not changed at all since 84 massacres. News coming out about killing of minorities and arson of their properties.Many in Punjab do not travel alone through Harayna to Delhi already, things got worse.
  7. The road and rail routes going through Harayna to Punjab are not safe even during quiet periods. http://dailysikhupdates.com/evidence-emerges-on-gangrape-of-ten-women-in-murthal-haryana/
  8. The Jaat Hindus of Harayna have been historically jealous of Sikhs and were at the forefront of burning Sikhs alive in the state and Delhi.Not surprised they attacked Sikhs with which they have nothing in common.
  9. Also women have been raped on highway NH1 travelling through Harayna. Best to fly to Amritsar.
  10. Sikh businesses have been burnt in Harayna. Sikh businesses have been burnt in Harayna.
  11. Major anti Government violence in Harayna. Army out as 12 people are killed and arson in many cities.Travel to Punjab disrupted from Delhi. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-35624547
  12. Quotes from the Koran about how to deal with non Muslims http://www.wvinter.net/~haught/Koran.html
  13. The Indian Media love Trump as he said the Indian economy was doing well. They are not bothered about the Sikh protester. http://m.timesofindia.com/world/India-doing-great-no-one-talks-about-it-Donald-Trump/articleshow/50736507.cms
  14. So all along Niddar and his friends were a front for an anti Sikh organisation. Many times they denied it, but he has said it himself. This cult should be shut down before it makes fools of innocent Sikh youth and damages them.
  15. Quite shameful that Niddar has come out as a RSS worker and has a questionable personal life, but his supporters are failing to accept this.
  16. Is Niddar still the leader of this group? By committing adultery he has breached all Sikh religious rulings so should be expelled , unless his friends think it is Ok.
  17. Many people had said that he and some of his supporters were financed by India, proven now.
  18. Something strange about this. The militants hijack the SP policecar on Friday and then attack the Base on Saturday and it's still going on after 3 days in an area full of Indian military.
  19. Has his group issued any statement about his departure and conduct?
  20. So the 'last warrior' has done a runner. I feel sorry for his wife and children and the woman he has gone off with.Maybe his mates that have bigged him up that he was the Nihang master will give it a rest.
  21. The social networks have fallen apart and many of the young Sikhs have little confidence in the older generation finding them a partner.Many Gursikhs youth have been caught out in not having anyway of finding a partner without having to resort to dating. Something the younger Sikh groups to focus on and facilitate introductions.
  22. The dedicated guys have been imprisoned, nobody on mass is asking for their release. Many who were saying they were supporting Sikh causes have gone silent after some calls from Badal and Indian Govt reps, personal interests unfortunately put first.Beadbi, Sikh protesters that were shot, Sikh prisoners no justice received.
  23. Badals undermined Amritsar Airport in favour of Chandigarh. However real objective was to increase land prices in the Chandigarh area. There are also new domestic airports in Batindha and Pathankot that have zero flights. Air India says that the Amritsar flight is its most profitable often totally full. You struggle to get a ticket at peak times for Amritsar on all flights. A few extra flights have been introduced at Amritsar recently including one to Malaysia but not promoted.
  24. Very few know about how the Sikhs defeated the British army. It took a Pakistani military man to write an analysis of the battle. https://www.allaboutsikhs.com/historical-events/second-anglo-sikh-war-chillianwala The forgotten British reverse in India by Maj (Retd) AGHA HUMAYUN AMIN from WASHINGTON DC . The list of military disasters which the British suffered in India is long, but most of these were rationalised by British military historians by highlighting situational factors which made British defeat certain and inevitable and was in many cases due to circumstances involving overwhelming numerical inferiority, excessive battle exhaustion, adverse weather and terrain etc. The Battle of Chillianwala fought on 13 January 1849 is, however, one odd exception and stands out as a battle in which the British failed to defeat their opponents despite having the advantages of weight of numbers, ideal weather and terrain, superior logistics etc. In Afghanistan the British disaster was explainable since the British force which was destroyed while retreating from Kabul to Jalalabad was a vastly over numbered exhausted and logistically very weak force of some 700 Europeans and 4,500 Native troops which was destroyed by a vastly superior Afghan force in adverse mountain terrain and very cold weather. At Bhurtpore the British failure to capture the mud fortress was ascribed by a British military historian to lack of adequate artillery.1 At Chillianwala a British Army which had a high European troop component large number Sepoy (regiments), sufficient artillery, two heavy cavalry brigades to ensure that no one could surprise the British army, excellent logistics, little campaign exhaustion having fought no major battle since assumption of hostilities, winter weather negating the possibility of heatstroke and cholera the worst killers of white soldiers in India,failed to defeat the Sikhs. Chillianwala thus stands out as a battle which changed Indian perceptions about British military effectiveness and had a direct link with the “Great Sepoy Rebellion” or “The Indian War of Independence” of 1857. A succession of British military victories since 1757 barring few exceptions like Battle of Pollilore (September 10 1780), Siege of Bhurtpore (1804-1805), Monsoon’s Retreat (1804), Kabul Brigade’s Retreat (January 1842) which were dismissed as exceptions (to the general rule of “European Superiority) by virtue of exceptional numerical or other odds; it was assumed that no Native army of India, Nepal or Afghanistan could stand a determined bayonet charge by the Red Coats. A feeling of superiority was produced accompanied by the natural attitude of over confidence and rashness, and most British commanders felt that simply a direct march to the sound of guns and a simple frontal assault using “Cold Steel” was enough to disperse any native army however tough or well trained. The uses of manoeuvre or taking into account the “Independent Will of the Enemy” and the fact that a British army could ever be surprised was dismissed as impossible. Thus once the British suffered a rude reverse accompanied by heavy casualties despite having all the advantages; public opinion in Britain was shocked. The British Commander in Chief General Gough was replaced by Charles Napier. Subsequently when the Sikhs were defeated at Battle of Gujerat (21 February 1849) British military historians rationalised their defeat at Chillianwala by laying the blame on “Bad Terrain” “Lack of Artillery” “Cowardice of the Native Troops” etc. Chillianwala was forgotten and Gough again became a hero. The damage done at Chillianwala to the prestige of British arms was enormous and played a major role in changing Indian attitudes about the British, leading directly to the “Great Sepoy Rebellion” in which the British almost lost their Indian Empire and the English East India Company whose private Bengal Army had fought Chillianwala lost India to the British Crown!
  25. What is needed is greater awarness of the Anglo Sikh wars both in the British and Sikhs. They are the only wars in which a non European army defeats the British in some major battles. Nobody else in Asia or Africa used cavalry , artillery and infantry in a modern warfare way. https://www.allaboutsikhs.com/historical-events/the-first-anglo-sikh-warbattle-of-ferozeshah https://www.allaboutsikhs.com/historical-events/second-anglo-sikh-war-chillianwala
