this article cracked me up quite a bit. someone needs to do a similar article talking about how many civilian lives were lost under the various government-sponsored operations.
overall, i think this incident will recirculate pre-exisiting misconceptions in the media about the sikh freedom movement and punjab's past. quite a shame.
