PLease remember, that not ALL Hindus were a part of the systematic attack on Sikhs in 1984; there were some that helped save some Sikhs lives. By claiming taht all Hindus are "like this" or "like that", how is it different from the discrminatory mentality of the Indian government? As a Sikh, isn't one supposed to accept everyone from all religions and not put them in a negative light? Are we not all brothers and sisters?

I understand your frustration, but that does not justify saying that all Hindus are "like this" or "that". As Sikhs, we wouldn't like it if someone labels all of us according to stereotypes present in Bollywood films. By the way, as I stated in my post before, there were some Hindus during the 1984 crisis that helped Sikhs escape the brutal situation. Are you going to put them in the "all Hindu" category as well? I acknowledge your concern that the Inidan government and those responsible for the killings have not apologized and that angers me as well. But be careful not to label the whote entire community based on the actions of a few.

HINDU MEANS THIEF

[Pheena]

ok is this written by the same person?

im getting conflicting answer and its cufoosing me...i must have missed something...

so the first post said this..

The hypothesis that Persians had difficulty in pronouncing Sindhu is baseless and preposterous. For example, how do the Persians who are Shia Muslims pronounce words like Shia, Sunni and Shariat? In Punjabi there are many, many words of Persian origin, which start with ‘s’ and ‘sh’. For example, sardar or sirdar (leader), shaheed (martyr), shhadat (martyrdom) shair (lion), sahir (town), sar (walk) shayer (poet), shakar (sugar), sja (punishment), siahi (black ink), siah (black) and so on. The word Punjab is also derived from Persian panch and aab (five waters).

The last post above me says this:

Later, when the Muslim invaders arrived from such places as Afghanistan and Persia, they called the Sindhu River the Hindu River. The name "Hindu" was then used to describe the inhabitants from that tract of land in the northwestern provinces of India where the Sindhu River (the modern Indus) is located, and the region itself was called "Hindustan." Because the Sanskrit sound of "S" converts to "H" in the Parsee language, the Muslims pronounced the Sindhu as "hindu," even though at the time the people of the area did not use the name "hindu" themselves.

so the what language are the words in the first quote: Shia, Sharia..etc from if not parsee?
