Indonesian Law

[Guest Guest]

Is it true that Indonesian law does not recognise Sikhism?

Indonesian law does not recognize Sikhism, thus Sikhs are not allowed to identify themselves as such on their identity cards or birth or marriage certificates, Sikhs are therefore registered as Hindu.

Its still there now and other countries copy it,

The UN says its very hard to help Sikhs get freedom as India says Sikhs are Hindus in law and 'Hindus' already have Freedom so the question of Sikhs wanting freedom does not make sense to institutions such as the UN.India says as Hindus(Hindus includes Sikhs) have their own country why should anyone want another country when they are already have one as Hindus.A very clever ploy to keep us down - technically Sikhism does not exist in India , and due to that Sikhism is not EVEN recognised by the UN

it dosnt really matter if Indonesian law does recognises sikhs or not, if we cant get indian law to recognise sikhs then we really cant say anything to any other nation.

At least India mentions the Sikhs. Indonesia a former Hindu kingdom which fell to the Arab invaders. In 50 years Muslims have jumped from 50% to now close to 90%. Even Saudia Arabia has identity cards of the Sikhs so LOL Indonesia doing this is a joke. Many Pakistanis boast about how strict Muslims are in Indonesia and yet they still have names like "kamaru priyana".
