The reason there is no transport en route Delhi from Punjab is that there's chaos in Haryana. Haryanvi jaatts demand special reservation status - they have blocked main roads, water supplies put fire to govt buildings and rail stations. Army has the order of shoot at sight. 10 already killed in the violences across Haryana.

As far I heard, govt is ready to meet all their demands. I wonder if Punjabi jatts can get the same now without much hassle..

Update:

Govt promises reservation, jaatts partially lift blocks

They'll make it much harder for Punjabis to get any rights, the only reason Haryana and Himachel were created was to separate Punjab (based on religion), despite every other state was divided on language.

I thought this had already happened. They've already been declared a backward caste and have reservations. Last year I think?

Absolutely correct DalSingh101.

Two years ago, jatt sikhs were officially classified as backwards, as per their own demands.

Funny old world mate.

The only thing "funny" about it is the fact that we Punjabis are living under the rule of a foreign nation (India) who only assumed power over Punjab because of the lies, untruths and damnright fraudulent promises they made to the Sikhs in 1947. The only thing "funny" is that these poeple that were once sovereign and the regional power have been reduced to a slave like existence by their occupiers (India) whereby the one and only chance for their daughter or son to get a job is by claiming 'protective backward class' status......the one and only chance their son and daughter can get that place in the good schools and colleges is by claiming protective backward class' status.....the one and only chance their son or daughter can get in the police force is by claiming 'protected backwrd class' status......the one and only chance their son or daughter can get a civil service job is to claim 'protected backward class' status.

When a status quo such as this exists we find out the true intellectual quality of the observers. Those lacking brain cells see it as an excuse to beat those that wish their children to have jobs rather than an idle life. The intellectually mature meanwhile, recognise that it is imperative that Punjab is freed from that obscene, immoral, unethical, barbaric foreign rule of India.

I took a few pics of Harmandir Sahib ji and Baba Bakala ji on my trip. Would anybody like to see them?

I'm not sure if it's ok to put them on here. What are the rules regarding Sikh Gurdwara pics?

Please advice, as I'm not sure if I should put them on.
