  7. ​ @JT.Pilgrim  This is because of the global woke virus combined with CPC and sunni islamist influence in Canadian and global academia. This is not your fault. The truth is very long, complicated and convoluted. An armed group of hundreds or thousands of Pakistani Army trained, equipped and supported militants took over the Golden Temple in India. Many or most of them were good people, but mislead and confused. The USSR opposed these Khalistanis and fed all sorts of reports to Indian PM Indira Gandhi about them that in retrospect was possibly only partly true. The USSR wanted operation blue star to clear the golden temple. (Maybe the USSR thought they were anti communist?) Local and national Sikh leaders urged an operation to clear the golden temple and make it safe. (USSR propaganda involved?) My understanding is that the majority of the Indian Army and Indian police involved in the operation were Sikh. And the operation was broadly supported by Indian Sikhs and Indian Sikhs leaders, albeit not universally so. Partly because the mission (Blue Star) went very badly. Indira Gandhi appears to have regretted operation blue star to clear the Golden Temple and come to the conclusion that the Soviets railroaded and misled her. I think some blame perhaps should go to PM Indira Gandhi for allowing the Golden temple to be taken by a group of Pakistani armed militants to take over the Golden Temple in the first place. Within India under the Indian constitution Hindu is defined as everyone who is not muslim, christian, jewish and zorastrian, including affirmatively all atheists, sikhs, jains, buddhists, vaishnavs, shaivites, shaaktas etc. Most Indian Sikhs identify as culturally hindu. Over time 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation Sikhs in Canada no longer identify with the broader dharmic umbrellas. But in India most Sikhs do. In India based on public polling, 95% of Indian Sikhs oppose Khalistan; usually very vocally so. There is a growing conflict between Indian Sikhs, non Canadian Sikhs and Canadian born Sikhs ​ @JT.Pilgrim, how can this growing tension and conflict be addressed?

  8.  @JT.Pilgrim  Can you elaborate on what you mean? Do you mean that Indian Sikhs are suppressing Canadian born Sikhs? "But their right to exist on their traditional land should no be suppressed because they are a small minority." This is very confusing. Do you mean that 95% of Indian Sikhs are suppressing 5% of Indian Sikhs? "These Canadian born K supporters are feeling robbed of their culture." Why are Indian Sikhs responsible for this? Indian Sikhs are similar to the Jews of Canada. A lot of Indian Presidents/PMs, top generals, top civil society leaders, business leaders, tech leaders, academics, politicians are Sikh Indian Sikhs punch far about their weight in Indian culture, society, business, politics, academia and thought leadership. Are you referring to how a lot of non Sikhs and non Punjabis are moving to traditional Sikh areas in India and buying property? "The means that were executed by the Indian government to that end was a violent act of suppression itself." Not following. I think you are referring to the riots in Delhi immediately after PM Indira Gandhi was assassinated. It took more than 60 hours to restore law and order. I think the Indian woke left Congress Party--that was in power in 1984--bears a lot of responsibility. The current far less woke BJP government might try to prosecute Congress politicians for the 1984 Delhi riots. It would probably be seen as a partisan attack on Congress though. "It just so happens it’s not as bad when we do it in our own minds. Take the log out of thy own eye. That’s true for everyone on any side of a conflict. In that we can find common ground where mutual respect can grow. " Please elaborate on what you mean. Within the Indian context, many BJP leaders are almost Khalistan lite sympathetic and get bashed by Indian Sikhs for dancing with Khalistan lite. Do you appreciate just how unpopular Khalistanis are with Indian Sikhs? In polls, 95% of Indian Sikhs oppose a Khalistani state.
