No thanks I would rather interact with actual Sikh friends of mine.

Would you like to interact with a Sikh without an agenda whose father serves in Indian army?

You know what is actually mistreatment of minorities

I thought you said fear mongering based on what happened in 1984 was “baseless”? While fear mongering may be wrong, it’s shocking to call it baseless.

Dare I say it, but it’s almost Holocaust denial territory

And quite rich of you lot to accuse India while you reside in a country which was colonial in nature and killed 100times more innocents than Indians ever did.

I don’t deny it’s existence. The term baseless was for your insistence of ‘mistreatment’ of Sikhs in India.

Find me something substantial that has happened to Sikh community in last 20years.

I didn’t insist there was an ongoing mistreatment. Where have I said that?

I took issue with the fact that you said fear mongering was baseless. There is a base, and it’s one of the worst miscarriages of justice in history.

I was responding to Mo who still believes Hindus are out there killing Sikhs.

Btw ive never said hindus were an issue its more a case of the Government doing what it does !?

What kind of warped justification is this? The riot happened because it was allowed to happen.

I’ve heard/read harrowing accounts alikening this to Crystal Nacht in Nazi Germany.

35 years ago. I seriously urge you to visit India again.
This is unhealthy information about India.

India has far too many actual things wrong that we don’t need to add misinformation to portray India in wrong light.

I am not even a patroit but when I know for first hand that what is being said was perhaps true 35years ago but not now, I have to intervene.

This mean @Electrifying and @Calum dont Love Ireland.

I am not justifying it, however I also find it dumb of two bodyguards to put their community into such grave danger by killing the prime minister.
What did they think? A PM dies and the nation won’t react?

It’s just a high level stupidity. Do it anywhere and the outcome will be same, especially back in those days.

Can you stop quoting multiple posts in their entirety please, you’re cluttering up the place.

Your portraying what happened to Sikhs as nothing, as the mothers that lost husbands, sons and daughters to India’s mistreatment of its citizens !? Sikhs have always been treated with outright disdain by the politicians, learn your history before you continue to make comments on issues that still happen today !? Do you live in Punjab, if not I suggest you speak to people who do - I have family there !?

British Isles :kroenke::laca:

Those days weren’t the early 1900s. The assasination of Franz Ferdinand setting off the first World War and the like.

This was 1984. This was a civilized world.

I’m also a little surprised that you’ve not outrightly condemned the riots.

This is a great pun :joy:

I’ve never been to Ireland but would love to do a weekend in Dublin at some point in the future tho haha
