Sikh Vichar Manch Condemns Taliban Violence
By Balbir Singh Sooch
I believe that leaders of Sikhs, Muslims, Tamils, Christians and others, including NRI'S have been advised to take their movements outside India, to give the impression that excesses are being committed more in the outer world other than inside India. Such directions or advice are not without motive and might serve like a multifacted weapon for the disadvantage of minorities to the advantage of India.
Is it a consolatory plan for the citizens of India so they should happily bear with a bad Indian system? It has long been noticed, especially in the case of Sikhs, that grievances against the Sikhs are always being stretched out of proporotion, taking place outside but without any adequate or effective action by India.
I wonder is it being done just to cover up our own spoiled system? There is nobody to attend the similar grievances of Sikhs and others in their Homeland Punjab. I personally also experienced and faced problems but no one came to my rescue including so the called militants or Khalistanis except to watch the fun take place.

Shameful act - National Human Right Commission failed to act
Mostly, such nasty moves aim to pitch minorities against minorities or the mighty against the weak. The cruel action of the Taliban against Sikhs is nothing but it conveys the message that might is always right, in case they don't amend themselves, the same thing could happen to them anytime, then they should not repent at all. I feel, the days are not far away for them like LTTE, provided there is no politics in it.
The action of Taliban is only justifying the hatred of Indian system which is the base of Indian politics and moreover, it is like condoning the excesses of Indian rulers against the minorities committed so far. Please link and read:

I may be wrong to say so, that, these days, the militants belonging to any category - class, race, community etc, they enjoy and do have power, so long as their supply line is strong or uninterrupted. Taliban are no exception to this rule for staying in the field as militants and they should not forget it.
There is nothing more to say but, State Terrorism - LTTE Tigers and Khalistanis
