[QUOTE="Akashdeep Singh, post: 48215, member: 3640"] Hukum Kaur ji, I'm impressed with the response that you have chosen to this behavior. There is a lot to be said on this topic. I'll choose some other occasion to talk on it or come up with an article. There is no doubt that the Sikhs have had the passion for freedom in greater amount. Mathematicians and statisticians can calculate that percentage from the data at the end of the article that is posted here. Sikhs are just 2% but their sacrifices and contributions in the freedom struggle of India are in huge numbers. The above data does not count the number of Sikh lives lost fighting for the freedom from the cruel [B]Mughal[/B] rulers. If those numbers are counted, not a single mouth will ever open against the contribution of Sikhs towards the freedom. Our gurus have told us, [I][B]"Soora so pehchaniye jo ladai deen ke het purja purja kat mare kabhi na chade khet"[/B][/I] Which translates loosely to English like, [B]"The Knight is only he, who fights for the cause of the poor and helpless. He fights in the battlefield for justice and does not retract even if he is cut into pieces limb by limb"[/B] [SIZE=1] [Disclaimer: I did not get time to translate the above written lines word by word as I'm rushing for a meeting. Khalsa ji, pardon mistakes if any. "He" is used in the translation above to refer to humans as entirety. It has nothing to do with gender classification][/SIZE] I am thankful that you have chosen this path of knowing the right history. I just completed another article on [B]"Indian National Army"[/B] which was the brain product of [B]Captain Mohan Singh[/B] but nobody remembered him.
