The elected government of Punjab had no power to control sant. He became dictator in democracy. When he felt his life was in danger he took refuse in Golden temple.

He thought government won’t strike if the public be in side the compound. They were forcefully kept in the compound. Indara Ghandi orders the army into the golden temple. It was blood all over and lot of damaged to the Akal takhet and the temple. How many people died there I don’t know.

What will happen to Sikhs who were living other part of India or overseas? How could all the Sikhs can allow it to happen. We Sikhs are from Hindus. We just did not drop from the sky.

The army has to enter with shoes. The shots at building, that was made of bricks. But what the Sikhs did was worst. The body guards killed the one they posed to be protecting. And Sikhs can’t understand that why the Hindus got angry. They killed the mother of Rajeev Ghandi. How would he felt that the very guard who were hired to protect killed his mother. What is more important bricks or live person? Sikhs have the right to get angry but guy whose mother is killed not supposed to get angry. We have to feel for Rajev too if want to feel for our people.

Most of the Sikhs in Delhi had the 6” kirpan which is given to them to protect them and others. Can any one protect himself and others with 6” kirpan? What can kirpan or gatka do in front of guns?
