This is a real sad article. I am a rediff user ever since it was born. I have never seen a more despiseful article.
There are no doubts in terms of why Bluestar happened. It was the mistake of Sikh community to take arms from Pakistanis and use them on its own community and Hindus. Greedy disgraceful people of Sikh community got bribed by Pakistani agencies to raise arms and not against any atrocities.
The author surely is not from Punjab. Ask a person who cared to live in that turnmoil in Punjab how it was.
Sikhs who had supported terrorists were opportunists and robbers. In my family many are Sikhs and many are Hindus. My own Sikh brother-in-law was killed by his own cousion for extorting money in name of supporting terrorists, let alone Hindus. My Hindu uncle was killed by terrorists and he was one of the most devoted visitors to Gurudwaras.
Bluestar and Black Thunder had to happen. Gurudwaras can be built again but can you bring back a dead person? In most Gurudwaras, Hindus and Sikhs do kar seva together. What is the author talking about?
Punjab is one of he most richest states. It is the real jewel of India. The author has no right to disgrace us Punjabis.
