For your knowledge so far militancy in punjab has claimed about 1,00,000 Sikh lives but maybe no more than 1000 Hindu lives. The attacks against hindus can be counted on finger tips. The problem is that any time even if 1 single hindu was killed the media , state govrernment, central government and others would come rushing in and it would be blown out of proportion. But when the Sikhs would be killed no one would even notice. At that time all the media was state controlled and foreign media was banned from Punjab.After the 84 riots while the BBC gave the figure of 4-5 thousands dead the doordarshan was saying that ' kuch chit-put ghattan ke elava sab normal hai.' They only reported few dozen deaths.Recently they discovered that Punjab Police secretly cremated about 5000 Sikh youths during late 80sand early 90s. And this was in just 1 tehsil.And u can imagine the figure all over Punjab. They made true this statement of Balram JHakhar that" we will kill 10,000 sikhs and nobody in the world would ever know". The parents of these youth never came to know which police station took them or where they were at. Because the media wasn't reporting these things happening to Sikh youths they were very successfully able to paint the image of Sikhs as a terrorist community.
