as usual, you barking up the wrong tree. That was indianprincess with the friend of grandpops, not atominis.😆 And no, my sympathies are with the indian army that your buddy atominis ran down with the comment: "The indian army didn't even spare innocent children, women, old age ppl who had come to the golden temple for worship when they attacked it in the name of flushing out terrorists."

that might be cool for you. It aint for me. . The army has a tough job with phony patriotic politicians as it is, we dont need more bull from virtual posters with virtual evidence that we cant test for veracity. And sorry buddy, i am here to debate, not chit chat. If you or your buddies cant do that, maybe you should try the chat forums?😆

That reminds me- genocide? You do like using fancy words, dont you?😆

Yes India does owe an apology to the Sikhs. What I don't agree with is, that the riots have been dubbed as a attack by Hindus on Sikhs. It was not, it was Congress supporters who attacked Sikhs. Congress supporters from 1970s became extremely high handed because of the virtual monopoly that they enjoyed in the Indian political scene and they used to attack or threaten anyone who were not affiliated with their party somehow or didn't agree to tow their line. They attacked Communists, forced students to boycott college exams and threatened them if they did not obey, going out became unsafe for girls. Indira Gandhi brought the culture of political party fostering goons to suppress others, which is now emulated by all other parties in India. She also started the trend of turning political parties into family business by propping up her son Sanjay Gandhi as the heir apparent to the Congress throne. In a way, whole of India was terrorised by Congress supporters during 1970s and 80s, although what happened to the Sikh community during the riots was of a much higher magnitude than the general terror that the Congress supporters spread over others. But to blame Hindus for the murders committed by Indira Gandhi and her gang of goons is unfair.

I'm not so naive to believe that an ordinary Sikh person could have successfully opposed Bhindranwale and forced him to move out of the Golden Temple premises. When I say Sikh community, I mean the leadership of that community. Golden Temple is the hub of Sikh religion, all important leaders of Sikh community will be there, yet they did not force Bhindranwale to leave the Golden Temple premises. Shouldn't they have done that?
