[net.politics] Sihhs and Hindus

What is happening in India?
===========================




For those of you that get confused listening to stories about violence
in India, the following information should be of help:


Sikh religion is an off-spring of Hinduism.  It is NOT a blend of Islam
and Hinduism as some would like you to believe.  Guru Gobindsingh created
Sikhs so to defend the moslem oppressors.

There has never been any trouble between Hindus and Sikhs except for last
two or three years.  The trouble is inspired by a handful of selfish leaders
that are hurting millions of Sikhs by their terrorist activities.

It is a shame to watch people celebrating a barbaric act.

I am writing this because I have always had a good deal of respect for
Sikh freedom fighters that fought against the British.  The Sikh religion
is a good religion and is being tarnished by unholy things such as the killing
of Mrs. Gandhi.

I sincerely hope that Hindus and Sikhs can live together in peace.

I condemn all violence; the riots must stop.
