Indian government know what they are up against this klunk of 1984 and also 1947 and1978 will never come off from them - they know once day Khalsa will rule over Delhi - there is not doubt. Protesting does a massive lot - the Rajoaanaa protests worldwide has made India look like a fool on the international stage and also the recent Bhullar protest is doing the same - they look even bigger idioits on the world stage. Protest have done such things and don't forget the badals - who like to visit the states or thailand or anywhere else for that matter now suddenly have to answer to the crimes they have comitted - thanks mostly to the work of Sikhs4 Justice and contributing sikhs to such charities. However to be fair there are disadvantages at protests that is when they start to go pear shaped i.e. the most recent one in London - firstly sikhs were protesting - then it turns into keertan in London - now you tell which one is more effective.Why the hell are we doing keeertan when we first started off protesting and sharing leaflets out with the general public about what has happeneed to us - this is where we go wrong - we forget what we started with and start muddling it up. I have complete respect for people doing keertan dont; get me wrong - but this is not how we will be able to explain our protest in London to the general public - even if you had translation of SGGS up there while doing keertan.> We need our singhs and singhnis to not be in

seeking attention what planet are you on -- We are not seeking attention - we are merely telling the world and the indian butchers what they have done and we will not stop until there is Khalsa rule on Delhi !!!The jews celebrate and educate there young to this day of the holocaust and they are still seeking and gettting back every penny that was stolen from them - there are cases going with various governments and entities involved. Why do you think the germans cant get their Gold back from the US so quickly?
We need to do so much and reach out so far - May Mahraj give us the understanding and responsibility to do so - as for the people in Punjab we are the only hope.
