My Malice and Bias

It has been torturous 32 years for the widows and children of those brutally killed in a mass genocide directed against the minority Sikh community in India's capital - Delhi. They wail for their men - husbands, fathers, brothers, sons, and grandsons asking for justice ,, so far denied systematically by the corrupt politicians, colluding police officers, and failed judiciary.

We all believe that Sikhs do not believe in caste-ism but reality is strikingly different. Majority of Sikhs these days use caste based family names and some even try to hide "Singh" and "Kaur" as middle names, and an increasing number of Sikhs drop them all together. Hindu or Sikh? These Sikhs who use Hindu caste names as their family names, are the Hindu or Sikhs? Are the Punjabi last names like Dhillon, Sahni, Sidhu, Matharu, Chhabra, Kapoor, or Saini demonstrate Sikh heritage or Hindu ancestry?  To understand this thought, you will have to learn the meaning of these family names and how these are related to Hindu caste system. Hindu Caste System The caste system in India is a system of social stratification which has ancient origins, The Hindu conception of the social order is that people are different, and different people will fit well into different aspects of society.  The duties or "Dharma" of these four castes are documented in sac

His minute and realistic depiction of the details of Punjabi life and political situation in the 18th century, remains unique and the entire poem is an album of colorful and enchanting pictures of life in the Punjab, deeply absorbing.
