      Of course Sikhs don’t support Khalistan. here have I said they do. They’re India’s backbone and so Modi govt & its godimedia are defaming them to

      1. create a bogeyman so majoritarian Hindus can be conned to feel they’re in danger AND

      2. as a vindictve response to the Sikh support for the farmers protest that derailed Modi’s favoured oligarch Adani’s plans to control India’s agri business.

        Pretty sure that Sikh farmers have isolated Nihangs away from their protest. Most Indians hate Godi Media to begin with, and we saw in protests how Godi Media people were booed and driven away by farmers from protest sites. The Khalistan flag incident was also quickly corrected and condemned by farmers.

        Modi may use it to fuel his hatred agenda, but the unfortunate part is that Khalistanis have been sheltered by Canada, UK and USA for decades now, with nothing ever done by these “western democracies”.
