Editor’s Note: While Sikh24 does not promote singers such as Dosanjh and others who are known to sing lustful songs. They have a following in the mainstream Punjabi community, hence their support towards a just Sikh cause is being highlighted.
have also written a article kindly have a look and let me know if i missed some thing..
This is good but more pressure needs to be put on the government.
this is same Harbhajan maan, who sings the song, ‘kade – kade rabb paida karda badal jiha insaan.. what a disgrace
Great to see support from these people. However, for those of them who identify as Sikhs, the very reason the people are jailed is because they are protecting the dignity of a distinct identity of a minority. Where is their distinct identity? They have reduced that identity to an Indian caste.
