Why the Indian gov does not like religious persons, who ever belong to other religions except Hindus? Just for votes? Hindus feel happy, when a sikh is killed? Sikh may be innocent, a religious person? Why Hindu is so cruel? Sikhs were tortured to death, burnt alive, even their bodies were not given to families. Why? 90 percent were totally innocents without any weapon, just because they were sikhs? Shame on Indian gov & Indians, those who could not shed a tear on killings of thousands of sikhs, on the other hand felt happy.
EVIL INDIAN GOVERNMENT KILLED SO MANY SIKHS AND TORTURED THEM. THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA IS SO DISGUSTING
