  1. This is very sad, and he was way too young. This is very unfortunate and I hope the family finds the strength and courage during this very difficult time, it will take time and they will of course never forget their son.

    Punjabis need to do more research on the health of our community and why so many people pass away from cardiac arrest including young people. If Sikhs had their own country and own institutions we would’ve have been much more advanced as a society but unfortunately living under the oppressive Indian regime that has deeply divided the people and does nothing to get rid of corruption, then our community will never succeed collectively, yes punjabis can leave India and live in Canada or the USA and create their own little successful ethnic enclave communities abroad but Punjab would continue to crumble and the health care system there needs major major improvements, having an advanced health care system of course saves lives but that is something India is lacking even though every other person or family is eager for their child to become a doctor but what does being a doctor really mean when you actually don’t care about saving lives but just care more about the title doctor and the respect people perceive they’ll get when they become doctors, become doctors because your passionate about science and healthcare not because your egotistic and hungry for a high paying job

      • ????????? butt hurt Hindutva losers of India always blaming
        Pakistan for everything because they are such losers!!!! Have you ever looked in the mirror? Indian government has started wars against its own states and own citizens …. Sikhs in Punjab and all over India were killed by government… government of India started wars in Assam, Kashmir and goa and they continue to oppress the Maoist regions and the list goes on so how about you good for noting Indian government shoe lickers start taking some doses of reality rather then bowing your head to the monster of a mother you have, India … India has become a vile viscous Zombie creature that is worse then Aurangzeb or any evil leaders the land has ever seen .. never forget that indira Gandhi and her son Rajiv Gandhi sent tanks to our believed historical Sikh gurdwaras at harmander Sahib and they bombed akal takht which was the house of sixth Guru hargobind Singh the creator of Miri piri, the son of guru Arjun dev and they burnt the Sikh library with historical artefacts and books.. you think you can destroy us? We will always fight for what’s right and for justice and for real equality …
