We’ve fought in both World war and helped Britain to win. Britain should return all Maharaja Ranjit Singh item’s back to us – which is the right thing to do. These item’s should be placed in Harmandir sahib museum. Where Sikh;s and none Sikh’s can appreciate our History.
Great news for us all to go see and appreciate our rich history.
