Yoda-esque Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 AAP is like TMC of the north/west...I actually think they can sweep through North and center and west of India if they get an opening. They can't sweep center because center is pro Hindu unlike punjab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingravi Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Maybe I am new to the priveleged victim game.

So many Jasvinders have become Josephs I dont know why they do this. They have their own 'sect' of Sikhism called Ravidassia in which Ravidas is given as equal importance as the Sikh Gurus if not more. They should just stick to that. Even if they convert they will still be seen as dalits. Edited September 19, 2021 by Ranvir coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bharathh Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Yeah - didn't strike me yesterday. Don't ppl claim to convert as they will become equals in the new religion? What is a Dalit Sikh? Sikhs don't convert anymore right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a huge diversity in Sikhs as well. Sainis dominate Doaba regions like Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar etc whereas Bains and Randhawas dominate in Ambarsar. So, I don't think it is a Hindu or Sikh divide as such. Ranvir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you are implying is that its okay for the BJP to ally itself with a part that is involved in cross border drug trade to keep the Congress out? Seems to be a recurring theme with the BJP. They were in an alliance with the anti national PDP in Kashmir and were trying hard to woo and strike a deal with Dawood Ibrahim's (sic) NCP in Maharashtra. Look what happened to PDP.
