In one question about khalistan, you answered that we shouldn't discriminate and we shouldn't put a border on the khalsa rule, khalsa will rule the world. However, in our teachings, Guru Gobind Singh Ji taught us that we should try to put up with injustice until all of our peaceful ways have been exhausted. Then, we should pick up the sword. How can you say that we will be discriminating, when all of our means of peace already have been exhausted? Do you guys have a clue of how many millions of Sikhs have been killed, just due to the fact that they were Sikh? I have wept through many days and nights because I find out that the people who used to take care of me and play with me when I was young, the people whom I cherished are now gone because of India. Please answer this question because your perspective really confused me. Does this mean that we should just forget everything that our Sikhi has gone through, and just move on?

It is very tragic what happened to the Golden Temple and all the innocent people who's blood was shed over the years.

Our history is full of sacrifices and martyrs. We hear of countless tales in our history and ardas.

We are not people of anger and revenge. We are "nirbhou, nirvair" without anger without revenge. Concentrate on expanding your world and releasing your anger. God is the final judge and will correct all the wrongs. If your act out of your will, then your will only get the karma of your actions. Better to belive in the will of Akal Purkh. He will right every wrong and balance the scales
Wait and see what happens.

For now, read Sikh History, "The Sikh Religion" by Max Macauliff...you will find many inspiring historical accounts and more severe circumstances and what the outcome was.
