The Farm laws r much ado abt v little. The protests r the fightback of the vested interests of the ancien regime. But the Hindu-Sikh nonsense, pandered to merrily by 4th rate Bollywood/Punjab celluloid and cheerled by lot of SM - tht is v dangerous.....

Sikhs need no patronisation frm India's liberal busybees - they r the cultural-eco-bureaucratic elite, part of India's version of the "deep state". But the Khalistan invocations to tar every protesting sikh r so beyond pale, tht it is only greasing the palms of ISI psywar desks..

Ideally, govt shd roll this back/dilute it. Agriculture is terminally shot - there is no redemption. GOI shd, over time, shift to cash transfer to states, let the latter bear the can, as Ashok Gulati suggested. Its far too small an economic deal to unleash base instincts over

Those taking Bhindrawale illustration, some trivia. Bluestar, ill-planned et al, had 2 sikh generals at the helm - KS Brar and RS Dayal(Haji Pir fame). The 1st column of 10 Guards tht went into the temple was commanded by Lt Jasbir Raina, another sikh - lost his legs in battle..

While Army messed up Bluestar, it is much better known tht the Khalistan nonsense was finally squelched by a sikh police force led by a v tall Sikh:).
For every random chap invoking Bhindrawale,there r many sikhs who put their lives on line to pull the cntry frm the same brink..
