SURYADEV Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 We have to pass this act otherwise we will end up becomming hindus death of self i do not fear, death of conciousness I fear. Sant Jarnail Singh bhindranwale. If sikhs are weak of faith that a mere statute of law is what defines them then what future is there for the panth.? Is our 'conciousness' in the law books of the Indian Penal Code? or any other countries law book for that matter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
