Or some pyrrhic victory? I grew up with marches, and all manner of political overtures about 84 - not one resulted in shyte. To me this just seems like a repetition of a failed stratagem? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because india is trying to revisionist history and gaslight the whole narrative and history. We do want as many sources as possible to reflect the truth about 1984. And legislations like this and the recognition of Guru Granth Sahib Ji as a living person in New Jersey are clear indications that there are some efforts in place to legally create jurisprudence that protects our history, and identity. Believe me. The very next time I debate a pile of hindu hayinas this fact will keep me from getting invalidated by a slew of lies about history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
