  1. What kind of "pandit" would even perform last rites for someone who sided with the Mughals? After Guru Tegh Bahadur's shaheedi for some of the Kashmiri pandits, this is the thanks that Sikhs got…. "When he heard the news of his brother’s death, he became mad with rage. He went on Yahiya Khan. He flung his turban at his feet and said, ‘I shall tie it on my head only when I have destroyed the Sikhs, root and branch. I am a Khatri. I shall not call myself a Khatri until all the Sikhs are destroyed, root and branch.’ " 🤡

  2. More Sikhs should pay attention and stop voting in tyranny (in the guise of progressive policies). Know your history, don't be foolish in thinking it can't repeat itself.
