Re: Hindu Sikh Relations in India and Abroad

I have a 'strange' interest in politics of TN and Punjab.Punjab I 'see' from far through newspaper,books.TN,I know from the inside. The very fact that TN and Punjab are part of the same nation is in my mind nothing short of a miracle.They are two 'extremes' of a continnum. I will merely say that not...
