I understand the anguish of the Sikhs.Sir, there were many kings who were not amenable to the Mughals; during the martyrdom of the Sahibzadas, Nawab Sher Mohammad Khan of Malerkotla being a famous opposer of the Mughals at that point. Yet, the times than were different and the Sikhs got justice by the sword. Sirhind was burned down to the ground, Zain Khan was killed, the Sivalik Hill Rajas were defeated and made vassals of the Punjab, and the Durranis too were kicked out and their lands taken over. I don't think that type of justice is anything to wish for in the context of India and Sikhs have already rejected the bloody insurgency which sprung up after Operation Bluestar. The fight for justice this time around is different and the Sikhs who have taken this to US courts are US citizens and they are fighting the only way they can. Through the judicial system.
It is justified.
Yet, I, as an Indian, will not bow down to a foreign power to dictate terms and I am sure no Sikh would either.
Therefore, the issue should be in the International Court of Justice and not the US or any other court.
Will the US allow any of its people to be tried by another country?
No.
Check the Davis case where he is indeed a murderer in any court!
The don't even recognise the International Court of Justice.
Why must India recognise the US courts?
At this rate, then Medha Patkars, Arundhuti Roys will also be justified to take issues to the US courts. And why not? Geelani also would go to the US courts.
If that becomes a precedence, should we not become another state of the US and done with it?
