After 3500 years of slavery when Brahmin-Hindus felt the need to enjoy freedom, why can't others do the same?  Therefore, the Kashmiris, Sikhs and Dalits must also be given the same rights of freedom as they are also human beings.  I endorse the idea of Dr. Sekhon that Brahmins-Hindus should leave the other nations be and establish their own state called Brahminstan consisting of 14 percent of the Indian population which is the numbers of the population of India which are Brahmins-Hindus.  If a pigeon closes its eyes the cat does not go away.  Based on the same analogy, Brahmins-Hindus should relinquish their illegal occupation before these nations forcefully remove them from their lands.  Please see the following news article, there are still protests ongoing for the liberation of Jammu and Kashmir.

Regards,

Habib Yousafzai


Protests continue across Kashmir


Kashmiri women hold placards as they shout anti-Indian slogans during a protest in Srinagar on August 29, 2010.

Thousands of people have poured into the streets in different cities across the Indian-administered Kashmir to protest New Delhi's rule over the disputed region.


On Sunday, demonstrators defied a strict curfew to hold a pro-independence rally in the capital city of Srinagar. 

Police fired teargas and used batons to disperse protesters in several cities in the region. 

Thousands also attended a ceremony in memory of dozens of people killed in police firing over two months of unrest. 

In Budgam, protesters shouted pro-independence slogans as they traveled on motorcycles. 

They were protesting the continuous civilian killings in the volatile valley over the past two months. 

The Indian-administered region has been rocked by frequent protest rallies since June 11, when government forces killed a teenager. 

The demonstrations come while India has deployed more police and paramilitary troops in Kashmir. 

The Indian security forces have also put several key separatist leaders, including Ali Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, under house arrest to stop further unrest. 

On Saturday, Indian troops erected iron gates and barbed wire barriers to seal off flash points of demonstrations in the Muslim-majority region, with police officials saying that "the step has been taken to prevent any law and order problems."

The 'Brahmins-Hinds, Incorporation of the alleged Indian democracy of the 'Brahmins-Hindus & pro-Brahmins-Hindus, like Prakash (Hanera/Darkness) Sinh Badal and his "joe boys and joe girls" of the Akali Dal-Badal Private Limited Incorporation

Do not blame Dr G N Fai for the problems of the Internationally Disputed Areas of Jammu and Kashmir. You must blame the 'Brahmins-Hindus, Incorporation' for the whole problem of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

The 'Brahmins-Hindus, Incorporation is well known to 'twist and distort' the facts of the History. In over six decade the deceitful, divisive and apartheid practicing bureaucracy, political scientist, foreign, defence affairs personnel, etc., have done unimaginable damage to the problems of Kashmir, the Landless Sikh Nation, PUNJAB (under the occupation of the 'Brahmins-Hindus alleged Indian democracy, since 15th August, 1947), Assam, 7-sister of Assam, Manipur, Bihar, Orrissa, Dalits, Adivaasis/Moolnivaasis, etc., that the 'ONLY' amicable resolution of the problems of the non-Brahmins-Hindus is to "Break the Chains of the 'Brahminis's Slavery." 

That's what Dr G N Fai had advocated and demanded. Any day that passes by, the 'Brahmins-Hindus, Inc.' has been loosing the 'grip' on the democracy. Besides, the 'Brahmins-Hindus, Inc., has already turned into a 'police state'. The Hon Dana Rohrabacher, Congress of the United States of America's statement that "as far as the Sikhs, Muslims, and other non-Brahmin and non-Hindus minorities" are concerned, 'India is a police state'.

The 'Brahmins-Hindus' evil polices will destroy the alleged Indian democracy. Sooner is better.

I wish you the very best fellows (4+11%, Brahmins and Hindus), to chalk out their programme for the establishment of a state to be called the "Brahminstan".
