I once asked a Khalistani sympathiser as to how he would rank the following in order of most to least hurtful to Sikhs:
- Skewed male to female ratio
- Drug problem in youth
- Falling water table in Punjab
- High incidence of cancer (probably due to indiscriminate use of low cost pesticides and fertilizers)
- RoLers preying on Sikh heathen
- Disinterest of youth in tending farmlands
- Evil Hindus
The person was predictably silent but replied after 3 days that most of the above were due to machinations of Hindus and decades of conspiracy.
I stopped talking to that person after that.

All those points that you make are well made. These farmer demonstrations are basically a display of Jat supremacy.
I think I have mentioned it before, during a visit to Punjab a few years ago, I asked a Jat farmer "Does it not bother you that the poor are converting to xtianity" his reply was "why should we care, they still have to work on our land"
And while working on their land it is the low caste Sikhs who are the victims of:
[*]Drug problem in youth - Because they have a sense of hopelessness, in some cases the Jat farmers provide the drugs to develop a dependency and exploit their labour and time.
[*]Falling water table in Punjab - the low castes are unduly affected, the Jats can and do, make sure they have enough, hang everyone else.
[*]High incidence of cancer (probably due to indiscriminate use of low cost pesticides and fertilizers) - again this affects the low caste farm labourers, they are the ones who physically spray the chemicals, they never have protection.
[*]RoLers preying on Sikh heathen - it is the lower caste Sikhs converting
[*]Disinterest of youth in tending farmlands - why should they, they could go to another part of India or the mideast or to Europe and be farm labourers, they would be treated better and get paid more.
This is a actually a huge opportunity for the Center, they could announce that instead of loan waiver and MSP they are going to spend that money setting up Skill training centers and Industrial Training Institutes for the SC community, just think of the votes !!
On my last visit to Punjab, my cousins told me that the jats are always trying to steal the land of any non-Jat.
A perfect opportunity for change in Punjab. These idiots carry on with the same backward caste supremacy in Canada, USA/UK/everywhere.
"The person was predictably silent but replied after 3 days that most of the above were due to machinations of Hindus and decades of conspiracy."
they sit around in the Gurudwara, and I know this from personal experience and it is the elders who are ignorant, caste conscious and feudal who fill the minds of the young, I know this from personal experience.
"I stopped talking to that person after that." I personally would keep on talking, sometimes you can get through tp people and make them think
