Anz | 8 years ago | Reply @Black Hawk: I too am an Indian and also a Sikh. What atrocities are these Pakistanis talking about? My advice to all of Pakistan is to just take baby steps to recovery. The first step, Stop spreading lies. The second step, Start speaking truth. The monster of terrorism will come later. Cheers.
