Rejected petition A change in law from Indian government where Sikh marriages are declared legal
Sikhs as a general population, particularly in India; panjab, have been victims of inhumane treatment, murdered viciously and have been victims of what has been referred to as a 'Sikh genocide'. Why, you ask? For wanting their right to declare Sikhism as a independent religion and obtain freedom.
More details
Look for yourselves. Go online and type 'Sikh genocide' and see what comes up. The information is there for you only if you take the time to read and learn. Thank you to all my fellow Sikhs for signing this petition. Let's be recognised as Sikhs and not as a sect of Hinduism, as current Indian law states.
