We are the survivors of islamic punjab, before partition hindu's became minority in punjab to the expanding islamic empire in india. The islamic influnece was coming from the north west so we were one of the first to be hit with invaders. THere muslim strong hold and was in Punjab neighbouring the ruthless pathans who used to peaceful buddhists at one point! Hindu's were becoming muslims in order to survive, however some hindu's were also becoming Sikhs in order to fight against the muslims. THe actual hindu population became so low that they were not even in majority of a single district in punjab. HIndu's are warriors they were almost wiped out of punjab, its only after partition that you see back there. My grandfather told me that more than 60% of punjab fell to muslims that is why he had to learn urdu in school and around 33% were sikhs thats why we couldn't have our own state since we did not form a majority in Punjab.

Secondly the muslims commited genocide on the sikhs during guru gobind singhs time, and we hardly formed even 5% of punjab at that time. How could you expect us to take over??? Afterwards as our numbers grew to 20% of Punjab we took over!!!

Gourkha's live in the east plus they live in the mountains they are no threat to the afghans unless the afghans start going up those mountains which would be very difficult. They probably didn't want to fight the Gourkhas cause there is know point in wasting there lives for no good reason, there was a good reason to fight the British and there was a good reason for them to fight us. We have a lot of experience fighting Afghans and we have long history of it too, we hate each other with a passion.

Also Arrowguns some of us are born with bravery written in our blood, the Sikhs come from warrior races such as the Jatts the Rajputs and Khattries. In case you don;t you know, The Sikhs are traditionally martial in spirit, fiercely proud and carry a long history of lineage and tradition. Traditionally, Sikhism patriotism is legendary, an ideal they embodied with a fanatical zeal. Sikh warriors were often known to fight untill the last man. There is no such thing as a cowardly sikh yaar, if he is a coward he can no longer be a sikh he must be a hindu!!!
