It will also be pertinent for Hillary Clinton to ask the Sikh Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the Opposition leader Lal Krishan Advani as to why they opposed the visit of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom scheduled to begin on June 12 this year. Hillary Clinton must ask what happened in Kandhamal in Orissa, what happened in Narendra Modi’s Gujarat and why do Sikhs continue to be Hindus on the statute? At some point, the political aides of Hillary Clinton need to take up the issue of the proposal of the Indian state to deny minority rights to Sikhs, Christians and even Muslims as proposed in the new definition of who constitutes a minority.

Irrespective of what Hillary Clinton does or does not, the friendship with the Sikhs will stay and we will continue to hope that one day, like your intervention in Sri Lanka, you will actively seek “reconciliation for Sikhs” in India and work more legally and politically to ensure that Sikhs are not officially and otherwise subjected to racial abuse and stress anywhere in the United States of America.
