Probably not saying anything new here, but anyway.. Don't count on the Western media to
-talk about the historic connection between Hinduism and Sikhism, and mention that all 10 Sikh gurus were born Hindus
- spotlight articulate Sikhs who are against Khalistan
- give blow by blow accounts of terror in Punjab like they do for N.Ireland, Israel or anything involving the US
- provide examples of any country that has faced anywhere near what India has, and dealt with it in a much more englightened way
- to mention that whatever the rights and wrongs of the Israel-Palestinian conflict, Punjab does not fall into that category, since it is not at all about colonisation and dispossession( i'm not criticising Israel here) which is the reason/excuse given for Palestinian militancy
-contrast Punjab( or Kashmir) with Tibet, and openly wonder why militancy doesn't exist at all in Tibet, despite everything the Tibetans have experienced. Which even by their own( and Indian left-lib) claims about the origins/reasons for separatism and militancy in Punjab/Kashmir, should lead to 10 times the amount of violence in Tibet!
-display empathy for India as a pluralistic democracy, that deserves a large degree of support
-openly speculate as to what their own governments would do, if they had a Punjab or Kashmir on their hands
