I'm actually astonished I'd never learned this before.

    My family is Sikh, and this warms my heart: comrade Udam fights against the stereotype of Punjabi cops/landlords/chuds. 🙏🏽

      If it makes you feel better, that's not my stereotype of Sikhs. I tend to think of them as pretty cool folks, who feed the needy. But there's few Sikhs near me (rural Midwest), my main exposure has been hearing of their temples feeding lots of people.

        Thanks! The Sikh religion is pretty cool as far as they go and I have a soft spot for the North American diaspora. Strange that Sikh Sardars tend to be Chuds within the context of India’s modern class system. Not to mention they policed Britain’s east asia colonies.

          Oh, I didn't know that about policing the East Asia colonies, although it makes sense given their position within the Empire. I love learning new stuff like that :)
