| How many of our Sikh mothers, daughters, sisters have experienced this? The dress is different; the feelings are the same. |
Last night, looking for something entirely different, I came upon this discussion about the Bahrain military's attack on its own citizens peacefully protesting from the Flickr group, Global Photojournalism; Politics, News, Protest, and Culture.
The pictures and discussion of Bahrain can be found here.
We Sikhs have had a lot of experience of this in "India" and so we can understand what these Bahrainis are going through. Let's send them our prayers and comfort. At this point, I don't know what more we can do.
What follows is from Ghadeer Shamlan, a young woman, age 18, a law student from Bahrain, obviously a person of great courage. I hope thesepictures and reports helps to make the situation real to you. These are real live (and dead) human beings and they need and deserve our compassion and concern.

she added it was really terrorism dead bodies and parts were everywhere on the ground , they throw some people over the bridge and drive there cars "police cars" over them, also they took injured people and bodies "alive" in closed fridges to unknown place. It was like a real war she added !!
