What a rare pleasure to speak about the much neglected "Sikh Misls" . Stretching from 1710s to 1799, after which Ranjit Singh took over till 1849, this 150-year period of Sikh Rule is longer then the 77-year existence of post-independent India and newly created Pakistan !

For all those who continue to claim that the Mahatma did everything in his power to to have Bhagat Singh released, forget not that three days after the Execution, he was greeted with black flags and black flowers at the Karachi Congress 1931

There was almost a riot three days after Bhagat Singh's Execution against Gandhi on 26th March 1931, averted only by the quick action of the police, by the 'Red Shirts' who blamed the Mahatma for not doing enough to save the three condemned in Lahore.

Black Flag demonstration against Gandhi for his failure to stop Bhagat Singh's execution clearly visible in the background, at the Karachi Congress 1931: "if the boys are to be hanged let them be hanged before the Karachi Congress" Gandhi told Irwin
