Ironically, Pakistan's military/ISI deliberately created Taliban in a superficial mold of Sikhs by including the turban as a head-dress for them, because Pakistan's Punjabi-dominated military/ISI perceived Sikhs as having been the only military force in history to have successfully marched on Kabul from the south. Thus, Sikhs living in the West have born the brunt of local backlash against 9-11 and the Afghan conflict, in no small part due to the machination Pakistan - and yet ironically this has indirectly resulted in many Sikhs then developing sympathy for Islamists, perceiving them as fellow "victims of discrimination" at the hands of Westerners. This may be an unintended benefit Pakistan has reaped for itself, but it's nonetheless an example of the consequences of triangularization of a conflict by dragging another group into the fray.sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11939342428337531046noreply@blogger.com
