By Ravindra Sheoran, New Delhi, Aug.20 : The turmoil in Afghanistan may have compelled a large number of Sikh families to flee their motherland, and now a majority of those living in India are seeking a new life here, and hope that the Indian Government will come forward to resurrect their lives in some way.
Harinder Singh was once a prosperous cloth merchant in Kabul, but had to flee Afghanistan because of the turbulence there. He came to India with high hopes.
Harinder took to selling green almonds, as this was fruit was very popular among Afghans, and he thought it would attract the same kind of clientele in India. He, however, finds it tough to earn a successful living with his two sons and wife.

they had good life, good buisnesess, good houses, they were spared from military service. there were some attitude against them in the minds of ppl, but still they were doing ok in the society. we should exclude the taliban time because no was safe from the hands of those uneducated bunch of ppl.i think poor hazaras and uzbeks were treated worse than anyone else.
