LEGEND OF DANNI RAM

Artsy movie by North Indian Upper Caste Indian Muslim movie director Imtiaz Ali on elitist Netflix movie platform has suddenly brought 80's Indian Punjab's Chamar/Ravidassia Punjabi Dalit legendary singer DANNI RAM (from same caste as KANSHI RAM) into focus. Image
Does the movie do justice to DANNI RAM ?

Movie is Imtiaz Ali's sanitized Upper Caste Muslim take on life of Punjabi Dalit singer/lyricist DANNI RAM aka Amar Singh Chamkila, which largely absolves & white washes Indian Punjab's powerful Upper Caste & OBC caste Sikh communities. Image
Did CASTE kill DANNI RAM in religious society of Punjabi Sikhs of Indian Punjab that claims to follow a faith (Sikhi/Sikhism) that is supposed to be caste neutral?

Answer to this question is YES, but it is not exactly same as many non-Punjabi anti caste activists think it to be. Image

All three Jat/Jutt Sikhs

If Jat/Jutt Sikhs and KHALISTAN are an "inseparable", then why are young Jat/Jutt Sikhs of Indian Punjab state wining Gold Medals and sporting accolades for India ?

Can Canada based Khalistani Jutt/Jat Sikhs on payrolls of Pakistan's ISI answer please. Image
Calling off bluff of Canada based Khalistani separatists, who constitute miniscule minority of Jutt Sikhs, who have created "Khalistan nuisance" for entire Sikh community, younger generation of Jutt Sikhs of Punjab are wining accolades for India at international sporting events. Image
Jutt/Jat Sikhs, often stereotyped as ardent supporters of Sikh supremacist theological autocratic independent country of "Khalistan" are actually not that enthusiastic supporters of Khalistan as they are made out to be. These young Jutt Sikh sportsmen are testimony of that. Image
