The surname Singh normally designates a Sihk, not a ROPer. I’m wondering if they are ROP converts because I did not think this kind of barbarism was condoned by the Sihks.
“Singh” is a common Sikh name, but not exclusively.
I believe this village is Hindu.
I saw a Sikh man walking in the village a couple weeks ago. His wife was walking a full ten paces behind him. Hmmmm,,, I need to know more about fundamentalist Sikhs.
