Death is not a solution for the small girl. Just because the society will ill treat her, she should die? She does not even know what has happened to her and what the meaning of "rape." She has a whole life with her. I can understand that people prefer to die rather than live in such situations but if prayers do work, I will pray that she lives a peaceful life as she deserves it. Death is only for those who have committed a sin.

The only hope for her is a life in the Western world. If some EU nation or the United States grant her asylum status, then she might be able to live a peaceful life. If that does not happen, then I am pessimistic.

Sikhs are having a long history of bloodshed and warfare, most of it against the Muslims. To their credit, they were the ones who stopped the complete Islamization of Punjab.

To the best of my knowledge, they saved the hindus from forced conversion to islam

That is a popular myth. Why convert to another religion when you have to save your original religion (Hinduism)? Sikhism evolved as an independent sect within the Hinduism. The divide between mainstream Hinduism and Sikhism was artificially created after the mid-20th century, to serve some vested interests. Earlier, Sikh gurudwaras used to contain sections for Hindu idols. These idols were removed, after radical anti-Hindu Sikhs succeeded in controlling the Akhal Takht.

Originally, Sikhism was just a Hindu sect, just like the Swaminarayans (BAPS) or the Hare Krishna (ISKCON).
