Why the backlash is VALID:
Historical Memory: The Akal Takht still considers Bachchan "unexonerated" regarding the 1984 genocide. For many, bowing to him feels like a betrayal of the victims' families.
⚫Guru’s Command:
A Sikh bows only to the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Critics argue that public figures normalizing "Matha Tekna" to humans—especially during Remembrance Month—dilutes our unique identity.
⚫Accountability: As a global icon for Sikhs, many feel Diljit has a duty to represent our collective history and pain, not just entertainment.
When It happened Sikhs started bow down to get funds from unexonerated identities listed by Akal Takhat . Diljit is no more than an idiot these days either he should choose sovereign nature to support Sikhism or his man mukhta to earn money which a Khalsa Can't accept.
Short not : unexonerated" means that a person has not been cleared or forgiven for alleged actions, even if they have not been convicted in a court of law.
