Is this the language we use for Sikh Heroes?

How can a Sikh use this kind of language while describing the holy Shahids? Is this neo-Gangstar Sikhism what we wish to portray to the world, and the youth? If a non-Sikh had written this, what would be the response?

I’ve already shared one Badass with everyone, now it’s time to drop another.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that the majority of my readers aren’t exactly experts on Indian history, so it’s probably a safe assumption that you’re not familiar with the story of the Sikh martyr Baba Deep Singh. Well, it’s time to get educated — because this dude is one of the most hardcore freedom fighters to ever live, and a guy so extreme balls-out in his insatiable quest for vengeance that something as inconsequentially-trivial as being fucking decapitated couldn’t stop him from crushing his enemies to death with his nutsack.
