#2 Oh, don't be messin' with Sikhs. Unlike Hindus or Moslems, Sikhs don't push first, but damn do they push back when pushed. They are a close thing to being a religion so militant that it is almost military, which is why they are generally very good soldiers in whatever army they serve. In a way, they are like a non-commissioned officer religion, and are generally middle class entrepreneurs and small businessmen. In this case, I doubt that the young Sikh woman playwrite is as admired as they would suggest, and probably despises her background and religion.

#4 3rd toughest hombres I've ever met in all my "travels" were Sikhs, serving in "unconventional" role becasue of the terrirtory - basically dont get Sikhs pissed.

US Navy SEALs come in second (sorry my Army Ranger brothers).

#1? Those leather tough little brown killing machines called Gurkhas. Smart, skilled and dedicated warriors. 5 ft nuthin and about a buck fifty in weight, never saw a "fat" one ever. And no fear at all. Particular ones were Chetri Sen. But no doubts they were all that tough.
