There are some points that I disagree with, especially how he approaches them, but one thing is evident his passion and pain comes through his words.

However, in all I think it was an extremely good read and I would urge other Sikhs to read it as well and form their own opinions.
I'm not comfortable rating this personally, since it's not a book, but rather a personal essay
