It's true and ironic given the Sikh emblem is a throwing blade, on top of a sword, encompassed by two swords.

I know it's all symbolism, but it's objectively funny. At some point some fairly peaceful folks got together and wondered, "What's the best way to symbolize the sovereignty and strength of our people?" And some dude was like, "A sword!"

Everyone agreed this was good, but how do we represent the duality and intertwined aspects of our spirituality, faith, and resolve?

And some dude was like, "A sword facing the opposite direction!"

The level of sheer ignorance here is astounding. Read up on Sikh history instead of googling it and regurgitating the first page of results before you go off spouting nonsense.
