I was watching a lecture by Dr. Kamalroop Singh Ji Nihang and noticed something interesting. He mentions that the British attacked Sri Akal Takht during their raj. This was at the 9:20 mark. He mentions this as being Mazhabi ithaas as it was these Sikhs who became shaheed. If anyone has information on this event please post.

This is an early piece by the author: ਕਲਦਾਰ ਰੂਪ ਢਿੱਲੋਂ ਸਥਾਨ ਨਵੇਂ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦਾ ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਰਣਜੀਤਪੁਰ ਸੀ। ਸ਼ਹਿਰ ਵਿਚ ਹਰ ਦੋ ਬੰਦਿਆਂ ਲਈ ਇੱਕ ਕਲਦਾਰ ਸੀ। ਪੁਲਸ ਵਿਚ ਹਰੇਕ ਸਿਪਾਹੀ ਲਈ ਤਿੰਨ ਕਲਦਾਰੀ ਸਿਪਾਹੀ ਸਨ। ਪਹਿਲੀ ਆਵਾਜ਼ ਕਈ ਲੋਕ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕਲਦਾਰ ਸੱਦਦੇ ਨੇ। ਕਈ ਕਲਦਾਸ ਆਖਦੇ ਹਨ। ਮੈਂ ਮਸ਼ੀਨ ਹਾਂ ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਸਭ ਨੌਕਰ ਸਮਝਦੇ। ਆਮ ਮਸ਼ੀਨ ਨਹੀਂ ਹਾਂ। ਆਦਮੀ ਵਾਂਗ ਮੈਂ ਚੱਲਦਾ ਫਿਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ। ਜਦ ਇਨਸਾਨ ਨੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਮਕਸਦ ਇੱਕ ਹੀ ਸੀ। ਇਨਸਾਨ ਮਜ਼ਦੂਰੀ ਦਾ ਕੰਮ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੇ ਸਨ। ਲੋਕ ਮੌਜ-ਮਸਤੀਆਂ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੇ ਸਨ। ਮਾਲਿਕਾਂ ਨੇ ਪੈਸੇ ਬਚਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਬੰਦਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਥਾਂ ਕਲਦਾਰਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਰੱਖ ਲਿਆ। ਮਸ਼ੀਨਾਂ ਹੁਣ ਓਹ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਦੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਇੱਕ ਸਮੇਂ ਬੰਦੇ ਕਰਦੇ ਸਨ। ਪਹਿਲੀਆਂ ਮਸ਼ੀਨਾਂ ਔਖੇ ਕੰਮਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸੌਖਾ ਬਣਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਵਰਤੀਆਂ ਗਈਆਂ। ਹੌਲੀ ਹੌਲੀ ਕਾਰਖ਼…

Guru Nanak is aupposed to have said > “I have seen the light of Muhammad (with my mind's eye). I have seen > the prophet and the messenger of God, in other words, I have > understood his message or imbibed his spirit. After contemplating the > glory of God, my ego was completely eliminated.” But there are two things that Muslims believe in 1. Prophet Muhammad being the last prophet. 2. No reincarnation. Sikhs believe that Guru Nanak was a prophet and they also believe in reincarnation. But Sikhs also believe that Prophet Muhammad was sent by God. If Muhammad was sent by God to spread tr…

In 1846 C.E., when they had defeated the Sikh nation of Punjab, the officers of the British East India company found themselves in charge of a vast tract of land inhabited by a proud people with a history of surviving political and religious oppression. The Khalsa Sikhs, the order of "saint-soldiers" founded by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699 had weathered Mughal oppression and rebounded from two ghallugharas, or "holocausts" (1746 and 1762). When the Sikh confederacy was joined together by Maharaja Ranjeet Singh in 1801, it governed a domain the size of France. The Punjab was the last part of the Indian subcontinent to fall to the British, and two short years later, the Khalsa…

Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then. -
Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
