  1. Try to tell this yourself whenever you have the urge to do something bad: is this activity that I'm gonna do now bring me closer to guru sahib? Can I stop and sacrifice a bad activity just for my guru? Baki do ardaas to guru sahib everyday and don't feel guilty for too long! Guilt is there to make you realise your mistake. Everytime you feel guilt, it's guru sahib trying to pull you back.

  4. This history seems true. It's not a new discovery, and this Zorowar Singh palit has a history and legacy in Bassi Pathaan that people there still acknowledge. Info has been out about Zorowar Singh Palit since the late 60s at least, when Ganda Singh put out Sri Gursobha. That people here haven't heard of him here says more about their own piss poor study of history than anything else. Plus this figure being from a tarkhan background would have motivated the usual jut casteists to jealously try and bury his memory, so that probably played a big part in his occlusion and hence so much ignorance about him. I'm not too familiar with Uhdoke, what makes you say the above about him?

  6. Does not matter. Those mere 400 job loss out of millions of population is peanuts. Anyway, those are most probably out-of-state folks. Advice you not to go to such B grade news website..

  9. Could also be that other states aren't as backwards as Panjab right now, and actually help facilitate progress in areas they need, instead of the crabs in a bucket mentality we have. Also once you get people to set things up, you can sod them off - not like it hasn't been done loads of times before.

  12. I was recently reading this account of Sikh conflicts during Sikh raj, and this one fundamentalist 'Syed' who'd kept instigating jeehads against the Sikhs (in NWFP area). Anyway, he was thorn in the Sikh side and they had to continually send forces to quell his 'rebellions'. In the end they quashed him. And do you know what the Sikhs did afterwards: They located his body on the field and then burnt it.

  14. They know what they're getting themselves into. They aren't children. In most cases, this period of their life becomes a "war story" of sorts they look back on and chuckle about amongst themselves in private. Empathy should be reserved for those with similar values. Most of these people are sociopaths who wouldn't urinate on any of us if we were on fire. I had the misfortune of working with these exact brand of Sikhs for 18 months a few years back when I was getting back on my feet, and I promise you they possess ZERO of the sentimentality that we pampered, gullible, and out-of-touch Westerners show when confronted with these stories. Also, after working with these folks and seeing them up-close and personally, I finally worked out why foreign powers were able to conquer and subjugate our lands and people for centuries. It's because of these people. It's not an exaggeration to say there is something traitorous in our makeup as a group. I remember thinking what I was seeing on the factory floor was most likely very close to what invading armies and personnel would be confronted with when entering our lands; cowardly, double-crossing devils all-too eager to sell out their own people for personal advancement and perks. Microcosm > Macrocosm.

  15. Sikh martial art 'Gatka' earning sport status A govt official goes all-out to get Gatka the recognition it deserves, at home and abroad, writes Harpreet Bajwa https://www.newindianexpress.com/thesundaystandard/2021/aug/01/sikh-martial-art-gatka-earning-sport-status-2338347.html 01st August 2021 09:47 AM | Last Updated: 01st August 2021 09:47 AM | A+A A- The NGAI headed by Harjeet Singh Grewal has been holding National Gatka Championship every year and is now planning to hold the first Asian Gatka championship next year | Express By Harpreet Bajwa PUNJAB: The traditional Sikh martial art sport Gatka is in revival mode. Harjeet Singh Grewal, Joint Director in Public Relations Department of Punjab government, is the man behind the mission. The Union Sports Ministry has included Gatka in the coming Khelo India Youth Games in February next year. The Asian Gatka Federation and the National Gatka Association of India (NGAI), of which Grewal is the president, are planning to hold the first Asian Gatka championship next year. The NGAI has been holding national championships every year and this year, it will be the ninth edition. “Gatka is being played in more than 16 states (Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh, among others) and associations have already been formed in these states,” he said. Besides India, it is also being played in more than two dozen countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, France, Italy, Belgium, Dubai, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nepal, Denmark and Germany,” he said. Grewal, 52, was a boxing player in his college days. He was seriously injured in a road accident in 1990, rendering him physically disabled. “It’s my humble effort to revive this forgotten ancient martial art. In collaboration with WGF, the NGAI has compiled its third edition of international gatka rulebook to play it as a systematic game,” he said. Whenever Grewal saw Gatka being played by the Nihangs as a display of martial art during Hola Mahalla, he’d think why not promote the traditional art as a full-fledged sport. The NGAI came up in 2004. “In 2007, I compiled a new rulebook of the game as the old one was made in 1936 — The Art of Gatka Fighting by KS Akali — which cost Re 1 at that time.” He seeks the cooperation of all Sikhs across the globe to make Gatka a recognised sport. “Only two decades ago, it appeared as a gigantic task. But with the support of the Sikh community this task can surely be completed successfully soon,” said Grewal. “We have many ‘akharas’ (training centres) promoting Gatka within and outside the country where budding players learn the sport. In each district of Punjab, there are at least 30 such ‘akharas’,” he says. Grewal says his organisation is planning to put up digital scoreboards and bout replay facility for video umpires. Wooden Gatka sticks are being replaced with fiber sticks embedded with sensors and microchips for quick scoring and calculating fouls. More safety equipment such as face, chest and shoulder guards and shin protectors are introduced. To put in place an effective mechanism to identify and nurture Gatka sporting talent, the NGAI and ISMAC will set up an residential institute in SAS Nagar, says Grewal. A documentary film is under production and animation films on the Sikh martial art will also be produced to showcase its historical importance. Grewal also promotes football among Sikh players. He holds the Sikh Football Cup (SFC) in Punjab and heads the Khalsa Football Club (Khalsa FC), which is affiliated with All India Football Federation. In SFC, only Keshadhari (Sikhs with unshorn hair and beards) football teams from all districts compete as the Khalsa FC is aiming to promote Sikh players for retaining their identity as Keshadhari in all sports. What Grewal has achieved Punjab govt included Gatka in its state gradation list in 2015 and the players can avail benefits under the 3% sports quota in govt jobs and in admissions to all professional and academic institutions The School Games Federation of India included Gatka as a sport in the 56th National School Games calendar in 2011-12 Punjab School Education Board awards 25 and 15 marks in total marks of Class XII students who bring laurels in the national and state competitions Punjab govt recognised Gatka as a sport in its schools, colleges and universities in 2009 and has been organising Inter-District Gatka tournaments since then Punjabi University, Patiala, has organised All India Inter-University Gatka (men & women) prize money tournaments four times since 2011 Association of Indian Universities included Gatka in 75th National University Sports calendar in 2015-16

  16. Yes another shutdown of businesses in Punjab. It seems to be a deliberate ploy to bring Punjab down further. Strategy to force communism perhaps?

  17. Great question friend. Someone else will have to finish the answer. Make an account and stay. I'd say the frequency with which they occur in your area probably will determine if waiting or asking is appropriate. Combined with any pressing time contraint you may be under which hopefully you aren't. Like health.

  18. Never elevate anyone onto a pedestal, because you'll invariably be disappointed somewhere down the line. As for this young lady she should be cut some slack. She's young, she's learning, making mistakes like we all do. Hers just happened to be in the public eye.
