Why every few years someone in the garb Sikhi rakes up an unnecessary issue and creates ruffles in the panthic circles? It was Kala Afghana some years ago, followed by Spokesman and Now Ragi Darshan Singh. Bhai Sahib analysis the modus operandi of these individuals; how they play with the emotions of a lay Sikh and try to cash on that. From Kala Afghana to Ragi, the aim is to create confusion on the banee, bana and traditions of the Khalsa. They start by attacking the Dasam Banee, but end up questioning everything that has been part and parcel of the Khalsa institution.

http://patshahi10.or...views&Itemid=65 What are the charges against Ragi? Has the Ragi got it right? Why only a small clipping from Ragi's keertan shown on the TV? Has Dr. Jodh Singh mentioned anything foul in his translation which Ragi is claiming? After the expose of Ragi Darshan Singh on JUS Punjabi TV, he and his supporters, in a desperate attempt to exonerate Ragi's name, have engaged in a series of dirty propaganda. Sometimes crying foul on the way clippings from Ragi's keertan were shown and sometimes blaming Professor of Sikhism, Dr. Jodh Singh's translation of Charitropakhyan. Earlier, in a written statement, Dr Jodh Singh had rebutted Ragi's claims calling them a blatant lie. Dr. Jodh Singh alongwith Harwinder Singh Riar and Gurcharanjit Singh Lamba, who had also interviewed Ragi on JUS Punjabi TV, appear together and clear some doubts propagated by the Ragi. In a discourse showing pure intellectual scholarship Dr. Jodh Singh explains 'Charitropakhyan'. He educates on the types of literature and its intricacies, and how some people lack basic intellect to decipher those intricacies of literature and hence get confused and cause confusion.

Crossing all limits of blasphemy controversial ragi Prof Darshan Singh concocts a fictitious story and uses derogatory language for Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib and his personality. Darshan Singh says "Guru Sahib went to a prostitute and the prostitute tried to lure him. Guru Sahib thought if he establishes relationship with her then the one who will be born out of that relationship will be called a bastar* and if he doesnt establish a relationship then she will get him beat-up by the public by shouting 'thief thief'....Guru Sahib leaves his slippers and robe and starts running. He is caught by the public who starts beating him up. Someone gets hold of Guru Sahib's beard and someone removes his turban and starts hurling slippers on Guru Sahib's head" No such story with the words used by Darshan Singh appears in any book/scripture of the world!
