Amazing ehibition, did not attend any talks. But the stuff on dispay WOW.

I was looking at old historical census of punjab from 1857 all the way up to1947. The interesting thing is that under British Rule the number of people identifing themselves as sikhs grew more than 5 fold from the period of 1857 to 1947. So did the British have a positive impact on sikhi?

Don't you think Maharaj Ranjeet Singhs Battle standard (i.e. flag) would be a fitting flag for Khalistan? As it's the only real flag to have been flown under a sikh empire ever. Lets show the world were back. Does anyone know what it looked like?

Bro this is how the process normally works, take this as a model way to reply, you ask a question I answer, if it’s a valid question. Most of yours aren’t, but I will help you anyway. Here's the answers to your questions: 1) Where does the OP ask about shastar vidiya? Answer 1) He asked about three martial arts. I done wing chun for a long time, Silat I learnt was not pure it was in combination with JKD and eagle claw I said I beaten up two of hari singh students, I still stand by that. Shartar vidya last time I checked was a martial art, and is taught in Birmingham. So it does not take a genius to see why I mentioned it . Also there are number of singhs from Aston Uni, where the op is at, that come to the Akara. So he could also train outside of normal akara times. Simple logic Lets look at your generic advice, "Go visit each teacher, attend a few lessons, and pick the one you enjoy the most. At the end of the day, if you do not enjoy your art, you will give up training. ". Thats good advice, a bit like telling person to suck eggs, no value i.e. obvious Where did you get that Iron hand BS about WC? (Thats a question? lol They condition there hands but not to the extent of Iron hand people. You might as well have copied & pasted from wiki, it would have been better lol) 2) "Your writing style is the same, your claims about your training are the same, you even made another account in the name shah when "maharaj" has acknowledged his name as being Arjuna Shah, lol." Don't know what the lol is for are you going mad? (Don't answer, it's a rhetorical question) Answer 2) Thank you for saying the claims about my training are the same. Because that’s the truth. Yes I had setup a number of accounts. Maharaj was my first and only one. But got blocked. (please see my answer to question three) 3) "You've clearly joined the forum with multiple accounts to advertise your master. This kind of deception is one of the examples of cult-like behaviour from nidar's chelay that I am talking about. It's also incredibly disrespectful to the members of this forum who have seen fit to put you on quality control for your previous posts." Answer 3) Is that why I could not post as maharaj because I'm on quality control, I wish someone told me early. It was a real pain setting up the other accounts. Thank you. If I have disrespected any one by this behaviour I'm sorry. However, you know I'm based in Ilford, come down by the way my name is Arjun Shah. Two question here "cult-like behaviour from nidar's chelay" and "advertise your master". Let me tell you I will be posing other stuff apart from martial arts. For example, Why did the number of singhs increase by more than three fold under British rule? What did Maharaj ranjeet singhs battle standard look like? You said multiple account show a cult like behaviour, which I already explained , that I did not know I was on quality control. Also Niddar Singh does not need advertising, he been in the Times Newspaper (online), taught in Germany, and US. So you really think me harping on about shastar vidya will help him. Your a bit naive. There was a time that efforts were being made to show you the great martial traditions of our North Indian culture. However the saying about the toad in the whole applies to people just like you. Also the saying about the a dog but can't remember it. lol Now shastar vidya is being demonstrated to other true martial artists, with great success. So in comparison to what your opinion stands on shastar vidya, doe not merit a response. Check out Pat O'mally JKD, Kali and Silat grandmaster. He also teaches US law enforcement. If you really want to look at cult behaviour go to any Gatka akara, slowly brainwashing the kids into taking Amrit and then marching for khalistan. lol 4) Niddar may have a useful art albeit likely made up - if it is such an ancient art, why did he change its name several times after he put up his website? Answer 4) I'm guessing you referring to, Chatka Gatka. There was a saying coined by our grandfather Gurudev (sorry can't remember all the saying), "Chaka is Gatka, Gatka is Chatka". Do you get it? (Think hard) lol Also you might be think of: shastar vidya, sanatan shastar vidya, sanatan hindu sikh shastar vidya. Word hindu was added to scare people like you away. The use of sikh and hindu are ment for simple people as yourself to overly describe Sanatan Shastar Vidya. Also it allows gora to easily identify it as india art with out watching a demo. 5) kind of disgusting behaviour from his students that will mean that I never attend any of his lessons. Answer 5) What disgusting behaviour? Having multiple account. lol That’s not disgusting, This is disgusting: A person joins this forum, states clearly his name and location. List his whole martial arts bio. Shows evidence of world class martial artist rating shastar vidya, these are martial artist with over 30 years training inviting him to come and give seminars. Gives evidence of museums that Niddar Singh has work for. List publications like Times online, Reuters which carried article on shastar vidya. Not to mention Martial Art Illustrated that have written about him on a few occasions. By the way in a few months he will be in combat. Still you say it cannot be substantiated. WOW Nothing wrong with saying Niddar Singh made up the art, or it's Silat or it's that. But what do you base your conclusion on? I ask again what’s your lineage, how long have you trained? Who taught you about sikhi? 6) Nidar's so-called lineage cannot be substantiated and that his website is full of errors or outright lies in an attempt to portray Sikhi as a subset of hinduism. Answer 6) Answered most of this in question 5. Website full of errors, I've seen your other post you will get a response their. To be honest your level is so low. You may consider converting to a middle eastern religion were things tend to be more black and white i.e. one god, one book mentality. It will be easier for you. Tell me if I missed out anything. Now please respond in kind to my following questions: 1) Where did you get the Iron hand training about WC? 2) Shastar Vidya a lie (u used the words albeit likely made up), what do you base your conclusions on? 3) I ask again what’s your lineage? (martial arts) 4) how long have you trained? 5) Who taught you about sikhi? (feel free to ignore question 5, as any question on sikhi is too personal) Waiting for your reply? Please stick to the format question and answer. A true singh does not shy away. Also I'm not demanding as I have no right, but punjabi/indian culuture does teach to offer in kind i,e, As I have done. Unless your to gora.
