I think that the manipulation of dalip singh by the english was very sad. But this should not come as a surprise because thats how the western world controlled the eastern or even any other land they entered during those times. First they convert the kings and then the rest of the public follows. And usually the religion of the king is the religion of the public. Well we can't really feel so bad about it because thats the hukam of Waheguru. Everything falls under his hukam so I really have no right to say that what happened was wrong.
Re: the British taking our jewels. Uhh the last time I checked gurbani, we were suppose to stray away from maya! And if we still feel sour about the english taking our 'jewels' then really we want that maya back. I mean if they had stolen some important scriptures (as was done during the 1984 attack on the Harmandar sahib), then we should have reasons to cuss at them but jewels...not worth it! Hope I didn't offend anyone.
Gur fateh.
