    ......... are you serious?

    Their Panjabi itself has shifted towards Urdu. It's happening on both sides.

    I'm not speaking solely in regards to language, though that would be one notable point. But also of the culture, demographics, and social climate which are influenced by a wide array of factors which then in turn influence language. language can change fairly enough in 70 years.

    If we talk about modern combat. It would require learning how to pie an area, Assembling and disassembling rifles and handguns along with their anatomy and the science of it all, Learning how to move at any needed pace and adjust your aim and focus accordingly, surveilling or clearing any given area, etc. It's a lot. Here in the US, we have former Navy Seals and Marines who run training camps for any interested adult. They teach what they know. You guys should look for something similar in the UK.

    The best way to find out about Dhumma is to talk to recent dissidents and defectors of Mehta, Sangrawan wale, or with Ajnale wale. Otherwise, it's just useless drivel. Dhumma doesn't have character "flaws" or makes mistakes that could be forgiven due to him being human, he's a Gunda and Badmaash. He has not an ounce of human morality with him.

    Harnam Dhumma became more favorable in his eyes as the years went on.

    Porn exists because an overwhelming, near totality of humanity, particularly males, that have access to such content will use it, creating a motive to profit off of it. Humans have kaam, and a sexual drive that can be satisfied by pornography. It's quite simple, really.

    In regards to your point about shooting. A Khalsa would need to accomodate and thoroughly educate him/herself with modern warfare and weaponry, How can you UK wale do that in the UK? You people only have access to airsoft ammo, and I'm not sure what kind of guns, but probably not the kind that are similar to modern weaponry. Being a skilled shooter or gunman (let alone Soldier) isn't just about accurately aiming and pulling a trigger.

    the Singh Sabha saw themselves as Revivalists or those reverting via Reforming.

    Bhai Mani Singh Ji didn't do Padd Chedd (splitting the conjoined words) of Guru Sahib Ji's sarroop, he rearranged the Banis. The Sarroop was probably still Larrivaar.

    The Panjabi language is very diverse in terms of it's dialects. I know of a few pinds were the locals say 'Mai Aanda' instead of 'Mai Kehna'. Places like Sangrur strip their words of all Bindis. Despite all the pressure to kill Panjabi, the Panjabi music and movie industry is probably what's keeping it alive and popular (kuch ta changa kita). A severely threatened dialect as of now is Khalsai Boli or Garr Gaj Bola which is losing speakers rapidly.

    I think it's just some kind of Pahari dialect. I hear what they call 'Potwari' or 'Bhappaya di Upboli' in Delhi, Khanna, Gurgaon, and parts of UP. In the case of Haryanvi, most northern and central Haryanvi speakers are arguably those who reverted to speaking Hindi from their previous Panjabi dialects, they still have certain inflections, style, speech rhythms and accents that are very similar to Panjabi. There are pure breed Panjabi Hindus in the middle of Jalandhar who can't/won't speak Panjabi despite living there all their lives.

    Like I said, Hindi is rather new there. Your Panjab is not the same as our Panjab. There's a significant difference. That could be debatable, there is a siginificant Sikh population in those areas, so it would tilt the scale in our favor. Secondly, most of the Sikhs in UP, Madhya Pradesh, Bikaner, and Delhi should have been kept in those areas to balance the population out and to maintain our status. to Address your points about the dialects, I have spent a lot of life in East Panjab, so I have acquainted myself with many of the dialects there. As for that song, the dialect is very close to the one spoken in Chandigarh, Panchkula, and parts of Patiala. Theth Pawadhi. It even bears resemblence with rural Ludhianvi boli. And It has some Hindi and Pahari influence noticably.

    That's interesting considering the Singh Sabha had a lot of pro-Sri Dasam Granth Sahib individuals (even Bhasaur Singh Sabha did, before it went downhill).
  15. akaltaksal
    That's not entirely true. The northern districts of Haryana and Western districts of Himachal spoke and still do speak some form of Panjabi. Hindi in Ambala, Panchkula, Sirsa, Fatehabad, Jind, Shimla, Una, Solan, Chamba, Western Kangra, Bilaspur, and Kurukshetra is rather new. Hindi was promoted The dialects spoken are more closer to Panjabi than to Hindi. I can go to Kullu and have no difficulty with language there as far as Panjabi is concerned.

    You are aware that the Muslim League threatened the entire Sikh populous of that time, right? Those Turk-Beerjeh had already started attacking Sikhs a whole year prior to Partition. It was in their interest to not only drive the Sikh population out, but ethnically cleanse and purge Panjab of our existence, ensuring they make massive territorial gains. What Master Tara Singh did was what was rational at that time. He drew his sword and so what? The Muslims had already stained their own blades with Sikh and Hindu Blood. There was no other viable option. We were losing our land and homes to these people. You think he should've demanded a Sikh nation? With a disproportionately low Sikh population scattered throughout the districts of Panjab, forming no majority in any of them?

    Master Tara Singh did what he knew was best for the Sikh Kaum at that time. In 1946, a whole year before partition, The Muslim League began attacking Sikhs in Multan, Chakwal, Lahore, and Rawalpindi areas to purge the region of all Sikhs and Hindus, changing the demographic landscape, to minimize or destroy any chance of those areas becoming part of India. Secondly, The Muslims wanted to take Amritsar, Gurdaspur, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur etc along with half of Malwa with them. They began cleansing Lahore, Kasur, Sheikhupura, and Lyalpur purely so that those districts could go to Pakistan. Our forefathers eventually got sick of this and retaliated fiercely. This was all for the sake of our survival as a Kaum. Master Tara Singh did what was best for us that that time. Hindus and Muslims both wouldn't have allowed for an independent Sikh Homeland to form. It was best to side with the lesser threat of that time.

    If one finds it hard to be an amritdhari. Best to be a Sehajdhari instead.

    Punjab digital library has a copy.

    In accordance with Bhai Daya Singh's Rehatnama, there are five colors: saya, safed, Basanti, neel, and Surmaee. So black, white, yellow, blue, and steel-blue/grey.

    When you say close conditioned mind, are you referring to people who do not believe in Raagmala?
