Sikhi has seen many challenges and always come out stronger. Negativity is not going to effect Sikhi.It is the so called Sikhs who are wavering in their faith who are confused and negative. Had they known of our glorious history and heritage they wouldn't have this confusion.
I do understand your perspective, brother. However I do think a bit of forward planning and contemplation wouldn't go amiss, for as you know, Sikhi is also about practicality. For whilst having iron-clad belief in the Almighty and His ability to bestow His grace on us is undoubtedly a cornerstone of our faith, there have also been countless instances in our history where individuals have, for want of a better phrase, not sat around waiting for events to fall into place, or waited for a divine hand to direct proceedings. Yes, without a doubt, nothing is beyond His control and reach, but WE mortals are required to act in those situations which require Waheguru to work through us to effect change. Waiting for God to "show his hand" in situations that don't require direct heavenly intervention, i.e. situations in which Man can easily bring about change through determination and nous - no matter what the odds - is tantamount to showing the very lack of faith you decry. Burying our heads in the sand and believing the old mantra of "it'll be alright on the night" is, as I said, a very dangerous game to play. If recent Sikh history has proven anything, we are sadly not always blessed with victory.

I meant millennia not millenniums, sorry.

I'd hardly call such insightful analysis "nit picking." It may prove to be uncomfortable reading for some, but if Sikhi is to be relevant as the decades and millenniums progress, then such introspection is needed. Dismissing such concerns in such an off-hand manner without even attempting to address any of those issues highlighted is incredibly dangerous.It is just a rant from a negative person.
instead of looking at the greatness of our religion he is just nit picking.

Fair questions, the answers to which I find myself pondering on a daily basis. Personally speaking I think the root of most, if not all, of the issues highlighted is lack of relevant parchaar that truly gets to the core of what it is to be human, and how Sikhi can be applied in practical situations so that it makes us better human beings. The answers are available in Sikhi without a doubt, and i may be biased but i think it is a stunningly beautiful path that we find ourselves on. However, somehow change is needed to reach out to people who may have been left behind (even our so-called "own") in this world which has changed so drastically and so hurriedly.
I have a few questions of my own which i'd add to the list in the original post: Have we become, inadvertently, just another organised religion of the type Guru Nanak Paatshah questioned and exposed with such clarity and reasoning (BTW, not a criticism of scriptures, which are perfect IMO, but more to do with day-to-day application of the faith)? Is it inevitable, with the passage of time, that the core message of any philosophy is dulled and diluted? In that case what needs to be done to reverse this trend?

Thanks for this. Very informative. More like this for other important historical moments in Sikh history.
