I couldn't even sit down when I was watching that bit. Made me stand up and watch for some reason.

I might have got the name slightly wrong. Read Bhangu's Panth Prakash (vol 2 - Kulwant Singh translation), he was a big informant in the 1700s who would spy on and inform the authorities of the location of Sikhs in the 1700s when they had prices on their heads.

PS - It's on Amazon not Netflix or Metflix (though it should be on Metflix!)

Here's some background to the director, he comes from a Bengali background. He probably got familiar with Shaheed Bhagat Singh when he went for further education (if he wasn't before): Shhojit Sircar was born into a Bengali family in Barrackpore, Kolkata in the Indian state of West Bengal. He completed his schooling from Kendriya Vidyalaya Barrackpore Airforce in the year 1985 and then he went on to Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, University of Delhi for higher studies.[2]

Put aside wearing them today, I just find the fact that the majority of apnay including/especially Amritdharis are in the dark about the shastar/ashtar practices/norms of the very ancestors they try and emulate mind blowing.

Will watch it tomorrow. Like I said earlier I think mukhbari from within is the number one thing that keeps us down. Bhangu also wrote a lot about Chima who was a big informant for mughuls who got so many Sikhs killed.

Personally speaking, I used to think just like you, but now I think rewriting an author's work and presenting it as the original is disgraceful and intellectually dishonest. By all means make comments on the contents in footnotes or explanatory essays and whatnot, and disagree with it wholeheartedly, but to project a piece of work as something it was not seems deviously deceptive. I'd want to know exactly what Rattan Singh Bhangu wrote and make my own opinion. We know that the word 'Hindu' never solely had a 'religious' definition previously, and that it also had a geographical definition i.e. any nonmuslim people living across the river Sindh/Indus(????), if certain people understood this simple thing, they wouldn't have had to go mental and start rewriting a Sikh classic because of some insecurity complex towards anglos. Removing references to rioting and looting was also disgraceful. Obviously done to please colonial patrons and not to encourage or remind Sikhs to act like their ancestors did with the mughuls, lest they started fighting to get their sovereignty back from the white invaders. Bidhia Chand was also obviously 'too gangsta' for Bhai Vir Singh ji...... Also he has issues with the humble (i.e. poor) backgrounds of many of the original Khalsa. I'd trust Bhangu on a lot more things than Bhai Vir Singh, who wrote a lot later, and that too when Panjab was subjugated. Bhangu also came from a line of fighters. But that doesn't mean I agree with everything Bhangu wrote, but I don't need some nanny type to hide the original text from me.

Khadija? Fatimah?

More than that. A Singh was supposed to have panj hathiaars.

Bro, you posted this: And I think you are bang on point. We have loads of male Sikh role models, we really need to bring forth female role models in a way that the modern apnee can relate to. We have many inspiring, brave male Sikh role models for boys, we really need to put a lot more focus on the bibis now, or they'll just end up looking up to Kardasians, or Monica Gill types....and then they are largely lost.

Bro that ain't true. When they raggarh (or crush) the leaves for a protracted period it carboxylates the cannabinoids making them more psychoactive. I find 5 leaves to be just right and doesn't get you buzzing. Obviously people's tolerances vary widely.

It didn't have to be to restore mughuls, they could have did it to re-establish their own sovereignty.

You know that quote of his you posted, if you took that on face value, literally, without having knowledge of his humour and style of writing (and use of hyperbole), one could easily misinterpret. That being said, the very actions of those pendus compared to some heated words of Dickens had infinitely more impact on the history of India and Panjab, and also the current state.

It is. And it's concise too.

What do people make of this?

And you guys should always use a capital letter as well: Sikhi It's a noun, so it's accurate that way too.

That's not historically true. There are a few mentions of people from 'Loodhiana' Sikh regiments trying to persuade pro-anglo Sikh soldiers to desert the goray during the mutiny. But your point in relation to MisterSingh's earlier one is valid. @MisterrSingh How are you sl@gging off Dickens when hordes of our own lot were helping do the very thing you are castigating him for?? Makes no sense? That could also be down to writing in an established style that was the norm for communicating between courts? Strategic too.

It might be that we prune dead branches off first? People that aren't obviously remotely interested in their Sikh heritage and are willing to sell out to outsiders for jobs/positions. Or janania that continue to act like randheean with men of other communities (who obviously hate Sikhs), no matter what you tell them. Maybe it's time we sent these types packing? How many leaves do they use i.e. per person?

I think physical Guru according to Bhai Nand Laal.

My bad! lol

I think this witch knows there may be racist trouble from whites in future (she's supporting and egging it on) and wants to try and make sure people aren't able to defend themselves if attacked by lumpen sections of the indigs.

True. But he did come from a really sh1tty town: Reading. Lol It's still good seeing him pulling up the hollywood elites on their racism and turning a blind eye to harvey weinstain.

Bro, a while ago you asked why those lot in Afghanistan pulled off what they did. A big part of it was a really hardline on gadaar collaborators. That needs to be a big focus for us. That's always been what's let us down in the past.

Humour at its best. Pillorying the elites and privileged.
