wow that tweet is seriously sikhphobic, it's sikhiphobia

it's dangerous to translate dharm as religion, this is what was done in colonial times. First we need to understand the real meaning of dharm. The fact that many sikhs follow sikhi like a religion like a gora or arab would, instead of being dharmik, is something that is destroying us. The fact that Dasam Granth is not available or visible in post Singh Sabha gurdwaras is also bring down our izzat, annakh and dharam as well as the martial side of what is meant to be the Khalsa dharm. The fact that instead harmonium is instead put next to Adi Guru Granth Sahib is a bit shocking (yet we criticise Dasam Granth being near Adi Guru Granth), especially after what Akali Phoola Singh said when people tried to bring harmonium into Harmandir Sahib, even though now that is what is used!

I saw a blog which disagrees with Manvir Singh's "activities", how do we deal with this? lol I think it was the same blog which found the nervous indian guy

Pleanty of punjabi or "sikh" girls on instagram, facebook and twitter showing off wearing izzat-less clothes and some are smoking sheesha/hookah. also in many pics they are probably drunk. proper pub-club mentality. Seriously, even after coming out of the pend these families are still village <banned word filter activated> penduus. How do you get these people to learn any sikh teachings? They just stamp their head in their gurdwara and don't learn anything. need some kind of revolution to wake up the village idiots' children and grandchildren. (wait that word for stupid is banned? it's not even a swear word, even kids shows use that word lol)

well yeah (besides your very colonial of way describing dharmic panths as religions, and as if the term hinduism even existed before the goras created it in British India), our ancestors saw sikhi as a panth that follows dharma. But also something more, especially with the Guru jis and their teachings.

and that is why they should just keep the name basics of sikhi instead of Advanced sikhi

However that other thread is not specific to one issues, so is a bit generalised. What I don't understand from this article is after taking amrit, would the "Singhs" still follow maryada, especially as they couldn't describe any sikh tenets?
