  1. Here's that story about his son and daughter-in-law during the 80s-90s https://www.1984tribute.com/case-of-bapu-shingara-singh/
  2. My grandmother told me he used to visit the house and conversate with my great grandmother. At that time he used to go by his first name, Resham Singh.
  3. I knew Babaji was a Majhail from his dastar and bolie ?. Looked like an OG you wouldn’t want to mess with. I read a little bit more about him and found out he had family members murdered by the Panjab Police in the 80s-90s.
  4. Sant Baba Mani Singh was a Mahapurakh born and raised in Smethwick. My family is from Smethwick and they used to tell me he used to be in bana 24/7. He passed away fairly young. Regarding the Akal Bunga connection, I guess he took inspiration from the puratan name of Akal Takht. I doubt there is any real connection beyond that. He basically restored an old church and turned it into a Gurdwara.
  5. You're 100% right. Sects absolutely destroyed us. Heck, I'm even trying to overcome my own personal biases because of it. Dal Khalsa was one unified unit with a unified group of people, beliefs, marayada etc. It was one of the reason why things like the Sarbat Khalsa and jathedari worked so well in the past. However, as many of us have seen, these things are so difficult to apply in the current Sikh world due to these jatha loyalties.
  6. 100%. Bani dives and explores all the vices that confine us. For some reason, most likely deliberately, these mlecchas think that topics about Kaam are off limits.
  7. Believe what you wanna believe bro. Giania Bunga and their lineage is well established.
  8. Dunno, maybe crack them open and read for them for yourself in order to answer your question. I think it's a pretty reliable source. Baba Sumer Singh Ji, Mahant of Takht Patna Sahib, was part of Giania Bunga whose educational/scholarly institution traces their lineage back to the likes of Bhai Mani Singh all the way to Maharaj themselves. I also believe Mahakavi Santokh Singh Ji belonged to this Bunga.
  9. Found the full picture. Babaji is with his pitaji, Singh Sahib Jathedar Baba Kehar Singh Ji Guru Nanak Dal Tarna Dal.
  10. Singh Sahib Baba Bishan Singh Ji and Singh Sahib Baba Kirtan Singh Ji Misl Shaheedan Tarna Dal Baba Bakala Sahib.
  11. Photo of Giani Gian Singh Ji Nirmale, author of Naveen Panth Prakash. Credit to @ThakurJanHari on Twitter for this gem.
  12. Probably around 4-5 meters. However, at max all you're gonna need to do is tie 4-5 larhs. Once you get the basics you can play around with it and adjust the style to your liking.
  13. Haven't found videos but it's pretty easy. All you need is the full voile material. Here is a video that has similar steps but I'll tell you what things you need to do differently. Tie your joora up and start the video when the Singh begins to tie his yellow material. Okay, here are the different steps you need to do. With his yellow material, this Singh makes a triangle base larh and covers his ears. What you wanna do is go above your ears. Once you do this step, cover the triangle (like he does). This is personal preference, but if you want material to show on the side of your dastar you tie your second larh slightly above (this Singh wants to show the whole material on the side). If you wanna keep it like you see in the frescos, you basically go over your first larh again and cover the triangle. At this stage, you'll have something similar to this, only difference is that your material wont be covering your ears and you won't have a bunga/keski. Now, you have to pull material from this larh out to cover your joora. Pull this material over to cover it and use your free hand to hold it down. While holding it down, tie your third larh over to secure the material. This will give you the shape you see in the puratan pictures where the Singhs jooras would stick out. You can also do the joora covering step after you do your third larh and secure it with your forth. Again, personal preference. For the forth larh, you just wanna go ever so slightly above your third larh, almost as if the two are blended. Make sure for both your third and forth, you go low from the back (occipital bone region). Tuck in the remaining material and that should be it.
  14. Original Misl/Jangi Era Dastar all the way.
  15. Who we trusting? Think we all know the answer Or
  16. Forget the patka. Start tying an ears-out dastar as it takes the same amount of time or even less to tie. I know plenty of Singhs starting to rock this style again. Basically its the Misl Era turban you see Singhs in fresco paintings wear. All you need is the full voile material and tie like 4 or 5 larhs. Bunga is optional. There's a reason why puratan Singhs wore this type of dastar as it's really compact and secure. All in all, it's truly a jangi type of turban.
  17. Okay, their CCTV pics got released. From what I understood, these guys are from the rival gang.
  18. Na man. From what I heard, the group Sidhu was affiliated with gunned down a rival. They retaliated and aimed for their top gun.
