waheguru ji kekhalsa, waheguru ji ke fateh

Pyare jio maharaja Duleep singh tried to get an army to get his kingdom back, but he was unable to do so and died a broken man. Christianity was enforced on him throughout his life, so when it came to his death, I would be sure they buried him.

I do not think they were interested in what his choice was.

His body is buried in the graveyard in Elveden. He did become a sikh again for a few years after his flight from England and whilst he was in Paris and Russia but he recanted publically and became a christian again before he died. this is evidenced in his own letters, his will (which asks for him to be buried) and a diary entry by Queen Victoria with whom he met before he died. She described him and it is quite clear that he wasnt "keshadhari" at that meeting.

"Cemeteries don't have "fake" graves they either have the body of the deceased person or a tomb is made for the person"

says who? The punjabi soldier who was born into a sikh family, who died in the iraqi war has a tomb stone to commemerate him and it has a khanda on it. It doesnt matter if the body is there, as long as you are willing to pay the price for the tomb.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
