Hi,

I am a fan of Khuswant Singh, but am not writing this topic to prevtn crticism he getting. I'm writing this so i can think, you can think and we all can think. HIs recent novel, Delhi was crticized by some organization called Shahbaaz Khalsa. I just red it at Panthic heres what they wrote:-

Amritsar Sahib (KP) - Panthic Jathebandi Shahbaaz Khalsa, in a press note, called for ban on the controversial anti-Sikh writer Kushwant Sinh’s latest novel “Delhi”. Shahbaaz Khalsa leaders stated that the book was offensive to the Sikhs and contained insulting language against Shaheed Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.

Kushwant who has called, Baba Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale an “evil man” and a terrorist, has been much promoted in the Indian press for his distasteful and gaudy writing style. His latest novel “Delhi” centers around a Sikh guide who is involved in immoral relationships with other characters including a transgendered prostitute. The book has been described as the type of filth one can expect from a degenerate such as Kushwant Sinh. In the book, Kushwant ridicules Sant Bhinderanwale by referring to him as a “pagal” (insane) and a “chooha” (mouse).

Shahbaaz Khalsa sharply criticized the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) for recently honoring the author of this book at one of their official functions. They also condemned those who have collecting large sums of wealth under Shaheed Sant Jarnail Singh Bhinderanwale’s name, and stated they are silent about this books, because they are busy expanding their private deras.

The organization demanded Sri Akal Takht Sahib to demand a ban on this offensive publication and have the SGPC retract the award given to Kushwant. The press statement was released by Bhai Sukhmander Singh Karmuwala, Kulwinderjit Singh Khanpur, Jaswinder Singh Kapurthala, Gurdip Singh, and Pritpal Singh of Ludhiana.

And these are excerpts:-

I personally red almost all books and novels by him and found nothing wrong, he says whats true, without polishing it. He writes open minded and leaves his readers to conclude. Do you think this is wrong what he wrote, a typical human who believes in "Equality for Everyone" would happen to say YES, What do you say?

How can u say that what Kushwant write is true .. he call Sant ji mad .. He is sayin singh with santh ji was badmash.. do u think they were .. if u think so then i m sorry to say but u dont have respect for Shaheed .. They give thier life for Sikhi .. If Sant Ji Was mad and singh was Gunde then what was nirankari .. hero ?

Fighting for sikhi . Fighting for our hakk is bandmashi .. Guru Gobind singh Ji fight againsy zulam .. and they also teach us to fight for our hakk they teach us to be sant and sipahi ... you talking about Equality for Everyone... but where the hell is Equality.. They cut our Punjab in parts .. First East punjab then himachal then harayana .. why ???? they will answer it was need coz different people Diff. culture . Diff language . so it was need .. now tell me dear bro wher is Equality for Everyone.. is this Equality is for Hinduz only .. C.M. Of harayana said that Punjab have to find its new capital coz chandigarh is of haryana .. New Sign of equality .. Nirankari came to punjab, insult our Gurus and when Singh Like Fauja singh ji go there for protest they kill our Singhs .. i think according to Kushwant These shaheed were also fool .. rite ..

Plz veer ji stop talkin about open minded, On the name of this open mindness he is insulting our shaheed, isulting our proud history .. sitiing on a chair and writing a book ..anyone can do this .. but figtin for our hakk. leaving families .. sleepless nights .. its not a easy task .. If Fightin for sikhi is Baggi then every true sikh of Dasam patshah is bagi ..who ever fight for his hak is bagi but veer listen and remember

But he still writes truth, remember, i believe that sikhs live in past and they do. The times for when a head was was given for head, the time changed its not the head for head time. Its time to do things "humanly" as we're supposed to in this times. And kiling people, head for head is called GUNDAGARDI in these times. Its not that i'm saying sant ji were gunde, i'm saying what sikhs did after sant ji went to sach khand was wrong.. and i call that was gundagardi..

Khushwant Singh wrote that Sikhs could've made Indra appologize, step down from PM position and a lot others but killing her, WAS NO BRAVERY. She was shot, an alone women was shot. If she decieved us then didn't we decive her also...

Veero Think!!, I'm not here tyying to point that Sant Ji were gunde, But am freely saying what people did after Sant Ji was gundagardi...

hey, look , sikhs r respectable people, sikhs r confectionae people, sikhs r forgiving people but indira gandhi has done such an act that sikhs cannot behave peacefully with her. i think he got exactly what he deserves. if u think sikhs r gundas, then what will u say to those hindus who killed thousands of sikhs and that police force that allowed hindus to do so. so, they r even more than gundaas. why don't this bloody fool "KHUSHWANT SINGH" writes about them then. :T: :e: :nihungsmile:

$ingh $oorma, I don’t understand how Khushwant writes the truth? I don’t think Sikhs live in the past Sikhs were more advanced and had forward thinking 500 years ago and still is thanks to our Guru’s teaching. And I disagree with you on saying that this is not the time for head for head but do things humanly. I don’t think u know the Sikhs or the Sikh history. Here’s something Guru have taught us. Chu Kaar Ajj Haman Heeltae Darr Gujest, Hallal Astt Burdann Ba Shamsheer Dast (When all peaceful means are exhausted it is righteous to pick up the sword. Killing Indera was no in any sense gundagardi. How many innocent hindus did the Sikhs kill after the attack on Harminder Sahib? NONE

Now haw many innocent Sikhs were killed after assisination of Indera Gandhi? Over 4,000

Now you tell me who did gundagardi??

Rabb Rakha

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
