In order to kill a mouse, (she) distroyed the whole house.

which if you're a little educated and able to think outside the box, means to distroy someone less powerful. In this sentence K.Singh meant that Indra, being PM of India, a lady in power, more power then Sant Ji, she distroyed the whole Harmandir Sahib Complex to bring Sant Ji to "shaheedi". Its a world famous very old "Idiom" from Alexander's time...

I would close this thread by advising every member of SikhSangat to grow-up, think before you 'pop', otherwise just keep you mouth shut, and yes think outside of the box, especially..

You're being naive if you think Khuswant Singh used the mouse idiom without malice intentions.

Using such idioms for Santji is insulting to any Sikh. Besides, he's called Santji other names before, and also in this novel, so don't think it's just an innocent idiom.

It's easy to preach peace and diplomacy sitting in ivory towers. You have not understood the gravity of presecution Sikhs have had to suffer.

Here we go again.. (not really) just read the topic again, and again, and again, until you get something out of it...

The above quoted sentence tells me you didn't read the whole thread and just wanted to stuck your leg in.. That line about ivory tower was written without thinking, as it came from mind, without thoughts, with the flow of anger..

If i want to i can continue, but am a sikh (Its just that line is so stupid to say in this thread), and hope you think before you write, i hope you learn about consequences or in other terms a possible reply, before you say or write something.. May waheguru grant you naam..

Fateh!!

I know but the soldier part is not that if one kills you should "kill" him/her also. You can kill your enemy in many ways, you can be a soldier in many ways it just doen't has to be the one with gun...

A soldier is a soldier, you can kill your enemy using the above listed four ally's also..

And if you know the tuk, present it... or just mention the translation or any hints...

Killing Enemy in Sikh doesn't means KILL HIM/HER. It means kill their ego for you, etc.. Its us who take things literally that Killing Enemy means shoot him/her... :D

Kill their ego for you??

Thanks for showing us the light mate, I can't believe us Singhs were lost all along.

Time changes, guru ji's times were different and so are ours. If kirpan is the only answer then its been years howmany i think 90-100yrs and thousands of sikhs have been killed, betrayed, why don't we all get together and kill everyone who hates us or whos "Anti-Sikh"... sounds good... Why go to school when we can do anything using kirpan, why go to work when kirpan will serve as a way for money, why??

Just remember we are Sikhs, its our job to learn not to stick with the past, thats why we are called sikhs, the learners. If after all these killings, we haven't learned anything then when will we... If not now then we will never.

Whatever you say, but heres what i wanted to say before, "When all means fail, Its righteous to pickup the sword."

Heres my answer to that as a sikh, all means never fail, its the you who fails, if you fail once try again, and again, and again, but never giveup, trying will eventually pay off... Suppose you wanted to get education but you failed its not educations fault that you failed its yours.. and you should try better next time, if not then sit home in shame... that also sounds good... or just get kirpan or gun walk to the teacher and tell her/him to pass you all the times.. this actually sounds better..

Now concluding, We need to rise above the theory of kirpan. We need to control all four ally's:- Academics, Society, Poltics, & Economy. That was past, now its present, learn how to live in present and carve your and the panths furture instead of making it revolve it around what happened.

Its our choice now... Past or Present??

    • 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.
