Here's another observation:

http://www.sikhsangat.com/index.php?act=Se...ult_type=topics

veer ji i'm sure you have good intentions and are not trying to cause nindia but why do most of the topics you start have something to do with AKJ, GNNSJ, or the Ramgharia community?

daas is taking a guess here but maybe there were 1 or 2 sweeping generalisations or stereotypes in that post?

why do you have so many questions?

I'm being provocative. I think it is really important, at this point in time for the small band of Khalsas who keep Ramgharia gurdwaras afloat with their seva, to come out and rebel big time against the serpent masands that run Ramgharia Gurdwaras. I'd like to see Ramgharia completely dropped from the name regular Amrit Sanchaars being held and Ramgharia Halls stopping booze and meat parties. I'd like to see the pure and spartan ideals of the khalsa take root in these gurdwaras, so that they truly honour the great gursikh puratan Khalsa fauji-Jassa Singh Ramgharia. Ramgharia means custodians of the castle of Waheguru......Ramgharia gurdwaras are fa, fa, far from this at this point in time and space.

Why not ......? This is my specialty round. I have no intentions of doing Nindia......far from it. I'm merely making observations..........no harm in that whatsoever. Maybe I hail from the Ramgharia Misl and am trying to clean up it's act....I'll keep you guessing Veer Ji.

I can answer questions 7 - well sort of.

Well most ramgharia's work involves manufacturing, during British rule they got sent around the world to work in countries like Kenya. You've seen kenyan singhs - u no like Jassi Sidhu, their roots have been twisted and evolved. I think starchy paags are also more suitable for hot weather as they are like hats ( no i dont approve) so they can just take them off.

Something i must point out though, many amritdaris have been born from these people who call them selves "Ramgaria Sikhs", who said that they believe in Baba Bishkarma, or dont do Gatka, or wear bana or really do the rest of the things you listed? Don't forget that amritdaris are do denounce all form of caste, and if "ramgharia" people call emselves sikhs then im afraid that they are wrong.

my mates family is from aTarkhan background (she dont belive in caste) she says:

1. Why don't Ramgharia Gurdwaras hold regular Amrit Sanchars ?

not sure about this 1

2. Why do they believe in Baba Bishkarma ?

this is not true as no1 in my exended (very large) family ever talks about a Baba Bishkarma and we only belive in one God.

3. Why are there so many Ramgharia Halls (meat and booze halls)?

its sad but true!!!!!toatally disagree with it.

5. Why don't they do Gatka ?

they do!!!!! Andddd why do you think that Ramgharia need to create thier own Akhara! There are some that have joined existing ones!

6. Why don't they wear dumallas or wear the bana?

how do know if the sikh u saw wearing one was not from a Ramgharia background

7. Why do they have starched pugs?

when u ae swching pugs u can pick it up and put it on ur head and not worry about tieing it if u r in a rush!!!lol

8 Why do they believe so much in sants?

thats NOT true!!!dont non ramgharia poeple also see Binderwalla as a sant???

9 Why don't Ramgharia women wear keskis?

they do!!!!

10 Why are they allergic to the word 'Khalsistan' ?

personally i feel that segregation is not the answer to the problem and the gov shud sort themselevs out...why shud peopel leave their homes and live elsewhere beause they are being discriminated /slaughtered te indian gov shud sort themselves out, we shud not run but defend our homes...

Before anything, I would like to say that these are my opinions and not anybody else's and that I AM NOT RAMGARHIA, NEVER WAS, OR WILL BE. (Said in the most respectful way.) I am A SINGH, and a girl is a KAUR no caste no nothing. :TH: :e:

Okay, to answer your questions.

1. Because if other Gurdwaras do, than you do not really need to. It really depends on the location, if that is the only gurdwara that is in a certain location for lots of people then it is WRONG not to hold a lot of Amrit Sanchar's. no.gif

2. No idea, but they better not to do "BIPRAN KI REET" otherwise they can have as many Gurdwaras, but they are not followers of Guru Gobind Singh.

3. Lack of understanding, and maya getting to people's head. The solution to this is kick out the current jathebandi's and bring in fresh ones with passion for SIKHI! That can happen in ANY Gurdwara.

4. Nah not really, they do call themselves Sikh, a lot of them are Amritdari as well.

5. Perhaps, they stress work ethic more, than physical activity which isn't neccessarily a good thing.

6. Why does it matter, as long as they have Sikhi Saroop and believe in Bakthi & Sakhti, Miri & Piri, Sant & Sihpahi its' all good. :TH:

7. Who Cares? Does it matter? At least they are Keshadari, and/or Amritdari. d_oh.gif

8. Sometimes people come back into Sikhi through "sants." I wouldn't necessarily call any John Doe a Sant, because it takes a lot to be a SANT. But, if these "sants" can bring people back into Sikhi, than I see no harm in that.

9. A lot do, maybe some don't. They will get to it as soon as possible with Akal Purakh's kirpa.

10. A lot of them perhaps don't care about the cause, and worry about other things such as Kirat Karna, Naam Japna, and Vad Ke Chakna. :lol:

OK 1986.....I'd like to know where the Ramgharias are doing gatka...maybe I'll find some associates that I could gather to finally sort out my local Ramgharia 'trim beard, starched pug, pot bellied, non-amritdhari' pardaan.

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
