Flag Of Your Country Next To Nishan Sahib?

[Balait_da_Sher]

People i was using UK as an example. The topic is not restricted to UK only. As for can an American put forward his views on situtation in uk? Well why cant he/she. If that was the case then you would have to be in Iraq, Iran to talk about those countries.

So finally, please keep the posts following this post realted to the topic.

Guys stick to the topic, no pakistani and muslim bashing.

Yeah, so i was thinking that lets say we do put the flag a bit lower than the union jack. Then people will have problem with the union jack being lower in height than nishan sahib.

Does it matter if they are of same height?

I dont really know but it just doesnt feel right.

MIRI flags is always lower than the PIRI flag. as long as we maintain that :umm:

[Gupt Daas -Anonyms Servant]

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Vaheguru Ji Ke Fateh!

Piri - Saint

Miri - Politics

So Nishan Sahib Ji should be higher

At Amritsar there are 2 Nishan Sahibs one is higher to represent Piri the Other is lower to represent Miri

Naam Japu :umm:

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa! Vaheguru Ji Ke Fateh!

Piri - Saint

Miri - Politics

no no NO!

Miri is NOT politics!!

its temporal rule.

temporal: Pertaining to time or tense, not eternal.

ie: The rule that is limited by time. That is not politics, its everything in this physical world.

Politics is "Vote for me!"

Temporal Rule is "Let's sort this out"

Spot the difference..

Gurfateh ji,

I see no reason why the government would ask some one to fly the union jack... more so because patriotism or any virtue for that matter, should come from within and not imposed by x y z..

I'm proud of being british and all that, but our guru deh khar, shouldn't be associated with any other organisations, like recieve money from the government, they are always usually formed by the kinds hearts of the sangat. so to put the union jack and the Nishan sahib, it wouldn't sit comfortably with me.

not to pick on you, but you have a khanda with an overlay of a union jack. what's the difference between that and flying a british flag along side the nishaan sahib? nishaan sahib is religious, not political like the union jack, and vice versa. It should be lower, but I don't see any real problem with it. I know there's a situation out in california where they wanted to put up the nishan sahib, but the county or something had an ordinance that said that the u.s. flag had to be the largest flag on a property, so they can't legally put up the nishan sahib. In that situation, I can see that it's wrong to do that, but if there's no ordinance saying that in British law, what's the problem? Just fly a lower one underneath.

Sorry for the late reply, when I posted my post, I know I was gonna get asked that.

The khanda has the british flag within it, to represent british people, the Khanda is a one symbol for sikhi, with deeper meanings. This represents the people or the sikhs, rather than a gurdwara, Which is a Guru da Ghar, We have nationalities, weather it comes before religion or be nationality is another arguement but since when did Guru ji have a nationality, never, which also brings on another arguement should we have nationality, isn't our nationality the Khalsa, i'm getting confused

Bhul chuk maaf karni ji!

Im sure most of our opinions of having a national flag hoisted right up with the Nishan Sahib would change if it came to the flag of India.

But the Union Jack seems to be accepted amongst most of us, i find that strange since both governments and nations have killed our people and raped our land.

Fateh.

You're not wrong when you say this is confusing, but I still believe that this can be approached with some kind of rationale. By placing the U.J. flower than the nishan sahib, aren't we kind of saying that Sikhi trumps all?
