Edit Wikipedia Plz!


Recommended Posts

I wanted some information abt Lahore so checked wikipedia and found these lines objectionable, offensive and misleading :

"The 1740s were years of chaos and between 1745 and 1756 there were nine changes of governors.[citation needed] Invasions and chaos in local government allowed bands of warring Sikhs to gain control in some areas. Lahore ended up being ruled by a triumvirate of Sikhs of loose character and the population of the city invited Ranjit Singh to invade.[citation needed] He took the city in 1799 and became the ruler of Lahore."

Can someone plz edit the topic and also put some more information about sikhs' links with lahore like shaheedi of Guru Arjan Dev Sahib Ji and kingdom of Sher-e-panjab Maharaja Ranjit Singh Ji.

Here's the link:

Looks like the entry is from some Pakistani guide book and indicative of their mentality. These people refer to the rule of the Mughals when lakhs of Sikhs were killed as a golden age and the rule of the Khalsa as Sikha Shahi which in Pakistani eyes is equivalent to a tyranny.

I know........i've had conversations wiv muslims many time over mughal rule etc and they say "your ranjit singh did so much destruction of lahore, killed ppl, destroyed forts and buildings etc". Its surprising how easily they reject the tyrannical era of mughals especially aurangzeb and say "oh he was so pious and he even use to sew caps and teach islam to his grandchildren blah blah".

the ppl that write this

edit it bak to wat it was b4

its a none stop battle

Its amazing how some people are so jelous of Sikhi that they are determined to do whatever it takes to bias and distort our precious history...even if that means that have to scan wikipedia 24/7 looking for anything that they can edit to give it an Anti-Sikh stance using lies, bickering and making up false history.

BULLDOZERWARGASINGH not only you are right but you also have been proved so in regards to your above statement as some brahminacal brother of jealous nature who might have infilitrated this forum has read this article and has very nicely placed those words back terming sikhs of loose character after SARPACH veer edited them and i also did a lot of editing by palcing guru arjan devji's connection wiv lahore and also adding shaheed bhaagat singh's hanging etc. And in addition to that the bra-man also gave proof of his identity by terming sikhs as hindu and also adding some somnath mandir shyt and also a lot of false crap dat when maharaja ranjit singh died he had bhagvad gita placed on his chest. Apart from being false how foolish that satement is....how can a dead person command someone to place a book on his chest?

For the meantime i m not editing it coz u guys can have a look and i'll edit it later but sorry for dat bra-man dude better luck next time. And also a bad news for u i m making an account on wikipedia so i'll be monitoring sikhi related articles regularly to keep them clean of your filth and lies. For he moment go drink your divine cow pi$$ u loser.

    • 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.
