The Khanda was slightly different shaped at the time of Sri Hargobind ji. Since Nihangs are probably the oldest embodiement of the Sikh warrior tradition they wear this modified version that reflect the Siphahi side, whereas the "modern" Khanda reflects the Sant and Siphahi side.

Why was Randip cut off?

Unfortunately some of the admin here are modern day Hitlers who wish to stifle freedom of speech. They have edited my footnote.......censored websites....collude with people who abuse me and yet call themselves Sikhs!!!

The site in question which I posted was the Sarbloh one.....for some unknown reason they get their kacharay in a twit on this site when you mention it.

Could you post a pic of a Khanda from Sri Hargobind Ji's time please?! Infact any Khanday from Guru Gobind Singh ji's time even.
