Its funny that I stumbled across this because I just heard this katha. In the katha what jassa above is saying is true however the kathavachik states that banda singh never called himself guru. That was done after his passing. After that bhai mani singh had to come with the tatt khalsa and deal with the bandai khalsa whos leader at the time was claiming guruship. They did it in two ways. First by parchia writing fateh darshan on the bandai khalsa parchi which was there version of fateh. And writing Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh on the second parchi. When they put it in the soravar both settled to the bottom however after waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh parchi came to the top. After that the fake guru protested and they did a wrestling match between a big banda khalsa jiwan and a skinni khalsa jiwan singh. In which the khalsa singh won. After which the fake guru protested again but a khalsa singh at this point cut his head off with one stroke. But nowhere in the katha does he say that banda singh was the orchastrater of any of this as all this happened after he passed.

No Sikh source is as authentic as contemporary sources. Sikh sources were written later.

This doesn’t prove Baba Ji claimed to be a Guru. After his martyrdom, some declared him the Guru but Baba Ji himself remained a gursikh.

Letters and hukamnamas written by Baba Ji prove that he remained a Khalsa and instructed others to do the same.

His descendents believe in Guru Granth Sahib. Dr. Ganda Singh has written a detailed account on how they live and what they believe in. Believing in Baba Banda Singh as a Guru ended soon after the battle near Darbar Sahib.

True but this only shows how some took Baba Ji as their Guru. Baba Raam Singh always remained a Sikh but his followers, Naamdharis, have started a cult after his name. Similarly, some Sikhs misused Baba Ji’s name. There is no proof that he was the one to call himself a Guru and start a separate sect.

It is not proven. None of the Persian sources written during that time till 1734 make such claims.

Whatever may be the case we all acknowledge that Guruship ended with Guru Granth Sahib ji, we can never categorically establish the truth surrounding Baba Banda Ji so much of our history is corrupted. What we do know, do understand and agree on he without any question was a fundamental character who with respect has engrained himself in Indian history. Whatever the case he clearly experienced life, pain and death without detracting from his staunch belief for that he commands respect from every opinion. So often we project opinions from our own life experiences, we cannot possibly understand the upheaval and turbulent climate that was experienced back then they experienced life at a totally different level to what we think we may know. To know of something and to experience something are worlds apart.

    • what’s a rajput jatt sikh  you’re either jatt or you’re not jatt
    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect.
