ahaha!! i woz thereeee!!! 2nd row! It was a gd talk and stuff, but poor bloke was sort of saying that jhatka and bhang is ok to do :S O YH!! and Nihangs do drink tea because they consider it a nasha!! Hahahahahah!!!

Its not bhang. Its shaheedi degh. The "nihangs" who abuse the maryada of shaheedi degh are called "nangs". Moreover, Nihangs never force anyone to have shaheedi degh. Its a part of their tradition which some nihangs like to practice. If the panth has problem with this tradition, the solution is to sit together and have a gurmatta.

On this website, attacking nihangs is a timepass and the moderators remain silent. Such moderators are asking for juttis.

Regarding jhatka, its not a bajjar kurehit according to Sri Akal TAkht Sahib, though personally I feel eating meat harms one's naam kamayee and meat shud be eaten only when there is no veg diet available.
