Bhangra And Sikhi


Recommended Posts

wat is the point of bhangra? wat do u get from it?

when u dance to bhangra, listen to the types of songs u dance to. unless there shabads from guru granth sahib ji, i dont think they gonna be pro sikhi. but then again, i have never seen a person dancing to any shabads.

but the types of songs are like oh tu meri billo tey main teri billo. oh will u be my girlfreind and i love you. blah blah blah. assi jatt punjabi tey assi sharab bohat peene aan. we punjabi tey eh punjabi. its all a bunch of crap. this is where i think the whole punjabi pride stuff needs to get to be rid of. instead of saying we are punjabi and proud, i think we need to start saying we are sikh and proud. instead of having punjabi virsa, why not have sikhi virsa. then we would actually think twice before adding bhangra in our list of rehat maryada. our elders have done soo much for us and have laid down their lives for us. and it wasnt so we could go around doing bhangra and dancing to songs that are totally anti-gurmat.

so the answer to ur question is NO!

sorrry if i offended any of you bhangra captains out there, but this is just wat i feel.

If it is done as an exercise, it is like any other dance-sport (breakdance, etc)

If it is done with any of the 5 vikaars (Kaam, Krodh, Lobh, Moh and Ahankaar), its completely anti-Gurmat.

From a historical perspective, was any type of bhangra or giddha done during Guru Sahibaans time? (or any other type of dance popular with the common Punjabi folks then)

    • 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. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
