I was just wondering if there are any south indian sikhs?

I am not considering the sikhs who migrated from Punjab.

I mean- Kannada, Tamil, Telgu or Kerala sikhs?

Any information please...?

Hi All,

I am a Banjara sikh from Andhra Pradesh. I guess you all know that SIKHISM is very popular in Banjara community and there are many Banjara Sikhs you can find in South India.

One of the main concentrated Banjara sikh base in south india is maharasthra and also in many regions of Andhra Pradesh one can find many Banjara Sikhs.

Many Banjara Sikhs face a problem that they dont know Punjabi. I am also a little weak in Punjabi. But i am never ashamed when people say "you dont know Punjabi" I reply to them as " I know Waheguru. I know the Guru's Preechings. I am a Sikh and it doesn't change the reality that I am a Sikh- A son of WAHEGURU".

I would appreciate if one can start a thread for us brothers where we can learn Punjabi and never face a situation.

Hope everyone understands my feelings.

Most famous South Indian Sikh is one of the Panj Pyaras, Bhai Saheb Singh - who was a Kannada speaker - his mother's name was Ankamma - Sikhism does not belong to any race or region but all humanity!

I was on an assignement from my company and lived in Nellore district of Andhra pradesh, 80 miles from Madras.

I have seen quite a few banjara sikhs doing trade on motor cycles. They tie a small piece of cloth round their head

and their features are similar to Punjabis.

VP Naik was chief minister of Maharashatra and he was highly respected one for his contribution in building Maharashtra

in 1960s. He was also a banjara. He said in a speech that his father used to take him to Hazur sahib every year on Dussehra

when he was a child.

Famous cricketing family of aG Ram Singh was from Madras. His sons Kirpal singh, Milkha singh and satvinder singh also were

test cricketers. They spoke tamil.

I tell you one thing that people of south are very nice as a person. They are simple and truthful lacking cunning attitude.

I enjoyed my stay there.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • 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!!
