From what ive heard....the nihangs used to wear big dumalleh to intimidate the people they were fighting AND for PROTECTION. Now wearing a large dumalla with the iron wire wrapped around i ( dno the name for it sorry) would impact blows from kirpans better than helmets and were very practical. Now what ive been wondering and if any1 can answer...did the nihangs wear big dumalleh generally too when they were not in battle too?

Is he fighting a great war where he needs to wear that just seems stupid and is killing his neck .. wouldn't be surprised if he had neck pains

why not just wear a regular pagh

y r u worrying about his neck pains?

with the power of nitnem, as proven in sikh history, even getting cut in half from head to toe has no pain, even getting burned alive has no pain, sitting in a boiling water pot has no pain, gettting cut bit by bit has no pain, taking a ride on the charkharree has no pain, walking 3 miles with ur head in ur left palm and a khanda in ur right palm, even this has no pain.

and we are only talking about a dastaar here bro, come on now. do we know how much nitnem bhai major singh ji does? no we do not. do we know how much simran bhai sahib does? no we do not, so y do we worrying if his dhumalla is bothering his neck. i think based on past history, bhai sahib is in chardikala and does not need any shanke to be done about his neck pains, which i highly doubt he has any in the first place.

dont wanna be mean or anything, but these kinds of topics is wat u call "pani vich madani", which doesnt get u anywhere.

Who said anything bad about the man in the picture? So, if you saw him walking down the street, are you telling me you wouldn't stare and be curious about it?

That's all I see here. People are just wondering why he wears such an extraaaaaaaaaaa large turban.

"Servant of the Khalsa", before you give a tongue lashing next time, please check if there is something obstructing your view between you, and the masses.

o thank god some one who dose not flame...

back to topic ....

did guru say bigger the turban the better ??

a turban is a turban size not mattering

i dont know how true this is buh i heard a sakhi once...........in the battle of chamkaur............the two younger sahibzadey wanted to fight the jang like their older brothers...............but baba jujhar singh said to baba zorawar singh............no you cannot, your too small................so in an effort to be accepted to fight.............baba zorawar singh tied a massive bunga and dhumallaa..............he still didnt fight in the jang.............but ive been told that that is where the tradition of wearing a big dhumalla comes from...................

sorry if the above is a load of rubbish...............

It all started when sahibzada fateh singh first tied a big dumalla to look tall and show their brothers that now they are also big and they can fight too. This is when guru gobind singh ji said the larger turban a sikh ties, the more he will bw loved by guru.  The actual turban is dumalla meaning “do malla”- two cloths it is the original and only sikh dastar. The pagh was started by the king of patiala as royalty. The actual dastar is dumalla only as it is very hard for enemy to remove while battle. Otherwise today we see sikhs going on protests and getting their turbans easily removed-they should tie a dumalla that was actually the one and only sikh dastar. And at last a big turban is not a bad thing and a small one is not too it is not like if one has small turban he should feel shame or something but what matters is first a person should be sikh from inside and then from outside. Being a sikh only from heart is not okay and being a sikh from outside only is not okay too.

    • 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?
