Hindus Wrong Perception Of Sikhism

[Inqlabi]

I don't know why Hindus have wrong perception of Sikhi like

1) Before Guru Gobind Singh Ji all Sikhs Guru Sahibs were Hindus.

No they were not Hindus . Guru Nanak Sahib Ji laid down the foundation of Sikhism and all his followers were known as Sikhs . Even at that time new converts have to take Charn Pahul to become Sikhs . After Guru Amar Das Ji all Sikh Guru Sahibs were son of Sikhs not Hindus.

2) Hindus made their first son Sikh to fight Muslims .

No, it were Sikhs the followers of Guru Nanak Sahib Ji made their sons Khalsa to fight Muguls not Muslims .

3) Khalsa is a Panth not Dharam .

Yes Khalsa is a panth but not of Hindu Dharma its a Panth of Sikh dharma .

[Singh559]

Good points.

From the times of Guru Hargobind Sahib ji the hindus (especially around area of Patiala) gave one horse and their first born son to the Khalsa.

The second bahmans realized Guru Nanak Dev Ji refused the janeou and all of the pakhandwaad that they make everyone waste their life away with they put their sights on Sikhs to one way or another make Sikhs wear the janeou. It still continues today.

The Hindus kicked out the Buddhists from India and changed their culture in an attempt to absorb the new dharam.

Whats difference between Panth and Dharam ?

Anywhere in our Gurbani is sikhi called dharma ?

In Dasam granths bani Guru Sahib talk about "Kshatri dharma" so how is it classifeid as dharma ?

[Singh559]

Who gave 11Guru1Jot -'s?

Someone did, not sure who.

[mohinder pal]

It doesnot matter who we are? Whole creation has come out of Akal Purakh, Main to think to reflect here is

BABA AKHAIN HAJIAN, SHUBH AMLAAN BAJU DONU ROOYI.
