no one is saying that hindus are weak and all sikhs are strong and brave....however it all works on ratio!...bring me 100 hindu men and then bring me 100 sikh men...i can guarantee you will find a higher percentage amongst sikhs who are more aggressive, martial, hotheaded, courageous...

yes , thats true !!

Not all hindus are weak , nor are all sikhs brave or even sardar-like , for that matter !

Stereotypes are not good

There was a time when people started calling sikhs sardars ( chiefs or leaders ) coz we had those personalities . Not all turbaned men these days have those qualities . They are just turbaned , not necessarily makes them sardar , which is actually a word of great honor !

Stereotypes are not good .

I didn't they were. I didn't make any stereotypes. Stop trying to flip the point in your favour. The original point of yours was that it was the policy of some people you refer to as "Britishers" to get Sikhs to trim their beards. You said this without pinning the blame even once on India. I pointed out to you that only did the British not want sikhs to trim their beards they had tough enforcement strategies in place to prevent this from happening. Compare this with the situation with Sikhs today in the Indian Army. The Indians have the complete opposite strategy. Forbidding and dismissing those that do not trim and become amritdhari. Despite all this....you choose to put thebblame on the "Britishers" ? :wow:

Now....I said the British thought a Sikh that cut or trimmed his hair would lapse into Hinduism. Lets be honest now, they were far-sighted and actually have a point. Nobody, except in your imagination, mentioned the word 'weak'. Only you know then, why you choose to devote the next few messages criticising the use of a word that wasn't even used in the first place.

I said the British believed the Hindus would be of no use in the battlefield. Rather than jumping to the defence of your beloved India perhaps you'd like to do something usefull and provide us with examples of when Hindus were indeed usefull in the battlefield. I, for one, am struggling for examples.

And I state once more.....We are communicating with each other in the English language, and in the English language there is no such word as "Britisher". It makes no gramattical sense. It would be like calling an American an Americaner. Or a Canadian a Canadianer.

    • 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!!
