Will Khalistan Be Granted After A Fourth Attack On Sri Harmandir Sahib?

The name of a potential Sikh homeland should come from our glorious history and mythology; something that has been mentioned in our scriptures, etc., much like the Jews and Israel.

What about Begampura? It has a great history behind it and could be used to explain to any non-Sikhs (and some Sikhs I'd imagine) what Begampura was. Like Kopsingh said Khalistan has been stigmatised by the Indian government, and I'm sure all the uncles and sons of the uncles who've shouted themselves blue in the face shouting "Khalistan Zindabaad" over the years won't like to relinquish the name 'Khalistan' so easily.

Personally I'd stay away from anything containing 'stan' full-stop. People residing in western countries have cottoned onto the fact that countries which have 'stan' in their name have large Islamic populations and we don't want any confusion on that front.

Khalkhand? Panjkhand?

Interesting thoughts, I think about this occasionally as well and agree with you on this.

Wow, perhaps you should reconsider your opinion as the concept of a begumpura city has been mentioned in Gurbani.

Begampura is a legendary city in Gurbani as HSDH pointed out above. It's the perfect realm of peace, truth and honour. But if other sects have co-opted it for their own slogans then maybe not. It's a shame.

I still wouldn't use anything with 'stan' in it. You'll get lots of people taking the mick - of course we shouldn't shy away from mick-takers but if we've got the opportunity to put ourselves on the map - as it were - what better opportunity to start with a brilliant-sounding name for our own country. Plus, let's be a bit imaginative! It's not as if Khalistan is mentioned in Gurbani and therefore HAS to be used.

*Cue someone popping up and telling me Khalistan HAS been mentioned in Gurbani and therefore MUST be the ONLY name for a Sikh homeland* :biggrin2:

when ever I think of khalistan I take inspitlration from Jews they have less population than Sikhs but they have their own homeland... We need Khalistan because Indian Govt is not giving us Justice.. Now what we have to do is to save our sikh brother and sisters from abandoning sikhi and be prepared because nobody knows when the time come... if you dont like khalistan then why not to keep it Punjab... because when khalistan will become reality we will snatch back our west punjab too.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
