No and you don't need to be in the armed forces to be regarded as martial....just look at the pathans in FATA Pakistan....those tribes provide very little manpower to pakistani army....yet they are the most martial group in that region....according to them it is sunna to keep shastars ...to keep the 'steeds of war' always ready...they stay true to the jihadi concepts in their quran....

sikhs have enough martial literature, but the problem is we are distancing ourselves from them..banis from sri dasam granth and sri sarbloh granth helped motivate our ancestors to great heights...also the many martial rehitname and itihaasik granths which command sikhs to keep shastar bastar and to learn shastar vidya and yudh vidya..engage in hunting and practice jhatka maryada...we have enough to make us martial...

Our level of martialness has decreased a lot since the independence of India. But compared to everyone else in India, Sikhs can still be considered the most martial with out a doubt. When the shyt hits the fan, Sikhs can still get pretty militant and khatarnaak.

niddar singh lies about shastar vidya if it was banned then why did his teacher wait so long to find a student to teach

and not start a school in the 40's

shastar vidya is mix of hindu martial arts that niddar singh learned in india

Please don't mention that guy's name and associate it with shastar vidiya. He used to call it jhatka gatka and changed it to shastar vidiya to try to legitimize his drunk martial art where he borrowed ideas from various asian arts.

Shastar vidiya has nothiing to do with niddar. He's just highjacking the name. Shastar vidiya means the knowledge of shastar....

if you see most sardars they don't look martial or in shape

sikhs need military culture back

A lazy stereotype that isn't as relevant these days as it was, say, 10 or 20 years ago.

All young Singhs I've seen are fit and skinny - a bit too skinny in my opinion but trim nonthelesss. If you're referring to Uncle Singhs and elders then... no comment!

    • 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.
