Stop talking about caste. That is anti-sikh of u to say " a rajput sikh has double duty". No, we are all Sikh and have the same duty as one body. I only included that because people wrongly assosciate being a Tarkhan with having a starched pagh. I am actually fully Jatt (I said Rajput cos my Massirji is one so my family has them too, all of which use starch). That's actually disgraceful to say that any one caste has more martial responsibility than the others and tells me you don't know much about Sikhi at all. And the only rlly famous Rajput Sikh I know of was Milkha Singh ji, who also wore a starched turban as you can see from his pictures. (shahi paggs are king based like rajputs, dumallas are the warrior ones like the soldiers. Since rajputs are both kings and warriors, they can easily fit into either but I'm actually jatt so this don't rlly concern me tbf) -
Is that from Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj/Sikh Rehat Maryada? Cos if not then it doesn't apply to me (I'm a Sikh of the Guru and nobody else). Bro don't be stupid 'standing up will hurt your head'? Sachi? It's position of my shoulder blades when tying. Dumalla is very entry level turban (not hard to tie) but to pooni, pinch and accurately place larrhs on a Punjabi Style pagg like mine takes a long time for most. Dumalla is not a real pagg it is a DASTAR (Warrior style). A pagg is double patti stitched turban (short for Pagrri, a common man's turban style). But Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj said "tie your turban layer by layer" but he didn't say it has to be each day i don't think. Starched turbans are tied once and then hold shape to be worn again without retying for about a few weeks to a few months depending on how much mawa you use. YES THEY GAVE THEIR LIFE FOR A TURBAN. I WOULD TOO. I HAVE ONE, I TIE ONE AND I EVEN TAKE THE EXTRA STEP OF STARCHING IT. A STARCHED TURBAN IS NO LESS A TURBAN THAN ONE TIED EVERY DAY. Also I've read your content you like to act like a warrior and all so how about this: in today's world, nobody has swords on the street. An attack on a Singh today is likely gonna be a racist trying to remove ur pagg. If it gets knocked off or unwound then ur screwed. But a starch turban can be called a "warrior turban" imo cos they prolly won't fall off but if they do then you can just put it on again. Same if you witness an assault or stn outside ur house at night you can put the pagg on and run to help (like a sant sipahi) instead of going out Nanga Sirf in the night

THIS QUESTION IS ABOUT UNARMED COMBAT, NOT SHASTAR VIDIYA (the science of WEAPONS). But let's pretend you didn't fail the first step of answering a question (to read it carefully): 1) Bro if that's not from Gurbani I don't wanna hear it. I ONLY accept hukam from the 10 Gurus of Sikhism and Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj. Not Bhindranwale, not anyone else and defo not 'Rattan Singh Bagghu' who lived in the 1700s wayy after Guru attained Joti Jot at Nanded (he's a historian). 2) Shastar Vidhaya actually means 'the science of weapons', but today ppl view it as literally the form of Nihang combat we see today. 'Preserve shastar vidiya' could just mean preserving the martial culture (which we do).

I know a Rajput Uncle who is a councillor and he wears the regular panjabi pagh. I wouldn't know he is a rajput because coul easily fit into any panjabi sikh or jatt background. But I can tell from his surname. However when I look at proper Rajputs they were warriors and kings with those kind of paghs, similar to wearing dumallas or shahi turbans, some looked like Nihang Singhs! And Rajput background sikhs were involved in shastarvidiya training with Guru Hargobind and Guru Gobind Singh, as well as becoming their sikhs. A rajput background sikh has double responsibilities to maintain turban and also training shastar. I think a Nihang Singh type look is more suitable for a sikh from Rajput background than any patiala shahi or average panjabi pagh -
