Firstly if you feel it is better to correct someone grammaticaly i would spell "armature" correctly. Maybe your grasp of the english language is fading

Secondly please respond by using my username not some indian pindu desi version that is a base level of respect

Thirdly an oxymoron is something like dark light, whatever Nidar Singh does in his time is his business i believe you can seperate martial knowledge from sikh knowledge. An example my boss at work is power hungry, bitchy, and pretty viscious but he is incredible at his job i pick and choose the information i want to learn/pick up!

Fourthly your name is shaheed singh khalsa but you float around the issue because you are afraid!

Im in the states so i have never been to his classes.. but i have heard things about him. I was curious. I help run a non profit here for underage sikh youth. I even tried to bring him here to the states was in talk with his peeps. His peeps got Spooked after i started asking questions about his ideology. The reason i wanted him here was to expose his ideology and see for my self.If you have any background in martial arts you will understand his skill. There have been rumors that some singhs in india are getting ready to challenge him.... like i said know thy enemy.

You are telling a fib.

I like your oxymoron point... very good example of how in everyday life you meet ppl with skills and bad habits and it is a sikh's duty to pick and choose what he needs to retain based on a gurmat principals. if we were to listen to shaheed singh khalsa we would need to sit in the jungle and not participate in the world. Modern world is geared more to selfish and decrepit ideals, it is a sikhs duty to overcome such temptations.Every day is like a battle!

The GNNSJ sangat are well aware of Nidar and they are discussing how to deal with the matter in Leeds. I think that Nidar should just stick to his community centres and steer clear of places of worship, as it is clear from his groups behaviour that they are not interested in mixing their martial training with worship.

Also their views are clearly against the mainstream Sikh Sangat in a Big way, he actually makes this statement himself many times on his websites. the proof as always ......

"This website by its nature has caused an uproar amongst the narrow minded mainstream Sikhs who are angered due to the vast amount of scriptural and historical facts presented here"
http://www.<banned site filter activated>/htmls/information_menu.html

"Many modern mainstream Sikhs, such as those pictured, today practice 'Kirtan'
that may be termed 'Pakhand' (false/fake)"
http://www.<banned site filter activated>/htmls/article_nitnem_conclusion.html


"Much to the dismay of many, the website will also make evident that today's mainstream Sikh institutions are but products of late 19th Century, British-Raj nurtured puritanical thought, and, not true to the original teachings of the Gurus as they wrongly claim."

"One may also state for certain that if Jarnail Singh had not caught the imagination of the historically ignorant and gullible Sikh populace with this falsified history of Samparda Chowk Mehta, then the movement he inspired would not have taken off."

"Sadly, the vast majority of so-called 'Sikhs', never mind non-Sikhs, are completely unaware of these questions despite the fact that 'translations' of Akal Ustat are widely available in Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, and in English. Even from those Sikhs who claim to have read Akal Ustat, all seemed to have over looked these questions. This sounds astonishing, but not entirely surprising considering the great level of ignorance prevalent in so many so-called Sikhs of today.
"http://www.<banned site filter activated>/htmls/epilogue_akalustat.html



So if he thinks mainstream sikhs are ignorant and our institutions are puritanical christian, then why is he going out of his way to setup classes in the very same institutions and teaching the same people he clearly hates ?

GNNSJ was one of the first organisations in the UK to Print and disseminate detailed accounts and information of 1984 massacre at Harimandir Sahib. Yet he wants to cosy up with them sending one of his students to be all nicey nicey "good Putt" and make his way in.... not mentioning that he is nidars student WHAT RESPECT is this to your gurdev? Machi singh deceived GNNSJ Leeds by not mentioning Nidars name, so he could start teaching there.

The nihangs and Taksalis in India have always had very close links yet he hates on Sant Jarnail Singh for doing what a warrior should be doing - fighting injustice. but to nidar anyone who does that is a fanatic!
Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana ? ask nidar what is his opinion? and then when he says hes a terrorist then ask him about Nelson Mandela, then ask him about baaj Singh, Ask him about Sukha Singh Mehtab Singh, ask him about baba Deep Singh and Bhai Mani singh in their defiance of the rule, and then ask him about Sant jarnail singh and Bhai Fauja Singh.

So again his students on this forum make it very clear this is just about Martial Arts - but then I say OK thats fair, you guys go ahead learn drunken Kung Fu, learn jujitsu learn kenchi-chapal slap techniques, etc

but then why is he claiming hes the last sikh shaster teacher, why is he making up this snatan cult, why is he claiming Sikhs are Hindus, why is he trying to ridicule solid shaheed singhs like Bhai Fauja Singh
and Sant Jarnail Singh who all of us MAINSTREAM sikhs respect ?

NIDAR UNBEATEN
the only fight NIdar has ever had is with Teji and his superiority was not made evident. actually he came across as very brash and inexperienced. granted he has had many years now to incorporate the Silat, Escrima and JKD techniques into his art so he has improved.

why doesnt he challenge other martial artists, only his own people, why does he kiss pat o malleys <banned word filter activated> yet spit on his own people?

His art is just a demonstration art, its a performance art, its meant to wow the masses, and impress people the same as gatka, you have students who drop like flies and he always look awesome. I play slow motion fighting with my son and we look like Kung Fu masters.

If its just about Martial Arts and warfare why do the nihang singhs say
"BANI BANA PANKH PASHANO, GUR KA SIKH PANSHI JANO, PEHLA BANI FIRR BANA"
know scripture and uniform to be two wings, the sikh of the guru has both and is like a bird who flies, first comes scripture then comes physical outward apearance"

because without heart, without belief in anything, without Sikhi we are useless to the Guru.

What doesnt make sense is in front of Pat O malley and other martial artists he shows much respect to them and to the rest of us, his own people, he just insults and challenges us, what kind of a Sikh is he? who hates his own people.

you keep asking why do we hate Nidar, ask him why he hates all of us so much ?
why has he hijacked the SV lineage saying hes 9th in line even though Baba Giana Singh didnt pass on thapi to Baba Mohinder Singh as he had many other students?
why doesnt he personally answer the queries about his authenticity we have posed to him?
why is his backstory completely non existent?
why has his story changed so many times over the years?

and why is he trying to represent us in the media, and distort History to his own ends?

We published a request to Nidar on our website asking him for parameters of his challenge and he has to date not yet replied - http://www.shastervidiya.org/nidars-hadh-thor-challenge/

    • WJKK WJKF Sangat Ji, I bought a brand new medium Artisan Kirpan (8.7 inches) from https://thekhalsaraj.com/products/black-g10-ultra-durable-kirpans 2 months ago, and it is in unused condition. I bought it 2 months ago and it is in unused condition, with everything that came with it still fully sealed. I even paid extra to get it ੴ ਸਤਿ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ  laser engraved on the blade. This cost me £370 including shipping from the USA. It is in brand new condition, but I no longer need it since I have been gifted a new Buddha Dal-made Pesh Kabz for free. I am selling it for £250 even though it is in brand new condition - it is a first-hand Kirpan. From the official website, it costs £370. The handle is indestructable G10 fiberglass, wielded to a razor sharp blade (edge and tip) which is engraved with the custom Gurbani. Please reply if any Singh/Kaur here would like to buy it - it's 100% first hand but £120 reduced price. Includes a an embroidered padded case for airport travel, a blank certificate of ownership, maintenance brochure and a beautifully decorated black/grey adjustable Gatra.   I sent this advert out to a few places, and also asked some retailers if they'd like it, so it may go soon. Please do reply if anybody is interested, more than happy to answer questions too! (Note: the pic is from Google but is exactly what the Kirpan and Gatra both look like - the one I have is still in the packaging).

Please do reply if anybody is interested, more than happy to answer questions too! (below's a pic of the exact model, but not the Kirpan I have, as it's still in its box. I've only unsheathed it once to inspect it, and I can confirm it's in perfect condition).        
    • WJKK WJKF! How long will this forum remain online for in a readable & accessible state? It appears susceptible to shut-down. It would be a shame if all the forum's content from over the decades is lost in such an event due to servers hosting this forum shutting-down. This forum, whilst not currently active, remains an important repository of the Sikh religion online. It also is a fundamental aspect of Sikh cyber culture that existed from the early Internet period from the 2000's to 2010's before the domination by big social-media sites that consolidated the community. Thus, have the web-masters of this forum considered archiving this forum's contents before it is lost forever? I can assist you in this by saving the content to the Internet Archive on your behalf. Please let me know your thoughts about such an endeavour and I hope you may consider the possibility of archiving the forum for posterity. Future generations of Sikhs and Sikh researchers will be grateful. Kind regards, Theth Panjabi (you can find me on IG at theth.panjabi and on X/Twitter at ThethPanjabi)
    • Video on the tale, gurdwara, and manuscript: link As the story goes, during the Vadda Ghallughara genocide against the Sikhs perpetrated by the Afghan Durrani Empire on 5–6 February 1762, not only were Sikh lives lost, but our original Damdami Sahib Bir recension was also lost in that carnage. However, over the years I have spent researching our history, many claimed it was taken back to Afghanistan by Ahmad Shah Abdali's troops as loot whilst others said it was secretly hidden somewhere by the Singhs for safe-keeping. As of today, it remains untraceable and I presume it is gone for good. However, I came across a couple of articles stating that there were actually around five master-copies of the original Damdami Bir, with one of these copies being safeguarded by the jatha of Bhai Sudha Singh of the Shaheedan Misl. "It is said that the tenth Sikh master Guru Gobind Singh had got five birs written at Damdama Sahib. The bani (writings) of the ninth Sikh master Guru Tegh Bahadur were incorporated in these birs. These five birs were given to different jathas (groups) of Sikhs by Guru Gobind Singh to be safely installed. One bir was being taken by Sudha Singh who was leading a jatha of 19 Sikhs, when Abdali'[s] forces stormed Kup-Rohira and killed thousands of Sikhs. Though all 19 Sikhs were massacred by Abdali, Sudha Singh somehow brought the bir to Kuthala. Since then it has been kept at village gurdwara." (Times of India, 2012) The gurdwara today [Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Sudha Singh Ji in Kuthala] has a certain historical manuscript that they claim is one of the five master-copies of the Damdama recension. You can see close-up shots of the bir in the video posted. I will also share close-up images of its folios in the comment section. I will also provide a faithful English translation of the video's narration so non-Punjabi speakers may benefit from this post. I will leave the question on whether this bir is authentic or not to your judgement but I will provide my own analysis below.   English translation of the video's narration: The Guru-form Guru Khalsa Holy Congregation (Sadh Sangat) Ji, Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. The Gurdwara Sahib that the congregation is currently beholding is situated in Village Kuthala, near Malerkotla, in the Sangrur district of Punjab. A very great treasure is preserved within this Gurdwara Sahib. The history of this Gurdwara Sahib is very closely related to the Vada Ghalughara (The Great Holocaust) that took place in February 1762. Baba Sudha Singh Ji, the third head of the Shaheedi Misl, arrived at this location considering it a safe place. He brought with him that sacred holy scripture (Saroop) which the Tenth Father, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, had personally dictated to Bhai Mani Singh Ji on the holy land of Damdama Sahib. Upon arriving, he personally performed the last rites (cremation) of 19 martyred Sikhs at this site. As he prepared to leave to take command of the Jatha (the Sikh contingent), the sacred holy scripture he had brought was enshrined at this very location. At that time, this place was known as Dera Jaga Sidh, but nowadays, a very beautiful building stands here in the name of Gurdwara Sahib Shaheedi. The sacred holy scriptures that were enshrined at that time are today ceremoniously displayed (Prakashwan) with great respect every Channi Dashmi (the tenth day of the bright lunar fortnight) for the congregation to behold. Devotees from within the country and abroad arrive to catch a glimpse of these sacred scriptures and receive the Guru's blessings. Every year, an annual Gurmat Samagam (religious congregation) is held for five consecutive days in memory of the martyrs of the Great Holocaust, concluding on Magh Sudi Dashmi. Furthermore, a book containing the full detailed history—titled after Shaheed Baba Sudha Singh Ji and the Hand-written Holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji—was released in February 2013 by the managing volunteers based on historical research. It was released by the 14th head of the Shaheedi Misl, Singh Sahib Baba Makhan Singh Ji (the current head of Baba Bakala Sahib), the Meet Jathedar Singh Ji, and Sant Gurdev Singh Ji of Anandpur Sahib (the current head). The congregation can obtain spiritual benefit by reading it. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.   My analysis: In my humble opinion (which may be incorrect), this bir is not a master-copy of the Damdami Bir. It more closely resembles the highly-decorated birs of the Kashmiri-style that were created during the reign of the Sikh Empire in the first half of the 19th century. We can see this bir has highly illuminated and illustrated angs (folios), which took the great skill of a master artisan to make, which required resources to pay and patronize. Usually, the manuscripts during the Sikh Empire were the most elaborately decorated, as this was when the Sikhs were at a high-point, masters of the land, possessing vast amounts of resources that they could use to fund such endeavors. Therefore, whilst the story may be true and a master-copy of the Damdami Bir recension may have once been at this location, I am not convinced that this particular manuscript is it. I may be mistaken and I am open to constructive criticism. 1633648456_GurdwaraHistory.mp4
