Did you notice on the Indian news at the weekend that one of the demands of Brahmin yatra was a seperate area to be built for the memory of the Singhs that accompanied Siri Guru Tegh Bahadur. The attempt is to show them as seperate group from Siri Guru Tegh Bahadur. In the early 1980's some extreme Hindu groups started a campaign to do this also that they were actually Hindus also.

Isingh is correct in what he wrote in all the three posts ( Posts # 16, 22, and 24 )

*****************************

During the times of Sahib Guru Tegh Bahadur , the tradition of adding Singh to the name was not there/ or was not common. The Sikhs would add Bhai in front of the name. However, during the last few years of Sahib Guru Gobind Singh and during the Khalsa Raj many Dogras also added Singh as the last name to their names . Dogras quite often is used as a generic name for the Hindu inhabitants of Jammu and Kashmir and parts of present day Himachal Pradesh. Some of the Dogras who converted to Sikhism or Islam from Hinduism continued to call themselves Dogras. Originally the majorities of the Dogras are from Brahmin caste. In the above mentioned regions both the Brahmins and Rajput castes have been using nameSingh., though the tradition is much older with the Rajputs. Even these days most of the Dogras living mainly in Jammu region are Kashmiri Pundits (Brahmins)

So do not be mislead that Brahmins did not use the names Singh. In fact most of the Barhmins, Rajputs, and Khatris who prided themselves to be belonging to higher castes, and who then became Sikhs during the Khalsa Raj converted back to there original castes after the Khalsa Raj . The population of Sikhs in Punjab dropped from being about 13 to 14 millions to about 2 millions. Most of them were the first to become Arya Samaji. . Then the large number of Haryana Jats and Khatris under their influence also became Arya Samajis.. I think most people know of the role played by the Arya Samaj in dividing the post 1947 Punjab.

{{ On an other note when Shaeed Bhagat Singh cut his hair and avenged Lala Lajpat Rai, a "Kattar" Arya Samaji, the hindus started promoted him as to have converted himself to Arya Samaj sect of Hinduism. So they promoted him way above so many other Sikhs who sacrificed there lives equally well for the cause.}}

One of the reasons of this march - about which we are discussing here, seems to be to promote Bhai Dayala ji as a Brahmin to have also made the sacrifice at that time, where as it is known that Bhai Dayala ji and Bhai Kirpal Dass (formerly Pundit Kirpal Dass) came into Sikhi fold after meeting Sahib Guru Tegh Bahadur.

Dogras are not brahmins. Neither brahmins write singh as last name.

    • 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.
