Main thing is our leadership and institutions are corrupt and thus they are able to mix manmat practices with Gurmat and spread it to fuel controversy and arguments for no reason.

We need a Jathedar of Sri Akaal Takhat Sahib - (the only Takhat of Akaal - the Timeless being - the Takhat of Miri Piri de malik Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib) who is someone like Akali Phoola Singh or any puratan Jathedars whose only request was to not give up their head while being a Jathedar. Jathedars of old did sewa and cleaned stables and did manual labor because the position doesn't make you immune from public criticism and it isn't a status, you're just a care taker of the seat and you have to earn it or be given the honor by the panth - not by Badal.

Imagine if a true Khalsa was made a Jathedar. A true Khalsa can't turn a blind eye to injustice - the currently occupied leadership in all institutions are delaying the inevitable spread of dharam.

I'd think insecurities of individuals is a big issue. When one faces criticism of a belief or idea, instead of debating/discussing (which they do not have the knowledge to do) they go for what they think is the next best thing. Fighting.

Another problem i think is trying put Sikhi into a box thus making everything black & white. We have tried to set up many moral precepts in order to do this.

Too much me,me,me,me......instead of we,we,we......which is all about ''I'', 'I am', 'I will'' ''I have'' which is 'haumai' or ego.

Then we have all the indian cultural influences that get mixed with sikhi. These are caste, money, family and everything else.

There's problems amongst the non-observant Sikhs, i.e. they simply aren't interested in living their lives according to the most basic, universally agreed-upon Sikh tenets.

Then there's the problems amongst those who DO profess to follow the faith, but push their own selfish agendas be it to generate income for themselves, or promote philosophies and schools of thought which are designed to negatively impact the faith in general. We also have a problem whereby people set themselves up as sants or babeh willy-nilly in order to dupe ignorant or naive people for varying reasons, be it to create a following and increase their name, or simply to have a steady source of income from their "flock's" charaavah.

I might add, albeit rather hesitantly, another issue I've encountered that I was hitherto unaware of is the fanatical observance of some Sikhs to their particular brand of Sikhi at the expense of the overall spirit and message of the Sikh faith itself. It comes down to ego and not wanting to lose face, thus, according to their perceptions, reducing the reputation of their particular sub-group in the eyes of all the others sub-groups. Ultimately this will prove to be the undoing of those who consider themselves the pious and "true" adherents of Sikhi. They won't notice the house burning down because they're more concerned about wishing to save each of their own rooms. It's ironic that whilst the grandees of these very same sub-groups - on the whole - appreciated the need for brotherhood and joined hands for the benefit of the greater good during less sophisticated times in history, their modern descendants (in a organisational sense) cannot see the bigger picture..

    • 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.
