Recommended Posts

Are there any REAL karakoos left from the 80s/90s dont matter where, they should be interviewed and out on you tube.

Id be interested to how to know their travels where they would sleep, wash commication is another cos there were no phones seems very hard back then.

Your forgetting what happened to them.

Music was banned but obviously it was upto people if they wished to follow or not.

Seems like you all have a rose tinted view of what was happening.

How was music banned when albums and songs were made in the 80s and 90s. Chamkilla got what he did due the nature of his songs.

We are NOT some talbian who ban music.

Heres a Karakoo Saheed Singh, singing punjabi songs.

There wasn't a universally-agreed code of conduct signed by all kharkoos back in the day. The application of certain rules and systems largely depended on the particular kharkoo group's own knowledge, environment, and beliefs. Although the central aim was to keep Sikhi at the forefront of all activities and agitate those in control, the minutiae was largely left open-ended and free to interpret depending on the kharkoo group in question. That's why you've some who were dead against any type of music (i.e. what Muslims would term as 'haraam') whilst there were others who were from less stringent schools of thought who were possibly a bit more relaxed in expressing themselves.

As for the singers of that time many had to change their style and songs. Manak saab and Dilshad Akhtar used to come to the UK to record their albums.

I am related to a kharkoo who occasionally appears on Sikh and Sangat Tv.

He was and still is of the type that is against any form of music unless its dharmik.

Suppose it depends on your age group if you was around when these things happened

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
