Veerji it was purely for food in times of war (or to defend the community from a predator) with the incidental side benefit of sharpening military skills.

Hunting was never done for entertainment. The lie that Sikhs hunted for pleasure was invented by our enemies to portray us as debauched.

Is killing house mice, rats or rodents bad? I can see many gurdwaras have mice traps these days most establishments have taken to that. How about killing snakes and scorpions who are poisonous? How about flies who walk on feces and then come into kitchens to infect foods with bad strains of viruses, is killing flies bad, if you don't and own a restaurant you can get in trouble with health authorities.

Most the hunting were those who terrorised villages like lions who came in killing people. The deer killing seems difficult to talk about because deers don't terrorise but their meat is usually for spoils to eat. The predominant don't eat meat stand comes from nanaksar who equally call religions like islam and christian good and equal revelations of god which promote eating meat, so it goes against nanaksar saying don't eat meat, if they feel the haddiths, quran and bible are revelations of god then god has allowed eating of meat. I've heard some of the pro nanaksar guys say it's okay to eat meat if you are a sant because sants have the power to even eat melted iron. Some view it as giving bad karma but it goes against them preaching texts which are considered perfect revelation to eat meat.

The taksal rehat is usually discussed as the difference between those who do bhagati as a sampayda and those who take on dharam yudh marayada who are then allowed to eat meat in war.

Leaving aside any esoteric interpretations and perspectives, why did the purataan Khalsa hunt?

Hunting was always done by the warrior traditions.

Only the khalsa Sikhs that were active and training, participated in hunting.

Shooting your actual arrows with precision on moving targets which are alive not only trains your aim and nishana but it also builds up that inner courage and strength required to 'KILL' a live opponent. We have to remember that a khalsa Sikh fights for righteousness and against tryranny without any feelings of anger and hate.

We can sit at home and play with the nintendos and playstations for improving our own target practice, but shooting down a deer on the screen is no where near the real life situation no matter how good the visual and sound effects may be.

This was just the first part of hunting itself and then comes the jhatka. An arrow or spear can be used to strike the animal so that it slows down but then it will still be alive unless you embed a loud more of sudden arrows into the heart. However, to take it down and kill it for once the jhatka strike on the neck is used.

Another reason for doing jhatka on the goat and deer is because it involves the same strength and force as would be required to take off a human head !

I hope we can understand that this Hunting was NOT for sport as done by the rich country snobs, but it was clearly to help strengthen character and warrior skills.

Does an animal feel any pain in jhatka as muslims claim? The medical perspective would be good.

No, it does not. In fact halal can be more painful !

I wrote a lengthy article on some other thread about the physiology and scientific aspects with regards to jhatka over halal, and no doubt I clarified that jhatka is NOT more painful.

I really cannot remember what thread it was but perhaps someone may find it !

    • First thing, these types of situations aren't anything new to the panth. Second thing, if we don't do different moves to previous ones, how can we expect outcomes to be different? Plus, if he's put his head up above the parapet like that, I'm sure he full well knows where it can go.  I'm sure he's not naive.    They should break out all those people who have been imprisoned for Waheguru knows how long, well after their sentences were completed. Actually that should have been done a long time ago. 
    • Hello everyone! Its a been a minute...How you been? Guess i am back because H*ndus are out full force wanting to k*ll Sikhs ..... We are facing turmoil.... Meanwhile on twitter they going insanse with their genocide threats memes etc I dont even know anymore what there is left.....sick and tired facing injustices  Either Amritpal will be k*illed of or an 'accident' like Deep Sidhu  Its insane last 3 years have been like we are in the same ditch cycle  @dallysingh101 @californiasardar1 @Kaurr @MisterrSingh (and rest i can't remember)
    • There is a lot of false media , false allegations , false whereabouts of Bhai Amritpal Singh. A person who has taken a step , to devote is life in helping :- 1. Those who on drugs 2. A lifeline for those Mothers who see there children ,dosed up in Drugs  3. Telling them to take amrit , do meditation , do seva , read gurbani 4. Stand up for your rights 5. Get together as a kaum  6. Speaking up against atrocities carried out on the minorities   He is deemed as a threat to Punjab , for his actions . How low can the Police , MPs, the leadshership in India go . They are very threatened by Bhai Amritpal Singhs mindset , a mindset to free the Sikhs , and unravel the corruption behind Indias politics.  May waheguru keep Bhai Amritpal Singh in chardikala and give him strength to fight against injustices and wake up the Kaum worldwide regardless of ones background.  
    • There's bus service called Indo-Canadian operating from Delhi to main cities of Punjab (like Ludhiana). Never tried it but I know people who have and heard it's quite safe and stops along the way at restaurants. From Ludhiana, you can take a local bus to Moga city and book a hotel (don't know much about Punjab hotels as I never stayed in one). You can book online for the bus.  I've travelled to Punjab for a long time, as a local of that area, it's perfectly safe. Just take normal pre-cautions. Local shop food in Punjab is safe to eat if you can handle oil, masala's, etc.  You don't have to worry about being targeted because of being Sabat Soorat. Seen plenty of Sabat Soorat men and Nihangs and no one targets them. Police are not an issue, they don't bother anyone whose trying to get by their life normally. You can keep a few hundred rupees in your pocket just in case you do get into trouble with them in an unlikely incident.  To blend in, Try to dress like a local. Wear a white Kurta-Pajama or simple western clothing  Pretend you're just visiting from another Indian or Punjab city (don't tell people you're from abroad as you can get overcharged for cheap things) Communicate in local Punjabi as much as possible or speak in an Indian accent if you can't. But some NRI's have accents that give it away easily.  Bargain when you're buying things (apart from food places or if the shop specifically says "fixed price"). Bargaining is great and you can bring down the price by half.  Lastly, just enjoy your stay, there's a lot of history to explore in Punjab too apart from the mainstream/popular places like Wagah border, Harmandir Sahib or Chandigarh.
