I agree with your points you're right you should bring up kids without caste and its good you keep away from Britt asia . But these singers they have no religion in my eyes so i agree with your post

Thanks for for your reply, I feel that people should react to this sort of thing more whole heartedly. For example the meat issue raises so many questions/debates and arguments. But when someone promotes caste and then sing dharmic geet with our gurus khalsa behind them, why is it ok? Why do sikhs not condemn such people? Why do caste references have to be sung? People on the various sikh channels always say that sikhs are now united under the banner of great sikhs like Bhai Rajoana and the issue of 1984, in essence thats true because we all want these issues to be resolved, but sikhs united, really? People argue about the meat issue, when I feel the caste issue is the main problem in our kaum today. We all know that sikhi is not the harborer of caste, however we who call ourselves sikhs harbour caste and do not do enough to kick it out. People like the above mentioned do promote caste, fact! They are in the media after all! It would be so commendable if one such artist made a stand and said I'm going to stop using caste references in my songs and we sikhs need to be one kaum, one body, one khalsa, when we all really unite, there will be no issue the sikh kaum will not be able to fight and resolve!

Interesting thing about Bhangra, most of its origins seem to be from dhadhi vaar started by 6th master to instill warrior spirit in Sikhs.

Keep that perspective in mind..

Brother, I have no problem with Bhangra, my problem is with the lyrics of castes in bhangra songs at the same time showing a visual of the khalsa? My issue is with these people who are contradicting themselves by singing dharmic geet straight after. I remember Shiri Guru Hargobind Singh ji everyday, I understand why the dhadi jatha was started, so sing the sakhi's of our shaheed babeh and bibian, inspiring the sikhs! How can you compare that, to todays caste based bhangra songs? Theres no comparison. The perspective that should be kept in mind is sikhi has no caste.

WJKK WJKF,

Once again, I heard a sikh brother who greatly inspires me say on The Sikh Youth Show on the Sikh Channel on Sunday night that Diljit Dosanj is doing a great job inspiring people wearing his pag???

Is it just me? Have I gone crazy? Just because someone chooses to wear a dastar while trimming their beird, promoting caste segregation and booze and frolicking around with girls all at the same time of wearing a Kara and claiming he's a sikh....how is this inspirational? Because he's doing it with a pagg on? Is that what dastar di izhat is these days?

To me inspirational is someone like Bhai Jugraj Singh ji from basics of sikhi or Bhai Satvinder Singh and Harvinder Singh Dehli wale or K.S Makhan when he was blesse with amrit and became khalsa or even Sardar Roop Singh who won the £250k on Deal or no deal.

These silly antics by people like Diljit Dosanj should be condemned not congratulated.

I wonder if we will get another dharmic geet track out after one of his caste based films next? Something not to look forward to anyway!

WJKK, WJKF

    • 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.
