Nirvair Khalsa Jatha

Does anyone know what the outcome of the police investigation was?

Or whether it's even been concluded?

I have no idea but they have started posting on their Facebook page again after a few months.

Last i heard he was questioned by the police and released on bail but as with all things i would make sure you have a pinch of salt ready (so to speak).

I noticed that too, that's why I thought it better to ask everyone if they knew something that we don't. I've got no personal beef with them and I'm not a fan. But for the sake of youth parchar I hope this is resolved properly and put to bed.

"youth" ?

"put to bed" ?

Given the allegations and circumstances, probably not the best choice of words !

Is this jatha under the AKJ umbrella, or have they splintered off? Tough to keep up with these developments.

They imitate some of the practices of the Jatha, notably Saas-Giraas Simran and Rehansbhais, but they've never been a limb of the AKJ.

They seem to draw their influences from quite a few of the older traditions within Sikhi, particularly the Sants.

LOL

This whole samasya seems silly.. That's why I don't prefer talking to people.

im not anti social but I'm anti i.d.iot lol. I don't know who is an i.d.iot or not so I just keep my distance.

Oh I see. I'm assuming the sant figurehead they pay obeisance to is Baba Ranjit Singh? Or am I off-target with that one?

They strike me as a hybrid of quite a few groups as you mentioned, notably AKJ and Nanaksar.

No you're bang on, Baba Ranjit Singh is particularly well regarded, if the NKJ can be said to belong to any Jatha it would be his.

They wear the garb of the Nihang Singhs, perform Kirtan in the manner of the AKJ, and Katha in the manner of the sants/nanaksar. They're like a Sikhi potpourri.
