Khalistan Movement

Land wise Punjab is quite a small state, Punjab is also no where close to being a industrial hub of India, only thing is the crops Punjab supplies. Apparently however India has enough reserves to last quite some while if Punjab was to suddenly cut off supplies.They have the upper hand in every shape and form. Khalistan is needed, but I feel as if we lost our chance and the possibility is gone.

KKBK Ji you are correct that east Punjab is around 1.5% of the land area of India (and Majha and Malwa the majority Sikh area's are around 1% of the land mass of India). Also you are correct that since 1980 the vast majority of new industry in the two states of Haryana and Punjab has been located in Haryana due to it's greater political stability, it's Hindu Jatt demographics and it's proximity to Delhi. It is obvious that America, Canada, Russia, Australia would support Delhi with grain shipments to gain beneficial trade deals at the expense of justice for Sikhs in the event of a unilateral food exports embargo from Punjab. It's true that we the Sikh Panth are far weaker than we were in 1984 whilst Delhi has become immeasurably stronger numerically, economically and militarily in the meantime.

The only solution to this (as armed conflict is simply not a viable option) is for us to address the issues facing us in terms of drugs, alcohol, female infanticide, caste apartheid, illiteracy, cancer and poverty immediately and thereafter grow numbers of the Sikh Panth by including as many sehajdhari non-Punjabi's within the umbrella of the Sikh Panth. Brahmins, for example are 50 million in India today (less than 4% of the population) and if we seek to broaden the population base of the Sikh Panth by re-integrating Kabirpanthi, Ravidassia, Sanatani Sikhs and others we can have a 100million Sikh population within our lifetime which would be in a far stronger position to protect it's own interests in Punjab but also push to project Sarbat da Bhala throughout India (as a larger version of Khalistan) bearing in mind that we were a 10% minority at best during Ranjit Singh's reign in Punjab.

I just don't want the atrocities to come back how it did when Pakistan and out countries split

Preeet at no point has Jagsaw argued for any violence. Sikhs are the only people in the world who have the tolerant spirit to have witnessed the desecration of our holy places and Genocide of our people but have still treated the non-Sikh minority in Punjab (which soon looks like becoming a majority by 2021) with respect. Besides the so-called Hindu's of Punjab (most of whom attend Gurdwara's) only need a bit more better engagement from us as Sikhs to realise that they are in fact sehajdhari Sikhs. I do agree that Jagsaw's blanket demonization of Hindu's as a supposedly homogenous oppressing mass of 1 billion people is highly counterproductive to Sikh interests going forward, when all oppressed Indians should be helped to realise that they are natural born Sikhs (if only we as Sikhs encourage them as opposed to alienating them).

Guru Sahib advocates kul nash - Sikhs have no caste and no race but simply are members of the one human race.

Definitely agree with your post brother, independance is at least generations away (if ever), its much more important we focus on the issues you listed. We also need to get some strong leadership in Punjab, that can provide Punjabs with a diverse economy. Leadership that can provide jobs for the youth, control our natural resources, help our farmers. If those groups were to be included in Sikhi, they'd need to conform to Sikhi, I don't know if they'd do that.

Edit: No point in arguing with Preet, maybe if she had gotten a taste of what India truly is during the 80s and 90s she'd understand. I don't know where on Earth some Sikhs draw such patriotism for India from.

Dravidians and Aryans etc are both equally Indian in India. Since when did I say Indian DNA was only exclusive to 1 DNA type?

Right, there are much too many different varieties for you to use such generalizations as 'Indian DNA'. It isn't even akin to saying European DNA. Most European DNA is quite similar, the DNA of Dravidians and their northern neighbors is completely different, they do not belong beneath the same umbrella.

Indian DNA isn't exclusive to just 1, of course it is vast! Anyone part of the 4 varnas (and are from India) in the country is Indian of course. Of course what karma was brought to them would have came to them one way or another. The only way to change your karma is to be dharmic.

Hindu varnas have no place in Sikhi. We do not acknowledge them. By that logic, Sikhs therefore cannot be Indians.

And what about the untouchables? They aren't members of any varna. If you insist that an Indian is defined as one who professes caste membership, the untouchables must not be Indians either.

    • Part of the problem is the hostilities between India and Pakistan. If the border were open, Amritsar would easily become a huge trading city. Secondly, the National Highways Authority of India is constructing a new 6-lane expressway from Kashmir, through Amritsar/Jalandhar/Ludhiana to Dehli which will be part of the Ludhiana-Delhi-Kolkatta Industrial Corridor.  Maps of the New Silk Road show Kolkata as a key part of the "road". The Punjab to Kolkata expressway and rail connections will fulfill the ability to hook up to the New Silk Road.  In addition, while crossing to Pakistan via AH1 (Asian Highway 1) is difficult, India does connect to AH1 on the other side, towards the East. Finally, Punjab can trade with the world via Mundra port in Gujurat. Rail to Mundra, then sea onwards. Dubai is very close with a free port. If you send products to Iran, there are ground links onward to Europe.
    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
    • You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.
    • The reason you don't see anything wrong with it is because like a fish in water, you grew up in Western culture and imbibed it fully. It's very difficult to for parents to inculcate traditional culture while in the West. The reason there is a problem is because a kiss between a man and wife is a sexual act (I didn't say it's coitus, but it's still sexual.) By contrast a kiss between a mother and a child, for example, is not sexual. And in our culture, sexual acts are not allowed in public. Goras do allow it. And that's also the reason they have gay pride parades now with people walking around naked with children in attendance and so forth.
