A comment from a commenter from the below link:

"The people have been blinded by the 5 demons (Kam, Krodh, lobh, Moh, Hankaar), the seeds they sow turn to blood because of their ill gotten gains and this is what they feed to their families. Only the children can see through the cloud because their innocence has not been corrupted yet. When the lover of God (Sat Guru) blesses them with his presence he washes their sins so they can see through this cloud and leads them to follow the true path. "

Wow.

This is beautiful on all counts.

The 'Mastana Jogi' in Babur's Darbar is our own Sri Guru Nanak Dev. This song deals with the time when he was briefly captured by the Mughal Shah and forced to grind corn, pillaged from Hindustani farmers (obtained by bloodshed, ties in with the metaphor provided above), in a chakki, a small millstone. He sang the Shabad all the while, and this caught the ear of Babur, whose eyes were opened after the Guru laid bare his wickedness. The video compliments this Sakhi splendidly.

Hanji Balkaar ji this is nice, I've not been a fan of Kanwar Grewals songs, but I like this concept and has been done very well.

He seems like a decent singer. He actually said that he is a Sikh and the day he becomes a Sufi he will stop his music career. He also clarified that he's a complete believer of Sikhi and that he goes to all different religious places, but he has never bowed his head there.

Also is straightforward saying his whole look is part of his style and it has helped him become famous so he is continuing to do it. Seems like a straightforward person and artist.
