How Badal Took Over Akal Takht?

Can anyone tell me how the Badal government took over the Akal Takht and sent massands to take it over especially since the last Jathedar Bhai Ranjit Singh was the one who was there before Badal? Also how'd the Massands stay in power so long without anyone stopping them until recently with the Sarbat Khalsa? (I know it's changed since Jagtar Singh Hawara became the official Jathedar.)

People thought that voting for Badal would bring good things to Punjab, and they would benefit from it. But now they will realise it was the wrong choice.

I think it's more a case of a particular segment of Sikh society voting (and continually voting) him in along economic and tribal lines (the free booze up is just an extra bonus to them in my opinion). These people don't care about anything wider than that.

We'll see what happens now. Complaints about Badal and his family aren't a new phenomena btw - yet despite decades of complaining, enough landowners are loyal to him to keep him in power.

Balkaar is right. This is simply a reflection of our own current corrupted, materialistic, casteist society. No outsider bogeymen are involved. This is 100% self-inflicted.

It's like my hubby warns me ...just because a guy wears a dastar don't gullibly believe he is like you i.e. a gursikh who puts their belief into action ... I agree with him I've seen too many hypocrites amritdhari guys going out with gorian and kalian before marrying nice girls which their folks line up for them . Now you have people going out for years and then marrying...bhekhi bibian who put on a good show of piety but are dabbling in bad juju to get ahead or exploiting their daughters-in-law even getting their to marry and divorce in quick succession to gain property and money.

Everyone needs to get themselves straight before expecting anyone else to be right ...and then tread carefully , expect to be let down ...

Yep the free booze, people fall for. That's one of the reasons they get addicted to alcohol. So to buy votes, what do they use? Alcohol, and why, because they know people are addicted to it, and will vote for them. They are not exactly going to give packages they can use for the home, because then people will actually start thinking without being drunk about which party they should vote for.

Yep 100% brought on by themselves because they are so used to it, they don't want change, even if for their benefit.

Don't you ever sense that the people putting on the biggest shows of piety are usually ones who are covering up some seriously dark instincts/natures? I think often they have sociopathic tendencies.

I've met so many guys from 'respectable' families who are drug/alcohol addicts and/or shagging anything that moves. Yet they still act like butter wouldn't melt in their mouths in front of 'sangat' who lap it all up.

Yes, its normally the wealthy ones or those in power that use this acting characteristic method.

    • 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.
