Recommended Posts

Guest Jacfsing2

This was his 'reply' to the simple question:

Daily Sikh Updates Video Link

Request to Moderators and Administrators to please pin this thread for maximum awareness as this is very important piece of information for Sikhs - especially who are living in the USA.

He never addressed the issue of Sikhs, (or other religious minorities in America).

He said he is for supporting minority rights clearly in video. Like I said previously only victim mentality and self hate is making punjabis think Trump and right is against them. Salute to Lt Murphy.

It's the hippy "Sikh" orgs that always bend to islamist apologist propaganda that spread fearmongering and victim mentality. Saying that I'm still pretty liberal myself but I would like to think I'm independent in my thinking.

If Hillary is the nominee I am actually probably going to change my vote to Trump unless it's Bernie.

No he did not. He said (after he was reminded the other part of the question towards the end) he would like to?? but this (banning certain sect into the country) needs to be done first and is more important.

You are free to vote whoever you want to but I need to warn you to mind your words 'Mister'.

Even a child can conclude from the video that he did not intend to answer the simple question put forward by the brave police officer.

What I read from watching the above:

Trump realises that the anti-immigrant rhetoric is a vote winner with masses of white people and some (to me) strange ethnics themselves. I feel that white people are going through a strange, unprecedented stage right now, as their political, economic and military hegemony (previously driven by currently shifting demographic factors) has been challenged (globally) for the first time in centuries. I see (some) parallel between Hitler's promises of making Germany great again after the knock Germans felt from WW1 and a yearning by (maybe excessively?) proud people feeling insecure at change that isn't moving in their favour for the first time in living memory.

Trump (or should we say Drumph?) seems genuinely focused on taking on Islamist fundamentalism (with other people's children of course), and judging by the language he uses when talking about this (hats off to him for being honest about it), he is planning on doing this very brutally and heavy-handedly - freely using fear tactics and blunt instruments (including torture), both at home and abroad. He wants a well armed white population emboldened enough to take on jihadis at street level if required. Essentially, a government level thumbs up to vigilantism. I don't think he is under any illusion about what this will mean at ground level. That's why he didn't directly answer the question posed to him about safeguarding potentially vulnerable minorities - instead, we should read inbetween the lines perhaps? He is planning on making an omelette (as they say), and you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Some of those eggs will inevitably be Sikh.

To me, it seems like the writing is on the wall for US Sikhs if he becomes POTUS. I suspect the more combative (right wing) elements of other European countries will also get emboldened with any stories that emerge of 'jihadi take downs' from America. A lot of hate filled, supremacist white people will probably use that type of atmosphere to try and throw their weight around too.

American Sikhs (like all Sikhs right now) could do with some toughening up right now, instead of demoralising everyone by looking like vulnerable, victims in the event of an increase in violence in their midst.

What was so brave of the officer asking that question? It's not like he was on the battle field fighting ISIS. What was the threat here? Leftists are 'professional victims'. OMG, he didn't answer the question so he must Hitler reincarnated! LOL!

Why must Trump even answer this silly question? He has never attacked Sikhs so what is the point of the question in the first place? It was obvious they were desperately trying to set Trump up, always trying to paint him as a racist but nothings sticking.

My gut instinct tells me that if he gets the nomination he is going to win and win very big. He will get a lot of cross over votes from Hispanics and other minorities.

You jumped the gun. He was almost fatally wounded after saving the lives of many Sikh Americans in a terrorist attack on American soil.

He is the definition of a hero.

That's the thing though: What Trump might actually end up doing is implicitly okaying redneck types to be trigger happy against perceived 'terrorists'. You know this will be based on stereotypes.

Are the people most likely to get fired up by Trump, the same that would naturally find themselves on the side of white supremacist terrorism?

Anyway, good luck to you yankee Sikhs, whatever else you do, don't act like giddars.

Last time I checked Trump didn't support the war in Iraq which destabilized the Middle East - he has only spoken out against Islamic immigration, not because he's racist, but because of the problems that are unfolding around the world with extremist attacks. He has said A LOT of dumb things, but what you see is what you get with him. Hillary, on the other hand, is a very conservative liberal who flip flops if it will make her seem better to the general, uninformed public. If you've followed this election, you'll see that Hillary has evolved into what she is now by BLATANTLY copying everything that Bernie Sanders is saying.

Currently the only anti establishment candidates are Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump - neither will cater to Israel lobbyists. This is the reason why both of them are being vilified in the media, but Trump is a bit more because he doesn't know when to shut up lol. Also, who said he wants a "white population emboldened to take jihadis at street level if required?" That seems like plain fearmongering - I live in a relatively conservative part of a liberal state and it's very easy for a law abiding Sikh American to get a concealed weapons permit for various handguns and there is no bar to obtain firearms and conservatives want to keep it this way for law abiding/respecting citizens. I've seen various gunpages of rightwing conservatives who also have posted Sikh identity awareness posts after racist Trump supporter attacks on Sikh Americans.

The reason why Trump is parading the flag against political correctness is because fake liberals like Clinton have failed to address the extremist problems which we all know ends up imploding - the UK and europe are a good example of this.

Not true at all - most Caucasian gun owners that I know and have met are very respectful and are more knowledgeable than the stereotype makes them out to be. That's just plain wrong and they have no problem with other law abiding citizens with arming themselves either...

No he did not. He said (after he was reminded the other part of the question towards the end) he would like to?? but this (banning certain sect into the country) needs to be done first and is more important.

He answered the question in the end and the way he answered it made it very clear that's a given for him. I am unapologetic about my wording because I'm referring to those who host Islamo"phobia" conventions - namely because of this article:

If what you are saying is true then I have to conclude that today's US Sikhs are a bunch of cowardly giddars. But I have to factor in that you are talking as someone coming from a self-admitted liberal area yourself. Maybe you aren't too clued up about the less liberal areas?

I know if the UK didn't have so many cameras all over the place, there would be a hell of a lot more violent race attacks. I know from years of experience that when the right wing start to gain acceptance the intimidation and violent attacks on nonwhites (on a street level) increase.

Btw, can you tell me why a lot more Sikhs don't arm themselves given what you are saying? I tried to ask Jacfsingh a few months ago and he just ducked the question. Are they scared?

See, with this you've just confirmed what I said Trump is likely to cause.

It's not 'political correctness' that caused this: it's faffing around in other people's countries on false premises - which Blair and Bush initiated. Then Cameron started playing kingmaker in the middle-east too.

And I would know more about this than you, I live here, in a capital city too - not a backwater.

    • WJKK WJKF Sangat Ji, I bought a brand new medium Artisan Kirpan (8.7 inches) from https://thekhalsaraj.com/products/black-g10-ultra-durable-kirpans 2 months ago, and it is in unused condition. I bought it 2 months ago and it is in unused condition, with everything that came with it still fully sealed. I even paid extra to get it ੴ ਸਤਿ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ  laser engraved on the blade. This cost me £370 including shipping from the USA. It is in brand new condition, but I no longer need it since I have been gifted a new Buddha Dal-made Pesh Kabz for free. I am selling it for £250 even though it is in brand new condition - it is a first-hand Kirpan. From the official website, it costs £370. The handle is indestructable G10 fiberglass, wielded to a razor sharp blade (edge and tip) which is engraved with the custom Gurbani. Please reply if any Singh/Kaur here would like to buy it - it's 100% first hand but £120 reduced price. Includes a an embroidered padded case for airport travel, a blank certificate of ownership, maintenance brochure and a beautifully decorated black/grey adjustable Gatra.   I sent this advert out to a few places, and also asked some retailers if they'd like it, so it may go soon. Please do reply if anybody is interested, more than happy to answer questions too! (Note: the pic is from Google but is exactly what the Kirpan and Gatra both look like - the one I have is still in the packaging).

    • WJKK WJKF! How long will this forum remain online for in a readable & accessible state? It appears susceptible to shut-down. It would be a shame if all the forum's content from over the decades is lost in such an event due to servers hosting this forum shutting-down. This forum, whilst not currently active, remains an important repository of the Sikh religion online. It also is a fundamental aspect of Sikh cyber culture that existed from the early Internet period from the 2000's to 2010's before the domination by big social-media sites that consolidated the community. Thus, have the web-masters of this forum considered archiving this forum's contents before it is lost forever? I can assist you in this by saving the content to the Internet Archive on your behalf. Please let me know your thoughts about such an endeavour and I hope you may consider the possibility of archiving the forum for posterity. Future generations of Sikhs and Sikh researchers will be grateful. Kind regards, Theth Panjabi (you can find me on IG at theth.panjabi and on X/Twitter at ThethPanjabi)
    • Video on the tale, gurdwara, and manuscript: link As the story goes, during the Vadda Ghallughara genocide against the Sikhs perpetrated by the Afghan Durrani Empire on 5–6 February 1762, not only were Sikh lives lost, but our original Damdami Sahib Bir recension was also lost in that carnage. However, over the years I have spent researching our history, many claimed it was taken back to Afghanistan by Ahmad Shah Abdali's troops as loot whilst others said it was secretly hidden somewhere by the Singhs for safe-keeping. As of today, it remains untraceable and I presume it is gone for good. However, I came across a couple of articles stating that there were actually around five master-copies of the original Damdami Bir, with one of these copies being safeguarded by the jatha of Bhai Sudha Singh of the Shaheedan Misl. "It is said that the tenth Sikh master Guru Gobind Singh had got five birs written at Damdama Sahib. The bani (writings) of the ninth Sikh master Guru Tegh Bahadur were incorporated in these birs. These five birs were given to different jathas (groups) of Sikhs by Guru Gobind Singh to be safely installed. One bir was being taken by Sudha Singh who was leading a jatha of 19 Sikhs, when Abdali'[s] forces stormed Kup-Rohira and killed thousands of Sikhs. Though all 19 Sikhs were massacred by Abdali, Sudha Singh somehow brought the bir to Kuthala. Since then it has been kept at village gurdwara." (Times of India, 2012) The gurdwara today [Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Sudha Singh Ji in Kuthala] has a certain historical manuscript that they claim is one of the five master-copies of the Damdama recension. You can see close-up shots of the bir in the video posted. I will also share close-up images of its folios in the comment section. I will also provide a faithful English translation of the video's narration so non-Punjabi speakers may benefit from this post. I will leave the question on whether this bir is authentic or not to your judgement but I will provide my own analysis below.   English translation of the video's narration: The Guru-form Guru Khalsa Holy Congregation (Sadh Sangat) Ji, Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. The Gurdwara Sahib that the congregation is currently beholding is situated in Village Kuthala, near Malerkotla, in the Sangrur district of Punjab. A very great treasure is preserved within this Gurdwara Sahib. The history of this Gurdwara Sahib is very closely related to the Vada Ghalughara (The Great Holocaust) that took place in February 1762. Baba Sudha Singh Ji, the third head of the Shaheedi Misl, arrived at this location considering it a safe place. He brought with him that sacred holy scripture (Saroop) which the Tenth Father, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, had personally dictated to Bhai Mani Singh Ji on the holy land of Damdama Sahib. Upon arriving, he personally performed the last rites (cremation) of 19 martyred Sikhs at this site. As he prepared to leave to take command of the Jatha (the Sikh contingent), the sacred holy scripture he had brought was enshrined at this very location. At that time, this place was known as Dera Jaga Sidh, but nowadays, a very beautiful building stands here in the name of Gurdwara Sahib Shaheedi. The sacred holy scriptures that were enshrined at that time are today ceremoniously displayed (Prakashwan) with great respect every Channi Dashmi (the tenth day of the bright lunar fortnight) for the congregation to behold. Devotees from within the country and abroad arrive to catch a glimpse of these sacred scriptures and receive the Guru's blessings. Every year, an annual Gurmat Samagam (religious congregation) is held for five consecutive days in memory of the martyrs of the Great Holocaust, concluding on Magh Sudi Dashmi. Furthermore, a book containing the full detailed history—titled after Shaheed Baba Sudha Singh Ji and the Hand-written Holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji—was released in February 2013 by the managing volunteers based on historical research. It was released by the 14th head of the Shaheedi Misl, Singh Sahib Baba Makhan Singh Ji (the current head of Baba Bakala Sahib), the Meet Jathedar Singh Ji, and Sant Gurdev Singh Ji of Anandpur Sahib (the current head). The congregation can obtain spiritual benefit by reading it. Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.   My analysis: In my humble opinion (which may be incorrect), this bir is not a master-copy of the Damdami Bir. It more closely resembles the highly-decorated birs of the Kashmiri-style that were created during the reign of the Sikh Empire in the first half of the 19th century. We can see this bir has highly illuminated and illustrated angs (folios), which took the great skill of a master artisan to make, which required resources to pay and patronize. Usually, the manuscripts during the Sikh Empire were the most elaborately decorated, as this was when the Sikhs were at a high-point, masters of the land, possessing vast amounts of resources that they could use to fund such endeavors. Therefore, whilst the story may be true and a master-copy of the Damdami Bir recension may have once been at this location, I am not convinced that this particular manuscript is it. I may be mistaken and I am open to constructive criticism. 1633648456_GurdwaraHistory.mp4
