That's fine, but if we genuinely had designs on a Sikh homeland, no Sikh country would've been possible with an 85% Muslim majority! So, what do you suppose would happen? You either throw them out or convert them. Those Muslims cheering for Ranjit Singh is irrelevant. They were still Muslims! It's actually that kind of flattery and pandering to our egos that has frigged us over time and time again. So they cheered their emancipators, big deal. How did that aid us in creating a Sikh majority state? We decided to conduct a multi-religious social experiment, the end result being made homeless in 47 and then raped and butchered in the 80's and 90's. Oh but those 19th century Muslims cheered for us back in the day(!)

Listen i duno y ur gettin all sarcastic. U sed in ur post "if anyone believes - in my hypothetical situation above - that no proud Hindus or Muslims would've resisted Sikh armies that were determined to carve out a country and kingdom for Sikhs".

I told u panjabi muslims have never been rulers of panjab or started an uprising off their own accord, so how wud they have done so under sikh ruler over time? They cant even handle sikh soldiers in ind/pak wars. U mentioning panjabi muslims cheering us, was a comment i included coz i was talkin bowt the end of the afghans. Y ur mentioning this as if its my main point, n being all sarcastic n childish, i have no idea.

Well ppl have said b4, ranjit singh shud of done mass sikhi parchar to convert non-sikhs, so we deffo missed r opportunity there.

You do know what hypothetical means? A 'what if' scenario? "Had we the numbers to really get down to business, this is what we should've done" Alternate timeline?

You're getting caught up in history. I'm telling you what we SHOULD'VE done, and you're haggling over numbers. I'm not being sarcastic or condescending. Who do you think I am, Jagsaw?

From a politics point of view, for a country to admit and apologise for any past wrong doings is a sign of weakness.

You concede on one point, what else would you concede on.

All that will happen is that the sharks will start gathering.

You can see the example of Germany. After everything that has been done during Nazi period, it has a lot of guilt which means it has lost a lot of backbone and this may have contributed in part in the problems it has today.

You can see it with Japan, they committed a lot of atrocities in their occupation period. They may not have technically apologised, but they may have conceded on other points.

But with North Korea and a resurgent China, they will have to regain their Samurai spirit.

I just dont see who they were demanding an apology from. Trudeau? Liberal Party? Trudeaus cabinet? Canada as a country? White people? This is like an innocent Muslim whos family had done nothing to Sikhs, but nonetheless got killed in 47, asking for an apology today from any random Sikh.

"blah blah blah sentiments hurt, say sorry to us :("

Okay, but this works to highlight what a55-holes whites have been in the recent past. Even more importantly, it sends a signal to more backwards Anglophile countries that still have appalling attitudes towards nonwhite migrants like Australia.

I agree with you, this is just spreading unnecessary attention to our community over an incident that hasn't affected any of us in any major way.... HOWEVER racism is still pretty rife in canadian society very recently after the Nagar Kirtan my local Gurudwara was spray painted with a nazi sign and go home....

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
