The Bharat that our people died for doesn't even exist in the modern world, when India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh would be one country, and our people wouldn't lose most of their land from Hindus and Muslims.

in that case there would have been no sikh majority punjab. Partition was painful but at the end of day both communities got benefited from it;

Don't you think Punjab could have come from sanskrit? As in Pancha means 5, and Aaap means water.. So it makes PanchAap/Punjab.

no, punjab is not Sanskrit but Persian. This is common knowledge. Sanskrit word for water is aapaH. So if it was Sanskrit it would have been PunchaapaH not matching the Persian Punjaab

Personally I don't have a problem with the Persian language. All our Gurus learned this language and used Persian words extensively in Gurbani. Especially Guru Gobind Singh Jee.

but kaur ji, it has the same meaning from sanskrit, and of course the punjabi language is also from sanskrit/indo aryan and not the iranic/dardic side.

Punjabi before Guru Sahib was only in Shahmukhi, Punjabi isn't an Indo-Aryan language which may confuse people from it's location in the world. Also the massive amount of Islamic conquests bringing their Sharia from time to time made huge impacts to Hindi, (the word Hindu is a persian word, before these people were called Sindhu, then the Persians gave the word to the conquered people the same as thieves).

Before Gurmukhi, Punjabi was written in the Landa script which was almost the same as the Gurmukhi script. The Landa script or very similarly related scripts were used all over Punjab, Sindh, Jammu and Kashmir areas. The Gurus modified it and added LagaMatra. Only the Sufi Saints wrote in the arabic script. Gurmukhi is the indiginous script of Punjab. The Devnagri and the Arabic(Shahmukhi) scripts are both foreign scripts to Punjab and surrounding areas. Only the Sikh people have enough self respect to use the indigenous script of the land.

Punjab being a formation of two Persian words Punj and Aab is common knowledge that even school going infants in Punjab know. Yet you are arguing the opposite. If Punjab is a Sanskrit word then why arent you and everyone else calling it a weird word like PunchAapaah? why is Punjab pronounced exactly like the Persian Punj aab? Due to invasions and centuries of cultural exchanges, the persian language has had a huge impact on the Punjabi langauge much like English has many French loan words

 

Punjabi was never written in Devnagri. Where did you get this info from? Have you ever read a text book on the history of Punjabi or Gurmukhi? Read about the Language politics that occurred in UP/Avadh/Bihar areas between Hindus and Muslims in the 1800s. Devnagri was an ancient script used to write Sanskrit. It was only revived during the mid 1800s by Hindu nationalists who wanted to sanskritise Hindustani while the Muslims wanted to Persianise Hindustani langauge. This resulted in the distinct formations of Hindi and Urdu.  Due to the influence of Arya Samaj, the Punjabi Hindus also began advocating Devnagri and Hindi languages.Seeing this pro Devnagri and Hindi stance of Punjabi Hindus, Giani Dit Singh of the Singh Sabha also had written a book proving their pro Hindi and pro Devnagri arguments wrong. Himachal and Haryana have only adopted Devnagri scripts recently in the past few decades. In the case of Himachal for centuries they used their own Pahari script which was related to the Punjabi Landa script. Not sprirsingly since Pahari is basically a dialect of Punjabi itself. And Haryanvi language which is similarly related to Rajasthani never had any Devnagri script.

 

 

Your arguing with someone who believes Sikhi supports the idea of Hindu rituals, is it really worth arguing her?

    • 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?
