Should we choose a faction or remain factionless

[singhbj singh]

Should sixteen-year-olds select a faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives after taking an aptitude test.

Daas watched the movie a long time ago, and apparently main person had the unique test results of being multiple castes, (equivalent to Brahmin, Khatri, Shudra, Vaish), but according to Gurmat each human is allowed to do whatever they want, not be obedient to a caste, but liberation from it. A Sikh is higher than the highest caste,

Factions can also be based on virtues like

Daya, Dharam, Himmat, Mohkam, Sahib 

Or

Ajit, Jujhar, Zorawar, Fateh.

It is not possible for an individual to have all these qualities.

In order to become an expert we choose academic subjects same principle should apply to virtues.

I lost interest after the second book in all honesty, Seems like there's a nice trend going on in post-apocalyptic society based books. Makes me wonder if people are finally thinking a bit.

Your going to make a new caste system, with the names of Gursikhs? Also for the 4 Hindu Varnas a person can easily be getting knowledge, (Brahmin), be physically fit, (Khatri), have a business, (Vaish), and clean their homes, (Shudra). Ajit and Fateh mean the exact same thing. Zorawar is a word meaning strong, and Juhajar means Shastardhari. (They all can easily be interconnected). And it is possible for someone to have the Punj Pyare qualities, (actually all 15 Bhagats would probably have all 5 qualities).

Humanity is interested in dystopian worlds for some reason, (The Hunger Games series were also popular among people who had an interest in these sad worlds).

you would be incomplete if you only have one aspect ... why divide what is naturally there in all as you progress?

Why are you guys so obsessed with caste.

This topic is not about caste based divisions 

"Faction before blood/lineage"

It is about choosing a particular stream.

Like joining Akhand Kirtani Jatha to learn Kirtan or studying Santhiya from Damdami Taksal or learning Martial Arts from Nihangs.
