what happened to the Khastriyas aren't they supposed to do that for the hindus, I mean all I hear is rajput this marata that but ultimately there were more of them than sikhs so what is the excuse ?

Ksychatrias are a huge caste and among them there is huge divisions. To a Rajput a Khatri is a lower caste, to a Khatri Rajputs are lower, and both of them think Aroras are not even Ksychatrias, (even though they are), though they'd still have Rishtas among each other if no other person of their specific tribe is around. Also only Punjabi Khatris had this system, and nobody else even would consider this idea which is why that large caste is not a higher percentage; (though among all Sikhs they seem to have a relatively high percentage, as only smaller than Jaats in population).

Because India is Hindu Raj, the Hindus possess most of the power and the wealth. Greedy people will always suck up to the rich and powerful in order to acquire some of their wealth and influence for themselves - history provides thousands of examples of people strategically marrying off their daughters for the purposes of economic/social advancement. Indian Sikhs permitting the marriages of their daughters to Hindus is yet another manifestation of this universal human phenomenon. 

When Sikhs start reading Bani and actually begin to comprehend the toxic nature of maya/daulat, we'll begin to see a reversal in this disturbing trend. 

 

Very true. Religions only make progress when they can exercise political power as well. Christianity was a small sect of the downtrodden and the slaves until Constantine made it the state religion and today we have over 3 billion Christians. When the Sikhs held power during the days of the Misls and Maharaja Ranjit Singh tens of thousands of Hindus became Sikhs in order to advance under the Sikh rulers. When the Khalsa Raj was destroyed by the British, the same numbers of Hindus left Sikhi without even a second thought. 

In the 1930s and 1940s the Nankana Sahib committee along with the SGPC set up parchar centres in Western Uttar Pradesh in order to preach Sikhism to the lower castes there. In just a decade they had increased the Sikhs from 40,000 to 252,000. Then along came Hindu Raj in the form of the 'independence' of India in 1947. One the first acts of the new Hindu Rulers were to limit the  reservations given to the lowers castes to just those who were Hindus. Probably half of those who converted to Sikhism prior to 1947 in UP reverted to Hinduism to take advantage of these reservations. A similar number would have done the same in Punjab. When the Akali Dal managed to get these reservations extended of Sikh lower castes in 1956 as well the damage had already been done. 

There is no doubt that had we achieved Khalistan in 1947 probably all the lower castes of Punjab would have become Sikh unlike just 60% as is the case now.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
