Absolutely bro. No argument here as to who our Mother is. I appreciate you having answered.

I thought we were back to calling her Mata Sahib Devan, as I hear this name used more and more these days. I wonder when the name Mata Sahib Kaur was first used, it was probably colonial times I am guessing.

I remember that Guru Hargobind's wives were called mehls.

I remember that widows were remarried, and Singhs married women that couldn't go back to their families after being rescued from the Afghans.

If the polygamy exists in puraatan sikhs, then it exists in modern sikhs as well lol Didn't the Patna Sahib jathedaar try something like this? It still existed in some Maharajas in Punjab in the last century.

How do lions do it again? Har har.

Yes but the list continues, and includes a girl he married only to protect her from others.  There is a different name for it, it's not Mehla. 

I don't have to be the one to rip off the colonial bandaid and tell you that a specific and rightous version of polygamy exists in Purtan Gursikhi do I?

Total side note, what's the name for when you "marry" a sister so she gets the protection of your house but isn't really a wife? Like Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaja had?

Back in the olden days when ppl kept their word and ppl believed in a person word. And there were ppl of anakh. There was dharm di bhain. Or dharm da bhra. Sister of the faith. Brother of the faith.

It features in many olden stories. You just say this person is my sister. And she could live with you and people respected her as your sister. 

In fact, we have 'relatives' that are a tarkhaan family even though we are Jats. Because our great grandfather was Paghvat Bhra of their great grandfather. So the two families still visit etc.

Ah hah. I had the context a bit wrong, but here it is. Crazy how we were just talking about this, it isn't out at that point, but it has to be planned already, she knows she's going to cover this topic right, and then you know a few days after we're talking about it here, boom it's on YouTube, I mean talk about service.
