meaning is khalistan actually  not a geographic location but hearts and minds of the people of those nations .... make the Khalsa pargat and everywhere becomes the land of the khalsa  ...remember we have only our sovereign Lord above us no government

Fair enough. You should tell those who support the geographical version of Khalistan though.

I think the name "Khalistan" is a terrible choice anyhow.

It's unfortunate that the punjab didn't go to the sikhs, instead of being divided into pakistan and hindustan.  I almost think it was intentional of the British, which is odd considering how much excellent and loyal service they've received from the khalsa.

Whatever you want to call it, Khalistan etc, I think you're right that ultimately it's in the hearts of people, but man how different things could have been if the Sikh people had been given self determination somewhere.

Miri and Piri comes to mind.  Maybe one "khalistan" is in the realm of miri and the other piri.  Unfortunately one of those was denied by the ignorance of imperialists.

The events following partition have been mainly horrible on both sides, but the immediate aftermath in the Pakistan side of Punjab....man..

Whether intentionally malevolent or simply ignorant, the way the land was partitioned was tragic.

Mankind is the only being on this planet that has no right to land.   The authority that thinks it owns the land is the authority of murder and imprisonment.  When this authority does not honor the social contract and respect the rights of the people, as is pretty much the case everywhere, the physical, mental, and emotional consequences are disastrous.

But hey, it's maya right, so....of course it would be backwards, to put it nicely.

Imperialism has always  been a cancer of this world.  very few empires have any sort of good track record in terms of serving the people or by being created through any sort of consensus or collaboration of the people that have a right to life there.

From what little I know of the jatha, it seems like a fairly good way to give local people control over their lives while allowing them to participate and collaborate.  The Lakota Sioux have an initiative, made popular by Russel Means (r.i.p.).  If anyone is interested Russels Means has an excellent documentary on youtube called "Welcome to the Reservation" that I think anyone could enjoy and learn from.

Are you really basing your view on a whole subcontinent after visiting one sh!tty city?

You were in Delhi, why didn't you go? It's not far.

Will do hopefully one day. 

What I saw I did not like. Sikhs who follow alot of hinduism. Many also have to speak in the hindi language apart from a few. Who spoke in Punjabi. To be honest felt like an outsuder in dehli. Thats why cant wait to visit Punjab. Just did not feel I had any connection here. Hopefully Punjab will change my view of India.Particulaly amritsar which is my home town.

The thing is there is poverty, and other crap but its still an amazing place. Its the dharti of our gurus

It’s not the poverty I’m talking about, it’s the other things, such as no system, no respect for others, etc etc. But obviously it’s worth visiting as it’s the dharti of the Gurus and that’s the only reason I’d  go again, not for anything else.

Put all these things aside and go with an open mind.

I’m not being picky, and being brown has nothing to do with it. Like I said I wouldn’t go back for the relatives but to visit as a tourist instead. Nothing wrong in that, nobody can force anybody to stay with anybody they don’t like or have been treated badly by.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
