Been watching these brilliantly researched videos by respected patarkar Surinder Singh. They provide a real insight into the political ongoings,  uprisings of the Sikhs and of course treachery and injustices pre and post the events of the 1978 Amritsar Saka. Personally on the 4th video and thoroughly recommend watching.

Punjabi media likes using fancy persian words a lot. People like satinder satti. I dnt even know what she talking about sometimes.It's stupid really. 

I dnt think theres anything wrong with the photo used though. Though there are lots of photos of sant ji smiling so I'm not sure while people use the serious ones all the time.

Just one thing, why do we keep using words and terminology which belongs to another religion?

Mard e Mujahid - a Muhjahid is an Islamic warrior who takes part in a Jihad. A Jihad is a war specifically started to defend or spread Islam. The war allows loot as well as enslavement of women and children as well as rape. WHY THE F&&& are we using these terms which are totally counter to what Santji was doing? If a western non-Sikh was to see that picture he would automatically associate Santji with ISIS or the Taliban. We are the worst at shooting ourselves in the foot. Also using terminology that is not a part of our religion and language shows lack of self confidence in our own religion and language. There are a number of terms in Punjabi that could be used to replace Mard e Mujahid. 

One of many subtle yet ultimately significant issues that we neglect because we just lack the intelligence to assess the bigger picture and analyse things beyond our narrow perspective.

I feel in this particular situation of the videos being discussed above, to offer the opposing argument for a moment, Guru Gobind Singh Ji was an enthusiastic proponent of the Persian language, and I think that's maybe used as a justification for some contemporary Sikhs continuing that tradition in various aspects of their own discourse. I think it's a way of honouring and respecting Guru Sahib's tastes. But as you said, taking into account the world we live in and the negative optics for our cause that using Islamic language would have for our own interests, we should be smarter when making these decisions.

I'm constantly exasperated at the insular understanding Indian-resident Sikhs possess, in as much as how they fail to understand the impact of the non-Sikh wider world and how it impacts on Sikh issues. Nothing occurs in isolation.

    • 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.
