Recommended Posts

Who were/are the biggest traitors of Sikhi and Sikhs? betrayal and traitors exist in every religions/cultures history and Sikh ithiaas has seen many traitors 

The first one that comes to my mind is Gangu, in Sikh ithiaas the name Gangu is synonymous with traitor.

name more and briefly say why

The Dogras. Maybe not in a purely Piri sense, but certainly from a Miri perspective the affects of their treachery arguably echo to this very day.

'arguably'......

It's hard to find another example of such a hard fought for and earned sovereignty being betrayed so treacherously. But then again, are the brits any less culpable given their own treacherous nature and willful and opportunistic disregard of treaties they sign?

I posted a link to J. D. Cunningham's book a few weeks ago, and he himself (who fought in the anglo-Sikh wars) was obviously seriously troubled by the actions of his own team in these conflicts, so this isn't a new idea.

Yes the Dogras.  Gulab Singh (1792–1857) was the founder of royal Dogra dynasty and first Maharaja of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, the second largest princely state in British India, which was created after the defeat of the Sikh Empire in the First Anglo-Sikh War. The Treaty of Amritsar (1846) formalised the sale by the British to Gulab Singh for 7,500,000 Nanakshahee Rupees of all the lands in Kashmir that were ceded to them by the Sikhs by the Treaty of Lahore.

What about Lal and Tej Singh? 

Cunningham seems to have highlighted them as paid traitors too?

S. Chattar Singh’s letter explains Raja Lal Singh’s conduct:

An excerpt available from one of the letter written by Sardar Chatter Singh Attariwala reiterates the treacherous conduct of Raja Lal Singh during the First Anglo Sikh War. He writes:

“The Sikhs twice gave battle to the English and the
heat of the fight may be imagined from the fact that thousands
of men have been killed from either side in the action. But Raja Lal Singh, the Commanding Officer, fled away from the field. This caused a great panic among the fighting Khalsa. But still some of them have taken oaths to persevere and are fighting. By the Grace of God, Victory shall soon be ours.” [1]

yes they were behind it too. weren't they some how related to gulab singh dogra?

Yeah, I think they were at least clan kinfolk.

“Never did a native army having so relatively slight an advantage in numbers fight a battle with the British in which the issue was so doubtful as at Ferozeshah and if the victory was decisive, opinion remains divided as to what the result might have been if the Sikh troops had found Commanders with sufficient capacity to give their qualities full opportunity.”

The Sikhs and The Sikh Wars, p. 42. By General Sir Charles Gough and Arthur D. Innes

Raja Lal Singh or Lal Singh Dogra was the commander of Sikh Khalsa Army forces during the First Anglo-Sikh War. Along with Tej Singh, Lal Singh betrayed the Sikhs during the course of the war. Lal Singh was regularly supplying information and even receiving instructions from British officers.

British battle records also state that Lal Singh betrayed his Sikh army. During the war, he had continuous correspondence with a British officer, Major Nicholson

    • 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.
