Yeah Nau Nihal Singh would have been great, he was like his grandfather, which is the reason why he was murdered.

He was murdered by the dogras. That day is quite well documented. When the stone fell on him he got up and was absolutely fine. He then was escorted to his room by servants and the Dogras. Later on in the day he was found dead with blood all over him and the servants which escorted him to his room were found dead. 

Other than the Dogras and the servants who were murdered, no one knew what happened in his room.

Some British were there and they wrote that after the stone hit his head he was escorted to his room by some servants and the Dogras. Dogras then didn't let anyone in the room because Nau Nihal Singh had to "rest" after the stone hit him. Some time later he was declared dead.

Other than the British, other people present at the time wrote the same thing.  

I hope he wasnt exactly like his grandfather lol 

His wedding was likely one of the most extravagant weddings in history

And indirect cause of sardar hari singh Nalwa death as he had to send a large contingent for protocol at the princes wedding in 1837 which left them quite weak in the jamrud northwest front 

Do you know why chand kaur didnt like her son? 

And wasnt Kharak singh a opium addict etc so nihal singh should be appreciated by chand kaur

I've never heard of Chand Kaur not liking her son ...   He was quite popular among the Sikhs. He donated a lot at Tarn Taran Sahib darbar sahib. He got the gate built and a burj built at corner of the sarowar, he was going to get more work done but died. 

Yeah Kharak Singh was crap, he was heavily addicted. Some accounts say that he was poisoned and murdered and that his own son played a role in poisoning him. Though Kharak Singh was still officially the Maharaja, he was actually dethroned and kept in a room with one of his loyal courtiers (forgot his name)  This courtier was murdered by one of the Dogras. Kharakh Singh was then slowly poisoned to get him out of the way. While all this was all happening Nau Nihal Singh was basically running everything, little did he know that his own murder was being plotted as well! 

When Hari Singh Nalwa and Maharaja Ranjit Singh took over Kashmir from the Afghans, Kharak Singh also took part as well, So he started of good, but he later became addicted to opium.  

 

Its all very interesting though isn't it lol     every empire/dynasty had a lot of drama and traitors.

yeah about naunihal singh being called chuhr singh by his mother, it might be out of adoration lol that some scholar misinterpret as contempt 

dug up some history, and maharaja ranjit singh's nanaji's nanaji was apparently named chuhr singh

he was a bhullar jat of mandi, who married off his daughter agan to sardar sukh chain (son of tilokha, grandson of chaudry phul, therefore a cousin of baba ala singh phulkian)

that couple had three sons, all which had their geneologies and sardaris, of which raja gajpat singh became ruler of jind and married off his daughter raaj kaur to sardar charhat singh's son sardar maha singh, and she bore maha singh a son who we all know 

so chuhr singh might not even be a bad rep, maybe he started sweeping the floor as a child or something lol and he started getting called chuhr singh 

I am sure she held her son dear since her husband kharak singh was so wack of a addict to opium

Lesson in that. When you drink poison, you can't tell someone else is poisoning you. 

I can't even fathom such a habit or shaunk

having pearls crushed into your drink, like why would you do that? don't know whether to laugh or pity

My guess would be that it was some misguided foolishness that supposed that the properties of the pearls were somehow beneficial to health when imbibed this way?

I heard that there was some really great Chinese king who would have a type of ladhu made up with mercury within, because they believed it was some elixir of youth, ironically it probably actually sped up his death.

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
