Waheguru ji ka khalsa, Waheguru ji ki fateh!

Sangat ji I have had this kinda weird thought for quite some time.

I just don't believe in the idea on nations and borders. After all it's all politics. I believe they are a by-product of cultures. But Sikhi teaches to recognise the entire human race as one and the same irrespective of religion, ethnicity, race and color, and in doing so to live with peace and harmony with everyone. So IDEALLY, there would be no need for borders if everyone lives peacefully. (This has led me to not feel any sort of "nationality" for the country I live in, but that's a whole another issue) I know Utopia does not exist, but I'm almost irrationally optimistic and hence such thoughts.

I want to know if I've got something fundamentally wrong in my understanding of a nation. I'm not able to put all my scattered thoughts in a single post.

(PS. Please refrain from touching the topic of Khalistan even if it might seem relevant as this is a general query )

  I guess easier ways of learning have taken precedence. There are so many Youtube channels and podcasts available that people are more ready to listen for knowledge at their own leisure. There are so many great kathas available online that take months to listen, so that people may not really get the time to come here and write.

  *Bump The current conflict (w/ Iran getting involved) is being orchestrated by a 3rd party in my opinion. We all are going to blame the Jewish community (how they run the banks, how they are brutal and etc.) but they have a point in this conflict. As soon as people start finding about the truth that's when the real movement will begin.

  Might delay Sikhs becoming a minority in Punjab for a few more years. Do these students actually study and work in a related field after their course or is it purely for immigration?
