Not had time to see the clip, but if I am correct he was sent to Singapore as a prisoner. 

He was the first Sikh in Singapore in 1850.

Nearby where he was a prisoner is Silat Road Gurdwara. The oldest gurdwara in Singapore which was open in the 1880s I believe.

Yep  that's the one one

Here's a picture of some items of the 'Bhai Maharaj Singh Collection' in the British Library. I think goray took these things off him when they shipped him off to Singapore. Notice the flat karas. This was the best image I could find and it isn't exactly great.

I tried blowing up the chitti in Paint to try and read it but it was too pixelated to make sense of.

was actually watchin somethin a few days ago that touched on their life.

apparently jus 30 minutes walkin/exercise everyday wudve relieved the cancer/illnesses. says somethin wen whitey still feared this sher even in their 70s/80s.

y r these baaghi soorme still largely unknown to the masses? they deserve a lot more recognition.

heres anotha vid. shows his real life portrait, the gurdwara in singapore today n the family lineage still alive.

theres dispute over the name of singapore but its fittin that the name as we knw it means city of lions.

the shastar in the video r flat n thin too.

wonder whether material was at a  premium or more difficult to obtain under colonial rule hence the razor sharp ones?

nice video,  great to see his descendants are Singhs. The Singh with the blue dastar actually looks similar to the painting of Bhai Maharaj Singh

    • 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.
