I think you'll find the majority will go for the glass building

agree with that.

it has been like this since Guru ji time too. majority of us choose to go with the flow. I just don't like the idea of capitalism. and maybe saying this makes me hypocritical but there's nothing wrong with having an opinion and working on it. bro

Amrit Pritam is considered one of India's greatest modern poets, and always included in lists of "great Sikh women" or "inspirational Sikh women" and the rest.

It's interesting how her most well known poem "Waris Shah" was about the horrors of the partition, in particular the plight of women. Yet in 1984 she was living in Delhi when 1000s of Sikh women were raped and Amrita didn't write a single thing. 

For someone who wrote poems and books about the struggles Indian women face, she was  very silent when it was happening at her doorstep in 1984.

Wouldn't surprise me if she was friends with members of the Congress party.

Nihang baba Joginder Singh ji Raqbe vale has done massive upliftment of the image of Nihangs as a panthic organization.

Nihang baba raja raj Singh arbaan kharbaan vale has done great work in kisan andolan and are involved in sikhi parchar in haryana.

Strengthening of nihang dals is a very good sign for Khalsa panth.

Ah hah. That's the Singh I tried to get info on in another thread. Who is this? And did he suffer a lower back injury?

That is Singh Sahib Baba Joginder Singh Ji of Budha Dal. Really big Gursikh and mahapurakh. He was actually given charge of the panth at one point. I'm not sure if he has a lower back injury though.

I could be wrong bro but I don't think lesser men would be walking. Thank you. I've seen him in some things and just couldn't place exactly who he is.

    • 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.
