I'm neither for or against Khalistan, whatever people feel is right for them then that is right!  But if Khalistan is created i think there will be a lot of hypocrisy in society, hypocrisy on the same level as our paki neighbors and there "pak" society.  In countries where religion governs the society the religious leaders rise to a very high level of power and in many cases they abuse that power! and people normally out of fear still respect these religious leaders because of the air of religiousness in society.  I'm not saying that is what a Sikh country would be like but it does happen!  A lot of people in religious garb commit every sin under the sun yet punish others for doing the same, its an age old story. 

Another thing the culture of the Northern region of the subcontinent is in conflict with the Religions that the people follow in these regions. The culture is very "macho" and rough and not in a Religious way either. North Indian culture really is not sophisticated or progressive.

For centuries the tawaifs of Benaras, now Varanasi were the most famed prostitutes in the subcontinent, yet Varanasi is one of the most holiest places in subcontinent. These kinds of contradictions exist throughout the subcontinent, especially the North. Pakistan is a Islamic Republic yet they have Heera Mandi red light district actively used in broad day light. The culture where we come from is very much in conflict with the religions that people follow, thats how contradictions and hypocrisy comes about as well. Punjab really is no different. 

I'm not surprised Southern Indians look down at Northerners tbh!

Doesn't society need a structure though? If everyone is on the same social level then how would that work? If you look at a doctors surgery then there are different people are different levels, You have the Doctor>Nurse> Assistant Nurse>Receptionists>Cleaners. They all are at a different level and you need all of them for the surgery to run smoothly, you need a hierarchy structure for society to function successfully? If everyone is at the same level then how would that work? If everyone became the Doctor(higher up in the hierarchy) then who would be the receptionists and cleaners?   I know the elite are hogging all the wealth etc    but you still do need a structure for that society to actually function. 

I guess that is what the Varna system was initially about before the Bhamans saw how they could enslave society for their benefit and turned it into a caste system.     

You need this kind of structure/hierarchy   not everyone will be at the same level!  

 

 

u need hierarchy but u also need some sort of economic equality.

u can't hv a person working in a factory earning 15000 rs and factory owner earning 500000 rs.

becoz it fuels economy inequality.

there has to be an upper limit as to what a person can earn just as we hv minimum wage limit.

Those are two different issues.

If there's no reason for anyone to accrue wealth through business (even at a reasonable level that doesn't spill over into obscenity), there will be no incentive to invest, therefore infrastructure will suffer and economic prosperity will be virtually nonexistent. It'll be another Pakistan. How is that going to benefit a fledgling country that requires serious economic injection in order to get on its feet?

We have all the examples of what works and what doesn't in this day and age. 

It's not just the system, but also the culture of the people that determines what works and what doesn't. 

For our own community, I think the american model is best. We love our independance, gun-ownership, and free markets. You get what you earn. Keeps everyone on their toes. No room for slacking for the able bodied.

China from 1949-2000 was a complete communist country and their model worked.There was less poverty,good food, health and education.

after 2000 China opened to foreign capitalists but even today it is 80% or more communist and was doing pretty good before the corona thing happened.

There was mass starvation and poverty in china until they changed their economy and started producing everything in the world this last thirty years. That and buying up land and debt all over the globe. 

They're situated very differently now, massively different, but it was at a huge cost to the environment, and their people. 

Their seat at the table was bought with slave labor for three decades, but they've produced everything the world needed for next to nothing and managed to buy themselves up and out and almost essentially in charge.

Are you kidding me? Seriously? You're using Communist CHINA as something to aspire to?!?

    • 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.
