So this painting has been floating around for a while, even on the forum SikhAwareness. Jvala Singh also posted an updated stating that further research is needed, we 100% cannot confirm that this is Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji Maharaj until the proper research is conducted (As explained below)

 

 

I think Jvala Singh should be careful posting these type of posts on twitter and academics should be reviewing the works of others and then putting their views across. Posting such pictures stating that two researchers of Indian miniature paintings both agree that this is likely a painting of the Guru could be viewed as at best naïve and self publicising or at worst mischief making.

Definitely. I've always thought the Mughals and the Sikhs (under Maharaja Ranjit Singh) should've been way more aware of this fact. Instead of wining and dining these Europeans under the guise of trading, etc., they should've sent their heads back to their home countries as a warning not to interfere in matters. That would've forced the Europeans' hand, and then when a hostile force would arrive by sea, the Easterners could've at least tried to destroy them before they set foot on Indian soil.

The Japanese did this and isolated themselves from the 16th to 19th century. They also killed Japanese Christians who had converted under the Jesuits priests. It was only in mid 19th century that the Western powers forced Japan to open up and trade with them and the Japanese protected themselves from colonialization by modernising their army and their industries.

What a star! Exactly what I had in mind when I made the post. Those Japs were something else.

they had the advantage of living on an island ?

the japanese were very fine people. Have u seen how dangerous katana is lol. But today their opulence is only a fraction of what once was, mostly due to the twin nuclear bombs US dropped on japan in WW2 , forever crushing their confidence from which I think the japanese have still not recovered. But Japanese had their own share of skeletons in closet, for instance massacre of chinese in Nanjing around 1937.

Yet any European arrivals into India would've still come by sea, therefore their attack would not be a secret, meaning preparations could be made on the Indian coastline to head off any sea-faring armada. 

they initially came off as submissive traders, whose only role was to make business. Hence Mughals had no issue with them. The merchant class was accompanied by christian figures , some of whom even tried to convert jahangir to christianity . One had apparently written something contemporary about the shaheedi of Guru Arjan dev ji.  So it all started with white merchants, hence it was "East India company" who first officially ruled over india

EDIT -- it were hindu dogras and britishers who colluded to overthrow our hard gained sikh empire . Gulab Singh dogra was given jammu kashmir kingdom by britishers for selling off Ranjit singh's raaj . Gulab singh dogra had looted sikh raaj treasure from lahore and brought it to his jammu kashmir. Ranjit Singh was the one who trusted gulab singh dogra who was his general and perhaps gulab singh dogar also helped expand the frontiers of sikh raaj. So ranjit singh gave him autonomy even. I wouldn't be surprised if it was at behest of such men as dogra that Ranjit singh gave huge gold donations to hindu temples. Today if you ask for autonomy in india, they give you bullets.

Should've done this to the "traders":

THIS IS PUNJAB!

    • 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.
