maybe we can rope in hollywood for doing it to us . They're very good in making international level of quality work 

The cultural narrative in the West (and the world in general) is currently in a place where our history and our point of view as it ACTUALLY is (and not the Marxist-lite bastardisation that's being pushed as the norm by Western Sikhs) doesn't fit with the overall message that's being used to mold society toward a particular philosophy. It actually contradicts it in a major way. Our history is only promoted when its modified or diluted to fit an external agenda that's not even our own.

I think the biggest roadblock is that sikhi is too pristine in its message and doesn't fear either theologically or historically to tackle the state as and when required and no state finds rebellion pleasant . I think that's the crux of the issue isn't it

Okay, the Sikhs we'd get to tell the story would try to placate Hindus and Muslims in order not to offend them. It would focus on showing the Gurus as exclusively social reformers rather than divine beings. It goes back to weak Sikhs not having the courage to stand up for themselves and their history and ways. If  apne made a hypothetical film on Sikh history it would be cringe and one-dimensional with the usual Indian melodrama instead of actual themes and substance.

In some ways nothing is more deserving of film. In other ways how could it ever live up to the Truth?

Yes, that's true, bro.

    • 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.
