My theory is that if we could get a generation of Sikhs that strike a balance between undying loyalty for the faith and a desire to see it thrive but also possess some intellectual, big-picture qualities that translate to understanding the ground reality of human nature and how to work with it in order to achieve something positive for our people, we'd be able to move forward in a positive way.

I don't like the way the Punjabi mind works on various levels. Our intellectual growth (i.e. the ability to think clearly on an individual level, not anything to do with the intelligentsia or academics) has been retarded the more we've been weighed down among Indian life. Indian Sikhs are tainted by Hindustani thought. Western Sikhs inadvertently absorb the worst of Western thought. We become slaves to foreign thought that suggests as its subtext that we as a group don't actually matter.

The reason the brightest and best from Sikh backgrounds don't gravitate to our religious and cultural philosophy to use it as basis for living and perceiving their reality is because we currently have nothing to show for it on a temporal basis. Humans are ultimately shallow and tend to measure the value and validity of something based on its power, numbers, and popularity. Actual substance is irrelevant as crazy as that may sound. Neither the Indian and the western ways are completely useless, but we don't possess the faculties to sift through and decide accordingly. We follow too easily. When we follow people who should never be followed we end up falling farther from where we should be. It's complicated and difficult to describe because there's so much going on.

As you already probably know , history is not as simple as what is taught in history books . There are often unmentioned reasons for the way things are in the present . Why for instance did partition of 1947 only created two states and not one for a sikh ? I think its because cunning gorey always knew that these brave race who wouldn't even hesitate to sit in front of a racing train just to feed their brethren (saka panja sahib) would be a threat to their own english kingdom itself in distant future if they're provided a political autonomy .

That's where I'd disagree. That's pie in the sky thinking; a slight yet hopeful detachment from reality. You don't pose a threat to a world power, albeit one on the wane, based on the implicit promise of a group's religious scriptures. The answer to your question is simple: we were naive and not ruthless enough, maybe out of our depth, too. When Nehru and Gandhi were hob-nobbing with the English elite and marketing their independence movements with the Oxbridge brigade, where were our equivalents making the case for Sikh autonomy and our unique identity? That's your answer.

    • 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.
