are u suggesting , after a future nuclear apocalyptic event we would be back to conditions like 18th century ?

Again? Blasted us back further than that last time.

I think its important to read about the past, it helps people connect to Sikhi, bani instructs us to narrate the stories of our ancestors. If anything then we can take inspiration from the Sikhs of the past.

They accomplished so much in such a short period of time. Hari Singh Nalwa went from bodyguard to commander to conquering Kasur, his first victory, in just 5 or 6 years. He was 16 when he won Kasur. M.Ranjit Singh became the head of his Misl at the age of 14. While todays 14 year olds are rolling out bed at 2pm! 

We lack discipline, myself included. No sense of responsibility !

Grown men and women in their 20s,30s and 40s behave like kids and are treated /pampered like kids!

When a 6th tall grown man in his 30s, hairy as a ape, gets called a "niana" or a "bacha" and his "mistakes" and childish behavior gets dismissed with a "chal phir ki hoya, niana aa"  then there is something seriously wrong going on in the community! 

I've heard grown women in their 30s who by that age could be mothers of 5 kids, get called "nianee" 

I doubt it 16 year old Hari Singh Nalwa commanding a army of 800 soldiers was called a kid back then! 

I blame the parents for this. 

I now see grown men/women in their 40s displaying childish behavior. There are grown Punjabi men ending up in A&E because they end up doing stupid things when drunk and out of their mind. 

Sikhs had discipline in the past, structure. When asked why his army was so successful, M.Ranjit Singh said its because taking amrit installs a warrior spirit in them and that they are introduced to weapons and fighting from the age of 5!  Some of todays Sikh parents would call it child abuse.

Can you point me in the direction where bani tells us to narrate stories of our ancestors?

Ang 951, Line 5
ਬਾਬਾਣੀਆ ਕਹਾਣੀਆ ਪੁਤ ਸਪੁਤ ਕਰੇਨਿ ॥
बाबाणीआ कहाणीआ पुत सपुत करेनि ॥
Bābāṇī▫ā kahāṇī▫ā puṯ sapuṯ karen.
The stories of one's ancestors make the children good children.

Doesn't say to narrate anything
