Yes.

Basanti and surmaye is GURMAT.

So babbar akalis tying black pagh in protest  were out of gurmat 

As the thousands of taksalis and khadkus who have and still tie kesari keskis and dumalle 

While you're on it, try to get some sarab loh assault rifles

In 20th century kesri colour got infiltrated into the sikh religion by anti-sikh hindu organisations and even our nishan Sahib became kesri.

John griffiths in 1794 writes that Singhs either wear deep blue or YELLOW.

http://sikhcybermuseum.com/history/MemorandumGrifiths.htm

They never shave either Head or Beard; They sometimes wear yellow, but the prevailing Colour of their Cloths is deep blue; They make their Turbans capaciously large, over which they frequently wear a piece of pliable Iron Chain or Network.

Not just yellow. Blue and yellow. ਬਸੰਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਨੀਲਾ. The Nishan Sahib used to be (and still is in some gurdware and Dal Panth) blue after Guru Gobind Singh ji made it that way.

I think some key words are main Khalsa colors. Also key, in protest. 

I think the only problem people have with kesri is it was imposed. 

If you look at military uniforms a variety of color schemes are used depending on situation but still there is a general standard uniform and color. With other colors being variations for purpose. 

What type of dye one had back in the day was pretty restrictive. Celtic clans all had different colors in their tartans but that had as much to do with the local dye available as any meanings. 

Not sure what steel santalis are made out of. But even then does the santali have to be sarbloh or just the jacket on the projectile? Heh.

When the Turks were first coming to India they mainly wore indigo/blue as it wasn't available in their homeland. During 6 patshahi's time, sikh warriors would wear assorted colors i think

    • 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.
