Do u think geography has a role to play?

If Sikh khaarrkus had the geography like Afghanistan, things would have been completely different?

We needed power wealth. They took that away we left being foot soldiers for India and rest whilst Brahmans rules. 

Look how Jews did after the holocaust. Acquisition of resources, capital and influence, common understanding needed to power up being persecuted minority. 

Obvs in hindsight i wish Sant Ji and all Khrakus mass migrated to west after 47. Built wealth and then lobbied for Sikh nation.

Can you send links to the above two books of Sau Sakhi. Am about to start the Sikh Revolution :)

You sure you got the balls for it mate? It can get ugly.  lol

You can get them from here, but it's a good idea to check the old english translation, it's a bit wanting at places, but given it's age it still has merit:

The Taliban always received tacit support from the Pakistani intelligence services and the Pakistani establishment. 

People said similar about a few kharku groups too, until Bhutto switched it up. I think out of mujboori some might have got weapons from there. So that can't be the simple answer here.

It plays a part, just being higher up makes the oxygen thinner, which has an effect on constituency,  and walking up and down mountains in your sandles from young is great exercise.

Also lots of places to hide. But then you could say the kharkus had lots of places to hide in the khets? 

I think some races/people feel A LOT MORE anger at being invaded, and their being indignant sustains that hostility and will to fight. They simply cannot mentally accept the idea of subjugation.  I think a lot of our lot are like friendly teddy bears to outsiders in that respect. You can tell by looking at their faces. 

A few years ago I remember talking to one young Hazara refugee who lived in London (he was a bit of a lad), and he told me that in the early days (when he was child) they'd throw away the biscuits and stuff the american soldiers gave them to butter them up where they lived.

Another thing is that a lot of sullay properly accept 'the will of Allah' to stony faced degrees. I think this helps with death, or injuries (like getting a foot or hand amputated)?

Most countries gain freedom if there are big backers in the background. 

India would never had gained independence if the US never gave the UK pressure. It was in the US agenda to cut the British Empire down.

And the english basically supported the creation of parkistan. 

That agains shows how dumb our (especially rural lot) can be, in that they can't even recognise a friend from a foe.

    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
