Gita puts stamp on the cruel varna system!

Every civilisation has had a class/caste system. In Europe commoners were banned from wearing certain items of clothing that only the upper class could wear. Even just 50-60 years ago most sons followed the same profession as their fathers. The sad thing is that India is 50 to 100 years behind in thinking to the west in this regard today.

I think the difference is that in other cultures it was unwritten whereas in the Hindu culture it has been codified.

Brahmin varna system is evil.

It's not just about work.

Brahmin is worshipped and shudra is treated like animal.

The bible condones slavery but the westerners moved along with the times and made changes. In fact they refer to their hyper religious, following everything in the bible phase as The Dark Ages.

Has Sikhi removed the caste system? Not even close. Look at how many Gurdwaras are dedicated for separate castes. The sad thing is that casteist Gurdwaras are more prevalent in the west than in India.

Gurbani does not promote caste. Punjabis do.

On the other hand, according to some scholars gita is casteist and promoter of violence.

My main point is we don't need gita parchar from our stages.

Gita has both good and false teachings. It's kachi Bani same as bible and Quran.

On one side we hv fake missionary "scholars" who will abuse gita or anything related to Hinduism.

On the other side, we hv sampardayee gianis who hv nirmala teachers and they glorify krishan "bhagwan" and gita.

The Sangat is being misled by both.

That is because the West is a post-Christian society now.

This means that Gurbani has not been enough to remove the caste system. Something else is required then.

    • 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.
