  • The title was changed to Farming on Baba Nanak's land begins in Pakistan

The historic Gurdwaras left in Pakistan have tens of thousands of acres of land attached to them which the Pakistan govt leases out for a pittance preventing the proper utilisation of the income by the Sikhs of Pakistan. 

The original Nankana Sahib estate which included the Gurdwaras and other urban properties in the town as well as agricultural land around it was over 17,000 acres in total, some of which had been taken over by the British government for public use such as the land on which the Nanakana Sahib railway station and railway track was built. In 1926 over 16,000 acres passed into the hands of the the Nankana Sahib management committee which included Sikh members from the districts around Nankana Sahib as well as members nominated by the SGPC. This committee was one of the most proactive and forward thinking committee which between 1926 and 1947 built from the income from the Gurdwaras and the lands attached to them the Khalsa College in Mumbai, two schools and a hospital in Nankana Sahib. Other projects they established was the Shaheed Sikh missionary college in Amritsar in memory of the martyrs of Nankana Sahib, as well as Sikh missions in Hapur, Bulandhahar in UP and Kangra (now in Himachal Pradesh)

    • 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.
