The bhai kanhaiya syndrome is an excuse. The real reason is societal acceptance from the majority of the world population who are either Christian,Muslims or Hindus. It is the same reason they say all religions lead to God. They are scared of being alienated from the world majority by acknowledging their paths are false. That is why they try to not offend people from different religions even in Sikh spaces or even try to appease LGBTQ people. If Sikhs had a state of their own which was well developed and political power they would not act like this to such an extent.

A lack of a thorough and ongoing mainstream exegesis of Sikh scriptures BY SIKHS that PROMOTES Sikhi (instead of apologising for it) has a considerable part to play in this problem.

I get the feeling that certain Sikhs believe that diluting and erasing aspects of Sikhi to accomodate non-Sikhs is the highest expression of being a Sikh. We have to accept that somewhere along the way, our Sikh religious hierarchy emphasised and pushed to the fore certain strands of the religion in the belief they were doing a noble and spiritually positive thing, when, from a long-term perspective, they've done incredible damage to Sikh interests and the Sikh psyche. They've confused Sikhs who aren't "balle, balle" low-IQ, blind followers with a muddled philosophy that doesn't tally with reality. Accordingly, those who can't reconcile these issues end up converting to other religions or just end up being irreligious.

Then what you see are Christians and Muslims standing on the sidelines, salivating at the sight of Sikhs doing THEIR dirty business for them. It's a paradoxical and ludicrous take on things.

I think the truth is that they know they can't save their own at the moment. Can these people save all the Sikhs languishing in jails over fake cases? No! So they do all this drama to make themselves feel better about their inability to help their own. Another is since there are so much less Sikhs in the world they feel alienated from the world and want to fit in or want attention from others to not feel alienated from the world. So they do all this feel good drama to get people to like and support them but they don't understand no matter how nice they are to these people they will backstab them anytime. These two are the main factors. They think that being this way is the only way to get people to like them and not feel alienated.

Look if you think about it 2 billion Christians, 2 billion Muslims , 1 billion Hindus ; all these communities are definitely anti Sikh and want to end/assimilate Sikhi as they believe their religion is the only true religion. But then being such a small minority an average Sikh feels alienated from the society not only due to the way we look but also our beliefs. Sikhi tells us that these paths are broken but we don't go out of our way unlike these groups to devise clever devious plans to finish these people off. So an average Sikh craves larger societal acceptance from the majority communities and they act like this.

It is the same reason Ravi Singh does what he does. He knows helping Muslims, Christian African will get him more PR and societal acceptance and reach than helping his own people. They are victims of their own ego. The Bhai Kanhaiya story is just used by these kind to justify what they are doing and not feel guilty rather than being the sole reason for their doings. The main reason is that wider societal acceptance by helping majority communities fuels their ego. Would Ravi Singh gain all this PR if he was helping just his own? NO! No one other than Sikhs would even know who he was.

Accurate analysis. I think a group of us on  SS should start writing a PDF Manifesto, compile good posts on SS, add and edit it into a good solid read. Should be compact, no holds barred and not bulky as reading is like kryptonite to the majority of our panth. A harsh wake up call for Sikhs worldwide addressing this self destructive altruism and excessive religious pluralism afflicting the panth.

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
