I heard there was an eyewitness account of Baba Deep Singh Ji slaying papis from an afghan soldier complaining to his king that we can kill the Singhs that are alive, but not those who are dead. The name attributed to this work is "Tehmas Khan". Does anyone know what language that book is in? Does it even exist? Where could I find a copy? It seems a little suspicious that an afghan would record an event like this.

 

Thanks.

Search for "Tahmasp Khan" on the internet and you may find his autobiography. He was a Persian General in Nader Shah's army.

Tazkirah-i-miskin is the name of the book. It was written by tehmas khan miskin and this is apparently preserved at the British museum in London. Professor Sukhpreet Singh Udoke apparently has a video on this as well. Gonna research this tommorow, seams pretty interesting.

I was watching a basics of sikhi video on Baba Deep Singh ji and someone named Giani Sukhraj Singh went to Cambridge university and saw accounts written by the British during the time of Baba Gurbaksh Singh ji from Damdami taksal about 14-18 sikhs being decapitated but still fighting. Anyone here go to Cambridge university and can confirm this? If you can send a picture of the page.

Sorry I’m new to this platform so I’m getting messed up with writing a bit. Search up “Tahmasnama” instead. There’s a few other titles of the book also but I’m pretty sure the tahmasnama posted online was edited by some people to make it more “historically accurate”. I am searching for mentions of it elsewhere and perhaps a word for word translation of an old copy of this text. This could all just be heresay but it’s not a big thing going around so I am assuming it’s not.

A fresh translation is in Grewal and Habib's Persian Sources of Sikh history.  I don't recalling reading anything like you mention in that myself.

    • 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.
    • Good way of putting it, bro. One of the ongoing themes of Gurbani is the fake saint. Whether it's fake babas in Punjab or English-speaking personalities in the West, it's an continuing problem of religion through the centuries (and it's not exclusive to us by any means, this applies to all human societies).
