Quite the amazing story - Sukha Singh told his parents of his desire to join the Khalsa and its military bands, which shocked them as they tried to (unsuccessfully) dissuade him. They then drugged him and cut his hair off, which led to him jumping into the well out of anguish
"Sikhs have been honouring weapons since centuries in the form of shastar puja (worship of weapons), and now you say that having arms in Gurdwaras has destroyed it's sanctity? And bringing tanks into the complex purified it?"
“Then, claiming they needed a beardless identification photo, correctional officers handcuffed Mr. Singh to a chair and forcibly shaved him, even as he cried that he would rather have his throat cut than his beard.”
Waheguru, this is beyond vile.
sikh media / platforms should be looking for amritdhari voices when it comes to what the panth should / shouldn’t do.
tired of seeing sehajdharis (like myself) writing pieces about what direction the khalsa should take.

So many Shaheeds gave their life for the Panth. We need some strong introspection as a community. Are we living up to try to inherit what our Shaheeds like this Singh fought for?
At the bare minimum we can start by keeping the physical saroop to honor the past and present.
Hundreds of Sikhs protest @RepBera and demand more responsibility from our elected officials. For too long community leaders have been gatekeepers that continuously suppress Panthic voices.
What happened to keeping the ekta? It’ll always be the people you think have your back throwing you under the bus. Only loyalty is with the panth, trusting anyone else is our own fault.
“We are only providing legal help to innocents. They both (Lakha Sidhana and Deep Sidhu) were basically not part of the agitation from the start.”

at some point we have to talk about how Sikh organisations that claim to represent the quam are complicit in the environment that allowed for Disha Ravi’s arrest by virtue of their silence on the demonisation of Khalistan, which is the ground for the sedition claims.
