@indicvedic We have shared many historical arms attributed/belonging to Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

No where have we implied that they only owned a single sword.

This is a platform dedicated to Sikh martial history and tradition, it is not a political platform.

Their eating, dressing, talking, way of life and traditions are distinct from all Singhs and the rest of the world.”
