The main ones who will destroy Kshatri dharam in the panth are the Kshatris themselves, by acting like they are Kshatris and not Kshatris when it suits them.

is that the ones who dress like kshatris and then tell everyone off for not being vegeterian? Or maybe the kshatris that need half an hour to take the kirpans out of their gatras if the situation arises. Ah, there are many kshatris that either behave like they are brahmin, or a mix of confusion!

yes those you have mentioned and those, who, on seeing and hearing about oppression, prefer to keep silent.

The Sikh should have a perfect blend of all 4 varans ie 25% in his persona.

Of course some veer towards Brahman a lot, as that is what is being promoted as true Sikhi, but like yourself, i believe that Sikhs should promote and nurture the Kshatriya lifestyle as equal.

The thing is that these Brahman type Sikhs look to you Kshatriya type sikhs to do something when oppression occurs.


The Sikh character:

25% Brahman - worship of Sri Akal, study etc
25% Kshatrita - practising arms, defend the oppressed etc
25% Vaish- work honestly, and fairly
25% Shudra - to do sewa with honest heart.

nowadays what do you think it is?

When was the last time 'Kshatriya type Sikhs like' stood up and fought against oppression of their brothers, or their own?!

As long as we keep working on ourselves, trying to follow Guru Ji's Sikhshya, then there is hope that things will go right, with Guru Ji's kirpa. As long as we follow our minds desires, we will lack Guru Ji's kirpa and nothing will happen. It only took 1 Pyara of Guru Ji to shake the oppressive Indian Govt' to the core in the late 70s and early 80s. Imagine what a handful can do?

You know the kshatriyas are now who you call bhappa and remember the ancestors of the gurus all came from khatri background. Many kshyatrias were politicians trying to marry turks for diplomatic reasons which did backfire to some extent. The thing was Islam was too new with new philosophy that couldn't match the age of hinduism. Well in reality all of the castes were only human, people acted as such in accordance to the environment they were brought up in, also taking into consideration the knowledge they had, it was a time before encyclopedias and the internet, if only they had encarta, they were only writing encyclopedias then.
