Have started today on "Sri Gur Sobha" by Kavi Sainapati. I have read the 1st chapter (attempting to read one every day in Gurmukhi and English). I have to say I really enjoyed reading it.
Kulwant Singh of IOSS has done a translation of it, as with Panth Parkash, and it looks really good. Still a few typos though.

The Proudest Day.

Have started to read "Arthshastra". I am amazed at some of the content in this book, esp about animal rights and such, given its age. amazing.

Im not too sure about that. The Jats werent the only ones to receive this massage.

Chritar 118: Tale of Rani Mantar Kala
ਚੌਪਈ ॥
Chaupaee
ਪਛਿਮ ਦੇਵ ਰਾਵ ਬਡਭਾਗੀ ॥
 
ਮੰਤ੍ਰ ਕਲਾ ਰਾਨੀ ਸੌ ਪਾਗੀ ॥
In the West Country there lived an auspicious king named Dev Raao. Mantar Kala was his wife.
ਜੋ ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਕਹੈ ਵਹੈ ਜੜ ਕਰਈ ॥
 
ਬਿਨੁ ਪੂਛੈ ਕਛੁ ਤਿਹ ਨ ਨੁਸਰਈ ॥੧॥
The way the woman directed, that fool followed and without her consent would not take a single step.(1)
ਤਾ ਪਰ ਰਹਤ ਰਾਵ ਉਰਝਾਯੋ ॥
 
ਦੋਇ ਪੁਤ੍ਰ ਤਾ ਤੇ ਉਪਜਾਯੋ ॥
She always ensnared the Raja; they had two sons.
ਕਾਲ ਪਾਇ ਰਾਜਾ ਮਰਿ ਗਯੋ ॥
 
ਰਾਜ ਪੁਤ੍ਰ ਤਾ ਕੇ ਕੋ ਭਯੋ ॥੨॥
After sometimes the Raja died and his sons took over the kingdom.(2)
ਦੋਹਰਾ ॥
Dohira
ਏਕ ਪੁਰਖ ਆਯੋ ਤਹਾ ਅਮਿਤ ਰੂਪ ਕੀ ਖਾਨਿ ॥
Once, a man came, who was very handsome.
ਲਖਿ ਰਾਨੀ ਤਿਹ ਬਸਿ ਭਈ ਬਧੀ ਬਿਰਹ ਕੈ ਬਾਨ ॥੩॥
Becoming the victim of his love-arrows, Rani felt herself under his spell.(3)
ਸੋਰਠਾ ॥
Sortha
ਤਾ ਕੌ ਲਯੋ ਬੁਲਾਇ ਪਠੈ ਸਹਚਰੀ ਏਕ ਤਿਹ ॥
Through one of her maids, she called him over,
ਕਹਿਯੋ ਬਿਰਾਜਹੁ ਆਇ ਸੰਕ ਤ੍ਯਾਗ ਹਮ ਕੌ ਅਬੈ ॥੪॥
And told him to stay their without any trepidation.(4)
ਚੌਪਈ ॥
Chaupaee
ਤਬ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਤਿਨ ਹ੍ਰਿਦੈ ਬਿਚਾਰਿਯੋ ॥
 
ਰਾਨੀ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਤਿ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਉਚਾਰਿਯੋ ॥
Then, that handsome man thought and spoke to the Rani emphatically,
ਏਕ ਬਾਤ ਤੁਮ ਕਰੋ ਤਾ ਕਹਊ ॥
 
ਨਾਤਰ ਧਾਮ ਨ ਤੁਮਰੇ ਰਹਊ ॥੫॥
‘I must ask you one thing, I will stay if you agree, and otherwise I will leave.’(5)
ਸੁ ਹੌ ਕਹੌ ਜੋ ਯਹ ਨਹਿ ਕਰੈ ॥
 
ਮੋਰ ਮਿਲਨ ਕੋ ਖ੍ਯਾਲ ਨ ਪਰੈ ॥
(He thought) ‘I must say something which she cannot do and abandon thought of meeting me.
ਸੁਰ ਪੁਰ ਬਹੁਰ ਬਧਾਵੋ ਭਯੋ ॥੧੪॥
He took over the sovereignty, once again, and the greetings flowed in the heaven.
ਦੁਹਕਰ ਕਰਮ ਜੁ ਯਹ ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਕਰਿ ਹੈ ॥
ਤਬ ਯਹ ਆਜੁ ਸੁ ਹਮ ਕੋ ਬਰਿ ਹੈ ॥੬॥
‘Or else she will be too firm and will definitely marry me.’(6)
ਦੋਹਰਾ ॥
Dohira
ਏ ਜੂ ਪੂਤ ਜੁਗ ਤੁਮ ਜਨੇ ਤਿਨ ਦੁਹੂਅਨ ਕੋ ਮਾਰਿ ॥
‘These two sons which you have given birth to, kill them both,
ਗੋਦ ਡਾਰਿ ਸਿਰ ਦੁਹੂੰ ਕੇ ਮਾਂਗਹੁ ਭੀਖ ਬਜਾਰ ॥੭॥
‘And placing their heads in your lap, go out to beg alms.’ (7)
ਚੌਪਈ ॥
Chaupaee
ਤਬ ਤਿਹ ਤ੍ਰਿਯਾ ਕਾਜ ਸੋਊ ਕਿਯੋ ॥
 
ਨਿਕਟ ਬੋਲਿ ਤਿਨ ਦੁਹੂੰਅਨ ਲਿਯੋ ॥
The woman decided to undertake the task and called both her sons.
ਮਦਰਾ ਪ੍ਯਾਇ ਕੀਏ ਮਤਵਾਰੇ ॥
 
ਖੜਗ ਕਾਢਿ ਦੋਊ ਪੂਤ ਸੰਘਾਰੇ ॥੮॥
She intoxicated them with wine and with a sword killed them both.(8)
ਦੋਹਰਾ ॥
Dohira
ਦੁਹੂੰ ਸੁਤਨ ਕੇ ਕਾਟ ਸਿਰ ਲਏ ਗੋਦ ਮੈ ਡਾਰਿ ॥
She cut of and put the heads of both of them in her lap.
ਅਤਿਥ ਭੇਖ ਕੋ ਧਾਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਮਾਗੀ ਭੀਖ ਬਜਾਰ ॥੯॥
Putting up the disguise of a beggar, she went out for begging.(9)
ਚੌਪਈ ॥
Chaupaee
ਭੀਖ ਮਾਗਿ ਮਿਤਵਾ ਪਹਿ ਗਈ ॥
 
ਪੂਤਨ ਮੁੰਡ ਦਿਖਾਵਤ ਭਈ ॥
After begging, she went to her lover and showed him the heads of her sons.
ਤੋਰੇ ਲੀਏ ਦੋਊ ਮੈ ਮਾਰੇ ॥
 
ਅਬ ਭੋਗਹੁ ਮੁਹਿ ਆਨਿ ਪਿਯਾਰੇ ॥੧੦॥
‘I have killed my both the sons. Now you come and make love with me.’(10)
ਦੁਹਕਰ ਕਰਮ ਜਾਰਿ ਲਖਿ ਲਯੋ ॥
 
ਪਹਰ ਏਕ ਮਿਰਤਕ ਸੌ ਭਯੋ ॥
An uphill task he faced, and for one whole watch he felt like a dead man.
ਦੁਤਿਯ ਪਹਰ ਆਨਿ ਜਬ ਲਾਗਿਯੋ ॥
 
ਚਿਤ੍ਯੋ ਛੋਰਿ ਮੂਰਛਨਾ ਜਾਗਿਯੋ ॥੧੧॥
When the second watch approached, he regained the consciousness.( 11)
ਸਵੈਯਾ ॥
Savaiyya
ਤਜਿਹੂੰ ਨ ਸਕੈ ਰਮਿਹੂੰ ਨ ਸਕੈ ਇਹ ਭਾਂਤਿ ਕੀ ਆਨਿ ਬਨੀ ਦੁਚਿਤਾਈ ॥
(And contemplated,) ‘Neither I can accept her, nor can I leave, I am in a fix now.
ਬੈਠ ਸਕੈ ਉਠਿਹੂੰ ਨ ਸਕੈ ਕਹਿਹੂੰ ਨ ਸਕੈ ਕਛੁ ਬਾਤ ਬਨਾਈ ॥
‘Neither, I can sit nor get up, such a situation has arisen.
ਤ੍ਯਾਗਿ ਸਕੈ ਗਰ ਲਾਗਿ ਸਕੈ ਰਸ ਪਾਗਿ ਸਕੈ ਨ ਇਹੈ ਠਹਰਾਈ ॥
‘Neither I can abandon her, nor I can relish her in such a condition.
ਝੂਲਿ ਗਿਰਿਯੋ ਛਿਤ ਭੁਲ ਗਈ ਸੁਧਿ ਕਾ ਗਤਿ ਮੋਰੇ ਬਿਸ੍ਵਾਸ ਬਨਾਈ ॥੧੨॥
‘I have been downed to doom and all my perceptibility has abandoned me.’
ਚੌਪਈ ॥
Chaupaee
ਪਹਰ ਏਕ ਬੀਤੇ ਪੁਨ ਜਾਗਿਯੋ ॥
 
ਤ੍ਰਸਤ ਤ੍ਰਿਯਾ ਕੇ ਗਰ ਸੋ ਲਾਗਿਯੋ ॥
He woke up after another watch had passed and, under extreme compulsion, took the woman in the embrace.
ਜੋ ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਕਹਿਯੋ ਵਹੈ ਤਿਨ ਕੀਨੋ ॥
 
ਬਹੁਰਿ ਨਾਹਿ ਕੋ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਲੀਨੋ ॥੧੩॥
Whatever she asked for he did and, thereafter, never yearned for a woman.(13)(1)
ਇਤਿ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਪਖ੍ਯਾਨੇ ਤ੍ਰਿਯਾ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰੇ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੀ ਭੂਪ ਸੰਬਾਦੇ ਇਕ ਸੌ ਅਠਾਰਹ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ ਸਮਾਪਤਮ ਸਤੁ ਸੁਭਮ ਸਤੁ ॥੧੧੮॥੨੩੦੯॥ਅਫਜੂੰ॥
118th Parable of Auspicious Chritars Conversation of the Raja and the Minister, Completed With Benediction.(118)(2307)

Sri Charitro Pakhyan Granth from Sri Dasme Patshah's Granth Sahib.

Great thread. The naqba of the palestinians happened in 1948, 1 year after the naqba of the Sikhs. Yet the Sikhs are generally mute to their own naqba in Panjab. It's like we have forgotten, or chosen to forget what happened in 1947.
 
 
Its why Yasser Arafat was a great supporter of Nehru  and Indira Gandhi, as they claimed to be secularists as well. But the state of India also got help and advice from Israel in counter-terrorism for Operation Bluestar, as the Israelis had been conducting such like operations for years. Both enemies. Both supporting India.
 
 
It seems like their plan to create infighting between Palestinians backfired as one side came out very dominant. And then decided to kill 1000 Israelis.

I'd be surprised if Azerbaijan invaded Armenia. They have got what they wanted for 20 years in taking over Nagorno Karabagh. Azerbaijan has also been warned by Iran that it should not overplay it's hand with Armenia. Turkey and Russia in the meantime have given strong support to Azerbaijan. Yet Iran is still supporting Russia against Ukraine. Israel has supported Azerbaijan in retaking Nagorno Karabagh, as they are not on good terms with Iran.
 
It's a mess isn't it lol?

And he couldn't find no better way of going about it? The stupid name-calling. The stupid GIFs.
And do you really think here on this forum that we are against fighting castiesm or caste domination?

Saw this on PDL and wanted to to share it here:

from my rents, my mothers knowledge of puniabi is amazing, even though she never went to school and a very old dictionary i found in the library which was written in 1908, and so contains a lot of words which were persian orientated which we dont hear so much these days.




What he is saying is that lassi brings messages (sukh)of peace (sunoura),, i think uits just another way to say suneha, which means peace,

nindran is hindi for sleep, we say in punjabi neend




it just sounds like jajja instead of chacha, but i could be wrong.



Now you're scaring me!

If you look at Dal's posts from 10 years ago, he was at times talking the same trash, he was talking about a month ago. It's hard to beleive, yet true, that for all his academic prowess, research skills and general eloquence in discussing such topics, he has not moved an iota from his castiest drivel and mental block. Life is about becoming wiser and more forgiving and less intolerant as you grow older, but this dude just bucked the trend. Maybe he has not been posting here out of embarrassment.

He says it's from the responses he recieved from the survey, but it would be very easy for hi-tech india to gets its minions to write in and make these claims. These minions have been doing it on twitter for years.

Any idea what was amended?

Dear oh dear. With pappus like Sirsa what can you do? It is clearly stated that anyone coming in an official capacity is banned. Vikram is welcome to any gurdwara, should he want to come and listen to naam simran, sikh history and ongoing Sikh issues in a personal capacity.
 
I wonder whether those tiranga waving Sikhs will now do another protest lol

Damn I stopped reading at number 9 😂
