  1. Some questions for consideration -

    what is the nishaan?

    where does the maryada of having a nishan sahib come from?

    why have a nishan?

    Was the nishan sahib as we see it today introduced only in the last 100 years?

    Have Gurdwaras always had nishans?

    Why do the Nihangs have nishans and specific nishanchis who carry these nishans?

    Who is authorised in the panth to give out nishans?

    Was the khanda on the nishan sahib really bestowed upon us by the sixth Nanak?

    Are nagar kirtans an invention of the Singh Sabhas?

    What is a 'mahalla' and how does it differ to a nagar kirtan?

    question time...

  2. Check out this link for the best music video of all time - http://www.worldonfire.ca/

    The lyrics are below...

    [align=center:2567300fc2]Hearts are worn in these dark ages

    You're not alone in this story's pages

    Night has fallen amongst the living and the dying

    And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in

    The world's on fire and

    It's more than I can handle

    I'll tap into the water

    (I try to pull my ship)

    I try to bring more

    More than I can handle

    (Bring it to the table)

    Bring what I am able

    I watch the heavens and I find a calling

    Something I can do to change this moment

    Stay close to me while the sky is falling

    Don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone

    Hearts break, hearts mend

    Love still hurts

    Visions clash, planes crash

    Still there's talk of

    Saving souls, still the cold

    Is closing in on us

    We part the veil on our killer sun

    Stray from the straight line on this short run

    The more we take, the less we become

    A fortune of one that means less for some [/align:2567300fc2]

    Satnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam ~ Wahegurooooooooooooooooooooo!
