The empire of the Sikhs by patwant singh 

Sounds like a great idea and initiative 

The British used Deception and treachery through promoting self interest in the Sikh traitors.   I wonder if a similar charitar will come up 

I've been collecting budhist art through pantings, miniatures and handwritten manuscripts for years. I'm quite saddened that Sikhi does'nt have that same kind of art heritage - they''re extremely beautiful

Sounds like a great idea and initiative 

You should always strive to pronounce it correctly 

I tried something similiar here. Feel free to continue the charitar summaries by going through the earlier posts:
www.sikhawareness.com/topic/18885-summary-findings-of-the-charitro-pakhyan/
 
 

Gurbilas patshahi 6 details a lot of the rituals in regards to Guru Granth Sahib as well as the day to day rituals at Harminder sahib. 

I think this charitar is a mirror of the fram story where the King enacts a great war for the sake of attaining a specific woman  he wants. Here you have the female enacting a great war for a specific man she wants.
The wise minister might be trying to convey ethics of war to the king now: Can you enact huge wars for the sake of material Things/ lust etc? There are some hints in the charitar that points to a new theme of dharam yudh rules: 1) being a Coward if one fights with a woman 2) negating notions of honor and shame in warfare 3) the Whole  battle seems to be portrayed as a Loose/Loose situation.

If i understand you correctly, do we belive that people that posses demonic attributes will merge with God into nothingness? Are'nt these people reincarnated over and over

Yes bhagat dhanna sorry. 

In one Shabad of Bhagat Naamdev he asks for a beautiful wife, strong horse, house etc. Nothing wrong in asking for physical things

The link between the medieval trade routes and the spread of Sikhi is quite interesting.

On another note it could talk about the balance in spiritual life vs. worldly life ie balanced grishti. In this case we are dealing with a guy that spends all his time on spirituality to the extent that he is being taken advantage of by people. He is refered to as an idiot for spending all his time on spiritual matters.

I think Nidar Singh did a video on this charitar.

Deception through flattery

ਬਾਵਨ ਕਵੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਢਿਗ ਰਹੈ। ਮਨਿਆ ਉਨ ਮਹਿ ਗੁਨੀਆ ਅਹੈ।
ਸ੍ਰੀ ਮੁਖ ਤੋਂ ਕਲਗੀਧਰ ਆਪੈ। ਬੀਰ ਰਸ ਕੀ ਕਥਾ ਅਲਾਪੈ।
ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨ ਚਰਿਤਰ ਮਧ ਹੈ ਜਾਨੋ। ਖੜਗ ਸਿੰਘ ਕਾ ਯੁਧ ਪਛਾਨੋ।
ਜਿਸ ਤੇ ਸੁਨਤ ਕਾਇਰਤਾ ਭਾਗੈ।ਧਰਮ ਜੁਧ ਮਹਿ ਹੋਈ ਅਨੁਰਾਗੇ।
(ਚੋਪਈ 47, ਸ਼ਹੀਦ ਬਿਲਾਸ ਕਵੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਸਿੰਘ)

In the history of Sikhism it has been firmly established that the Khatri caste played a significant
role in the development of the medieval Sikh community. Moreover, the Khatris in the Mughal
period grew into a prominent commercial and scribal caste. However it has never been considered
why Sikhism, in the context of the Khatri’s medieval commercial expansion, attracted
a large Khatri following. In this article I endeavour to explore the appeal of Sikhism to the
medieval Khatri community by examining early Sikh thought on trade and commerce. In addition,
I attempt to embed the influence of Sikhism within the development of the medieval Khatri
merchant family. And consider how the growth of the Khatri merchant network resulted in the
spread of Sikhism across Mughal north India.

Oh.  So the line is 
 
khorasan was protected, Hindustan was subdued. 

Gurfateh
Can anyone help out with an interpretation of the below bani in terms of Babur and the conquest of Khurasan:
ਖੁਰਾਸਾਨ (khuraasaan)
Meaning: noun: Khurasan or Khorasan, the Persian province of Khorasan, a vast historical region presently lying in northeastern Iran, southern Turkmenistan and northern Afghanistan.
Quote:
ਖੁਰਾਸਾਨ ਖਸਮਾਨਾ ਕੀਆ   ਹਿੰਦੁਸਤਾਨੁ ਡਰਾਇਆ॥
(ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖ ਨੇ) ਖੁਰਾਸਾਨ ਦਾ ਖਸਮਾਨਾ ਕੀਤਾ (ਖਸਮ ਵਾਲਾ ਬਿਰਦ ਕਰਕੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਬਾਬਰ ਰੂਪ ਜਮ ਤੋਂ ਬਚਾ ਲਿਆ ਅਤੇ) ਹਿੰਦੁਸਤਾਨ ਨੂੰ ਭੈ-ਭੀਤ ਕਰ ਦਿਤਾ ਹੈ। 

khuraasaan khasmaanaa keeaa   hiňdustaan ḍaraaiaa.
(The Creator) has owned or protected Khurasan and has terrified Hindustan (through the agency of Babur). -Guru Nanak Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, 360
 
Notes: Generally, the quote is interpreted as “Having conquered Khurasan, Babur invaded Hindustan.” However, it is not very clear if Babur ever conquered or ruled Khurasan region.
Historical sources tell us that Khurasan was ruled by Genghis Khan, Timur, the Afghans, Iranian Safavid  kings, and Nader Shah. The Iranian Safavid kings ruled Khurasan from 1502–1736. So when did Babur conquer Khurasan?
At the age of 12, Babur succeeded his father Umar Shaikh Mirza of Fergana (now in Uzbekistan) and reigned there from 1494-97 and 1498-1500. 
From 1497-98, 1500-01, and 1511-12, Babur ruled over Samarkand, a city currently in Uzbekistan. In 1504, he became ruler of Kabul where he reigned until 1526. It was from here that he began his conquest of Hindustan, which was then ruled by the Afghan Lodi dynasty.
