    True. Science has advanced so much in the last 20 years in terms of technology and medicine.

    This could also be taken the other way round as well. The minister is telling the King that the Queen was capable of keeping the raaj existing, and she is also capale of destroying that same raaj as well if she desires.

    The book itself has to be worthy of its price. £25 for a kindle is a ripoff. I don't want to put my money into this guys pocket unecessarily given the kind of guy he is. False.

    Thinking back to the bird on the mans backside, it displays a symbol of freedom which the man will never experience because of it being carved into a delicate area.
    It is a symbol of freedom signifying an everlasting prison.
     
    And have you ever heard the phrase "a prison without walls"?

    Sitar was never part of Gurmat Sangeet.
     
     
    Yeah i think that the AKJ's came up on the influence of Sufiana that rose up around 20 odd years ago, when everyone started to listen to Nusrat FAK. AKJ was the closest we got to that and I used to listen to it as well. Until I discovered what raag was and Gurmat Sangeet, thanks to Prof Surinder Singh, and Harjinder Singh Lalli.

    I dont think there is any case of death of kirtan. On the contrary I see a revival amongst Sikhs wanting to learn the traditional arts of kirtan, especially in the west

    Baba Nihal Singh has also taken in, in the past, recovering alcoholics and such and given them a place in his dera. This is a common thing in other deras as well. Not all go there because of prem or sharda. For some its poor life choices or unfortuate circumstances that took them there.
     
     
    This is a little bit tricky. Maharaja saw that the degeneration of the Sikh leadership amongst the Misls was very weak. However the key point here is that even if Maharaja had abolished the Gurmatta, he didn't speak for the Panth. That was Akali Phoola Singh's job. He was Jathedar of Sri Akal Bunga and could have called a Sarbat Khalsa without the need to inform, or seek permission from Maharaja Sahib. Unless of course this decision to stop Sarbat Khalsa was taken after 1823, by which time Maharaja Sahib had been soveriegn for 23 years. Is there any record of any Sarbat Khalsa happening in that era?
     
     
    Maybe they are just continuing the traditions of Akali Phoola Singh.
     
     
    Maharaja Ranjit Singh did what was best for himself. His decision making in his court and amongst his children was extremely poor. The repercussions of which the Panth suffer today. Coming to "tactics", Maharaja Sahib let the british get a foothold in Panjab by letting the Malwa Sardars seek their protection. Maharaja Sahib went on a tour of the Malwa states and subdued all of them but then, follishly re-instated them to their titles. He should have either executed the bloody lot, or sent them to Lahore where they had to attend court daily, as he did with a lot of the Manjha Sardars.
    Letting these fools go, they ran straight to the British and accepted them as overlords, which gave the british an opportunity to move their borders right up to Satluj.
     
     
    It was Sada Kaur who encouraged Maharaja Sahib to first make a stand against the afghans and then take over Lahore/Misls/Panjab.
    At this time, no Misl Sardars had run from the battelfield. They all met in Amritsar where some wanted to fight Abdali, some wanted to retreat only to Amritsar to stop abdali desecrating Amritsar again, and some wanted to retreat completely to the hills. But none had actually retreated/run at that time.

    The translation should read as "The Raja had many years of happiness with the Apsara."
     
    Bindra could only see one translation for Bhog and that was sex.
