SURYADEV Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 According to SS.com there was an event at the Palace to launch the book 'In The Masters Presence' on the 12th Jan. It was attended by various dignitaries and MP's. Anyone here attend or have further details? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURYADEV Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 All you are hearing is a mumbo jumbo of different people talking over each other , telling each other to shutup - a peculiar panjabi trait-, edited down to a few minutes , with the anti-Nidarists blurring their faces to protect their identity incase they get lynched by Nihang Nidar, I presume. Show us the unedited debate-cum-apology which apparently lasted a couple of hours then maybe we can make a somewhat decent comment. All this cr4p that these guys put on the net to show how Nihang Nidar is a naughty boy just makes me laugh. from what I could tell most of the guys just seemed local chaps. couldn't make out the 'representatives' od the Nihang dals, DDT and other jathebandia. or maybe these locals are their regional ambassadors in Maharashtara?! First there was a blurred 2min mobile clip showing a tussle between Nihang Nidar and Teji sparring and people start claiming that teji one won over the other. Such a massive crowed of people and they just had a 2min phone recording of this legendary battle?? Show me the full fight. And now we have this 'evidence'. I would have thought that if this book that hardly anyone has seen or read is that objectionable all the Sikhs of India would be on the streets having book-burning parties and demanding that it be banned. heard nothing of the sort yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyhp32 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 The video of the parliament event is here http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2YotRSiLNgg&...re=channel_page Does beg the question why is someone who has been going on about the British meddling in Panthic affairs and their creation of a 'British Sikhi' and then attending this kind of event. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaheediyan Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Tony, there is a difference between historical debate/blame and present day. One can hate teh British of the old who raped India and can be respectful to the British of today who allow Sikhs to live and practice their faith without compromise on this great Island... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyhp32 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I take his point but it could easily be successfully argued that the British govt is still the same but is successful in masking its true nature! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURYADEV Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Do you have another conspiricy theory you want to share with us, Tony? the same can be said about the new commitees that take over our gurdwaras every year or the political parties of Panjab. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaheediyan Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Its interesting how no one, either on this website or others, has brought up the issue regarding the destruction of the Hazuri Singhs homes and lives in order to create NRI hotels..... I didn't see any of the Sampradai or Babai mention this issue during the celebrations.... (with all due respect). Credit due where credit is due. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see any of the Sampradai or Babai mention this issue during the celebrations.... (with all due respect). Credit due where credit is due. Of course, Sikhs always think of eveyones 'bhalla'. How can such things be done by chardi kala Singhs for such an occasion? [sarcastically} Some things are best swept under the carpet. (from what I hear thats not all that happened, more details appear in the book. So please, everyone, at least buy and read the last couple of chapters of the book before you start burning it for being Anti-Sikh!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURYADEV Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 What use are new homes if they are miles out of town, posibbly sub-standard to what they had; not to mention the sentimental attachment to their homes. if they were given new homes, even if it was a palace doesn't excuse that fact that they were forced out at gunpoint in the middle of the night!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaheediyan Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Can any home replace an ancestral home which faces Sri Hazur Sahib and allows you to have darshan of Takht Sahib day and night every time you open your front door. We are talking of the Takht perimeter, not 1 mile away. I stayed at one of these NRI hotels on the perimeter, it was beyond explanation - wake up every morning or before you go to sleep each night - just go to the balcony and Takht Sahb is shining in all its magnificent divine glory. These Singhs have lived in Takht Sahibs shadow for centuries, no celebration justifies these families being moved from their blessed homes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURYADEV Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2YotRSiLNgg you gotta love the way Nihang Nidar dresses so casually even to attend places like Parliament. Wonder what he'll wear to a 'black tie do'? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURYADEV Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 what is the difference of the hazoor sahib 'beautification' and the destruction that took place in Beijing for the Olympics 2008 developmentas?

Kam1825 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 The heritage and destructin was not the only criticism aimed at Niddar Singh. Maybe those close to him should ask about the trouble he got into with Akali Baba Hari Singh Ji's Jatha when they put a gun to his head! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matheen Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 doesn't excuse that fact that they were forced out at gunpoint in the middle of the night!!! Says who? when was the last time you spoke to a Singh from Nanded? nobody was forced anywhere - next time you visit, ask the locals for yourself. Amardeep, you may not know some of the things Niddar has said and the disrepute he's brought to the name of the Budda Dal, but nobody would hold a gun to his head without reason. Like Kam says, the main issue wasn't even to do with his book...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amardeep Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 What was it about then? Nihangs fight for dharam , not for honour.. Whats next, honour killings within nihang circles? but yes you are right , i dont know much about this man. im talking about principles only 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
