paapiman Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Sangat jee: There were two battles fought between Singhs and Jatts (Brars). Jatts were the culprits, who instigated this conflict. For more details, one can read Episode# 137 and 138 in Sri Gur Panth Prakash by Gyani Rattan Singh jee. Some highlights (including the causes) of the first battle are below: Bhul chuk maaf Edited October 7, 2015 by paapiman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragmaala Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 But there are good Jatts who are not Brars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragmaala Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Even Virks have a bad reputation especially ones who associated with Nirankaris in 1978 massacre.I guess throughout history there have been people who were indeed punjabi but not sikh like, who drank & indulged in prostitution and fought amongst themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tonyhp32 Posted October 7, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Sant Jarnail Singh was Brar Jat but then so was the traitor who took Gandhi's order to attack the Golden Temple. There's good and bad in all. It wasn't just some Jats of Malwa that were bad, there was quite a few Jat Chaudhris of Majha from the time of Mir Mannu who had made common cause with him and used to hunt for Sikhs in their areas and send them to Lahore for execution.

Ragmaala Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Baba Deep Singh Ji was also a Randhawa Jatt, I believe.Baba Ishar Singh Ji Kaleran were Gill Jatt.Bhagat Dhann Ji was a JattBaba Nand Singh Ji Kaleran were Ramgarhia.And the 5 Bhagats & 5 Pyare belonged to different castes as well.So I guess, there is atleast one Mahapurakh Brahmgyani in each caste...hence removing the hiearchy of caste in spiritual terms.To note, Kuldip Singh is a Brar involved in 1984 attack. And Punjab DGP KP is a gill. So caste cannot be generalized into good or bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 As Bhangu indicates, there were pro-Sikhi Jats who were committed to Sikh values and saw themselves as part of a wider community, and there were anti-Sikhi Jats. I think after the latter got their ar5e whooped by the mixed Khalsa, they infiltrated the Sikh movement through conversion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paapiman Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 The second slide (from top) mentions that Brar ancestors were initiated. Therefore, most likely, these Jatts considered themselves as Sikhs.Bhul chuk maaf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) This bit is funny: As the Majhail Singhs asked the Brars to get themselves initiated The latter chided Majhails to get initiated through their assholes. Paapiman, you're right, they appear to have descended from someone who had already taken Amrit. Here's the original text: What is ਅੰਦ੍ਰਾਹੁਲ???

dalsingh101 Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 On a serious, it's interesting to see that Singhs basically smacked down Brar Jats into submission and compelled them to join their ranks..... hhhmmm The few Brars I've met have been dodgy mofos. Very proud and arrogant. I wonder how they'd feel if they knew their history? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amardeep Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Are we talking about forced conversions here or forced political alliances? The Mughals for instance would smack down the rajputs, and then enroll them into their army and go subjugate another part of India using those very same defeated rajputs.

I used to with with a Brar, who came from Panjab. the guy was a riot. He was so funny. He never looked down on anyone, and we had a great laugh trying to teach him how to tell the time in english. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
