an effort to bind with GuruNaanak jis jot, Gurbani http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqlfxPTf1rM

Here is my understanding of the entire situation.... The most shaheedian have been done by the Khalsa, who dont belong to any caste. Before 1984 90% of all shaheedian were done by the khalsa army. In order to become a true khalsa warrior you must forget what you know i.e. farming to understand warfare, if we had jats (term used as reference to a farmer) stratgising warfare we wouldnt be here right now. Yes if i wanted to grow corn or wheat i would most defitantley contact a farmer...do you see where i am going with this...i am not trying to be disrespectful...far from it. I am just trying to making a point that once you take Khandeh da Amrit your entire profession, lineage, background and society changes. If not then we can never fight as one unit on the battlefield. Wise up... The above is just my knowledge, you dont have to agree with it..

GPS Ji, since Punjab was under the control of the British, legally, BOTH of the Singhs Sabhas, had no option other than recognizing the British authority over Punjab. Singh Sabha Amritsar were no rebels, in order to join Singh Sabha Amritsar and complimentary Khalsa Divan under Khem Singh Bedi, one had to swear allegiance to the British. This is fully documented. As far as the British were concerned, a handful of people in Singh Sabha Amritsar believed in the "PIPE DREAM" of Dalip Singh's return. Singh Sabha Lahore viewed this as an impractical exercise that would cause more harm to the Panth and instead focused on stopping the direct threat by the Arya Samajis, and Christian missionaries, and ongoing Hinduization of the Sikh community. Just because Singh Sabha Lahor did not support the "PIPE DREAM" does not mean they were traitors. In fact, they were great visionaries, who though it was more important to fight the scourge of Brahamansim that had infected the Panth, and bring back Gurmat Rahit and philosophy. Rmember, Singh Sabha Lahore did 95% of the Sikhi parchar during the Singh Sabha movement. You may call GurSikhs such as Prof. Gurmukh Singh and Giani Ditt Singh Ji traitors, etc, but the Panth recognizes them as true heroes and scholars who stood against the Brahmanization of the Panth. Without them and their tireless efforts through the Singhs Sabha movement, Sikh would have continued to worship Hindu deities at Sri Dabar Sahib, and marry according to Bedi customs. Prof. Gurmukh Singh was a true Sikh scholar, whose sacrificed and persevered for the Panth. Scholars like Bhai Vir Singh, Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha, worked hand in hand with this gem, only they knew the real value of his "heera".

Prof. Gurmukh Singh's excommunication was never accepted by the Panth. It was a political ploy by the Baba Khem Singh Bedi (pro-Sanatani Singh Sabha Amritsar) group to silence and limit the parchar by his associates who were known as "Singh Sabha Lahore." Being a direct decedent of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Khem Singh Bedi used to sit on a pedestal and his followers would bow to him like a guru. Even at Sri Darbar Sahib he would sit on a special cushion parallel to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Prof. Gurmukh Singh, Giani Ditt Singh and the rest of the Singh Sabha Lahore did not accept this, and challenged the pro-Sanatani Singh Sabha Amritsar on this practice. Khem Singh Bedi persuaded the masands and sarabrahs (caretakers hired by the British) to excommunicate Prof. Gurmukh Singh. The Panth never accepted the validity of the ex-communication. Gurmukhs such as Bhai Gurditt Singh, Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha, Bhai Vir Singh Ji, and the countless others continued to associate with Prof. Gurmukh Singh Ji, and never accept the validity of his ex-communication. Edicts from Sri Akal Takht Sahib must always be in accordance to Gurmat, and must be ratified or supported by the Panth, they can not be unanimously issued under political pressure or for personal grudge. Similar edicts have been issued against the freedom fighters aboard the KamaGata Maru, Babbar Akalis, and many others, but were never accepted by the Panth.
