Mohan, A Turbaned Brahmin

[Shaastar]

because the word brahmin has been repeated in Media so many times with RSS stereotypes easily conjure up.

Ive had the opportunity to grow up in a mixed area. One particular brahmin guy ( who did not even look indian) built a hardman rep. To walk on those streets then you either look over your shoulder before you got an iron rod over your head or you had to build your own rep. Long story short, Brahmin guy taught me a valuable lesson. " DO not stand up for any bloke here by placing your life on the line if they wont stand up themselves, otherwise youl have idiots who will never value you risking the result" .

Kashmiri Pandits in 1890s

I guess this is what all of them looked like when they visited Sahib Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Patshah Jee Maharaj in 1675 at Sri Anandpur Sahib.

In MaLWA region of Punjab you will find many Hindus wearing turbans with hair and beard intact.

Many of them believe in Guru Granth sahib as their guide.

Many writers such as Ram Saroop ankhi, sant Ram Udasi were keshadhari sikhs.Their names are

misleading.

I think 1857 ultimately caused the divide, in the mind of the common man.

He was never told of the wars few years before where the foreigners and hindus and muslims tried to conquer the Sikhs.

Only that they were defeated by the Sikhs in 1857.

You can slowly see after that, with many hinduvta advocates being clean shaven that the Dastaar Identity faded.

It may also be due to a decline in militarism many pathans in Toronto who are older, wear a turban too.
