Gurdwaras based on caste! how silly is this! because our religion was based on a casteless society!!!! and we have ramgharia. rada sawami, Namdharis, ravi dass, NAKLI nirinkaris as gurdwara's?? what the?????? are people losing their minds who actually follow these ???

The above is from the "Pass this on" thread.Why do you people still think that Ramgrahia Misl is a caste??Why are you so lacking in the intelligence department?Again and again I see poeple accusing Ramgarhia Misl of being a jaat.Now, I am sick and tired of this.

If you want to know what Ramgarhia Misl is then go here:

That is if you want to know.Some of you I reckon would still want to wallow in your utter ignorance of Sikh history.

Did you know that in the Ramgarhia Misl you get: Tarkhan, Jatt, Lohar, Khatri jaat?

Misl = alliance/confederacy

It is from the first decade of the eighteenth century that we take up the thread of our narrative. Guru Gobind Singh having established the Brotherhood of Lions (the Singhs) had gone back to Heaven leaving

the infant Khalsa surrounded by blood - thirsty foes. He had promised to lend a helping and guiding hand from above. But the helpless children of the faith, seeing no visible hand to support them, trusted all their welfare to the leadership of Banda Singh. Upon this great leader and warrior the Guru had bestowed his blessings, and had received in return many sacred pledges, Banda Singh promising to abide by the Guru's injunctions. He proved a good nurse to the young Lion - Cubs and avenged the murder of the two younger sons of the Guru who were mercilessly killed at Sirhind by the tyrant Mughal (Nawab Wazir Khan). The infant Khalsa soon grew to boyhood and learnt the use of its limbs. It was at this time that the following twelve Misls (confederacies) were formed.

(1) First and the greatest the Bhangi Misl ruled over a vast tract, the revenues of which were a little over a crore of Rupees. The Misl had 12,000 horsemen.

(2) The Ramgarhia Misl, exercised absolute sway over territories the maximum revenue of which was between four and five millions of Rupees. The Misl possessed 360 forts and an army of 10,000 horsemen. Many Rajas and Nawabs paid tribute to it.

(3) Kanhaiya Misl, had 8,000 fighting men.

(4) Ahluwalia Misl, the Raja of Kapurthala is its present representative.

(5) Phul Misl, the three ruling Chiefs of Patiala, Nabha and Jind are the descendants of this Misl and rule under British protection over territories conquered by their ancestors.

(6) Sukarchakian Misl, from this Misl rose the Great Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the Lion of the Punjab, who conquered many of the Misls.

(7) Karoria Misl, had 12,000 fighting men.

(8) Daleywalian Misl, had 7,500 fighting men.

(9) Nishanawalian (Banner bearer) Misl, had 12,000 followers.

(10) Fayzulapurian Misl, its descendants are still great Sardars.

(11) Shahidan (Martyrs) Misl, had 2,000 horsemen.

(12) Nakaian Misl, had 2,000 horsemen.

You can call it whatever you want, but the bottom line is, it divides people, Misles,CAste,Biradri watever.

Khalsa is the only pure alliance, if u want to call it that.

If you are anything else beside SINGH or KAUR then you are not a sikh. :T:

Your reply was not a surprise.I knew this site would give such a reply.

Your not going to even read the highly acclaimed article by Sardar Sunder Singh Ramgarhia are you?

No, I didn't think so.

So you don't believe in learning about Sikh history?That's why I posted this message.For people who are genuinely interested in Sikh history.

Obviously there are some who couldn't care...

Hey hari,

I think Amardeep Singh veerji has a point, believe in the Khalsa panth.

There is no caste in Sikhi, its only brought by people who dont' want to give up their so called high position in society.

And I liked your Manhas ka quote as well, this is usually posted at every gurdwara I goto.

Treat human race as one.

Hari, everyone I know knows ramgharia was a misl. But for the last 200 years its been used as a caste. In fact many people, you ask them what caste are you, they say ramgharia, and they will only marry a ramgharia etc..

ramgharia has become a caste.

So my question would be...

your point?

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
