I want to ask one thing.

Even today numerous Sikh Historians (here I mean non-Sikh historians also who write sikh history) are emerging. But there is a question in my mind is that what will be the use of writing the almost same thing by many person again and again. I mean, suppose now one would want to become historian.what will he do? He would study SGGSji,SDGSji, Writings of Bhai Gurdas ji, and some scriptures (Gyan parkash, Twarikh e Khalsa, Parchia, So Sakhi etc.) to know the history of the Sikh Guru, and accounts and books of Sikh, British, Muslims, Hindus' Scholars, Governors, politicians, and some official records to know the history of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and afterwards. At the most, he would visit the historical places to further inquiry. But after doing all this, what would he write. Surely (I think) he would write the same things which already been written in the previous mentioned Scriptures. What can he write new thing? And what will be the use of the Writing? If the writings are of no remarkable use then why many of the professors of history in the punjab are keep publishing their own History books?

Or is it better to write contemporary History which the Historian can see himself Happening?

Note: I am not against the History writing I am just curious and want to know the opinions of others and the FURTHER SCOPE OF WRITING GURUs HISTORY AND THE HISTORY OF MAHARAJA RANJIT SINGH.

Hope I have conveyed my thoughts clearly.

    • 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.
