so you kind of drawing a parallel between english and Jatts and scottish/irish/welsh with non jatt .....say if an English dude wins a gold medal then he's English but if a Scottish dude wins then he's British?

truth is our history is jampacked with people with diverse backgrounds, cultures and languages ...even panj piare is a prime example if you want this rebrushed history and punjabiat dominanace to fade, we have to let the world know that we have that diversity.

I have to disagree with you on this one penji. Firstly, I'm not a Jatt, neither any of the other castes as I am a Sikh. The only place my ancestry has, is to make sure my kids do not some how marry back into family. That's why they will know of their family name. I wish to marry my children within the Sikh panth, not within caste.

The whole point of the diversity of the panj pyare was to unite people and breakdown caste barriers and create one unit, the Khalsa. Hence why when one chaks Amrit they denounce their ancestry.

Ghuggi in the video talks about ithiaas, then goes on to then glorify jatts. This is in no way Gurmat. Only manmat. When someone is wrong, it's simply wrong, to then make excuses is counterproductive for the panth.

Your point of Guru Nanak Dev Ji doing kethibari doesnt represent anything to do with jatts, it simply demonstrates that he practiced what he preached, naam japna, kirat karo and vaandh chako.

The parallel of the whole Brits/English/Irish.......this does not reflect the facts of the Hindu Varna. The national identities are as a whole of the Christian faith and the Irish will be able to marry within the Scottish etc......

Within sikhi, you have one group claiming a large part of history as being victorious due to their blood. This is wrong. We should say it's wrong and move forward as per gurmat. No caste group has any physical/spiritual monopoly on the progression of sikhi. As it was through sacrifices based on Gurmat and the label of the Khalsa Sikh, not Jatt Sikh, dalat sikh....or any other caste based Sikh.

If Guru Nanak never promoted his caste and in his tenth form initiated anyone to become Khalsa and stand equal, who is Ghuggi to then attach labels on sikhi's Mahaan shaheed and Mahaan Sikh? Who is he to call Baba Deep Singh Ji a Jatt and not a Khalsa of Shiri Guru Gobind Singh?

Again, this is wrong and should be highlighted, not accepted and for excuses to be made.

I wasn't making excuses I am saying that punjabiat is the virus we need to eradicate because our panth is universal not tied to any nation or region/culture alone . I was descended from jatts but neither I nor my parents did farming ...it is just the trade of my ancestors, nothing more. I appreciate my ancestors' sikhi more and their actions to fight against oppression, if it wasn't for their steadfastness I wouldn't be blessed with this heritage. I read Sikh itihaas but never thought of who was what ..just how wonderful these people all were and how much I would have loved to live with them and learn at their feet. I never discriminated against anyone for their birth and still don't and yet there are so many in India who claim blood relations to me who feel that jaat is something, so many who claim they speak for me and my Sikh family when they kickout people from sangat for accident of their birth THEY DON'T ...

Not all sikhs were Punjabi many were afghan, Gujrati, assamese, Nepali , Kashmiri etc etc How are we going to recover those sangats if we let antisikh elements like SGPC prevent true parchaar to those regions because of their constant shutting down of projects and support to individuals starting grass roots changes ? Let's pick the the proper battles let AAP come up with anticorruption packages and plans to handle things differently in Punjab whilst we stop casteism in Sikhi's name and really get parchaar going in the Subcontinent

Hello everyone

I went to watch the Ardaas Punjabi movie this weekend and was impressed with the production and the storyline of the entire movie. I believe it to be a benchmark in the Punjabi film industry in which Gippy Grewal has done an excellent job. Gurpreet Ghuggi and others of the the movie cast were also very good in their roles.

In regards to caste and “Jattism” – I do not believe this promoted caste supremacy. In Gippy’s interview he states clearly that in songs and movies to date the Jatts have been shown to be something which they are not – i.e. rich, rule over others, are better than others, are doing so well etc… Gippy states that he wanted to produce the film based on facts and the real life issues such Jatts face. This film shows this clearly.

The only issue I have is with the Punjabi movie industry as a whole – they always focus on the Jatt family / community. There are many other communities that are doing equally well or have their own issues – but these are never covered. Maybe because most of the Punjabi community are mainly of a Jatt caste so producing something they relate to will obviously sell more. This does need to change as it is causing offence and getting on peoples nerves – this is easily done when every single Punjabi song / movie is making a reference to the Jatt caste. The Punjabi enternatinment industry must stop referring to Caste in any form as it is divisive and excluding.

I could go on, but focusing on the subject I would say that Ardaas was a fantastic film.

I agree, the "Jatt" theme needs to stop. It's not cool, and far from respect of others. The songs also need to stop, that's why songs on other castes are being made. The movie industry need to get real and adjust with the present time we are living in.

Hanji, this is the reason I like the movie, as it showed the facts and wasn't about a young man flying off a boat to fight 10 gangsters to just go out with his girlfriend.

But they to think now, how to take this to another stage and carry on in helping the youth to stay on the right track.

Punjabi movies will continue to focus on Jatts or at least give Jatts more significance simply cause they are the primary customer base. The pro-Chamar genre of music doesnt have 1% of the success mainstream Punjabi songs do. I believe movies based around Chamars will suffer similarly. Ardaas delivers many messages, they should have focused a bit more on the caste issues as well, in my opinion. Lets hope our Punjabi Sikh community actually learns a thing or two from this movie.

I think we should be aiming to be prosikh not anything else otherwise we are just swapping out labels that have zero relevance to the actual message of sikhi. No more shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic , let's save the ship

    • 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.
