Did left wing liberalism or right wing nationalism brought success to Sikhs in the past?

[genie]

We as a Sikh community need to look back at our past to see what sort of politics what sort of world view brought us success upon success and victory upon victory. Was it the left wing liberal world view or was it right wing nationalist viewpoint?

I would argue we started of as a left wing liberal faith with few numbers and became right wing nationalist after persecutions and gained an empire and huge demographic rise and now we have become left wing liberal again at the determent of our faith and people.

Sikhs have never been liberal or conservative by western standards, you can't take western political philosophy and mix it with Sikhi, (or any eastern religion). Subcontinental conservative and Western conservative philosophy is not compatible with each other, neither is Subcontinental liberalism and Western liberalism.

A balance between the two extremes is best in my opinion.

Nonsense before liberalism was a term in the western world sikhi embodied it

I would like to agree, but we both know both sides have their own irrationalities. We need a system for actual Gursikhi as some people are completely lost, (like the guy right above this post).

There is a system for gursikhi, it's called Sikhism
