Hi guys,

I'm writing an "anti-corruption" story for which I require examples of corruption that have occured in Sikhism/Punjab in our Modern history

 

Anyone have any examples?

Thank you so much

In recent Punjabi history, (like very recent), Punjab has a current issue with both the crops as well as water in Punjab being diverted into other states in India, in recent Sikh history the powers of the SGPC have become so corrupted that in the Akal Takht, rather than supporting the actual Jathedar, (Jagtar Singh Hawara), the Akali Dal have pressured Gursikhs into putting a fake Jathedar in, (this was also a case during the Manochahal Singh vs Darshan Ragi). I hope that gives a good start and good luck on your book.

Corruption seems to be our Kaum's speciality nowadays, from corrupt Gurdwara comittees, to fake 'Singhs', fake 'prachariks', fake babeh and our so called political leaders from different parties ready to sell out on the Kaum for anything. For your story look at the corruption which led to us losing the Shere Punjab empire under Maharaja Ranjt Singh with the role of the Dogras, or us losing a large part of Punjab during 1947 with the role of Master Tara Sio or look into the Khalistan movement and you will find plenty of those who sold out on the Kaum.

Read about the life and role of one of the greatest Sikh leaders Master Tara Singh before writing nonsense about him.

If you knew your history you would have seen that because of Master Tara Singh we saved some of Panjab. No-one in the world could have kept Panjab muslim majority areas from going to Pakistan.

 

Do some research bro.

I agree that we could not have kept all of Punjab for ourselves, but Tara Sio wasn't a saint. From what I know and have been told from elders in Punjab, is that he was a hindu who was working for the interests of the hindus and british. Either way bro, the sad state our Kaum is in is due to the corruption of our so called leaders, while those who were real such as Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale, Manochahal etc were defamed and killed.

Mind your language and how you refer to Sikh leaders. People like you are only good at writing nonsense.

oh boy now it must be very hard to find examples. Of the top of my head, google 'Badal net worth' to see how that bunch who ran punjab till lately miraculously became a lot more wealthy. Prime examples of dodgyness include how the contracts for the Chandigarh airport were allocated. 

Then just follow the trail for the people smuggling from the punjab to the west (and east). That stuff only happens with plenty of brown paper envelopes. 

Then for the most twisted corruption look at how the 'drugs' end up in Punjab. By some miracle the drugs flow across one of the most contested and secure borders in the world (india / pak). How could could such a situation happen without 'greased palms'? where does all that money come from and go to?

    • 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.
