Lol the it will be a "jatha" of Singhs that do the naam technique to defeat the enemy without the shastar. Maybe that is why they are called a jatha??? 

Now now, you better tread carefully!!

uh.. did I say jatha of Singhs, maybe I meant jatha of pandits to defeat Babbar with jantar tantar mantar 

by the way are the admins that are jatha biased still around?? It's really not good when admins put babas, bhais and "jathedaars" before our Guru!

Educate me if you would brother. 

Jatha is an armed group of sikhs?

Shastar are weapon types?

What makes this comment offensive, is there a double meaning I don't understand, or a sexual connotation?

We are both resident Pandits here. So now you are in seriously dangerous territory!

lol noooo

ok well since last century some jathas aren't actually armed Singhs, they are just actually jathebandis and sects parading around as "jathas" to confuse the unsuspecting sikhs. And they also have some friction with regularly armed Singhs such as Nihangs.

*sigh* humanity. 

That's too bad.  I guess that is the double edged sword of having such a distinct image as a group.  It's great for oh so many reasons, but then it makes it possible to impersonate too.

No real solution for things like that.  Impersonating an officer is a crime in the USA, and we definitely have a problem with "stolen valor" or military/veteran impersonators.  If you know your dress regs and your military culture you can sniff them out pretty quick but it doesn't keep a lot of people from posing.

Gangs in the US handle impostors another way, but it's very violent.  Like ...death...or taking tattoos off with an iron kind of solution.  Not really a great solution either.

Just another frustration in maya designed to teach us sahej I guess.

Jatha literally means "band" or "group".

It's not offensive per se, it's inter-Sikh banter.

They are referring to a paticular Jatha which is somewhat famous but controversial. Such discussions are not allowed here due to sentiments being hurt.

One day your name may come up in an over enthusiastic Kirtan roadshow for attempting such a discussion.

Kind of like talking about the IRA and the troubles in Irish culture?

Maybe, good question. They're way more chilled out now. People don't bash each other over Samparda and Jathebandi anymore really barring a few. Else they wouldn't allow some views here which verge on "Hinduism". It's all good.
