Padmavati The Film

What are the sangats thoughts on this film because I thought it is a film that all Sikhs should watch.

Its a great depiction of the Islamic rule in India during the times of the Gurus and also gives an insight into The Rajput caste.  It's very informative with spiritual teachings and the art of warfare

it is based on a poem by a muslim Malik Mohammed Jayasi , yes Quilji was a historical character and there was an attack on Chittor  however the poem is more a metaphor on the state of the soul rather than an actual war for the queen of Chittor. Who actually committed jahaur with her sister wives prior to the fall of the citadel . Quilji never saw the queen this is the imaginings of the poet/director

 This is a recent trend in India by mainly Muslims and liberal Hindu historians to deny atrocities by Muslim rulers. The denial of the story of Padmini or Padmavati is a perfect example of this. They say this because the poet Jaisi wrote about this story hundreds of years after the event occurred. But they fail to take into consideration that this is how Indian history was generally recorded. First the heroic event takes place, then it is remembered and passed down orally from generation to generation until it is eventually recorded in written form as a qissa/qasida by a poet.

 

The denial of Padmavati is not the only example. Liberal Hindu historians like Ram Puniyani has completely white washed the atrocities of Aurangzeb. Listen to his bias views of why atrocities were committed on the family of Guru Gobind Singh Jee. He completely changes history and presents Aurangzeb as an amazingly liberal secular ruler

    • 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.
