What do you do when your peaceful protests are met with brutal or deadly force?

Seeing the current Palestinian and israeli conflict with heavily armed border guards shooting dead over 15 civilian protestors and injuring more than 1500 using disproportionate use of deadly force.

The heavily armed british imperialists in india cane/baton charge injuring or shooting dead or executing Indian (often sikh) dissidents who wanted to free India from foreign rule.

Seeing how our own Sikh peaceful protests in punjab were met with deadly force by the heavily armed Indian authorities from 1950s-Present day.

The south african white apartheid regime that had ruled south africa treating blacks with similar status and  similar use of force

How do you fight a state power enemy or opposition group that is armed to the teeth, with huge resources with numerous regional and world power allies yet you have very little to counter that in this day and age?

Is it better just to not bother and let your peoples lives, land and rights be trampled over or do you fight back with violence no matter how high the cost?

When two tribes go to war the one with greater numbers or firepower usually wins that battle at that moment but not always the war if its pro-longed over decades. The battles of forceful  people over peaceful people as history of human civilization itself

Mainly I think the fight is informational. 

If protest is required, be ready to fight on your terms, when the peaceful protest is made violent by the oppressors, and fully.

You keep chipping away on as many fronts as possible until those who write the narrative of society deem your cause worthy of being noticed. If you're lucky, the cause is promoted and championed by these social trendsetters and mood-makers. Then watch how it passes into the acceptable and normal mainstream. Until then, be prepared to be demonised, slandered, and killed. It's all one disturbing game; disturbing because what's at stake are the lives of millions.

    • 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.
