They used dead animals for:
- Their saddles
- their shoes
- their belts
- their sword holsters
- some of their armour
- The instruments they played
- The seats they sat on
- Animal bones for handles on weapons
I could go on ad infinitum.
They also hunted animals. They used this as a means of training their warriors and also feeding people. I think you need to read more history. Ours is a culture of Sant Siphahi, not of Vaisno-Brahmisim. A Warrior and Saint tradition that involved hunting, fighting and killing. Our religion is being polluted too much by Vaishno influences being brought in by the Jatt/Tarkhan Sant/Dera/Jatha traditions in Punjab which are distorting Sikhi.
My question is not only related to this notion of purity to do with animal hides, but one in general, regarding this purity notion of food too. Why must an Amridhari only eat from an Amritdhari etc?
We are regressing to Vaishno-Brahmisim.
