Hi All,

I recently heard about this book. They condemed it on sikhsangat, so I thought to myself it must be good if they want to ban it

here is the book launch:

I have gone through the book..although not in detail ..just a glance ..The book was launched at Huzoor Sahib during the 300 saal celebrations 2008 ...Well ..as long as you dont have allergy to the Puratan Sanatan Sikhi and are not nostalgic about Nihangs, their beliefs and ways of life you will enjoy it.

Read the book as a piece of information rather than some comments which i anticipate on the author Bhai Niddar Singh ji Jathedar Buddha Dal UK . He is the King of controversies in the Sikh World.

I should confess i was waiting for this book since last 3 years. It does share remarkable history you will not find anywhere else and I salute Bhai Niddar Singhji for all the research He has done Once upon a time i was a fan of Bhai Niddar Singh ji

I think I will buy it and read it. Sounds pretty good to me.

Also I would say the people who criticise him are probably more controversial.

This is one of the first times I have heard of Bhai Niddar Singh ji. He has wrote somethings in this book I believe that do not go with the Gurus teachings. And once asked to justify his claims like Kaurs can cut hair he had no answer and apologized for his mistakes. I respect him for owning up to his mistakes. There should be more men like him in this world that don't let their pride get the better half of them.

Regarding the book it can go either way.

He's only human, and I suppose as humans we make mistakes. The best researchers do.

There are few names that can get the youth of UK riled up like that of Niddar!!!

I have read Paramjit's previous publications (thoses he wrote with Amandeep Singh Madra) and believe they are of high quality. I have yet to read this one.

I have just received my copy of this book and I would highly recommend it.

It is very well put together, and very well researched, with some beautiful illustration and well sourced and research.

The controversial bit is the section on the current Jathedhar of Hazoor Sahib Kulwant Singh who seems to be a real light weight and complicit in the destruction of Sikh Architecture. There are shocking pictures of demolition of the Ramgarhia Bunga at night time under the cover of darkness. I think Kulwant Singh (who seems pro AKJ or DDT) is/was complicit in this descration of Sikh Architecture. Who needs the GOI to bomb Sikh temples when we have Jathedar Kulwant Singh doing it.

No wonder there is such venom coming from (AKJ/DDT) quarters against Niddar Singh. I say good on Niddar Singh for exposing this and good on him for showing things as they are. Pictures don't lie and the demolition pictures are there for all to see.

On another note Jathedar Kulwant Singh seems to have abandoned the Martial tradition of the Hazoori Sikhs which was kept up by the previous Jathedar Joginder Singh Moni. He seems like an all round wimp, spineless and a corrupt to boot. Sorry for the strong words but what I am reading and the pictures make me really angry.

Nihang Niddar Singh and Paramjit Singh should be praised for exposing this.

Please see my comment on the thread, Nihang Niddar Singh: What is the Controversy? Good work.
