In 300 Years, Will a Sikh Wear a Kirpan or a Lightsaber?

The story would have been different had Sikhism advocated only the Kirpan, but in reality, the kakaars are so tightly woven in the fabric of Sikhism that it is practically impossible to segregate them out.

Consider, a non-Sikh sporting a Kirpan, but he does not have the bliss of 'Charhdikala' and 'Nirbhau'. That does not make him much different from other people on the street. Anyone may buy the kakaars from the market, but from where will we buy the philosophy? Sikhism is a way of life, not only the metaphysical, not only the physical, but essentially the best of both.

Singh should defend himself by any means necessary. You dont bring a knife to a gunfight, and you dont bring a gun to a bomb site.

in the 1965 war..the Paksitanis had the best American Fighter planes the F16...and India had the aging Migs....but the difference was in the PILOTS !!!

Thankyou all for your participation,the question I feel is not of the type or size of kirpan ,the question is ,is it the practice of Gurbani and faith in God that makes a Sikh fearless or the Kirpan and Rehat?

Just to correct you Gyani ji There were no F-16 in PAF and Migs were at that time were new and of latest technology but India had very few of them.Pakistan Had Sabre ,F-104 and Canberra while India was heavily relying on Gnat and Hunters which were very poor quality.and Yes Indian Pilots were superior.
Nirmaljeet singh sekhon took his 1 Gnat to take on 6 Sabre aircrafts in 1971 war
and shot down 2 of them while 4 others retreated when they attacked Srinagar airbase.

I saw aerial dog fights in Amritsar as well as some of the bombing damage near Atari just on the other side of Khalsa College Amritsar. Lot of anti-aircraft fire would light up the sky too at night.

Sat Sri Akal.

The beauty of this question lies in itself. Gurbani is a great means of personal and spiritual instruction, and the practice of Gurbani is the 'Rehat'. The five kakaars, and all the virtues to be practised are a part of the Rehat. Rehat isn't any different from Gurbani, it is the faith in Gurbani that makes the Sikh practise the Rehat.
What else thing other than faith could have motivated Bhai Subeg Singh, Bhai Shahbaz Singh, Bhai Taru Singh et al to maintain their Rehat even in the face of extreme adversities?

Ari Ji

Gurbani is God made, the rehat you refer to is manmade.Those mighty souls were fighting against injustice and for the principle of freedom.Let us all be free Souls and practice the word of God first.

Bhagat Singh ji,
