[QUOTE="tony, post: 98434, member: 2152"] Dear Gyani ji Thank you for your comments they are much appreciated and please believe me when i say that i am in no way against the five ks nor will i ever disrespect those who wear them, I'm not a jaat nor anyone else who is after taking control of the Gurdwaras I have enough problems with running my own life. Now you have asked me two questions 1. why was it called Keshgarh. My answer is no idea as i dont speak panjabi, I have tried to look it up but could omly find the kesh/ kes, meaning unshorn/ untrimmed, could not find the word garh attached to kesh or unattached. 2. why did Guru Gobing Singh ji draw the naked sword That seems pretty obvious, he wanted someone who would truly offer their head, look how long it took for each to decide to offer theirs and how few actually did, then look at how many and how quickly the rest did once they new he wasnt going to kill them, so may be not for drama but definetly to get only those who truly would sacrifise themselfs. You dismissed the idea of 5 weapons quite quickly, why ?. I will give you 5 with the letter K 1. Kirpaan 2. Khandha 3. Kaman (bow) 4. Katar 5. Karpa bharchla (a Spear) only a thought You have mentioned 1984 and how the Sikhs had their hair cut before tyres where put round their neck and set alight. the reason for cutting their hair, again is simple what is the most precious thing for a Sikh after God. A good way for a muslim to humiliate a Sikh before death. One can deny that hair is not precious to a Sikh but look at the threads on hair.
