[QUOTE="Original, post: 203034, member: 14400"] Gang, Chew on the following: a noddy guide to who "really" are the Sikhs [pls accept sincere apologies in advance coz the information below is off-the cuff. As an undergraduate at a Law school one of the area I researched was, the caste system of India. Historical perspective was mind blowing. If it's outdated, I stand to be corrected - much obliged]. The Indo-Europeans lived in areas around the Black Sea or there about. From there they sprouted out into Iran, India, Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Britain and Scandinavia. Wherever they went, they assimilated with the local culture, but interestingly, their religion and language came to play a more dominant role. The Indian Veda scriptures, Greek philosophy [immortality of the soul] and Snorri Sturlusion's mythology [Scandinavian, I think], are all written in related languages, mother of which is Sanskrit. If that'd be correct, it follows, their "ideas" we're related. This is why we [prehistoric academians] usually speak of an Indo- European culture. Need I say, their culture was influenced most of all by their system of belief, many Gods, from the likes of Apollo to Jupiter to Krishna to Thor to Zeus [polytheism, check out the striking similarities between these Gods, they were players and Baba Nanak didn't like that kinda thing and found a monotheistic system=King Singh, 1 God]. But the relevance here is of the Indo-Europen family as being the one and the same, who, as invaders of the Indus Valley civilisation brought with them their religion n culture. Chech out the following: Hindu God Dyaus, which means sky, heaven, day. In Greek its Zeus, in Latin Jupiter and Old Norse Tyr in Scandinavian. These are the dialectal variance of the same word. Of course, as you know the Turks n the Arabs n the Moghuls all had a bash at India. And, much of Punjabi culture is as a direct effect of this foreign invasion, for otherwise we were kool n deadly sing'n and dancing lot, where then, if a girl fancied a fella it was an immediate exchange of garlands without too much fuss. There was none of this ghund [veil] business nor were congregations divided where the guys n dolls set separately. Lot of the Persian aristocracy n social models in general caught 6th n 10th masters fancy, esp the hawk, symbol of royalty. So as I was saying, truth be told, there was a pre-Indo-Europen culture flourishing, remnants of which can still be found in the region of Harappa. Question: What and who were these Indus Valley inhabitants that became subservient to the conqueror Indo-Europens ? Lot of commentators with so much bias have given different versions, I reserve mine. But of course, the true Indians are the Dravidians. Sex n Race [volumes] perhaps, may provide some insight, mind you, I picked that up back in 1975 so fresher evidence must be available. For in depth understanding of Sikhi, know that we were the [B]warrior[/B] apes of the African soil and the battle has always been with the self and not with the world. Guru Nanak's advent upon humanity and the DNA of SinghKaur has all the data necessary to know who you are, why you are, where you come from and where your going. Goodnight n Godbless [/QUOTE]
