[QUOTE="Kully, post: 213936, member: 20967"] I have watched some of this video. I didn't watch it all as there were some important points I wanted to share here before progressing through more of the video. I shall do so, as I offer my viewpoints on some of the points DKS makes. Firstly I would like to start with the fact that DKS states in this video that Sikhs, or more specifically the Dal Panth, were living in jungles for 70 years in which time the custodians of the Gurdwaras subverted the thrust of Gurmat by introducing Dasam Granth to the Sikhs. He states that because of this 70 year absence the Udasis/.Nirmalas were able to accomplish this. ( I will address that point later). However if we take a close look at this, we can see that it is simply not accurate. The Dal Panth were never far from Amritsar throughout the 70 years, and throughout several periods were in control of the institutions there. We know from history that the Dal Panth were there in control of Amritsar for periods in every single decade from 1708 to 1770. In some cases of these decades the Sikhs were there for several years. Every now and then anti-Sikh pogroms occured which drove the Dal Pannth into the jungles/mountains but they were never in those jungles/mountains for decades. It is a poor assertion that the control of what was happening in Amritsar was outside the control of Sikhs for 70 years. Furthermore this also brings up the point that several people claim the Dasam Granth was introduced to the Sikhs in the 1800s. (which is false) but those who accept DKS views in this video are part of that section of intellectuals who believe that DG was introduced to Sikhs in the 1800s. So if these same intellectuals wish to claim that Dasam Granth was introduced after the 1800s then DKS has produced a video which is based on a false premise from the outset. Here are some years that come up in history that show the Sikhs to be in control of Sri Darbar Sahib and Amritsar: Banda Bahadurs army was in control of Amritsar for some of the time of his wars- 1712-1716. Bhai Mani Singh settled the dispute between Tatt Khalsa and Bandai Khalsa in Amritsar in 1721. In 1726, the Sikhs were in agrowing position of strength so much, that they were able to plunder the Govt treasuries passing close to Amritsar. IN 1731 the Lahore Suba began a pogrom against Sikhs which resulted in the Dal Panth leaving Amritsar until 1733 ( a period of less than 2 years) when there was non-stop fighting between the state and the Sikhs. In 1733 seeing as the Sikhs could not be subdued a nawwabgi was offered and again the Sikhs returned to Sri Darbar Sahib to take control. In 1734 Nawab Kapur Singh gave further organisation to the Sikhs at Sri Darbar Sahib and the Sikh Panth started to again meet here every Diwali and Vaisakhi to discuss strategy etc. In the begining of 1735 Zakriya Khan drove the Sikhs out of Amritsar but they had returned to take over Sri Darbar sahib again before the Diwali of that year. IN 1736, the Lahore govt again attacked the Sikhs in Amritsar but were severely beaten leaving the whole of Amritsar under Sikh control. IN 1739, Nadir invaded and on his return through Panjab a few months later he advised Zakria to uproot the SIkhs. Zakria led a massive army agains the Sikhs in Amritsar and took Sri Darbar Sahib under moghal control. The Sikhs then regained control of Sri Darbar Sahib in 1745, where they celebrated Diwali. And there is more.... Just from the above it is clear that the Sikhs may not have been in direct control of their prime institutions for some months and years, but it is absolutely untrue to claim there was some 70 years absence.
