[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 97792, member: 189"] Guru Piayare Tejwant Singh Ji, Gurfateh. From what I have read one of the very first conditions Guru nanak ji placed before Bhai mardana Ji was..stop cutting your hair..stop smoking. And the Janmsakhis report that Bhai mardana Ji never cut his hair and enver smoked again all his life long. Imho all the GURUS had uncut hair and long beards...Janamsakhis report at least two instances of the Gurus using their Long Beards to wipe the feet of....those who came to "upstage" them...one of them was Baba sri Chand..whose feet were wiped by Guru Ramdass Ji using his beard..and Baba ji remarked...This Humility is one of the reaons WHY you all got the Gurgadhee and I didnt. Thus I would assume that most followers of the GURUS would be having uncut hair and beards....only those not yet fully convinced/shardhaloos or those still following their old customs would still be not fully compliant. The SIKH DHARMA was in its "SEHAJDHAREE STATE"..from 1469 - 1699...imho the Sikh Forces under Guru Har Gobind Ji would be unlikely to be similarly dressed in the same uniform as was common for the KHALSA after 1699. Similarly until the time of Banda Singh, the SIKHS were NOT PERSECUTED as a GROUP...not targetted for TOTAL ELIMINATION...ethnic cleansing/GENOCIDE...so everyone kept an easy going style...until Vasakhi 1699. 2. It is obviuos Guru Gobind Singh ji had CHANGES in mind...IF everyone was already "KHALSA COMPLIANT"..whats to change ?? WHY ASK for 5 HEADS..IF everyone was already giving his head ?? WHY bring the Panj Forward in Totally NEW DRESS ?? IF everyone was already wearing those Bannas ?? Thats itself proof that CHANGES were sought and Made..and change is only made if things are not all A-OK. It is a historical fact that on the day of Guru teg bahadur Jis Martyrdom..NOT one SIKH dared come forward. His Body and sees were carried off in subterfuge to Anandpur Sahib/and the place of cremation in Delhi hidden in a caravan of cotton and burnt secretly. After the Time of BANDA SINGH..Khalsas were PUBLICLY arrested..tortured..and gladly accepted DEATH. No Khalsa wanted to be Dastarless/invisible...even to save his life...everyone activley sought death rather than convert. as Late as the 1984 and DECADE after that..ONLY Banna wearing Fully AMRITDHAREE KHALSA were hunted by the Indian Authorities for torture and death in police custody. This is the real reason behind the wave of dastaar removals in Punjab..a dastaar invited trouble...and many in the West now go dastarless just to escape racist violence - post 9/11..because being with dastaar is like carrying a red flag...similar to Bnada singh time in Punjab.
