I have one question left. If the only purpose of Sikhi is to meditate and accept the will of God then what was the point of Building Akaal Takhat. Why didn't Gurus just accepted the will of God and fought with Muslims. What muslims were doing to hindus was not a will of God? It was but Gurus said God gave us these two hands and we should work hard and stand on truth. Why did even Sikhs borther to fight in 18th century and after 100 years there was a Khalsa Raj? When you become a Sikh your identity either political or spiritual becomes one. So there is no point in saying that you have different political identity. There is no political system better than Akal Takhat. Look at Jews. They are accpeting will of God but there are less jews in the world than Sikhs. Did they not accept will of God in WW2 but they lost 6 million of their people. Had they fought with two hand that God gave them, the holocaust wouldn't have happened. Indian government's plan was to go to every village and kill Sikhs but Sikh army rebelled and government's attention turned to rebellions, otherwise they would've killed all SIkhs from age 5 to 30 so that no SIkh would marry within next 20 years and the population would decrease. I know the will of God was to not get Sikhs killed but the only was to prevent it was to fight against it. Did Guru Gobind SIngh not say "When all other means have failed it is your right to draw a sword and fight for your rights" So you are saying you don't belong to political system of Guru Gobind Singh instead American politics which is created by a human who is never perfect. Once you are 21 you can legally buy drugs and smoke tobacco. This is american politics. Is this your identity???? If you are a Sikh you belong to Anandpur Sahib and highest political authority becomes Akaal Takhat. Did Panj Pyare not tell you that or you are sticking with american political system on purpose? The whole point is to fight for truth while doing Naam Simran and following Sikhi. Besides fighting is part of SIkhi which you guys are not following. A Khalsa is Sant and Sipahi. In other words, Sanit and Soldier. I consider myself a soldier of Guru Gobind SIngh because I believe in his political system not american. You guys are Saint and a lot more than me but not Soldier. A Khalsa sould fight his inner theifs and outer theifs. If you don't fight then anyone can take over you. Jews have suffered for over 5000 years but if they had fought the opression it would be a lot different. If it is only about meditating then Guru Nanak wouldn't speak against Babur. Babur didn't do anything to him but Guru spoke for human rights and truth which you guys don't and this is not Sikhi. I speak for human rights whether it be Sikhs or Jews or Christians in India. I think you guys are missing the whole point. By the time you reealize the truth, it be too late but Khalsa Shall Rule. Punjab belongs to us and we will rule it. You didn't reply to my question: If your american political system turns against you, would you still keep the same identity and if Punjabi Sikhs didn't speak out for you how would you feel. Or you would just forget about the whole thing and get yourself killed. Guru said "Soora SO Pehchaniye Jo Lare Deen Ke Heth" So why shouldn't we fight to protect religion. If we should wait for God to do it then why did Gurus say it? Just for the heck of it? Think about it. Perhaps you should get yourself out of the trap of Yogi Bhanjan's thinking and think about it, only for a moment. Don't limit yourself. We are responsible for our own actions then we are responsible for doing good and bad things. It is not will of God. My point is a fish can swin against the flow of water but can never escape water. I think you know what i mean. That's all I have to say. God Bless you all and mey bring us all to the right path so we all become one. Waheguru JI Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji KI Fateh

Thanks for your post. It's been quite stimulating reading your words and has given me a chance to understand your perspective better. I've learned a LOT reading what you've had to say. Maybe one day -we should have a conference on this topic, so that youth from all backgrounds and all points of view can come together and discuss these issues. You have a great warrior spirit. May God and Guru keep guiding you on the path of light, strength, love and freedom.

Sincerely,
