NONSENSE!
There was nothing like #BandiChorrDivas. You engineered it to further divide Hindu & Sikhs for your cynical politics —not caring damn about what’ll be the spiritual costs of weaning Sikhs from their roots and larger culture and festivities.
Here’s a thread, Hallelujah!

Here’s handwritten letter by Guru Tegh Bahadur, asking the congregation of Pak Pattan to visit him for DIWALI!
He was the son of Guru Hargobind. So you know, but 9th Guru didn’t, that there was some Bandi Chorr Divas regarding his father. Really?!

Then here’s letter by Guru Hargobind’s grandson, Guru Gobind Singh Ji himself. Dated 5 Oct 1699, or AFTER formation of Khalsa.
He too is asking congregation of Naushera Pannuan to visit him for DIWALI 🪔. NOT some #BandiChorrDivas. You know better than Dashmesh Pita, again?

Remember puffing on red-tipped Phantom Sweet Cigarettes as a child, to look cool?
With huge advertising, smoking was made a fashionably acceptable social behaviour, at work, in bars, cinemas
homes etc; imposing all activities being incomplete without a #Cigarette !

Smoking #cigarette was legitimated, celebrated & glamourized on Hollywood screen through stars like Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney
Spencer Tracy, Gary Cooper
Humphrey Bogart,Lauren Bacall Marlene Dietrich etc, ensuring that it’d never lose its sophisticated lofty significance

#Cigarette was ‘imposed’ across all social classes & women!
In 1925, #Marlboro was introduced as a woman’s cigarette, ‘Mild as May’
The poison was thus transported to the rest of the world!

Aurangzeb sent #GuruGobindSingh ji a Quran as a promise to allow him a safe passage from Anandpur. December 1704, Guru ji left Anandpur with family & 700 followes. While resting in Chamkaur Garhi, they were attacked by trecherous Mughals.

If it was true, ShriKrishn wouldn’t convince Arjun to pick up his weapons for Dharm Yuddh, practicing Ahimsa in such conditions would be Adharm that’d incur sins for neglecting his duties!
अथ चेत्त्वमिमं धर्म्यं संग्रामं न करिष्यसि
ततः स्वधर्मं कीर्तिं च हित्वा पापमवाप्स्यस।
अथ चेत्त्वमिमं धर्म्यं संग्रामं न करिष्यसि

If Ahimsa was the bedrock of Bharat’s existence, Shri Ram wouldn’t carry his Dhanush to Vanvaas.
Rishi Parshuram wouldn’t kill Karityavir Arjun & lead 21 campaigns against him with Brahmins that he turned into warriors!

If Ahimsa was the bedrock of Bharat’s existence,
kalaripayattu & vadakkan kalari-with more emphasis on weapons; wouldn’t have been the earliest Martial Art, taught to Rishis by Parshuram & Agastya;
Bodhidharma’s kalaripayattu wouldn’t have transformed into Shaolin KungFu!
