"A myth, propagated mainly by author Khushwant Singh, that the RSS protected Sikhs before and after the 1984 Sikh Genocide, is still used by BJP supporters and RSS workers"

My article for @BaazNewsOrg

baaznews.org/p/gurjant-sing… I'll take the opportunity to address some questions.

Q: Did RSS save Darbar Sahib during 1947?

A: Frankly, information about RSS during actual events of 1947 are murky at best. It is claimed that RSS protected Harmandir Sahib on 6th March, however no reliable source exists.

How a Sikh should conduct themselves socially, from Prem Sumarag Granth:

-Do not talk too much, except if it be to repeat the Creator's name.

-Do not laugh or smile frequently. Do not speak evil of another.

-Do not prattle incessantly. When you speak, do so with understanding. -If anyone asks you a question, answer him, though not at excessive length.

-If anyone seeks clarification, [take the trouble to] give it, but do not talk unnecessarily.

"Gurmukhs, in the Adi Granth and generally in the Punjab, is applied to this who faithfully follow the commands of the Guru, as opposed to Manmukh, or one who looks to his own will for help and guidance."

"The Khalsa is never a satellite to another power.
They are either fully sovereign or in a state of war and rebellion.
A subservient coexistence they never accept.
To be fully sovereign and autonomous is their first and last demand"
