Why Hindus Never Truly Embraced Sikhi (The Sehajdhari Lie) (English)

Hindus like Puneet Sahani claim their ancestors raised their elder sons as Sikhs out of genuine devotion. This episode proves that claim is a lie backed by nothing but Hindu nationalist myth making originating with Lala Lajpat Rai and Savarkar. The historical record tells a completely different story. Bhai Sukha Singh Shahid Mari Kambo converted to Sikhi of his own free will and his own family drugged him, cut his Kes and killed his infant daughter. Master Tara Singh converted and his father threw him out of the house. Pandit Har Kishan converted and his orthodox Hindu father fainted in Maharajah Ranjit Singh's court cursing the Maharajah for destroying Sanataan. Professor Sahib Singh converted and the family Pandit grabbed his belongings calling him polluted. Swami Ram Tirath studied the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, became Sikh and his family disowned him. This is the Hindu record on Sikh conversion. Not devotion. Rejection. Violence. Disownment. Gurdino was never a Hindu practice. It was always a Sikh institution. Giani Gian Singh's Shamsher Khalsa documents how Sehajdhari Khatris and Jatts raised their elder sons as Khalsas as a generational investment in Sikhi not as a favour to Sikhs. The Saakhis of Guru Amardas and Guru Arjan explicitly differentiate Sikh identity from Hindu identity centuries before the Khalsa was even created. The Sehajdharis were never Hindus. Gurdino was never a Hindu gift. And the myth that Hindus raised their sons for the Khalsa is exposed completely in this episode.
