This forum, thanks to Aman ji broad-mindedness is the most free Sikh forums out there where opinions are allowed and freedom isn't suppressed.
Look Brother,
I am going to make my mind up when I have read his book.
I am sceptical whether his apology was made just to keep the peace or whether he actually apologised for content in his book.
As a general note I am very worried about sites being set up just to slander someone. Here are some examples I found just now:
YouTube - Niddar The Giddar <<< what exactly is he doing wrong here apart from teaching kids self defence? They say he RSS, how and where? Where is he telling peopleto drink alcohol?
Nang Niddar Exposed - DiscoverSikhi.Com <<< More bacwaas posted by the notorious idiot Banda Singh who runs a very dodgy Sikh website that misforms Sikhs about Sikh History.
Nang Niddar Exposed - DiscoverSikhi.Com <<<< more nindya from that fanatical tapoban site.
Niddar 'Singh' <<<< a blog spot set up by a Nindak to slander Niddar Singh? How is this person still a Sikh after slandering someone like this?
Panthic Weekly: Sanatanist Nihang Niddar Apologizes on newly released Hazur Sahib Video <<<< here we have the biggest nindiya platform in the world, Panthic Weekly, slandering him.
Now Singh ji even you have to admit what kind of cowardly "Sikhs" put up such slandering garbage on the internet?
I always thought Sikhs were fearless and if they had a problem they confronted them likewise.
If Niddar Singh has published a book with references then why don't the Nindaks publish a researched book to counter him rather than spreading hate and garbage on the net?
Can you see where I am coming from? No man deserves such slandering.
Here are some of my views:
Now does this make me bad?
- There have always been Sehajdhari Sikhs - monays have been included in this. Remember the monay Brar Jats?
- Alcohol can be used medicinally by Sikhs as can other drugs. The idea is not to get off your head. There are accounts of this from eyewitness's.
- People get all excited because the Baba's and Bhai's he seems to have criticised he is saying are not perfect.Well he's entitled to his view. I have strongly criticised Bhai Randhir Singh in the past about his writings.
- If he believes in a Sanatan version of Sikhi, he is entitled to, jsut as AKJ, GNSSJ, DDT, 3HO etc believe in a heavily Vaishnavised version of Sikhi....even though the latter groups won't admit it.
PS Excuse some of my language, but this Nindiya has got me riled up.

randip singh, I agree 100% with you. You have made some very good points. I'm coming from a neutral point of view and these points are valid. AKJ and other jathas need to realisewhat’s out there and not fight it but logically rectify the issue, if it is an issue.
Niddhar's support has been increasing over the last few years and its continuing to grow. The reason, he has used his brain to deal with the issues not just use brut force. One thing I have discovered with Discoversikhi forum, if you have a separate point of view on a subject, they label you as an RSS agent. For Gods sake it a discussion forum, that’s the whole point of it to discuss these matters.
I apologies if I have offended any one.

Amazon.co.uk: Books: In the Master's Presence: The Sikhs of Hazoor Sahib: 1
Here is the link to the index
Amazon.co.uk: Books: In the Master's Presence: The Sikhs of Hazoor Sahib: 1
Here is the link to an excerpt in the book
Amazon.co.uk: Books: In the Master's Presence: The Sikhs of Hazoor Sahib: 1
This is all about the history of Hazoor Sahib. Not about misleading the youth of Sikhi. If there are errors, the legitimate critics will be other historians -- don't you think?
This doesn't prove anything Aad ji. Presenting the index, table of content, and so on doesn't mean anything. You're making a big assumption and don't even have much support. Please watch the video, its solid proof of what took place and what Bhai Niddar Singh ji apologized for. To repeat myself for the 100th time he apologised for making mistakes in the book In the Master's Presence: The Sikhs of Hazoor Sahib:1and if you listen carefully he says for misleading the Sikh community. I believe that includes the Sikh youth.
After 5 pages of discussion, I'm glad they made the video. Now its clear whose right and whose wrong.
Bhai Sahib none of these people speak for the video where Niddar Singh ji apologises. This information is irrelevant as me saying when Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji was called maya and lifeless by a poster, these views are of this site; Sikh Philosophy Network.
Alot of people put garbage on the internet and it happens on every discussion site. Some are just moorakh people and after being warned they still do it. What can you do about it.
Bhai Sahib, Niddar SIngh ji was confronted about his views in a respectful manner and he apologized for his mistakes.
Bhai Niddar SIngh ji did not apology just to keep peace, if he did then the very kirpan he wears is only for show.
If some jathas are oppressors then the time of the video was Niddar Singh ji time to show who they really are, he would have exposed them. But this was not the case. Some are forgeting the very foundations Sikhi stands on and for this I am really concerned. Where is Sikhi headed if the very foundations are being overlooked.
There is no such thing as Sehajdari Sikh. Guru Gobind Singh Sahib jis Hukam was for all Sikhs, there was no exceptions made.
Bhai Sahib ji, you are missing the point. He apologized for his views infront of his own Singhs, which also don't agree with him. He wrote a book that can be available globally and misguide the Sikh community and others.
About the alcohol part if you watch the video again they are saying, you said Singh can drink sharaab meaning consume alcohol as alcohol, not as medicine. And if he did not mean it that way then he would have spoken up and said you are misintrepriting what I have said or one of his SInghs would have done it. Same with the haircutting comment. It comes clear what is at question and what Nddar Singh ji apologizes for in the Video. I had to watch it a couple of times to get what was being said.
1 Question:
Have you read his book?
Because that alleged apology really means nothing.
No. these are my views not the views of this site. My view is that AKJ, DDT, GNSSJ etc sites spewed out garbage that has led people to post abuse about Niddar Singh.
You can stop AKJ, DDT, GNSSJ sites from allowing garbage to be posted on their sites that fuels this.
Were you there?
How do you know someone wasn't holding agun behind the camera? How do you know that there were not mutitudes there to get him?
If this is what you think then you do not under stand the code of the SantSipahi. Ever heard of the term "discretion is the better part of valour?" He used discretion to shut up a baying mob, kudos to him.
Come on. Is that what you really think? That is pretty naive.
This video has been used to ridicule him. Those jathas should hang their heads in shame.
I beg to difffer. Read some history and find out who was looking after Sikh shrines when othodox Sikhs were in hiding in the jungles.
STOP.
Have you read the book. If you haven't then you cannot make that comment. You should withdraw it.
You cannot reason with bayiong mobs or uneducated people in my experience. Niddar did the right thing and told them what they wanted to hear, and apologised.
The educated people can make up their own mind by buying the book and reading it.....my copy is coming soon and I look forward to reading it.
I never said these views are of the site. Re-read that part again.No. these are my views not the views of this site. My view is that AKJ, DDT, GNSSJ etc sites spewed out garbage that has led people to post abuse about Niddar Singh.
This view is biased as it gets. Don't be looking in a 90 degree angle. Do a turn 360 degrees then write on this.You can stop AKJ, DDT, GNSSJ sites from allowing garbage to be posted on their sites that fuels this.

Don't need to be there, the video shows it all.
You didn't take it to the extreme should have said how do you know if someone wasn't holding a sniper rifle through the window and a grenade launcher in the corner. Really childish stuff Bhai Sahib.
Prove that there was a mob there. Maybe the mafia was there. Flew in from Italy and New York. Then the New jersey crew came in there nicley tailored suits and forced Niddar Singh ji to apologize.
Naive about what? His own Singhs that questioned his view should hold there head in shame for questioning his views and then proven him wrong! What are you getting at.
Start a new discussion topic about if Sehjadhari Sikhs exist. All these political names have no place in Sikhi.
Bhai Sahib you are not making any sense.
Too bad this isn't a trial, Randip Singh ji you would be a terrible lawyer. Overlooking every fact and sticking to personal views. Thank God this stuff does not work in court rooms and in Gods court.
Singh, My brother,
Have you met Niddhar Singh? In my personal opinion, you have not met him. You have been listening to many of your friends. The other thing, you have your ways and you are stuck with them, so Veer ji i really do feel sorry for you.
Discoversikhi.com, is a forum which is based on AKJ set views and YES very one faced views. Brother, everyone has different views and if you are not going to discuss these, you sound like someone from islam. With many of the Jathas, its their way or no way to sikhi. So carry on and i think if you don't like the comments being posted on this forum, you should not post on this forum.
Forgive me if i have offended anyone.
