<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->On The Question Of Haqiqat Raiâs Religion:
It is extremely important that we discuss the question of Haqiqat Raiâs faith since it is very noticeable that many Sikh sites claim that Haqiqat Rai was a Sikh martyr and the Hindu community must find out whether Haqiqat Rai was in fact Sikh or Hindu.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well In order to decipher the real religion of Bhai Haqiqat Rai.
Sikh means Shishya of a Guru and Hindu means what? At that time when Zakriya Khan was ruling Lahore only people resisting him were Shishya of the Sikh Gurus i.e. Sikhs or Khalsa. Zakriya Khan had ordered 1 rupee prize for alive sikh while 2 rupees for a dead sikh. Sikh women prisoners were given 40 maunds of grain to grind each day (on chakki) else their children were killed.
Bhai Haqiqat Rai had the courage to resist the Qazi and thus he was a Sikh. You can claim anything about his religion. but a Sikh is he/she who is saint as well as a Soldier. A meek who bows down to pressure is not a SIKH and from that point alone Bhai Haqiqat Rai was a Sikh.
Once again.. the day all Hindus of India realize the importance of being a Saint and a Soldier (emphasis on Soldiering part) we will usher in a new beautiful India.
on the Visakhi day of 1699, Guru Gobind Singh when creating the Khalsa declared that "Rajputs have forgotten their Dharma and are thus giving away their daughters to Turks, from these common folks (nai, jhweer, jats, chamars, khatris, etc) I will create such a force that will restore the pride at any cost"
During Meer Mannu and Zakriya Khan's ruling.. we had Bhai Haqiqat Rai's martrydom! Bhai Taru Singh's martyrdom! Bhai Mani Singh's martyrdom! Bhai Tara Singh's martyrdom and many others... While you can continue down to discuss the technical details of who is a Hindu, what is a Hindu and who is not.
As well as I am concerned any of Gandhiian, Buddhist and Jains are not Hindus! (they are far away from the center balance of Saint and Soldier). The real Hindus are the Real Khalsa.
