Thanks again Emanuel,
very informative and reasoned sumamry. one last thing to conclude i promise ![]() sikhs have overcome persecution one will never (even myself) be able to imagine, most severe the mughals who tried to wipe out the race alltogether. To the limit of executing two of our sikh Guru's (religious messengers/guides/prophets) sikhs survived extinction on numerous occasions with valour with their heritage,customs and culture intact. For Sikhs, the kirpan and in fact arms in general are equal to the holy scriptures and most revered (worthy of worship) mostly as it can take life and give life (protect/save) thanks emanuel i will say nothing more on the subject and try to please the other members and moderators with some cool pics. if you have any questions Emanuel (or anyone) on Sikhism please do not hesitate to ask and i will do my best.(criticism is welcome too) |

Hi _Soldier,
Fair enough, and thanks for the pictures, I love tulwars. Since we're talking about the kirpan, what do old/original examples look like? The blade is essentially a khanjar, but how different or similar are the old ones from the present ones? Here in Canada, I've seen this variety: ![]() I'll contact you shortly... Regards, Emanuel |
