Image via WikipediaHow and why Sikh Gurus have been putting behind the curtains by raisng new heroes is a one of the major questions. We notice in Punjab that Saint Jarnail Singh, Bhagat Singh, Banda Singh Bahadur and lot many others are getting all fame. Their projection goes as religious, political, spiritual, reformists and all that they did. It gives most of the youth imitate them without ever reading about what Sikhism, Gurus and Bhakats have been.
It seems the clans have developed to sharp edges and seem to claim as if the founders of Sikhism even though Sikhism not at all endorses the cast or clan system.
Most of the problems that Sikhs face seem to having its roots in the agriculture and farming. Anyone belonging to farmers clans or casts have two main advantages in Sikhism:
1. Sikh is a Saint: So, anyone can assume to be a saint
2. Sikh is a Soldier: So, anyone can assume to do all anti-social works by violence and yet claim a great solider and saint.
If something is left it is matter of purity of heart. This is what we know as Khalsa, the one, who is pure in heart. So, many associate the word Khalsa after their name Singh or Kaur.
Thus, Sikhism seem to be misused as being Saint, Soldier and Pure person without doing anything. It has thus corrupted the politics, religious practices and other social morals and values.
For example, the Sikhs has never wanted to rule the nation or world, but during the Era of Ignoring Sikh Gurus and teachings the caste and clan system has developed a socio-religious groups. Almost all seem to equate to be gurus.
This very broadminded Philosophy of Sikhism seem to have had opened the rooms for communism. It is very difficult when we consider a communist and a Sikh as both are similar in many ways. The communists usually project Sikhs as communists in so many ways as Saint (Philosopher and Thinker), Soldier (Armed Persons) and boosting all of it as Pure People (the Khalsa).
Whether it is 5 Year Planning System or the National Level Emergency in India in 1977 and the the Operation Blue Star in 1984 was developed theory of propagation of communism in the minds of Sikhs that had already put Sikhs in great difficulties even before the dawn of the Sikhism as discussed below:
"Bhai Mani Singh appointed as Arbitrator: Mata Sundari, the widow of Guru Gobind, came to learn of the trouble brewing between the two military factions at Amritsar. She appointed Bhai Mani Singh as the Granthi of the Harimandir and sent him to Amritsar with Kirpal Singh (Chand), the maternal uncle of Guru Gobind Singh to resolve the feud. The choice on Bhai Mani Singh seems to have fallen for intrinsic reasons also since Bhai Mani Singh, like Baba Baba Amar Singh was of Kamboj lineage and it was therefore hoped that he could better convince Baba Amar Singh and bring him to concilliation in the broader interests of the Khalsa Panth.
The feud resolved but......
After assuming office of the Head-Granthi in 1721, Bhai Mani Singh sent invitations to both parties to assemble on the Vaisakhi occasion. Both factions again met at Amritsar in compliance of the invitation from Bhai Mani Singh but with all the malice in their minds set against each other. At Amritsar, the Tat Khalsa took unilateral control of the Akal Bunga while the Jhanda Bunga was taken over by the Bandai Khalsa led by Baba Amar Singh.
Using a simplistic but well-intentioned procedure, Bhai Mani Singh was finally able to resolve the feud and restore peace among the warring factions and put the affairs of the Darbar Sahib in order in 1722. The final decision was that the Tat Khalsa was declared the genuine successor to Guru Gobind Singh and the Harimandir Sahib.

The communism along with imperialism looked for any conflicts and used it. There is a point that when British Imperialism was decline in England Karl Marx was developing Marxism (Source: http://louisproyect.wordpress.com/2006/05/10/did-karl-marx-endorse-imperialism/). Now, we have more divisions based on almost all categories of human race and thus Global Imperialism, the New World Order. It is already going on and thus being aware makes a difference rather than living in darkness as if an ignorant.
The Sikh Gurus, Bhakats (or Bhagats), Gurbani and thus Shri Guru Granth Sahib does not teach it. Let us not forget what Sikh Gurus have taught us.
Thanks for your time reading it.
