The major point that we need to consider and focus is that there are many Sikh Taksals, the Traditional Universities of Sikhism and among them are the main as Nanaksar, Mastuana, Rara Sahib and some others. The Research Work in Sikhism focuses on the self-realization so that one can understand how to use the power of knowing, believing or faith and doing it practically. Thus, the above mentioned universities of the Sikhism have done deep research works in Sikhism as with Comparative Religious Studies.
The communists as Naxalites have never been able to influence them.
However, some traditional universities focus more on the baptizing process and other fundamental issues. These have some strong beliefs that makes them act as authority over making decisions about issues that relate to politics as well. The communism has intruded because their politics usually leads to demand nations or so many other things that people want more power, positions, and pennies rather than practicing the religion and faiths.
Thus, youth turned against Sikhism. If there are many Sikhs, the costume drama of dressing as a Sikh seems for politics imaged as patriotism rather than religious or spiritual practices.
These are mainly the kind of preachers and the missionaries. The later one had some influence from communists and thus there were many revolutionary groups started during 1900-1925 AD. This similar to Buddhists having influence from Maoism and Marxism. My focus and concern is on the ones that have nothing to do with movements and revolutionary activities that led Sikhs having identity of as if terrorists...
The rest of the theories of revolution after 1900 were to upset India as making of many nations that has failed because of these saints or the spirituals.
The main universities focused on the research works that is stated as below for world peace:
"Why are you so engrossed in worries? Why are you afraid of some one? Who may kill you? The soul is immortal; it neither dies nor takes birth.
The present is here and now, the past is irrecoverable and the future will be good. Don't fret over the past and don't be worried about the future. The present is going on.
Why do you cry? What did you lose? When you were born, what did you bring along, which has been lost? What did you produce which has been perished? It is here that you gained and it is here that you lose. The man comes to; and goes from world, empty handed.
What you own today was not yours yesterday and will not be yours tomorrow. It does not and will not belong to anyone. You consider it your own and rejoice. This happiness of possession leads you to utter grief.
Yours is this world. Start from where you feel to; stay where you desire and wind up where you want to. It has no beginning and no end. You don't fear anyone, but yourself. You are the fright and also the frightened.
Change is the truth of life. What you consider as death is life in reality. In a moment a multi-millionaire is turned pauper. Give up the feeling of possession, great & the mean; differentiation of friend & foe. Then all is yours and you for everyone. Your corporeal being is a product of air, water and fire and it merges into the same leaving behind neither blood nor bones. Still yours existence remains the same. Then ponder over what you are.
Wake up! and become the eternal sons of the Almighty. You are the great and unique manifestation of Nature's power. All the divine powers are possessed by you, like a tree hidden in the seed.
In fact you don't fear anybody; you don't have any worry, suspicion, pain or grief. You are His dear ones. Surrender yourself completely to Him.
Always, remember the "Waheguru" (God) to achieve salvation. Let your life be guided by the saying "Whatever God wills, is good". Be content with the will of God. Remember Him both in pleasure & pain." (With thanks from the source: http://www.bhorasahib.com/
Most of these saints and spirituals were from military who left for spirituality and started to serve in the Spiritual Universities of Sikhism. They did all of it amidst the Mughal and British Empire.
The notion for making of multiple nations came as a result of revolutionary movements... we will continue...
