1 KALA AFGHANA BRIGADE PART 1 A SIGN OF DESPERATION COPY NAMES OF OTHER FB PAGE by Harnaak Singh In my article Logic and Reasoning in Gurbani Fake Self-Made Guru Says SGGS Ji is a Logical Discourse? at Gurvichar LINK A, I revealed a COPY CAT FB page set up to confuse the Sangat with Kala Afghana propaganda. In this article I will elucidate on this matter. INTRODUCTION To date two new FAKE COPY CAT Facebook pages have been set up to confuse the Sangat. These two are shown in Figures 1 and 2 together with the original authentic page. The imitation page has a red border and the word IMITATION written in red text. The authentic has a green border and the word AUTHENTIC written in blue text. Figure 1: Malaysian Sikh Sangat Imitation COPY CAT and corresponding authentic page 1

2 Figure 2: Gurvichar COPY CAT and corresponding authentic page The FAKE IMITATION pages were set up as follows Imitation Sikh Sangat FB page on LINK B Imitation GirVichar FB page on LINK C The links to the imitation FB pages LINK B and LINK C are given in the dot points above. Generally, especially for COMMUNITY FB PAGES it is not ethical to use the same name as another community page. Imitating another page is done for sinister reasons. I remember one of leading Kala Afghana Brigade member Autar Singh took exception of me proposing a WhatsApp group name that he had been using. I did not know about this. This was on 4-Aug He wanted me to be ethical and not use the name which he seemed to claim. I believe in what my Guru has taught me first of all and then ethics as well as simple morality and agreed not to use the name. See Figure 3. If you TRULY believe in the Guru and claim SGGS Ji is your Guru, you would never even in a dream DO SUCH A THING. I did not. I take this as a TEST OF MY BELIEF in and ALLEGIANCE to my GURU and I passed. IF I DID use the name LZ (Learning Zone), HOW CAN I THEN CLAIM BELIEF IN AND ALLEGIANCE TO MY GURU SGGS JI. THEN MY CLAIM WOULD HAVE BEEN A HOLLOW CLAIM. I would also have contravened ETHICS and SIMPLE MORALITY. 2

3 One thing for sure is those running these TWO FB pages are LYING that they are allegiant to the SGGS Ji. THEY DO NOT HAVE FAITH OR FOLLOW THE GURU s TEACHINGS. THEY ARE ONLY USING SGGS JI TO EXECUTE THEIR SINISTER Kala Afghana Brigade aims. Autar Singh, IF YOU ARE IN ANY WAY INVOLVED WITH OR HAVE ANY CONNECTION TO THESE TWO FB PAGES look into your inner-self and ask what YOUR GURU WOULD WANT YOU TO DO? Then do the RIGHT thing. Figure 3: Autar talking ethics? WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS AND WHAT IS THEIR REASON Why are they doing this: Their intention is to confuse the Sangat and to divert the Sangat to their imitation FB pages. The reason is that the authentic pages have been exposing the kalaian kartutayn ਕ ਲ ਆ ਕਰਤ ਤ of these Kala Afghana Brigade. Figure 4 summarises the main objectives kalaian kartutayn ਕ ਲ ਆ ਕਰਤ ਤ of this Kala Afghana Brigade. 3

4 Figure 4: The main KALA Preachings of the Kala Afghana Brigade What is their reason: Sangat is becoming more and more aware of their Kalaian Kartutan ਕ ਲ ਆ ਕਰਤ ਤ and this has created a state of panic and desperation in them. This has resulted in them into now targeting those who expose the Kalaisn Kartutan ਕ ਲ ਆ ਕਰਤ ਤ. 4

5 There is more they are doing and we will expose this below and in further parts. HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE ON THEIR IMITATION FB PAGE? The answer to this is very simple. Their posting will be sharing posts of the speakers who profess the Kala Afghana Brigade idology e.g. Baljeet Delhi, Sarabjit Dhunda etc, (see Figure 4 for the main aspects of the KAB ideology) denigrating Guru Gobind Singh Ji s composition in the Dasam Granth denigrating credible preachers like Baba Banta Singh, Sant Singh Maskeen etc, distorting the preaching in Guru Granth Sahib Ji to fit into the Kala Afghana Brigade ideology e.g. SGGS Ji rejects reincarnation etc. Figure 5 shows the contents of these two imitation pages. Figure 5: Content of the imitation FB pages THEY CLAIM TO ABIDE BY THE SRM BUT ACTUALLY DO NOT Remember they claim that they abide by the Sikh Rehat Maryada whence they actually do not. They condemn Guru Gobind Singh Ji s compositions with the most venomous and vulgar language. 5

6 However the SRM DEFINES Guru Gobind Singh Ji s compositions as GURBANI. See Figure 6 where SRM states (c) in the congregation, kirtan only of Gurbani (Guru Granth s or Guru Gobind Singh s hymns). How can they claim to abide by the SRM? Figure 6: SRM defines Guru Gobind Singh Ji s compositions as Gurbani CONCLUSION Using the name of some other FB page for a premeditated reason is not only unethical, but also against the Guru s teaching. Anyone who does this for a premediated reason cannot claim belief in and allegiance to Guru Ji. That s all for now. We will continue. Thank You for reading. ਵ ਹਗ ਰ ਜ ਕ ਖ ਲਸ ਵ ਹਗ ਰ ਜ ਕ ਫਤ ਹ to be continued 6
