My personal opinion, is that all souls should be respected which is what equality means, but that doesnt necessarily mean to agree with all choices, or Guru Nanak maharaj would not have gone on their udaasis, disagreeing with everyone. Equality doesnt mean to affirm all choices, or our Gurus would not have opposed certain choices, ie such as those made by Mughals. I don't believe in the blanket statement that "everything is hukam" as Satpal Singh interprets which i believe mistakes hukam for western concept of determinism, ie a western word for a western concept. What is people's thoughts on this matter?

It took this Digwa case to get people's attention in the panth. We should be improving and growing constantly. I see so many sikh individuals personally ambitious for their career/business, but why do we not unite and grow, innovate, proactively create more? systems, education ecosystems (not just platforms), a fund or private equity company for example? especially with all the talent we have? I feel like the community is fragmented since colonial intervention and we must regroup.

This guy is a hindu, trying to ban kirpans. Can the sikh community not exile/shun him somehow to make clear he doesnt represent sikhs? Right wing channels like talktv are taking advantage of this by using him for their narrative, and are lying that he is a sikh leader. I am concerned he is inciting major anti-sikh hate.
