AV: Ajit Vadakayil, a blogger who wrote an article about Sikhs with so much gibberish; and we tried to put many of his points on the posts with correct explanations.

AVB: Ajit Vadakayil’s Blog.

BHs: Brahmanical Hindus. This term is neither for all the Hindus nor Brahmins but those so-called Hindus who have been working on different theories to change the definitions of the words in gurbani and their meanings, and they talk about all the anti-gurmat points to prove the Sikhs Hindus. These people are but the boa constrictor, which Dr. Sangat Singh talked about in his book The Sikhs in History. Although he used the word boa constrictor for Hinduism. But I will limit the term only to BHs, not for all the people of the religion. BHs include two types of people.

1.      HBHs (Hardline Brahmanical Hindus): Those who only show their disgust towards Sikhs like their ancestors did. They will talk about the Sikh Gurus, the Sikh history, and in general about the Sikhs and how they’re bad or against the Hindus or Hindu philosophy, and the damage done by the Sikhs, etc.

2.      SBHs (Soft-hearted Brahmanical Hindus): Those polite and illogical people who are still trying by all means to cloak Sikhism with Hinduism. Be it the meanings of gurbani or history, they use everything in their power to prove Sikhs Hindus. This set of people are worse than HBHs.

SSs: Sanatan Sikhs. These Sikhs are the people who will say it with proud that they’re Hindus and the Sikh Gurus were too. Even these people have the theories that how the Tat Khalsa changed all the definitions or British created Sikhism different from Hinduism, or sometimes they love to bring the Khalistan and the Singhs who fought against tyranny in 1980s and 1990s to tell how the peaceful Sikhs turned into innocent-killing machinery. This is actually the part of SBHs, but we’ve it differently just to say that not only the Hindus, Sikhs are also trying to change their own history/gurbani because of the influence of some books/websites or the people they follow.

BWSs: Brainwashed Sikhs. This group of people are the people who are against gurbani and the historical granths. They might not come under SSs, and show disgust towards that group, but they do not know that they’re also brainwashed like SSs.

FICOS: Fake Intellectual Class of Sikhs. This set of people are mainly living outside of Punjab/India and trying to tell the world about Sikhism with the lens of the Western/European culture. They do not believe in any miracles or the Code of Conduct, but just the morals that the Sikh religion provide. They are mainly writers and have written many articles in, mainly, English on some websites or Sikh magazines, or published some books about the religion and the issues. These people are the main influencers to make the young Sikhs think totally opposite of the religion, and they are trying their best, with or without knowing, to drag the religion down just because it will be adaptable to the people living in the Western and European countries.

SHSs: Sikh Holy Scriptures, which include Guru Granth Sahib ji, Dasam Guru Granth Sahib ji, and Sarbloh Granth Sahib ji.
