Inder Ghagga loses debates to Panthic Singhs in Toronto

Brampton, Canada (KP) - In the past few years, the public has seen an assortment of anti-Gurmat literature being produced by various individuals promoting Kala-Afghana/missionary lobby viewpoints. In their message, they viciously attack the very fundamentals that set the Sikh Panth apart for other faiths. Instead of utilizing sound logic and Gurbani as a basis of their arguments they often resort to ridicule and sarcasm in a sign of desperation and lack of confidence.

One such "parcharak" is Inder Ghagga. He was not allowed in UK Gurdwaras and was reportedly even dragged from the stage at a Gurdwara in the Eastern United States.

In Canada, he has caused skirmishes between his supporters and those who were offended by his derisive remarks against Gurmat and respected Gursikhs.

When he spoke at Mayfield Gurdwara Sahib, in Brampton Ontario two weeks ago, a melee broke out between his supporters and members of Panthic organizations who charged that he was spreading anti-Sikh propaganda and was insulting respected Sikh personalities in his books and on stage. Ghagga in his book "Sada Berra Kio Garkia", has harshly criticized various Gursikhs and key Sikhi concepts.

In the Toronto area, Ghagga is being promoted by the pro-Kala Afghana supporter, Gurcharan ‘Jeeonwala‘ Brar. Overconfident of his debating skills, Ghagga has appeared on various radio talk shows and private functions where he has openly challenged anyone to debate him on his twisted philosophy on Gurmat.

Some of his views include :

• That there is no such thing as the power of Naam.
  
• Naam simran that involves reciting of Gurmantar (as instructed in the Panthic Sikh Rahit Maryada) is Pakhand [hypocritical], he refers to is ‘Gorakh Dhandha.’
  
• Guru Nanak Sahib Ji ate Halal meat under pressure, when he visited Mecca.
  
• Siri Guru Arjun Dev Ji fainted when he was tortured because he could not withstand the pain. In other words, he views all of the ten Guru Sahibs as ordinary humans beings.
  
• He wrote very harshly against Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji Bhindranwalay and other respected Panthic personalities, often ridiculing them in a offensive manner.
  
• He is also a ferocious supporter of meat eating.
