The problem is that most people are under the impression that Jhatka is ok because the SGPC does not ban its use. Orignally meat was completely forbidden in the panth. However, certian individuals who lacked self- control changed the marayada to justify the use of eating meat. They claim that we are not allowed to eat halal. But Gurbani and ancient REhatnams forbid the killing of animals, and the adoption of foreign practices to justify/legalize the killing of animals . But in Sikhi killing of animals is Haram ( Illegal) and can never be considered as Halal ( legal) no matter how you do it because compassion is a key virtue in Gurmat.
Bhagat Kabir Ji states
kabeer joree keeeae julam hai kehathaa naao halaal ||
Kabeer, to use force to kill an animals is tyrannical , even if you call it legal.
dhafathar laekhaa maa(n)geeai thab hoeigo koun havaal ||187||
When your account is called for in the Court of the Lord, what will your condition be then? ||187||
and
kabeer jeea j maarehi jor kar kehathae hehi ju halaal ||
Kabeer, they forcefully kill animals , and call it legal.
dhafathar dhee jab kaadt hai hoeigaa koun havaal ||199||
When the Lord calls for their account, what will their condition be? ||199||
The above pangtia point out that Halal ( "legal" killing of animals) is strictly forbidden in Gurmat.
In the past Gursikhs and most Hindus did not eat meat it was only the foreign Muslims who ate meat. For a Sikh this food of the foreigners was completely forbidden. To mercilessly kill an animal with force; one will be held accountable in Dharam Rajs court for such actions. Again the practice of killing innocent animals and justifying it as religious is a foreign concept which is alien to Sikhi.
Guru Sahib mentions in Asa Di Var that
neel vasathr pehir hovehi paravaan ||
Wearing blue robes, they seek the approval of the Muslim rulers.
malaeshh dhhaan lae poojehi puraan ||
Accepting bread from the Muslim rulers, they still worship the Puraanas.
abhaakhiaa kaa kut(h)aa bakaraa khaanaa ||
They eat the meat of the goats, killed after the Muslim prayers are read over them,
choukae oupar kisai n jaanaa ||
but they do not allow anyone else to enter their kitchen areas.
dhae kai choukaa kadtee kaar ||
They draw lines around them, plastering the ground with cow-dung.
oupar aae bait(h)ae koorriaar ||
The false come and sit within them.
math bhittai vae math bhittai || eihu a(n)n asaaddaa fittai ||
They cry out, ""Do not touch our food, or it will be polluted!""
than fittai faerr karaen ||
But with their polluted bodies, they commit evil deeds.
man joot(h)ai chulee bharaen ||
With filthy minds, they try to cleanse their mouths.
So not only did the Bahams abandon their own religion and start practicing the ways of the Muslims to gain acceptacnce, the Khatris ( warrior caste) did the same things as well. Guru Sahib states
khathreeaa th dhharam shhoddiaa malaeshh bhaakhiaa gehee ||
The K'shatriyas have abandoned their religion, and have adopted a foreign language.
In the Original Shabad I posted Guru Ji states:
abhaakhiaa kaa kut(h)aa bakaraa khaanaa ||
They eat the meat of the goats, killed after the Muslim prayers are read over them,
Guru Sahib use the word Kutha ( killing of animals) to describe the practice of those foreigners. Guru Sahib also mentions how they start to recite Muslim prayers before slaughtering these Animals in which the Bahamans and Khatris started doing as well. Guru Sahib considered this cowardice and betrayal of ones own faith as a great insult to ones faith and honor. Even those "warriors" the Khatris who were suppose to protect the country betrayed their faith and started accepting the ways of the foreigners. Thus, Guru Sahib created a true warrior caste which would stay firm in its Religious principles and not adopt the ways other faiths.
Bhai Daya Singh Jis Rehatnama States
"
Dhan na Dey Jo : Jo Parnaree Bhogey, Farsee Parhey, Na Meh Uhda, na vah meyra, Uhs Sikh Key Hath Ja Jal Na Peevey. Farsee Parhey ka besah na kareh, Ann Uhs Ka Na Khaveh.
"Do not give money to the following: Those who enjoy other (multiple) women, and those who recite Farsee. They do not belong to me and I do not belong to them, do not drink water from the hands of such " Sikhs". Do not trust those who recite farsi, avoid eating from them"
The following rehatnama indicates that Sikhs are forbidden too trust and eat from those who commit a Bajjar Kurheit. It mentions two Bajjar Kurehits here. One having relations with people other then your wife. Meaning having more than one wife and having relations with them which is something Muslims often do. Two- Reciting of Farsi ( the reading of the Quaran) when killing animals which was previously done by the Bahamans and Khatris. People who stat to adopt the way of other faiths no longer belong to Guru Ji.
A Tankhanama by Bhai Nand Lal Singh Ji states
Leh Turkan Tey Maas Ju Khaveh. Bin GurShabad Bachan Jo Gaveh. Triya Raag Suneh Chit Laee. Sunho Lal! So Jampur Jaee.
Listen Nand Lal! Those that eat meat of the Turks, Sing non religious Songs, Listen to lustful songs about Women will go to hell!
Sadly people who commit this adharmic act of Jhatka claim that they are doing good to the animal. They claim the goat will be reborn as a Sikh in the next life. But the truth is that those who commit such acts are either going to hell or will be born as a goat in the next life. You cant kill animals and consider it to be a good act. Jhatka is modified version of Halal which is still considered a foreign practice which has no basis in the Sikh Dharam. Guru Sahib states that if killing animals is religious then what does it mean to be non- religious?
Sikhi is a distinct Dharam which does not practice the rituals of other faiths. Any Sikh who starts to follow the ways of other religions are not Sikhs. "Guru Ji does not belong to them, and they do not belong to Guru Ji". Such " Sikhs" are to be avoided , nor should we provide any resources to such Sikhs. They should be completely separated from the panth , and we must always keep a vigilant eye on those that challenge Guru Jis rehat.
Be aware of these people and like minded individuals.
