What difference will it make to these kinds of people? I think these people have already made up their mind and are willing to get excommunicated from Panth. They think they are imitating the great Sardar Gurmukh Singh of Singh Sabha Lehar but nothing could be further from truth. Kala Afghana got excommunicated and so did the editor of Spokesman. Then Ghagga got excommunicated and now if Ragi Darshan Singh gets excommunicated, I believe, he is not going to care. The reason is that today the Sikhs have become dhillay (relaxed) and are not following the hukamnamas as Sikhs in the past used to.
In the 1970s, Giani Bhag Singh Ambala was excommunicated from Panth for this very reason i.e. his opposition of Dasam Granth. Once he was excommunicated, such unity was displayed by Panth that soon his senses returned and he got pesh and sought forgiveness. Now the problem is that even after excommunication, many ignorant Sikhs continue to keep relation with these people. For this reason the Hukamnama does not bring the desired effect. Nevertheless, divine hand will work and will bring the results.
Ragi Darshan Singh has definitely committed a blunder by suggesting that the male character in the Anoop Kaur Charritter is Siri Guru Gobind Singh jee. Obviously, he has not read the Charitropakhyan from the beginning. If he had read, he would have known that this is Mantri-Bhoop Sambaade i.e. conversation between the minister and the king and not a story about Siri Guru jee. He will definitely have to admit his mistake and if he remains defiant, he will be excommunicated. I just hope the 5 Singh Sahibaan don’t get wrong political pressure.
Panth gave his so much respect during the 1980s. He gave some memorable speeches and through his kirtan-katha, he raised his voice against the injustices of the Indian Govt. At that time, he sang shabads from Dasam Granth but I don't understand what has happened to him now. By unnecessarily opposing Dasam Granth baani and even going to the point of questioning Nitnem and Amrit Sinchaar baanis, I think he has lost all the respect he had gained previously.
