    gatka

    martialart?

    It was from the famous university of 'Taxila' in the ancient Punjab that one tradition in Buddha Dal holds, martial arts spread to China through Buddhist priests (the most famous of all known as 'Bodhidharma').

    It has to be appreciated that the connotation of Akali Nihang Singh Khalsa is that Punjabi Sanatan Kyshatriya Shastar Vidiya is the root of all martial arts in the Eastern hemisphere.

    Hence, the adulteration of these ancient traditions is unacceptable to the practitioners of Sanatan Hindu Sikh Shastar Vidiya.

    As such Nihang Niddar Singh, as the 'Gurdev' of Hindu Sikh Shastar Vidiya will always oppose and challenge in every which way, all those hypocrites.

    Some characters who have today even set up international Gatka organizations, institutions etc. and surrounded themselves with like-minded charlatans and hypocrites are continuing to dupe the public at every Gatka display they carry out.

    These same individuals, who are whilst claiming to represent traditional Khalsa martial arts, are instead diluting, undermining and insulting the traditional martial traditions of the Indian subcontinent.
