Talk:Singh

Singhs of Nepal

I think it's WP:UNDUE to have 12 different examples of Nepalis with the Singh surname. In my opinion, we should limit it to 3 max and everything needs to be appended with a reliable source. There is one OUP source in the article which states:In the process of forming a casteless society, many first generation Nepalis (and Indians) changed their surnames to Singh, which is a neutral and now common surname, I couldn't find any other RS about the adoption/usage of the Singh name in Nepal, so as of now we should limit the section to something along the lines of "Singh is a common name in Nepal as a result of many people adopting the appellation. Some notable Nepalis who have the surname Singh are: X, Y, Z."

I want to add religious context to the name Singh. I already did my research and have credible sources. Wikimenofindia (talk) 13:29, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

The Khalsa is a spiritual and political entity established by Guru Gobind Singh. The Khalsa was intended to combine the spiritual values and physical protection of Sikhs. It was a response to the oppression by Mughal rulers and symbolized a collective struggle against injustice. The ideal of the Khalsa was a society based on justice and equality. There was collective sovereignty within the Khalsa, referring to the concept that authority and power rested not with an individual but with the entire Khalsa community. This idea was revolutionary in the context of the feudal and monarchical structures of that time.

Guru Gobind Singh declared that no individual would assume the role of Guru after him. Instead, spiritual authority would lie with the Guru Granth Sahib (the holy scripture), and temporal authority would reside with the Khalsa Panth (the community of the Khalsa). The Khalsa consisted of individuals who were all equal, regardless of their background. This concept of equality reinforced the idea of shared responsibility and power within the community. Collective sovereignty placed a moral obligation on each member of the Khalsa to live according to the values of justice, honesty, and service. The Khalsa was both a spiritual and administrative entity, and its members were responsible for upholding these ideals. Wikimenofindia (talk) 13:41, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

 Not done This is an article about a name so the relevance of the above text is unclear. Perhaps you're looking to add this to a different article? There is an article titled Khalsa. RegentsPark (comment) 19:44, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
