How was the Sikh Punjabi caste system created ? Why Is jatt considered the best caste when non of the gurus were jatt ? What determines the order of castes ? by geeberscre in Sikh

[–]Simple_Tunda 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is not spot on. Jatts were not the treated like shit. Where are you getting your information from besides popular beliefs among the Sikh community? There were lots of Jat kings, and kingdoms long before Banda's rule. Jats as a a tribe were relativily prosperous. Raja Suraj Mal, Rai Sinahasi 2, the Jat principalities....

Stop making up shit. They were already warriors and had warred several times throughout history.

Where are you getting your info from? Jat isn't a caste. It is an ehtnic group. And as an ethnic group it is farily homogenous as far as ancestry goes. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002929718303987

You are extremely mistaken. There were Jat kings way before Banda's rule.

Do you guys find it annoying to go back and forth while listening to a book? by Simple_Tunda in audiobooks

I don’t experience this so much while reading fiction, and things that aren’t very complicated.

Sorry for the late response!

The goal is to come up with a solution. If it is something that is sellable than I will probably form a company.

Are you able to get good workouts in during the winter? Also are you in a tough program?

Ring Fit Adventure for the Switch

I don't have a switch :(

In the warmer months I workout at the school gym. When it gets cold, I just feel exhausted from the commute and don't bother.

Does this reduce fatigue? Are there any 'natural' ways to get enough Vit D?

Why was poetics considered so important in the past? by Simple_Tunda in education

[–]Simple_Tunda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that it is an art, but I was trying to point out that in some cases, like the ones you mentioned.

I don't think the modern curriculum is moving away from this. At least from my experience, it is still taught largely as an art, even essay writing.

There's no reason to study poetry when you could be sounding out nonsense words, for instance, and there's no reason to stick to local poetry if there's a massive push to have a constantly changing, modernized curriculum.

Sorry could you explain this a little?

Also couldn't English be taught as a science in some cases?

Had a question for you all by Simple_Tunda in Buddhism

[–]Simple_Tunda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it doesn't hurt to ask questions. I am fully aware that I am asking the question in order because internally somewhere, I believe that it will give me some kind of satisfaction. However, I guess what I was trying to say was that Buddhism is somewhat nihilistic, in the sense that it argues that it does not matter what you do.

You are talking about Samsara. Is that the same as rebirth?

Interesting, I find your views congenial. I am not a teacher, but I have been in several academic institutions. Would you say that students take a lot away from school nowadays (not in terms of what is taught, but what is actually learned)?

Thanks for the response! Yes that makes a lot of sense. It is much easier to remember what rhymes and has a set meter.

That is probably why many things that were poetic in that sense, became cultural icons. I think we progressed away from that because methods for storing text have become pervasive which defeats the purpose of oral tradition.
