true , But u can't ignored Sikh gurus sacrifice to save Hinduism ,,my Q is simple.there should be some Indian warships or planes named after Sikh gurus or Sikh history
What Sikh or Jain or even Hindu God/Goddess has to do with Names ??

All names are based on Sanskrit which is our culture and mother of all Indian language.

Do you think AGNI is Hindu name ?? No, It's not. It's Sanskrit name.

naming is done as per some convention for eg in Navy - they sometimes use cities, sometimes weaons etc
in the air force its pretty much useless, as most jets are foreign origin.
in the armed forces, again its pretty redundant as most people use the foreign names, very few people say bhishma most prefer t90
missiles are named after elements or mythological weapons such as agni, prithvi, akash, nag, trishul

And if they name something like a missile or tank after one of the Gurus it'll be a divisive ssue as Gurus stood for peace !

Imo they should chose non-controversial names, and naming hardly matters.
INS Arihant ran into trouble with the Jain community.

dude everything is not black and white. For example Maharaja Ranjit SIngh refused to help the Marathas for some reason against Abdali.

As Baba said most of the words are just Sanskrit words without much religious significance....they are from your history as well..

You know Maharaja Ranjit Singh was the only Sikh or Indian who captures Afganistan where Russian, British and Americans failed to do so.. did he get any recognition in Indian armed forces, his generals ,Hari singh nalwa great warrior did he get recognition ???

Still he refused to help the Marathas against Abdali which could have been a turning point in Indian history.

Anyway I guess your primary point has been addressed.

comparing patriotism between hindus and sikhs is like discussing which one is important?
airforce or the army? :lol:

whatever its intention but it should be there...sikhism is different religion.

we cant judge level of patriotism on basis of communities, it is purely individualistic.

Did Shivaji, Mahrana Pratap name is used for any weapons, warships ??

Even Chandragupta Maurya captured whole A'than.

Even Chola's capture 8 countries including Indonesia, Philpiness, Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, etc.

Did any name used ?? NO

I think you are confused between Religion and Sanskrit.

Names are based on Sanskrit and not religion.

Is it INS Ranjit Singh??
Is it INS TEG BAHUDUR ???
If there is an INS Vishwamitra or INS Mahadev then there can be a INS Teg Bahadur..

Now what next..There was a INS Rajput and so there should be a INS Jat or INS Dogra?



[/B]I think you are confused between Religion and Sanskrit.
Just confused between everything.

^^ I was making a light hearted comment !!

One's religion, caste, ethnicity, mother tongue, skin colour etc shouldn't be the basis of questioning one's patriotism.

It doesn't matter if stuff is named after your religion or not, Sikhs don't have to prove their loyalty, nor do they need a "stamp" proving it, nor the state is asking them to prove their loyalty.
