This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

And that's a real dagger tucked into his sash. (I learned a bit about fighting Sikhs from reading Neal Stephenson's Termination Shock, and watching a load of YouTube videos.)

The Sikh dagger (kirpan) must be worn and sheathed, but does not have to be sharp. So it is not necessarily a functional dagger.

If he's a Nihang wearing the world's biggest turban and 8 ridiculously gigantic karas, then, my friend, taya-ji there definitely sharpened his kirpan. 🤣

He might be stoned, too.
