As 'Bhatras' or 'Bhatra Sikhs' is the more widely used
term, the name of this website has been accordingly
chosen as www.Bhatra.co.uk, so as to makereaching and
finding this site easier.
It is however a corruption of the actual term 'Bhat
Sikh.' We have therefore conformed and duly used the
term 'Bhat' or 'Bhat Sikhs' throughout this website,
which is justified as the correct terminology. |

| WHAT IS A BHAT |
|
| Bhat Sikhs are not caste but a Sikh sub-group, whose members are from all areas of the Sikh spectrum |
|
Sikhism itself recognizes no caste, and we are in no way promoting sub groups or the caste system, or showing any superiority towards the Bhat Sikh Community or any other community, but simply to widen knowledge and understanding, and whilst also rectifying the many misconceptions and legends of the Bhat Sikh Community
www.bhatra.co.uk have given explanations and information of the Bhats, to the best of our abilities, and hope that in some small way it helps and explains the wider issues surrounding the history and place in Sikhi of the Bhat Sikh community.
Similarly we are open to hear your views, questions, as well as suggestions |
