🚩'ਦੇਗ ਤੇਗ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ', DEG TEG FATEH, 'देग तेग फतेह'🚩@✒GBG⚔

1.  'ਦੇਗ ਤੇਗ ਫ਼ਤਹਿ', DEG TEG FATEH, 'देग तेग फतेह' सिखों का एक अमूल्य जंगी नारा, War cry है।

2.  बहुत से लोग इस का सीधा सा अर्थ इस प्रकार कर देते हैं...... Guru Nanak  is the giver of Grace(They interpret Degh as grace) and Guru Har Gobind Singh's sword(Tegh) is a saviour sword, thus  DEG TEG FATEH,

3.  This indeed is an extremely simplistic way of explaining this great concept.  it is appealing to the masses but It does not draw out, the correct and complete meaning of this fantabulous war strategy, principle or  concept, as intendedly coded in the dictum, 'DEG TEG FATEH'.

4.  'As per 'armed forces tradition', which also is the true tradition of Sikhism since sixth master, (ਛੇਂਵੀ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹੀ,  ਮੀਰੀ ਪੀਰੀ ਦੇ ਸੰਸਥਾਪਕ,) 'DEG TEG FATEH' is  'A War Strategy,' not fully understood by some sikhs even.

5.  What this basic principle of war, given by SatGurus to the Sikhs  is,  that first the DEG/ਦੇਗ aka Logistics have to be established, and then  the ਤੇਗ/TEG/Sword/Weapons are to be put into action.

6.  In simple words,
after the logistics are fully established and supply and support lines firmly formed,  Supply stations and langar fully established, (Deg established), the Teg, 
the weapons
should be put in to action, or else the action shall fail.

7.  Inspite of this being a slogan of Sikh army,  the Sikhs have failed, when ever this strategy was not put into execution or
It circumstantially could not be executed.

8.  Seige of Anandpur, Kachigarhi, Lohgarh and  the final battle of Baba Banda Singh ji Bahadur were never detrimental against the sikhs for lack of TEG, (weaponary, skills or bravery) but lack of DEG (Logistic failure).
Brood over it.

9.  Rather than blind devoution, what sikhism needs the most today is an intelligent understanding, and implementation of some great thoughts hidden in sikh Philosophy and tradition.

10. Just  ਫ਼ੋਕੀ ਸ਼ਰਧਾ ਨਾਲੋਂ ਅੱਜ ਸਿੱਖੀ ਨੂੰ ਜ਼ਿਆਦਾ ਜਰੂਰਤ ਹੈ ਸਿੱਖ ਫਲਸਫੇ,  ਸਿੱਖ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ,
ਅਤੇ ਸਿੱਖ ਪਰੰਪਰਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੁੱਕੇ ਗੁੱਜੇ ਰਹੱਸੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਪੜਤਾਲ ਕਰਨ ਦੀ ਅਤੇ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਮਝਣ ਦੀ 🙏
