Dear Veerji,
I can understand how you may feel worried with the blunt approach moorakhs like me might bring to the table. At the same time, look at the situation this way.
Padd ched exists for it's own reasons. If by miracle, we were to see prakash of Lareevaar Saroops globally, we would also have to witness Money & Bemukhs having their wedding held as an Anand Kaaraj in Hazooree of Lareevaar Saroop. Lareevaar Saroop would be transported to houses where there is meat and eggs for house programs. The same sharaabee kabaabees would do sevaa of this saroop. No pun intended, but certain sevaas and haks (rights) only belong to pooran gursikhs.
If we were to interpret Akaal purakhs bhana a certain way, we would see that the innovation and acceptance of pad ched started around the same time in our history when kesh katal was gaining popularity. This refers to the midpoint of the 20th century. From thereon, more kurehits, most popularly being kesh katal then meat eating and then divorce and then re-marraige started to infect the panth. At the given time, once again if you interpret it this way, Padd ched was the innovation that kept Satguroo Jee away from such people. With all due regard, if somebody was willing to take Khanday Kee Pahul, Satguroo Jee was still Haazar Naazar as the majority of the panth was still following Gurmat and taking sharan of lareevaar for at least amrit sanchaars. Hence padd was the "answer" and only Gurmukhs took sharan and stance on lareevaar.
To come back to your question, what I'm trying to say is, that nobody is going to commit atiyaachaar (a crime) against padd ched, nor is there a fauj waiting to unleash itself and do beadbi of gurbani given the oppurtunity. That is unacceptable and punishable. We see so many thugs in Punjab having the audacity to do beadbee of Saroops. Will we confirm what saroop it was. No, we will punish them even if they did beadbi to a Nitnem Gutkaa Sahib. The attitude you speak of is simply a result when Guroo Ke Sikh choose to accept Padd chedd and do not promote Lareevaar as the original and shudh form. It is most understandable that many areas of the world do not have lareevar saroops readily avalaible. But it becomes unacceptable when gursikhs willingly accept padd-ched, call lareevaar supporters extreme, bahmans etc, and make no effort to write/arrange for a saroop. In those situations, one can do little but become stubborn and stand by their lareevaar stance(s). A dhil should not become acceptable......
When the time of Gurmat strikes, and the panth unites as a whole on the lareevar morchaa, I have little doubt that they will announce a solution as to what to do with all the padd ched saroops, keeping in mind that even a nitnem gutka sahib gets utmost respect from singhs. I believe our first and foremost worry should be to take santhiyaa, give santhiyaa and try to do what we can in our homes and cities. Guroo Sahib will take care of the rest like he always does.
Kindly forgive anything wrong I may have said on this topic.
