Brahman's Langar
Let us go back to that time when Brahman is discriminating with Shudar or untouchable. This is a new age Brahman story, so new gadgets are also being used...
******
The scene goes, a shudar wanted to enter into Temple and wishes to prepare food for the Lord Vishnu in the Temple, though he had no problem in letting Brahman do the pooja and offer that food prepared by Shudar to Lord Vishnu...
But the bitter fact was, nobody other than Brahman were allowed to enter Kitchen or touch the Utensils in which Pooja food is to be made, because Pooja food has to be pure as it is to be offered to Lord Vishnu... if by chance the Shudar enters the Lord Vishnu's Temple Kitchen, the Brahman becomes furious and tells the Shudar to leave the Kitchen as he is not Brahman. He then has to recite Gayatri Mantar or just chant "OM-OM" to cleanse the environment again. Inside there is a happy feeling that they are not Shudar and they are Lord Vishnu-walas! Who wants to be treated like that, and why don't they (Shudars) do our sewa and get Brahman birth in next life so that they can be allowed inside Kitchen? The person who was Shudar is not happy obviously as he has been denied to do the Sewa of Pooja food because he is not doing and living the life that Brahmans are living, i.e. baptization and using Lord Vishnu's devotion as a full-time job through which Brahman can obtain his monetary salary as well. He then hesitantly ask the Brahman as what Sewa they are allowed to do, as they just wanted to do Sewa!! The Brahman then informs him about the basic rules of Sewa and where one can enter and where one cannot. So they are being told that if you are non-Brahman, you can sweep the Lord Vishnu Temple's premises and floor, do the Vaccum, wash the Utensils used after Pooja food preparation, the Big Deghs in which Daal/Sabji is made, though the special utensil in which special Prashad is prepared is to be washed only by Brahman, so please don't wash it.
Moreover, the Shudar is also "entitled" to clean the Restrooms, Wash-basins, Bathrooms of Pandits/Pujaris (who are obviously Brahmans), floors outside, doors, windows, fix lights, fix anything else...Out of non-Brahman community, some know to do Raag Keertan, but they are denied to perform Keertan, as they are non-Brahman. It is just to teach a lesson to non-Brahman that how bad is to be felt if you are non-Lord Vishnuwala!!! Bravo, what a solution!!!

I was reading some Sikhi forums recently and there were articles about the Sewa, and that too specifically for sewa of Langar. It interested me and I kept on reading it, and to my expectations I found the usual discrimination between Amritdharis and Non-Amritdharis.
A very famous Jatha and other Deras/cults have special "Rehat" and a stringent tougher "rehat" vaale Sikhs, who only eat in specially cooked food, i.e. prepared only by Singhs/Kaurs who are "Baptised" or "Amritdhari" and treat other food as Malechh or impure.
Okay, let us now replace few words in the above story to the below one...
******
Nobody other than Bibekis/Amritdharis (fake) are allowed to enter Guru's Kitchen or touch the Utensils in which Langar is to be made, because Langar has to be pure as it is to be offered to Guru Sahib... if by chance the non-Amritdhari enters the sarab-sanjhee Kitchen of True Guru, the Bibekis become furious inside, but "politely" asks the non-Amritdhari to leave the Kitchen as he is not Baptised. He/she then has to recite Japji Sahib/Shabad Hazare/Dukh-Bhanjani/Sukhmani etc or just chant "Waheguru" to cleanse the environment again. Inside there is a happy feeling that they are not non-Amritdhari and they are Guruwalas! Who wants to be treated like that, and why don't they (non-Amritdharis) get baptised so that they can be allowed inside Kitchen? The Singh/Kaur who was non-Amritdhari is not happy obviously as they have been denied the Sewa of Langar because they are not living the life that Bibekis (fake) are living, [i.e. first baptization and then using Guru Granth Sahib's Hymn singing/recitation as a full-time job through which the (fake) Bibekis Keertaniyas/Kathakaars can obtain their monetary salary as well (which is humongous after frequent trips to different Gurudwaras in different countries!!) ...] The shudars, oops... non-amritdharis then ask the Brahmans, oops... (fake)Bibekis as what Sewa they are "allowed" (:by whom?) to do, as they just want to do Sewa!! The (fake) Bibekis/Amritdharis then inform about the basic rules of Sewa and where one can enter and where one cannot. So they are being told that if you are non-Bibekis/Amritdharis, you can sweep the Gurudwara premises and floor, do the Vaccum, wash the Utensils used after Langar preparation, the Big Deghs in which Daal/Sabji is made, though the Degh in which Karaah Prashad is prepared is to be washed only by (fake) Bibekis/Amritdharis, so please don't wash it.
Moreover, they can also wish to clean the Restrooms, Wash-basins, Bathrooms of Granthis/Keertanis who are obviously (fake) Bibekis/Amritdharis, floors outside, doors, windows, fix lights, fix anything else...Out of non-Bibekis/Amritdharis, some know to do Raag Keertan, but they are denied to perform Keertan, as they are non-Bibekis/Amritdharis. It is just to teach a lesson to non-Bibekis/Amritdharis that how bad is to be felt if you are non-Guruwala!!! Bravo, what a solution!!! Reverse Psychology or what?

Why their food or say Langar to be prepared only by Amridhari Sikhs? And the tougher sewa to be given to non-Amritdharis?

Why their food or say Langar to be prepared only by Amridhari Sikhs? And the tougher sewa to be given to non-Amritdharis?
Ridiculous!
Guru Sahib never created any differences, rather they created the Niyara Panth - Khalsa, without discrimination, and hatred!
Not allowing non-Amritdharis, only deepens the thorn inside them and they tend to feel that Amritdharis feel themselves Superior just the way Pandits or Brahmans used to feel about themselves over others! They feel low and left-outs, because they don't know what is right? Whether the Niyara Panth is right or the so-called Amritdhari "Suchaa"pan is right? Daily we read "Soche Soch na hovayi", no use I think...
This is one of the prime reason that the people taking Khande ki Pahul are becoming so less, and more people are getting into cutting of hair and drugs, all thanks goes to misinterpreted Rehat and Rehatwalas!
If you see, the sewa of cleaning shoes, toilets, bathrooms should be given to Amritdharis only! No other should be allowed except Amritdharis to do sewa of Bathrooms/Restrooms!! Now imagine the scene? Can you imagine all the Bhaijees and Granthijees cleaning the bathrooms and toilets and not sipping hot-milk brought by the Sangat (out of which most would be "non-Amritdharis")! Why the langar ingredients brought by Non-Amritdharis are accepted to be put in Langar, and the same person is not allowed to do his contribution in making the Langar as well??? Height of Hypocrisy!!!
Well, what I wanted to say was, if the Langar Hall is being cleaned by Non-Amritdharis, the dishes in which Amritdharis would eat Langar would be cleaned by Non-Amritdharis and the lavatories used later by Amritdharis would be cleaned by non-Amritdharis, who actually is the Nimaana Gursikh and who is an Egoistic Brahman???

I think they allare not in one category. All though I am not a supporter of all these but still are you trying to put down concept of Amrit thats what it sounds like. You are only have negative views nothing positive.
When you write all positive, everybody is happy, right?
By the way, I myself have taken Khande Ki Pahul in 1992, and I proudly wear my Kakaars, but don't simply feel proud just because I am Amritdhari, I feel proud because my Guru is the Teacher of Eternal Truth, and I try to become HIS disciple, HIS SIKH.
"kaho re pandit baaman kab te hoye, baaman keh keh janam matt khoye."
wen our Gurus wrote baani,
that time such distinctions in sikhi never existed.
now surely baaman word can be replaced with word "sikh" who r indulged in creating such distinctions.
Guru gave us Khande ki Pahul to finish off the discrimination, and to laugh on this serious downfall, there is a discrimination between Amritdharis and Non-Amritdharis, and even more Bibeki Amrithdaris or non-Bibeki Amrithdharis!
There are different kinds of Bibekis - Kacche Bibeki, Dhille Bibeki, Sarabloh Bibeki, pooran bibeki, the list is very long........
Though the concept of Khalsa is way opposite of what Singhs are indulged into these days...
Guru Rakha!!
