Sir,
I was reading “The new Cambridge History of India The Sikhs of the Punjab” by J.S. Grewal published in 1990.
These fake historians who want to win favors from the Universities and academics and go along way to demean themselves by writing lies about Sikhs and their Gurus.
This guy has written in his book that “Guru Gobind Singh escaped from Chamkaur Sahib.” It is a shame that Grewal, calling himself a Sikh Historian is ignorant (knowingly?) about the fact that Guru Gobind Singh ji left Chamkaur on orders from the Khalsa, The institution of *Panj Piaras’ being supreme in the Khalsa Panth, Guru ji had to abide by the order of the Khalsa but only after letting the Khalsa agree to the condition that he would not leave Chamkaur silently. So Guru ji announced loudly that “he is leaving Chamkaur, come forward if someone wants to fight.” Commenting on the Saka Akal Takhat 1984 an advocate of the Delhi Supreme Court, Mohammad Tahar Sadeeki told us that “Sant Jamail Singh Bhindranwale wrote the history of a thousand years in one night.”
Mr. Grewal, if a writer writes one fact wrong, the rest of the facts in the book becomes meaningless. So your book, written to please others by distorting facts, is nothing but rubbish and I wasted my money for this piece of rubbish, Ajit Singh Sahota Canada
