Sir,

I commend Mr. Sukhbir Singh’s Observations about BCC hair work (WSN June 29). But the suggestion “Why drag Guru Nanak and Guru Granth Sahib and Gurus in every argument” appears to me like a universal light house without light or an ocean without water. Mr, Sukhbir Singh seems to forget that the writings of Dr, Harjot S. Oberai and Dr. McLeod he calls biased are the attacks on the Sikh beliefs; beliefs came out from Sikh religion doctrine, Guru Granth Sahib and the teaching of all Gurus (prophets). To provide Granth Sahib and the teaching of all Gurus (prophets). To provide life to flesh. Light to dissipate the darkness of others. A ocean of God’s words and wisdom to dissipate the ignorance of others the only source the Sikhs scholars have are the Guru Granth Sahib and the teaching of all Gurus.

Seeing knowing and ignoring the facts by Dr. Oberai or Dr. McLeod that the Sikhs since Guru Nanak are living in a dominant Hindu majority whose religious scriptures like Vedas besides teaching good things also teach castes; a division of one conscious into four categories and a stigma civilization. Forcing caste system into Sikh doctrine without proper study or understanding of Guru Granth Sahib and teaching of Gurus a few stated below seems either ignorance or deliver ate try to distort the facts due to reasons or motives known to Dr. Oberai or Dr. McLeod.

  1. Abad Ala Noor Opeyia, Kudrit Ke Sab Bande Ek Noor Se Sab Jag Opgeyia Koon Bhale Koon Mande. Guru Granth Sahib.
  2. Manas Ke Jat Sabe Ek Oh Pahchan Bo. Recognize thy all human race as one. Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

Even today if Dr. Oberai or Dr. Mcleod are asked to go to any Sikh Gurdwara and prepare from the Sangat and Pangat a list of Who is Who and identify them based on caste system said to prevalent in Sikhs I am sure they will not be able to do so. Sangat and Pangat represent Sikh religion doctrine and teaching of Gurus. However if Sikhs or non-Sikhs fail to understand and follow the Gurbani and teachings of Gurus then why distort blame Gurbani or Gurus.

All those who wish to distort the Sikh doctrine consciously or unconsciously must note that “A universal Sikh religion the logical center” is coming up in the near future where: Academicians and scholars of the world representing various religions will have full freedom to come for debate or comparative studies: Guru Granth Sahib and Satyarath Prakash, Ramayan, Geeta, Vedas, Koran, Bible others. That is the only way to dissipate the worldwide hanging illusions and set the record straight and to promote universal unity of mankind and to find a true path of salvation claimed by every religion. One must bear in mind when the scholars of tomorrow find out the truth, they may laugh and ridicule the unfounded writings of the scholars of today.

Above all the Sikh religion and Guru Gobind Singh by establishing Khalsa (stamping out all caste systems once for all).On1 699 Baisakhi day and ordaining Guruship to Guru Granth Sahib in 1 708 before leaving for heavenly abode, liberated the entire mankind from the bondage of slavery and established direct relationship with one God. If you still want to be slave, the choice is yours.
