Delhi University’s initiation of an undergraduate course on Sikh martyrdom and heroism in history is a commendable step. Inderpreet Singh Monty Kauchhar, a young member of the Delhi Gurdwara Committee, said that Sikhism is the only religion in the world, which is also called the true religion and its followers are known for serving humanity in the world. Therefore, just as Sikhism is unique and unique from all religions of the world, the same thing applies to Sikh history. The Sikh community has the owner of the eternal throne, “Sahib Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji”. “Sahib Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji” is the only criterion on the basis of which we can reach our real history to some extent. After this, what we get are the works of Bhai Gurdas Ji, the hymns of the devotees and the writings of ancient history.
He said that Sikh history is created with the blood of martyrs. In this, the martyrdom of the Gurus (Guru Arjan Dev Ji and Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib) is an important source of inspiration and the entire history of the Sikhs is full of martyrdoms. From the first Sikh Guru Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji to the tenth Pita Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji, the formation of the Khalsa, the martyrdoms given by the Gurus and Sikh generals and the great history of the generals fighting the Mughals and the British is of great importance. Sikhism seeks the good of humanity, serves at the forefront of disasters anywhere in the world and even in the battlefield, Bhai Ghanaiya Ji had created a different history by giving water to the enemies and applying ointment. Therefore, we appeal to Delhi University that before writing Sikh history in books, contact should be made with Sikh historians, intellectuals, SGPC, Delhi Gurdwara Committee so that no ambiguity can arise in Sikh history. This step will enable children to learn from the unique and blood-soaked history of the Sikhs.
