[QUOTE="Admin, post: 125291, member: 1"] Gurfateh Jagmeet Singh Ji! This argument is used in every discussion on this topic but this is quite a flawed argument simply because so-called Dasam Granth in its present form was complied only in 1903 by Sodhak Committee setup under the influence and pressure of the treacherous regime of British Imperialists. British, who had come to India to plunder whatever was leftover in India. And we very conveniently tend to forget that these British imperialist were known for their divide and rule policy? They have given us the partition of 1947, they split the land of Sikh Gurus, Punjab into two nations, which can now never be enjoined. And still we believe that whatever this Sodhak Committee did was alright? Are we not fooling ourselves here? I see no reason as to why would shrewd British would try to resurrect Sikh religion, which they had successfully subdued and put well into the dumps? Afterall, Sikhs had been their biggest enemies and in between them they fought three epic wars and so British knew the prowess of Sikhs. Then, why would they allow the Sikh faith to gain momentum which was going to challenge them eventually? The only [B]sane[/B] thing that they could have done to Sikhs was to demolish the basics of Sikh Panth in totally so that Sikhs could never recover! So, coming back to the topic originally, Panth's approved Nitnem Banies were never really part of so-called Dasam Granth. To make a claim that Nitnem Banies were a part of so-called Dasam Granth is a total mis-information. As a matter of fact, quite shockingly, Zafarnama, was also not part of the so-called Dasam Granth originally. It was only included by the Sodhak Committee in 1903, in the so-called Dasam Granth after there were verifiable third party Persian historical evidences found that confirmed that Guru Gobind Singh ji indeed authored Zafarnama Himself. One more point that needs consideration here is, and you might not be aware, is that there were about 34 variations of so called Dasam Granth available with the Sodhak Committee in 1903 to pick and choose from and 'decide' which were the hand written Banies by the Tenth Master. [COLOR=Green][B]Quite, interestingly, [I]the following seven compositions were removed from existing compilations: [/I][/B][/COLOR] [LIST=1] [*][COLOR=Green][B][I]Sahansar Sukhmana[/I][/B][/COLOR] [*][COLOR=Green][B][I]Vaar Malkauns[/I][/B][/COLOR] [*][COLOR=Green][B][I]Vaar Bhagautee Kee[/I][/B][/COLOR] [*][COLOR=Green][B][I]Sri Bhagwant Gita Bhaksha Guru Gobind Singh Kirat[/I][/B][/COLOR] [*][COLOR=Green][B][I]Raag Asa and Raag Sorath Pt. 10[/I][/B][/COLOR] [*][COLOR=Green][B][I]Asfotak Kabits Majh Pt. 10[/I][/B][/COLOR] [*][COLOR=Green][B][I]Chakka Bhagautee Ka[/I][/B][/COLOR] [/LIST] It seems these compositions were randomly removed from the so-called Dasam Granth in such a way so as to make the page count of the Dasam Granth (1428 pages) round about similar to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji (1430 pages), out only Guru! The following questions have been raised time and again: [LIST] [*]Why above seven poetic compilations were removed from Dasam Granth by the Sodhak Committee, which was formed under the direct influence and control of British imperialists. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Who gave these member of Sodhak Committee an authority to decide which is Guru's bani and which is not? Don't you think its like putting words in the mouth of the Guru? [/LIST] There is more to the puzzle than putting a blanket cover the whole issue. :veryhappymunda: Prof. Darshan Singh is not the first person ever to question the authenticity of so-called Dasam Granth and will not be the last either if these core questions are not addressed to the satisfaction of Sikh Panth.
