Uh... its not passing judgement, its a question out of curiousity. From what I recall, all the Guru Ji's questioned things in their status quo, from social, political to spiritual. Inquistiviness is not a shunned quality in Sikhism. I never passed any judgement... I didn't place any distincition between Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, and the Gurbani writ by Guru Gobind Singh Ji... apart from that the latter seems more externally geared, more martial.

See Gurus questioned the present actions of the people. You are questioning the past action of Guru. The only way to answer is to achieve the wisdom of Guru or meet someone who has it. Similarly, Bhagat Kabeer ji had a lot more dohay, but all were not added to Guru Granth Sahib.

This is false, "Banee is from GuR". Gurbani is "of" Gur or about Gur/Creator.

The element of understanding GuR related to Gurbani and outside of Gurbani. Gurbani in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is a teacher. One learns and lives and become capable of learning more throughout one's life beyond the examples given in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Sat Sri Akal.

oh geez kanwaljit Singh Ji,

it was a question about history, the only explanation I'd gotten about it prior to this was that there was difference in style... so I thought I'd dig a little further and see if there was actually an event or a historical moment why the decision had been made.
