[QUOTE="Chaan Pardesi, post: 134365, member: 7047"] I have read about Giani Lal Singh JI of Sangrur, but the writings about Guru Nanak Sahib's travels, who put them on the net.How authentic are they.Are These notes from him.They simply do not prove, without other evidence that Guru nanak Ji went as far as Montreol and Brazil. Some years ago, there was a trend in Malaysia to associate names of towns in Malaysia with Sikhs, without any historical evidence.This was floated by a reknowned Sikh historian.For Example, Mersing was associated to a Mehar Singh;Jasing to Jai Singh, Sik , a small town in Kedah state to Sikh;While Kerpan another town nearby was associated with Kirpan and I am sure there were a few others found in such circumstances. Kangar, the capital of the small Perlis state was said to originate from kanga, as one of the big names of the town and property in the state was owned by a Dr Jagat Singh, who the raja of Perlis was in debt to as well. However, clearly there was no historical evidence that these towns were indeed associated with any or one Sikh. Likewise, I had read numerous times that Nanking was associated with Guru Nanak,but the real evidence tells that the name happens to be only a distant coincidence and sounds similar to Nanak; but has no link to the Nanak we talk of.In fact the town appears to be in existence almost 1000 years before Guru Nanak Ji's times. The Sikh history as written is very much questionable as it was based on simple muslim and hindu views.No doubt a large part of factual history still lies in the Portuguese, Dutch, Tibetan, Sikkimi and Iranian sources that has not been fully explored. What concerns me is the free availability of so called history that has no factual base or evidence.Some current authors who are revered by some, are also seriously questioned for misrepresenting and making holes in the acceptable Sikh history quietly under the banner of liberated and rewriting new Sikh history.But these same chaps are seriously opposed by reputable Sikhs and organisations currently. May, I also point out that such similar web sites and information is also available from Nidhan Singh Alam who pursues the Nirankari view that Guru Gobind Singh Ji survived as Baba Balak Singh beyond the years generally accepted and in the regin of Guru Granth sahib. I am not claiming to be well read but I do read widely, even I was jolted when I first read that website and recall clearly not sleeping for almost two nights thinking and discussing these so called "revealation about Guru Gobind Singh Ji" in their very convincing site, with my wife.I was very troubled for a few days, thinking about it, even though and forgive my intolerance of loudly irrelevant opinions, I have seen most.
