The opening of Sri Guru Granth Sahib World University, Fatehghar Sahib, is a great foot forward for the people of Punjab,and particularly the Sikhs.

The main focus would be research,study of world regions, civilizations, and cultures, besides social sciences,humanities,pure sciences, nanotechnology etc.

Recently Sri Guru Granth Sahib was installed in the Univeresty campus.I would like to know SPN member's views on installing religious books at institutes of learning.

Saying that it does not mean the University should be treated as a Gurudwara. The Temporal and the Spiritual should be seperated.

I can think of several areas where some religious zealot types may clash with academic research.

It is just like having Gurudwara on campus. It is great for students who want to continue doing sangat while also living in hostel :)

As the name, SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB WORLD UNIVERSITY, itself suggests, the main purpose for its establishment is the study of world religions, civilizations and cultures. So it is hoped that people from all over the world will be converging here to do their research.

Why do we want it to confine the institute to be only of the Sikhs, by the Sikhs and for the Sikhs?

As for those students who want to do Sangat, this complex is surrounded by gurdwaras.
