[QUOTE="JustCurious, post: 124086, member: 11479"] You're talking as if the early days of Sikhism were during the stone ages. It was only 500 hundred years ago which is not that long ago compared to other older religions, and I am pretty sure historical records from 500 years ago would be better preserved than ones from 2000 and more years ago. Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism are far older, and they manage to have a clear idea about their founders and how they lived their lives. I mean the Muslims for example have a clear record of every aspect of Muhammed's life, and that was over 1400 years ago! [FONT=Arial]It is recorded in history that many Gurus used to hunt as you have agreed. But they used to hunt animals such as tigers and other wild animals, which I am presuming they did not hunt for food as I can't imagine that tiger would have been a normal item on the menu of these Gurus. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial]"Under the ablest guidance and leadership of Guru Gobind Singh, the Sikhs started hunting [B][U]Tigers[/U][/B] and other [B][U]wild[/U][/B] animals in the jungels [[I]sic[/I]] around Anandpur Sahib by [B][U]learning[/U][/B] the use of [B][U]all sorts of weapons [/U][/B]including the latest weapens [[I]sic[/I]]."
