[QUOTE="pk70, post: 94310, member: 5889"] Is it that [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/guru-nanak-dev/"]Guru Nanak[/URL] never came across Christian followers in his travels to the far west in Mecca Madina and in the southern India. Portugese had well settled in Goa by then. Christians (British) were also settling in India since late 1500s. How come there is no mention of them in any of [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/sikh/"]Sikh[/URL] historical artifacts. Printing press was a western invention. The first [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/guru-granth-sahib/"]Guru Granth Sahib[/URL] and [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/sikh/"]Sikh[/URL] history books were published during the British Regime (late 1800s). Does any one know who (perhaps british (read christians)) financed the printing of first [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/guru-granth-sahib/"]Guru Granth Sahib[/URL] and other [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/sikh/"]Sikh[/URL] history books (Tawareekh Khalsa, Suraj Prakash, etc.)? Did they edit out any shabads, references to Christians practices from [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/guru-granth-sahib/"]Guru Granth Sahib[/URL]? Anyone ever compared the currently accepted copy of [URL="http://www.sikhism.us/guru-granth-sahib/"]Guru Granth Sahib[/URL] with about 56 hand written copies (pothis) to check the differences. There was a study conducted by Prof. Piar Singh and published as a book - Gaatha Granth Sahib. He was quickly declared a tankhaiya by the panth and asked to apologize.
