Dr Noel King...of Santa Cruz University California passed away.
He did what Dr Ganda Singh, Dr Hari Ram Gupta etc could not do...for Sikhism ..
A little background.
Dr. Noel King comes from a family that has long association with Sikhisma nd Punajb...His grandfather was in the service of Maharaja Ranjit Singh....and Dr King was born in Rawalpindi in 1922...
The First person to attempt to write on Sikhism was a German Priest named Dr Trumpp..who wrote on Gurbani of Guru Garnth Sahib from the viewpoint of a Christian Priest....obvioulsy heavily biased and coloured.
The next person in the West to follow in the footsteps of Trumpp....was also a Christian MISSIONARY..but having learnt the lesson of Dr Trumpp...and to escape allegations of bias..this man declared that he and his wife both have lost faith in the Bible and Christianity. This man is Dr Mcleod. Dr Mcleod was very successful in twisting and turning Sikhism just like Dr Trumpp. Many Sikh Scholars came to the fore to put things right about Mc Leod...but in the USA itself arose DR. Noel King to catch Dr Mcleod by the "throat" and make him answerable for the distortions and half truths about Sikhism in his books . Many Sikhs ( even the SGPC) is not even aware of the immense work in favour of Sikhism done by the late Noel King.
Noel King not only identified Dr Mcleod..but more importantly he exposed the insidious network of Mcleodian scholars that he had already placed in PHd studies of various universities in the Usa and Canada....to further the Mcleodian Agenda. Even Great Sikh Scholars like Prof Gnada Singh or Hari Ram Gupta couldnt have doen what Dr Noel King managed to do. Now the Mcleodian schoalrs carry an ID (Mcleodian) and can be refuted.
Dr Nole King has provided PHd guidance to about 6 or more Scholars and thus in some universities at least the MCleodian wave has been stemmed.
Dr Sangat Singh..Sikhs in History has also written about Dr Noel King in his book.
This report is rather sketchy as I myself have little knowledge about this great man and friend of Sikhism. If any memebers of SPN can shed more light on Dr Noel King or his works..it will be good. I also hope SGPC wakes up and recognises the work of Dr Noel King in this regard and honours him (posthumously at least )
