well alot of sikhs themshelves just see it as a holy book they have not been taught otherwise and people will continue to consider it a holy book or scriptures until sikhs start to preach why it is not considered just a holy book... instead of just telling them its offensive and disrespectful
maybe some one can put a article about guru granth sahib and why its not just a book ...
but why do some people see it as a living person is my question and some people like akhoza n kumi also would like it if some 1 would shed some light on this matter
