The first five gurus respected the sacred thread and Vedic marriage ceremonies

According to Kushwant Singh, when "Tegh Bahadur was summoned to Delhi, he went as a representative of the Hindus. He was executed in the year 1675. His son who succeeded him as guru later described his father’s martyrdom as in the cause of the Hindu faith, ‘to preserve their caste marks and their sacred thread did he perform the supreme sacrifice’. The guru himself looked upon his community as an integral part of the Hindu social system."

WRONG. the first guru, guru nanak sahib, refused to put on the "sacred" thread. Here's what Guru Nanak says about the "sacred" thread

The thread is spun from cotton, and the Brahmin comes and twists it.

The goat is killed, cooked and eaten, and everyone then says, ""Put on the sacred thread.""

When it wears out, it is thrown away, and another one is put on.

O Nanak, the thread would not break, if it had any real strength. ||2||

In the world, he established the authority (of his doctrines) and started a religion, devoid of any impurity (niramal panth). -- Guru Granth Sahib, Bhai Gurdaas Ji

No one edited the topic so far ..

As far as I can understand it ...any editing on there is only going to be accepted if it is having a proper language & citing a good set of references otherwise shouting words there is going to prove nothing...there is no point in discussing this topic on this board as people in here already know & acknoledge the facts so people with better knowledge rather go & act on Wikipedia n enlighten the rest

any one ...
