Hindus and Muslims will realise give it time they will stop fighting the white cloth ripped in half by Sat Guru Angad Dev Jee for Hindus and Muslims will be sewn together

Hindu Shudrs wanted to become Sikhs but were refused so started to converted to Christanity

Hindus already have immense devotion for Gurbani but its the Sikhs who are using them for their own ends and Muslims when hearing Guru Nanak start to think
