Next question: Which 4 people in history did all their best to destroy Sikhs and Sikhi, and how did they die?

[Harsimrat Singh]

Is Indra Gandhi one of them? She was killed by her "bodyguards", Shaheed Bhai Satwant Singh and Shaheed Bhai Beant Singh!

Any proof that Guru Ji didn't visit African countries?

This is not a smart way to answer a question with a question. When one makes a statement they must have some proof to back it up because burden of proof rests on them. Next you will say Guru Sahib flew a plan to California and when asked to provide proof you will reply in the same manner "what is the proof that he didn't"? You made a statement so you provide complete information. No Janamsakhi, historic book and any scholar mentions Guru Sahib going to Africa. If this is a new discovery then one who makes the claim should provide evidence to make a convincing case otherwise we have enough people making baseless comments. Evidence should be historical documents from the country or ancient building etc.

Veer Bijla Singh, if you want to start a debate about that make a seperate thread.

Hanji harsimrat veer, Indira Gandhi is one of them... 3 left

[Bijla Singh]

I did not start a debate but asked a simple question. All you had to do was state the names of sources you got your information from and that would've been the end. If you do not want to give names then just say so.

Guru Sahib in Uganda:

In Uganda there is a town/village called Bab Nanika. It was visited by Guru Ji who blessed it. As there was no water in the whole area, Guru Ji's blessing bought forth a spring, which can be even seen today.

There is a monument dedicated to Guru Sahib at about 12 km from the Kapala Station (source: from SS Kohli's book)

I'm doing more research on Guru Sahib's Udasi's tho.

All I can say for the moment is that Guru Sahib also visited Somalia, Kenya, Sudan, Egypt along with Uganda from the African continent.

From Saudi Arab, Guru Sahib entered Africa, went upto north (in Egypt). Then they came back to Sudan, and went to Saudi Arabia and continued their journey.

[Bijla Singh]

So Guru Ji going to Africa is mentioned in Kohli's book? If not then please mention your source.

Apologies for runing this thread but let's continue - Zakriya Khan, Mir Mannu, Lakhpat Rai and Ahmad Shah Abdali tried to destroy Sikhi in 18th century.

Question - Where was the first Sikh rule established and when (don't have to give the exact year)?

[guptveer1469]

Nah veer, you didn't ruin the thread.

First rule was by Baba Banda Singh Ji Bahadur in South Haryana area of Punjab in early 1710s.

Guru Ji's visit to Uganda is mentioned in SS Kohli's book.

Yes caveman, I've been doing research and have had amazing results.

I might write a book on Guru Sahib's udasis. Guru Sahib even visited some countries of eastern Europe.
