GS Kala afghana is a notorious sikh baiter.He is a middle class educated whose medium of study was Urdu.He had very

scant knowledge of Punjabi.It is believed that books in his name are written by some others.In other words his

name has been used.

It is regretted that a magazine like The sikh review is allowing its pages to be used for anti sikh propaganda.

Vedanti defends Gurbilas, Calcutta backs him

S.P. Singh

CHANDIGARH AUGUST 12

BREAKING Months-long silence in the face of severe criticism of his edited work Gurbilas Patshahi 6, Akal Takht Jathedar Joginder Singh vedanti has now strongly defended his intellectual labour, told his detractors to understand the difference between authored and edited works and said the work is the richest source material on the life and times of sixth Sikh Guru.

Vedanti’s defence comes close on the heels if the latest book of controversial cop-turned- Sikhism preacher Gurbaksh Singh Kala Afghana which castigated Vedanti for editing and propagating and allegedly anti -Sikh book.

"We took upon ourselves the difficult job of comparing and correcting the available texts with the old hand-written manuscripts--We also wrote a detailed preface and make it clear that this is a source about the many important events connected with the life of Guru-Hargobindje, like the creation of Akal Takht," Vedanti told community journal Sant Sipahi in a tape-recorded interview, transcript of which were made available to The Indian Express.

The SGPC, under is new dispensation, also seemed to be backing Vedanti tip the hills and SGPC Secretary Manjit Singh Calcutta said Gurbilas was published by him during his earlier stint at the same job and SGPC would take note of those destroying the Sikh ethos by criticizing Akal Takht.

Vedanti, who denied that Kala-Afghana was excommunicated due to any personal ani mosity, as alleged by the Canada-based author, had so far maintained scene about his own work Kala Afghana, before his ex-communication last month, was summoned repeatedly by the community’s top temporal seat but cited health and other reasons for not appearing.

"The Siks should be cautious about these people whose motive is to deprive the Sikhs of all source material published after 1718, including all the Gurbilas, Suraj Praksh, Mahima Praksh, Panth Praksh, Rahitnama etc. Which book would we the depend upon to write our history? Will we go to the government to seek our history?" Vedanti said, He said there was "no ban on Gurbilas and this will be available from the book-stalls of SGPC and elsewhere."

Calcutta, praising Vedanti’s book said, " if this book is not there, then we do not have any other book about the life and times of Guru Hargobindji. The SGPC will continue its job of bringing out further research materials."

Vedanti said except for Gurbilas, no other book has the mention of creation of Akal Takht.

" I and Bhai Amarjit Singh, who was then professor at Shaheed Sikh Missionary College Amritsar, were given the job of editing this main source book on the occasion of the sixth Guru’s 400 birth anniversary--. My job was to edit the already available book which had been published many times including thrice by the Languages Department," Vedanti said.

He said Bhai Santokh Singh had also written momentum works like Guru Partap Suraj Granth, Guru Nanak Partap etc and these were edited by Bhai Vir Singh. "Certain points which are being raised about Gurbilas also figure verbatim in Gur Partap Suraj Granth and other book of Bhai Santokh Singh edited by Bhai Vir Singh," the Akal Takht jathedar said, Vedanti made it clear that he planned to take head-on Kala Afghana supporters. "We are closely watching the activites of those collaborating with him and I assure they will be taken to jusice. No one is above the Hukamnama and no one will be allowed to cross his limits."

What does a policeman, who joined Punjab Police as a constable and rose to become a thanedar after serving all his life, know about

the significance of literature and history.

The main intention of such bigots is to discredit sikh historical resources.he does not know head and tail about the books that are written

in his name.

Sangat can see mental level of such phony scholars of kala afghana creed.When engaged in discussion( They do not want to engage in discussions) they have no answers.

The Gurbilas Patshahi 6 by Sodhi Teja Singh is not the same book that is being spoken about. I have two copies of the original and if anyone does actually want to read the Gurbilas Patshahi 6 by Bhai Mani Singh Ji is available on www.punjabdigilib.org
