This is not a question, but a comment on the posting made regarding Nanaksar Gurdwaras on 11.5.02.
The writer who is a student has glorified this place and even mentioned that all that happens over there is in accordance with the Maryada.
The bitter truth is that all that happens in all these "thaths" (as they are called, not gurdwaras) is complete "Manmat". The only Maryada followed there is that of the "Baba".
So Called followers of Baba Nand Singh have hijacked his legacy and created these "thaths". His legacy of deep spiritual discipline, destroying all the places where he meditated and not leaving any "deras' behind has been done away with by these persons. The head of this "dera" is a criminal who has murdered people and was about to be hanged till the Chief Minister of Panjab got him a presidential pardon.
Such people can hardly be committed to the faith or be beacons to inspire us to the faith in Sri Guru Granth sahib that the kalgidhar commanded us to.
I have no interest in doing their "ninda" but since this article has been posted on the sikhnet and is available in your archives, it is my humble request that this correction be posted as well. Alternatively (and perhaps even better) the previous article can be pulled from your archives and there will be no reason for this response to be posted then.
I leave the choice to you and apologise for this write up.
