Well folks, looks like another deep split is opening up in Sikhism. This time over the issue of Dasam Granth and whether all or part of it was authored by Guru Gobind Singh Jee. Professor Darshan Singh apparently does not believe that all the compositions of the Dasam Granth were written by Guru Gobind Singh Jee. This has created an almighty furore within the Sikh community. The pro Dasam Granth faction want the professor to be ex-communicated from the Sikh religion.
What the vampire finds highly hypocritical is the fact that we have the Akhand Kirtani Jatha who dispute the Guru Granth Sahib Jee. They believe the final section, the Raag Mala, was inserted by someone else and should therefore not be considered to be part of the Guru Granth Sahib Jee. However no one is hauling them up before the Akal Takht or calling for their excommunication from Sikhism. It seems that there as usual is a rule for one person and another rule for someone else.
What is worse? Those that criticise the writings of Guru Granth Sahib Jee or the Dasam Granth?
