The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), which is referred
to as mini Parliament of Sikhs, has decided to get Sikh history
re-written following research in this regard.
For this, SGPC has constituted a five-member committee, including
Punjabi University Vice-Chancellor Dr Jaspal Singh and historian Dr J S
Grewal. SGPC Secretary Roop Singh will be the co-ordinator of the
panel.
“There has been a long pending demand from both across the
country and abroad that a research should be conducted on Sikh history
so that it could be written afresh,” SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar
said.
When contacted, SGPC Administrative Secretary Dalmegh Singh said
the idea aimed at look for comprehensive details about Sikh history so
that doubts and confusions caused could be clarified. “Following the
research, the book will be published by SGPC,” he added.
“The panel will conduct a research by sifting through the
archives and books on Sikh history. We will also seek feedback from
scholars and historians who have already written books on Sikh history,”
Dr Jaspal Singh said.
