NCERT has deleted substantial portion of the history of the Sikhs, reducing them to the status of non entity and ignoring the contribution of the Sikhs to the history of India. This is much more serious matter and once again I would suggest that the SGPC should frame a clear cut policy on these subjects and serious efforts should be made to protect the history of the Sikhs and the turban in other countries of the world, if the glory of Sikhism is to be kept intact
