Following the advice of those who believe in rationalism as well as logic, I am going to argue on Dr. Harsh’s logic about the logic of Sikhism. (Dr. R.P. Harsh: “Brahminical sabotage of Sikh history: Guru Nanak called Khatri”).
Guru Nanak rejected brahminism, preached brotherhood, equality and love among all humans being creatures of one god: ek-onkar-not om or Hari om .
Dr. Harsh could not understand the word ek-onkar which means one common akal purkh or parbrahm, anant, kartar, karta purkh. These are scientific terms. of brahmand, the very universe.
Ek-onkar is totally opposed to the word om but not to ekom.
Inequality of Hinduism: The one common creator has created every human and all other things. All this is detailed in the Guru Granth. This is universal truth. So, a Brahman, a Kshatriya, a Vaish, a Shudra, are all created by ek-onkar (one creator), all with his common contents. So no one is high or low unlike in Hinduism.
Secondly, this term of one single creator was not the discovery of Guru Nanak. The same is said by Sant Namdev, Sant Kabir and Sant Ravidass, but later followed by Guru Nanak. This is also mentioned in the Guru Granth.
Confused Sikhs: As for Ram, this term was coined by Sant Namdev, the very founder of the basic tenets. of Sikhism (as stated in the Guru Granth). Every sant and every guru who has written the Bani, has cleared the term Ram. It is mentioned again and again that “Our Ram is not the son of Dasrath and the husband of Sita. He is the creator of all human beings”.
In our (Sikh) Ram’s universe, brahminism is totally rejected and the rule of equality and brotherhood is accepted.
The Hindu god Ram the son of Dasrath, brother of Lakshman and husband of Sita – is nothing but a man of simple common habits and one who is always guided by his Brahman gurus, who loses his wife, fights with Ravan, kills Bali in disguise, kills Shambuka for being a shudra, All this is detailed in the Guru Granth.
We should not confuse the creator Ram with a created Ram. Sikhism rejects the Hindu god Ram and Krishna.
But the problem with the Sikhs is they themselves are a confused lot. That is why they explained the Bani in brahminical terms and failed to tell the truth of Banito the world.
In my book in Punjabi, Bhartilok Neeti Kiven Bane, I have explained all these. So, never confuse ek- onkar with om and the Sikh Ram with Hindu Ram. The last one is an Aryan invader who killed our forefather, Mahatma Ravan.
Guru Angad was appointed Guru Nanak’s successor only due to his merit of human quality, not merit of caste. Anyone who believes in brahminism and casteism can never be a Sikh or Sikh guru. This is the basic principle of Sikhism. Any man who has faith in brahminism and casteism can’t be a Sikh.
To become a Sikh one must reject and denounce the system of om-brahma, Brahmans and Ved- Shastras. That is why we don’t find a real Sikh in the present world.
Om is a brahminical term and ek-onkar or ekom is a Sikh term.
Who founded Gurumukhi: I am a born Sikh bụt being an Ambedkarite, I have deeply studied marxism, Budhism, Sikhism, Hinduism and Ambedkarism. I went to go deep into Christianity as well as Islam. But I have no proper guide and literature.
Gurmukhi script was not founded only by Guru Nanak. But this is written by Sant Kabir and Sant Ravidass. This is stated in the Guru Granth.
Punjabi or Gurmukhi is a product of our country’s oldest language, Pali. This is a historical fact. Sant Kabir has written Ura, Ara, Een, Sassa, Haha and so on. Sant Namdev has used the same words in his Bani. In North India, the great Baba Farid also wrote his Bani in the same script.
Gurmukhi is evolved out of Pali in which the Bani is written and preached in North, South, East and West India. Sanskrit was unknown. Pali was the only language of common masses.
So, Sant Namdev, Sant Kabir and Sant Ravidass wrote the Bani in the language of the masses as Kabir has detailed it. Ura, Ara, Eri, Sassa, Haha are found in Guru Granth.
Guru Nanak has said that at last “Only truth stands and falsehood shakes”. Where there is truth, there is emancipation and salvation.
