Guru Granth
to be translated into Urdu
LAHORE, Feb 23, 2006
The Academy of Guru Granth Studies,
USA, will help establish a research section in the
Dyal Singh Library here. This was stated by academy
president Dr Harbans Lal at a press conference here
on Thursday.
He said that the holy book of Sikhs
would be translated into Urdu while research material
would also be donated to the proposed section. The
step, he said, was being taken to improve understanding
between Muslim and Sikh communities.
He was critical of historians who,
he said, had committed blunders while reporting
the Sikh history.
Denying that Sikh Gurus and Moghul
rulers had enmity between them, he recalled that
Akbar the Great had donated land for constructing
the city of Amritsar whose foundation stone was
laid by Hazrat Mian Mir of Lahore.
Condemning the sacrilegious cartoons,
he called for giving the message that religions
were not for spreading hatred among mankind rather
these had come to spread love and respect for each
other. (Source, Pakistan, dawn.com)
