The intentional belittling and distortion of Sikh tradition by some historians is the result of an inherent inability in the establishment historiography to understand the social dynamics of Indic spirituality.
Establishment historians of India have always had a problem with Sikhism. Sikhism stands out as an egalitarian movement, rooted in Indic spirituality and chronicles and meticulously portrays the religious persecution suffered by Indian people. Some historians with their Marxist-M.N.Roy axiom say that monotheism is superior to Indic spirituality and have always tried to minimize as much as possible the importance of Sikhism in the Indian national movement. So, they categorize Guru Nanak as a monotheist under Islamic influence and the Sikh movement as a subaltern movement that can be explained best through leftist-Marxist equations.

As for you:
@hit&run
Sexual morality
Sleep only with your own woman. Avoid prostitutes, Shun the following women: a Musalli, a Dum, a procuress, a loose woman, and anyone belonging to a caste different from your own. [14, 25, 29, 44]
Assistance in times of need
A Singh who is a raja should care for a poor Singh. Give him money or a horse. Singhs who are away from home require particular attention. Keep only Singhs as servants. [41, 42]
Treatment of women
Regard another's daughter as your own and treat another's wife is your mother. [13]
The Guru Granth Sahib
Every day, show your love for the sacred
bani. When a passage is being read from the Granth, or God
(hari) is being pro-claimed, concentrate your attention closely. [8, 27]
Marriage
Marry a girl from your own caste. [28]
The langar
Verses 90—113 and 117 provide a very detailed procedure for conducting a langar. The author inconsistently claims that in the langar, there should be no discrimination on the grounds of caste (see Caste). He adds that a prince preparing a large langar for his poor subjects should follow the same procedure.
Weapons and Warfare
A Khalsa should never be without a weapon. Do not pray without having your weapons with you. Intoxicating liquor may be taken before battle, but should otherwise be avoided. In battle the Khalsa should never be defeated. Sustain the spirit which declares, `I shall kill the enemy! ' In a fight never turn you back or flee from the field of battle. In battle the Singh should roar like a lion. Let him do the deeds of a Kshatriya, crying `Kill! Kill!' as he fights. Never wield a weapon against another Singh. See him as the Guru. The Khalsa who is killed in battle will certainly go to paradise. The glory of he who wins will resound the whole world over. If anyone fears fighting battles let him turn to agriculture. [33, 43, 45–9, 70]
Caste
A Singh protects cows and Brahmans. Ensure that your cooking arrangements are kept unpolluted. Do not permit the following to participate in your langar: barbers, Jhivars who shave heads, weavers, potters, and others of low caste. Brahmans and those of good family who do not touch bhang or tobacco can all pre-pare food in a langar. Preaching should convince the four castes of the message concerning warfare. '° [16, 102—4]
False Teachers
Slander of the Guru is a serious offence. The Veda tells us that we should not defame any of the world's panths. Every panth is the dwelling-place of God
(hari). Slander, misrepresentation, and envy are great evils. [60—1]
Attitude Towards Muslims
Smite Turks with immense vigour. A Singh who obeys the Rahit does not bow when he meets a Turk. Never serve Turks, never greet a Turk, never trust Turks. Serve only the Khalsa. Avoid Muslim
huttha meat. By fighting them face to face the Muslims will be defeated. Remain ever alert against the Turks. A Turk should be neither accepted as a master nor treated with deference. Keep Muslims away from your cooking-square when preparing for a langar. Muslims are polluted. [16, 20, 21, 30, 45, 46, 62, 94]
Attitude Towards Hindus
A Singh protects cows and Brahmans. Avoid Sanyasis, Bairagis, Udasis, yogis, Shaivite mendicants, and Tantrics. Never eat their food. Those who follow any of the six Hindu systems may believe in them, but for a Singh they are not acceptable. [16, 33, 34]
