The reported proposal of Pakistan to allow only Sikh Pilgrims inside the historic Sri Kartarpur Sahib Gurudwara has exposed Machiavellian designs of Pakistan of creating a divide between the devotees of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji . When the tenth Guru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji formed the Khalsa Panth to fight against Mughals , It has been a practice thereafter in every Hindu Family to make its eldest son to be a Sikh . Thus all the ten Gurus are revered by Sikhs as well as Hindus . Both Hindus and Sikhs celebrate the days of All the ten Gurus with great enthusiasm in India as well as abroad. Thus the ties of Hindus and Sikhs are intertwined in such a way to make it inseparable. It is pertinent to note that Sindhi Hindu Families whether living in Pakistan or in India revere only Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji as their Isht. What about the descendants of Bhai Bala and Bhai Mardana, the disciples of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, will they be not allowed to pay obeisance at Sri Kartarpur Sahib. When Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji visited different places of the world, the native people started revering Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji with different names in India- Guru Nanak Dev Ji, In Sri Lanka- Nanakcharia, In Tibet- Nanak Lama, In Sikkim & Bhutan- Guru Rimpochia, In Mecca- Wali Rind, In Russia- Nanak Kadamdar, In Iraq- Baba Nanak, In Nepal- Nanak Rishi, In Bagdad- Nanak Peer, In Missr- Nanak Wali and In China - Baba Fussa. Thus the reverence of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji transcends the boundaries of the Countries. How Pakistan would have felt if only Hindus and Sikhs from Pakistan are allowed to visit their shrines and Muslims are refrained from visiting Ajmer Shariff ? I appeal to the Prime Minister of India Mr Narendera Modi and Union External Affairs Minister Smt Sushma Swaraj to take up the matter with the Pakistan Counterpart and the entry of Sri Kartarpur Sahib Corridor must be open for all Devotees , for Sikhs as well as Hindus whosoever want to pay their obeisance at Gurudwara Sri Kartarpur Sahib on the occasion of celebrations of 550 th Birth Anniversary of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji
