But what were V1 doing while this was happening? This wasn’t an overnight change
British accelerated it - is known fact. Their “management” of Duleep Singh is very well documented
But all this indicates absence of V1 role on adhidaivik and adhyātmik guidance of all Hindu castes

That is precisely my doubt. If influence of V1 was so strong on Hindu community, why did a huge chunk of Hindu population gradually turn to Sikh Panth?
I presumed that this was because the hold of V1 on spiritual matters of all Hindus wasn’t strong enough.

But it has been very strongly rebutted by Punjab Brahmins on my TL since yesterday
I (not being a Punjabi myself) have accept that I was wrong and they are telling me things about their influence (historically) on Hindu society at large was strong as any other part of desh.

But then what explains emergence of Sikh Panth as a parallel movement? British accelerated it - yes. But did they create that divide from scratch?
If yes, why couldn’t V1 influence this section which eventually became Sikhs, from leaving Shruti smriti purāNokta sanatan dharma?

Conversion to Islam is understood. 1000 years being on the highway of Islamic invasions. It is a sad story - the periodic ravaging of Punjab by Turko-Mongol tribes of CAR. This conversion looks to be coercive or induced by various assorted Sultans etc.
But significant chunk remained Hindu in spite of this.
Sikh Panth got its converts from this Hindu pie.
If V1 sabha and orthodox sanatan dharma etc were very strong in every village of greater Punjab region, why all this happened?
What am I missing here? Genuinely curious.
