Here's just one example of SHOCKING SHAMELESS frauds committed by the most important and inluential of SinghSabha/#SGPC "scholar", #BhaiVirSingh, whom GoI has honored with Sahitya Academy & Padma Bhushan awards too.

SriGurPanthPrakash (popularly known as PrachinPanthPrakash) is one the most imp Sikh historical documents. In words of very imp scholar DrGandaSingh, had it not been for its author: "eighteenth century history of the Sikhs would have largely remained mostly a matter of surmise".
And VirSingh, minion of MacAullife, is father of modern #Sikh identity. To become designated Sikh preacher today one has to read and rely for reference texts edited by VirSingh. Excuse sacrilege, but he's their Shankaracharya so to say.
So what did VirSingh do with PanthPrakash?

This fine research article in Punjabi t.me/SikhsSEVA/58 goes into 100s of fraudulent insertions/deletions/editions committed by VirSingh on it to further his narrative.
To give a taste, comparing Vir Singh's version to manuscripts found later (767 & 276 preserved at GNDU):

Hindu-Sikh separateness didn't exist in middle of 19th century when text was written, but to create facts to fit his narrative, Vir Singh replaced the words:
Hinduan to Sikhan/Singhan!
Ganesh to Akal Purakh!
Raja Janak to Nanak/Satguru!
Hinduan to Sikhan/Singhan!
Ganesh to Akal Purakh!
Raja Janak to Nanak/Satguru!
He deleted entire passages related to Chandi.
Ex: famous story of 10th Guru performed Hom at NainaDevi for 6mths after which Chandi appeared & asked for sacrifice of his eldest son. Guru offered all 4.
Or, Panth didn't commit female-infanticide for their Guru was Shakta himself.

Toady Vir Singh also didn't want to offend British so he changed their description in book from लूटवारी (plunderers) to हठवारी (firm-rulers).
He removed lines like:
तुम ख़ालसे हो हिंदू धर्म।पंथ नानक को छत्री कर्म।
(Khalsa belongs to Hindu Dharma. Nanak's sect is to be Warriors).

I can go on and on. My plate is full. Someone may translate entire article to Hindi/English.
Punjabis may not be prepared but need to know what's been inflicted on them. Sikhi told from ramparts of SGPC has very little of Gurus -and much of VirSingh and worse that came after him.
