Biography

Файл:Opening folio of an early edition of Giani Gian Singh's 'Panth Prakash'.jpg
Opening folio of an early edition of Giani Gian Singh's 'Panth Prakash'. It contains an illustrated depiction of the author.

He was born into a Jat family.[1] He was sponsored by Maharaja Narinder Singh and assisted Pundit Tara Singh Narotam for his work in writing the Sri Guru Tirath Sangreh.[4] His work, Twarikh Guru Khalsa, was meant to be a simplification of the Suraj Parkash by Kavi Santokh Singh, which had been written in Braj verse that was difficult to decode.[4] He reintroduced novel understandings about the compilation of the primary Sikh scriptural canon, the Guru Granth Sahib, by suggesting it was compiled through the collecting of various works by the previous gurus held by various, distant Sikh congregations, a process that took years.[5]
