editCan anyone clarify this statement in the lead: In real terms, the day of release of the sixth Guru with the 52 kings was actually a few days months after Diwali in 1619.
If the Guru arrived in Amritsar on the day of Diwali, he must have left Gwalior (in central India) a while before Diwali. Also, as I understand it, Diwali itself is not celebrating any dated historical event, so the passage about "different months" may be redundant: Noyster (talk), 10:34, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
- That is simply not possible and is incorrect. The Sikh guru Hargobind was released probably in 1611 or 1612 since one of his sons was born in 1613. KahnJohn27 (talk) 11:53, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
The previous dates of celebration is totally incorrect
editThe article says Guru Amardas “explicitly” stated Bandi Chhor Diwas with Vaisakhi and it was only the Sikh political leaders who started Claiming Diwali day as Bandi chhor Diwas- whereas Guru Amardas was the third guru and Guru Hargobind was the SIXTH guru.

- Diwali, Maghi and Vaiskahi were chosen by the THIRD guru for Sikhs to attend the Gurdwara. Another reason to celebrate arose with the SIXTH guru. The use of the term Bandi Chor Divas is a recent phrase for a celebration that is referred to in the Guru Granth Sahib as Diwali. (talk) 09:31, 8 November 2018
No information on 52 kings
editBandi chor diwas is a fake event. No reference in any scriptures. 2600:1700:4411:E280:D94D:4F71:1B7F:CAD5 (talk) 01:37, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
