Sikhism founder Guru Nanak Dev Jayanti

The teachings of Guru Nanak Dev show us the path of establishing a just social order. The social order of his time was based on inequality and injustice. He not only condemned but challenged that order in which the dominant forces of all shades were exploiting the marginalised sections. In this way, the ideology of Baba Nanak was deadly against the unjust order of the then Mughal ruler Babur. Baba Nanak condemned the caste structure and showed a path to his followers to rise above caste. His closest disciples Bhai Mardana and Bhai Bala belonged to lower castes.
