Amritsar (Punjab), May 19, 2025: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) General Secretary Gurcharan Singh Grewal has strongly condemned a recent video published by popular YouTuber Dhruv Rathee, accusing him of misrepresenting Sikh history through artificial intelligence-based content.
Grewal criticized Rathee for allegedly distorting several key historical facts, including the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji and the contributions of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur.

He asserted that the Sikh community does not require any AI-driven narratives to tell its history, especially when presented without accuracy or cultural sensitivity.
"The way Dhruv Rathee has presented Sikh history is not only misleading but deeply disrespectful," said Grewal. "He did not even use Guru Sahib's name with the reverence it deserves."
The SGPC leader has urged the government to take strict action against Rathee, warning that such misrepresentations can hurt religious sentiments and spread misinformation among viewers unfamiliar with the Sikh faith.
The SGPC has also called for stricter regulations on digital content related to religious history to prevent future occurrences of what they described as "casual and careless storytelling."
