Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, May 19, 2025: YouTuber Dhruv Rathee has taken down a video from his YouTube channel after it sparked controversy for presenting information on Sikh history—reportedly generated with the help of AI—excluding Guru Gobind Singh.The video gained massive traction, garnering millions of views within just 10–12 hours of being posted.
However, it soon drew criticism, including a strong reaction from the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), which issued a statement demanding that Rathee not only remove the video but also issue a public apology to the Sikh community.
Prior to SGPC’s official statement, Dhruv Rathee had already asked his followers for feedback, questioning whether the video should be taken down.
As the controversy escalated, he made the decision to delete the video from his channel in what many see as a respectful and responsible move.
