Gurdwara Nankana Sahib
Short brief history of Nankana Sahib, Punjab (Pakistan)
Nankana Sahib is a city and capital of District Nankana Sahib in the Punjab province of Pakistan. It is named after the first guru of the Sikhs "Nanak" Guru Nanak Dev Ji spread the light of the universal message to this world so it is a city of high historic and religious value and is a popular pilgrimage site for Sikhs from all over the world.
Previously the township was known as Rai-Bhoi_Di_Talwandi and was renamed after the birth of Nanak Dev. The Janam Asthan Gurdwara Nanak Sahib originally constructed in around 1600 CE. During the Akali movement on Feb 1921, Narain Das the Udasi mahant of the Gurdwara at Nankana Sahib ordered his men to fire on Akali protesters, leading to the Nankana massacre. The firing was widely condemned and a agitation was lanched until the control of this historic Janam Asthan Gurdwara was restored to the Sikh. In May 2005 the Punjab Government decided to raise the status of Nankana Sahib to that of a district.
