Incorrect terminology used on live show article in celebration of 300 years of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Posted on July 20, 2009

MATV were using incorrect terminology by referring to Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as ‘the holy book’ on the live show article in celebration of 300 years of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

SCYS wrote to MATV to refrain from using incorrect terminology although we do recognise that over the past years, many sikh writers  have used the terminology ‘Holy Book’ and ‘Sikh Bible’ to assist the host Christian community to understand Sikh beliefs.

However, as Sikhs, in the community and media are in a prime position to increase the knowledge and understanding of non-Sikhs in society today, we should refrain from using incorrect terminology.
