A 'sanad' (contract) document issued by Guru Gobind Singh's court to a local Brahmin of what is today Madhya Pradesh, circa late-1706 or 1707

Summary[edit]

Description
English: A 'sanad' ("contract") issued by Guru Gobind Singh. It was "rediscovered" by mainstream academia early in the year 2000 in Handiya tehsil, Harda district, Madhya Pradesh the possession of a Brahmin family, being held by a certain Gokul Bhatt, who claimed the 'sanad' had been bestowed upon his ancestor, Bongar Bhatt, by the tenth Guru. It was said to have been issued by Guru Gobind Singh as he was travelling southward in late-1706 C.E. to meet with the Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb (1618–1707 C.E.). In 2006, the Archaeology Department (of Madhya Pradesh?) authenticated the document as being genuine. Further information (from: [1]):

Harda, MP, Aug 7 (UNI) A 'sanad (document)' -- written by Tenth Sikh Guru Gobind Singh -- discovered at Handiya tehsil in Harda district of Madhya Pradesh has been verified by the Archaeology department. Madhya Pradesh State Minorities Commission member P S Anand said a detailed report about religious and historical importance of the village would be presented to the state government. Besides, he would write to the government for collection of the document. The Commission will demand the state government for declaring Handiya (Harda), Hoshangabad, Burhanpur, Omkareshwar (Khandwa) and Betma (Indore) as religious towns. UNI XC-PS VD ND1904
