Why was guru har krishan important?
The Guru Granth Sahib is the holy scripture and the final Guru of Sikhs. It is some 1430 pages in length and was compiled and composed from 1469 to 1708. It is a collection of hymns which describe the nature of God and the correct way to live.
No one can alter any of the writings of the Sikh Gurus written in Guru Granth Sahib; this includes sentences, words, structure and grammar.
The Guru Granth Sahib is kept in a place of honour in the gurdwara (place of worship), and there is a ceremony during which the scripture is "put to bed" at the end of the day.
Any copies of their sacred book Guru Granth Sahib which are too badly damaged to be used, and any printer's waste which contains any of its text, are cremated in a similar fashion to the deceased.

Why did the Sikhs want to separate from India?
Generally speaking there is no such idea prevailing in the minds of the Sikh people.Though it goes back to before independence. India as a country has vast population with a multi religious, multi lingual, multi ethnic pluralistic society.During the independence of India there were talks between Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims that after gaining independence they would go their ways. And it did happen for Muslims as Pakistan was formed in the year 1947 and the larger part of India remained with Hindu population with small population for Sikhs. During the partition of India, the state of Punjab was divided into two, western Punjab(55%) which went to Pakistan and eastern Punjab (45%) remained with India. Please note that Punjab is the birthplace of Sikhsm and also the cultural and traditional ideas of Sikhism are rooted in Punjab. Even today the state of Punjab exist on the both side of the border, India and Pakistan.
Furthermore, Indai being a multi lingual state, the Indian state of Punjab was further divided into 3 parts, as Haryana, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh in 1966 leaving Punjab with very small portion compared to its original size. During this time also came "The Green Revolution" which acclerated the economic condition of Punjab well above the rest of the Indian states and Punjab is known as the "bread basket of their respective countries" both India and Pakistan.
Together with the past unfullfilled promises of Indian Governemnt of giving Sikhs their own state and the development of economic condition not to mention the division of Punjab, led Sikhs to get to a point where things really became desperate, from genuie nationalsim for having their own state to terroist activities. Eventually, it all ended by the early 90's begining in 70's. And now there is no such things in general public mind especially Sikhs who live in India.
Though one may find Sikhs who live outside India sometimes talk of it but it has no effect as they are all outside India and few of them actually are ex bad guys residing outside India.
"Mavi Jatt" is a term that combines "Mavi," which is a surname or given name, with "Jatt," referring to a prominent agricultural community in India and Pakistan, particularly among Punjabi people. While "Mavi" can be a last name, "Jatt" itself is not a surname but rather a caste or community designation. Therefore, "Mavi Jatt" could refer to someone with the last name Mavi who belongs to the Jatt community.
How does a langar show equality?
Langar has always been served while sitting on a matted floor. No one is allowed to sit any different from any other while in Langar. Hence, no one irrespective of any age, color,race, religion, gender, or whatsoever is differentiated from any other. Further more, since ground itself is leveled, sitting in one row only represent equality.
Why were there no women Gurus in Sikhism?
Here is an excellent portrayal of the role of Sikh Women in history:
Additionally, after the 3rd Guru passing on Guruship to 4th Guru all following Guruship remained within the family. THere is a sakhi that states it was the request of one of the daughter's of the 3rd Guru. The fact is that All of the Guru's after the 4th Guru had only Son's.
Now people can blame inequality, but the facts of the matter are there is a 50/50 chance of a boy or girl being born, either XX, or XY. It just so happens that the Guruship remained in one house, one family at the request of 1 woman, and it just so happens that in passing the lineage of the Guru occurred due to the fact that only son's were born in this family.
Additionally, other's will point out the argument that due to the role of the Guru having to commit to the people of that time, it would have been difficult for a woman to be Guru and to have kids, meaning that up to over a year at a time would be taken out of Guruship duties. But again, the situation never arose because daughter's were not born.
In my opinion, the Sakhi of the 3rd Guru is the Truth, in that a woman (daughter of 3rd Guru) requested the Guruship to remain in the family, and subsequently son's were born and due to the request the Guruship was passed in this manner. So in actual fact it was a woman who determined the Guruship from 5th-10th Guru's.
