Confusion over the Nanakshahi calendar would has its bearing over the birth anniversary celebrations of Guru Gobind Singh, which falls twice next year.

The ‘Parkash Purb’ (birth anniversary) would be observed on January 9, 2022 and December 29, 2022, as well, due to the discrepancy in dates.

The original Nanakshahi calendar is being followed by several Sikh organisations in India, by the Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee and gurdwara panels in the US, whereas the amended version of the calendar is followed by the SGPC.

Accordingly, the confusion has prevailed in the government’s gazetted holiday list of 2022 too, which has two dates.

Another hitch is that the shaheedi purb of Chhote Sahibzaade and Mata Gujri (four sons and mother of Guru Gobind Singh) falls a day before the gurpurb on December 28 in 2022.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
