This is the story a tradition keeps when it wants to be held to its own standard. Ram Rai, Guru Har Rai's elder son, was sent to Aurangzeb's court to answer a complaint about a line in the Guru Granth Sahib — Nanak's verse about the dust of a Muslim's grave. Under pressure, he altered a single word to make it inoffensive. His father's response was total: he barred him from the Sikh community, refused to see him again, and passed the Guruship over him to his five-year-old brother. Ram Rai went on to found his own following at Dehradun, where the Udasi-linked Ramraiya sect persists. The story is told to establish that the text cannot be adjusted for political convenience, and Sikhs cite it whenever a printing error or an unauthorised abridgement of the scripture surfaces — which is also why the desecration of scripture copies is treated as gravely as it is in Punjab.
