What do we know about him?

although he has translated dasam granth sahib - he is very doubtful that it is guru sahibs rachna. further more Anti -Dasam group such as the likes of singh sabha canada side with his views, and use his translations to twist the arths of bani.

I tell you what, I just read a few pages and the vocabulary is deep. I never knew the Panjabi bhasha had so many advanced words. Curse my simple pendu linguistic upbringing!! Was mum and dad only semi-literate I wonder?

He doubted that DG was Guru's rachna in that book but a few years ago he was part of the DG seminar organised by the dodgy baba of Mehrauli in which he changed his views. Apparently his wife was up for some academic post at some university and the dodgy baba had influence to give her that post.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers!

The guy must be getting on. He's been publishing books since the 60s.

Rattan Singh Jaggi was once an Anti Dasam Granth supporter during his early career when he started research. But he did not discard all of the Dasam Granth like the Kala Afghanists. The Sikh missionary college followed his views and research on Dasam Granth. Then after furthur advanced study of the Dasam Granth he came to the conclusion that Dasam Granth is in fact the Bani of Guru Gobind Singh Jee. Many missionaries felt disillusioned by his new research, most of them even going to the Kala Afghanist camp.
The "Singh Sabha" Canada and especially Jeowala who liked to quote Jaggi a lot since he was the only real scholar the anti Dasam Granth camp had to quote from, when asked about Jaggi's recent views about Dasam Granth began making up a story about him changing his views because he wanted his wife to get a job. When the views of a scholar cannot be countered, lies are made about him in order to discredit him. Brothers this is old fashioned character assassination which the Kala Afghanists are expert in.

Whatever his views on DG, reading a few pages of Dasam Granth kartritav completely and utterly dispels the notion that Panjabi is some unsophisticated pendu language.
Does anyone know if he has published his current views on DG and what the publication is called?
You know, reading the book has me thinking we should start a thread where we put words down in Panjabi and people try and guess what it means. Sort of like a game that should help with vocabulary building. What do you guys think?

Jaggi believes fully in Dasam Granth now.
Yes DalSingh good idea, bother to start?
