Expanding Taksal into new fields

Wanted Sangats veecher, should Taksal expand into other fields that are closely linked to what they are already doing to expand their influence.

For instance should Taksal start training Taksalis to be Punjabi language professors, since a Taksali already has a lot of knowledge of Gurmukhi. 

Also, since Taksalis have knowledge of history they should try to have Taksali history professors.  

There are many ideas like this but would like Sangats feedback.

What is the difference between Gurmukhi and Punjabi?

They should do this, but I don't think they are particular keen on innovations right now. 

I spoke to a quite high ranking Taksali giani a while ago (about Suraj Prakash) and he said that they read it in their curriculum, but I was quite surprised to hear that they read a Panjabi translation, as opposed to the original Braj Bhasha text.

Well, from my understanding Gurmukhi is the text/script that most Sikh writings use. But the actual languages within these texts vary enormously and use lots of vocabulary from languages such as Panjabi, Farsi, Braj Bhasha.
