In a recent judgement on the Sikh Swarup, the High Court of Punjab and Haryana has used the Sikh history as approved by the Shrimoni Gurdwara Parbhandak Committee.

However, in the academic circle there is a debate that how far approval of an organisation vis-i-vis the actual actual craft of a historian shall given importance. In the era of digital history, this issue has been taken up by the people who have started the new field of knowledge popularly known as Digitial History. On the same lines of argument, the history content of Wikipedia has come under scanner and lot of criticism.

The world of historians do not react to such developments and they prefer to watch the things that happens and the way happens. However, there is need to give freedom to the historians to use their craft while evaluating the past. There should not be any binding or hindrance to the interpertations which they bring out.
