Follow Surender Pal Singh as he speaks about how, while serving as the Guru, Guru Teghbahadar Sahib visited far-off places and interacted with many individuals and communities.

This presentation explores the Guru’s interactions with people and communities and the underlying principles that governed the Guru’s politics of alliances.
