Mahatma Gandhi and C.F. Andrews: A Study in Hindu-Christian Dialogue by K. L. Seshagiri Rao, published in 1969 by Punjabi University, Patiala, explores the relationship between Mahatma Gandhi and C.F. Andrews, highlighting their efforts to foster interfaith dialogue. However, Gandhi's interactions with the Sikh community have stirred controversy. Despite their distinct religious identity, he referred to Sikhs as "Hindus." His comments and actions, such as condemning the conversion of Untouchables to Sikhism and insisting on Sikhism's affiliation with Hinduism, deeply hurt Sikh sentiments. Moreover, Gandhi criticized Sikh symbols like the Khalsa Panth and the Gurmukhi script, urging Sikhs to abandon them. These controversies raise questions about Gandhi's understanding of Sikhism and his approach to interfaith dialogue.
