On the occasion of Lohri, Harper Collins announced the release of 'Guru Nanak: The First Sikh Guru' by Harish Dhillon. Guru Nanak was born 550 years ago, during a period of political and religious turmoil in India. The tension between Hindus and Muslims had escalated, leading to a greater polarization of the two religions. Guru Nanak created a synthesis of Hinduism and Islam with the belief that God is one.
