💥UPSC 2026, 2027 UAP Mentorship - June Batch Starts

Discuss the values and teaching of Guru Nanak and elaborate upon their relevance in the context of present social changes. 10 marks

Mentor’s comment-

  • In the introduction discuss in short the facts related to Guru Nanak.
  • In the body explain in detail the philosophies propounded by him.
    Then discuss that his teaching hold great value today in overcoming caste and religious discrimination, intolerance of other views, corruption, addiction of alcohol and drugs, clash of
    civilizations, terrorism and other social evils.
  • Conclude that in a world that is increasingly fragmented with a narrow, tunnel vision, bigotry and dogmatism, we have to walk on the path shown to us by Nanak and other illustrious gurus to dispel
    the darkness that constantly threatens to envelop individuals, communities and nations.
