You may have heard about the movement which has been undertaken by the Delhi Sikh Gurdwaras Committee and the SGPC under the auspices of Siri Akal Takhat Sahib to restore the Gurdwara Gyan Godri at Haridwar, the famous Hindu Holy site in India.
In 1979, mobs destroyed this historic Gurdwara and the Sikhs ever since have been trying to restore the Gurdwara. This is where Guru Nanak Dev Ji during his first Udasi (travel on foot) gave the Hindu Pundits a lesson about false rituals and idol worship. Here is a link to the sakhi
