Question

• A. Guru k Dev
• B. Guru Angad Dev
• C. Guru Raidas
• D. Guru Arjan Dev

Hint:

The line of Ten Sikh Gurus consists of: 1. k, 2. Angad, 3. Amar Das, 4. Ram Das, 5. Arjan, 6. Hargobind, 7. Har Rai, 8. Har Krishan, 9. Tegh Bahadur, 10. Gobind Singh. Any other saint, even if included in the holy scriptures, is an outlier in a list of Gurus.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To determine the odd one out from the list of Sikh Gurus, we need to understand who each of these figures is within the context of Sikh history.

1. Guru Angad Dev: He was the second of the ten Sikh Gurus. He is known for introducing the Gurmukhi script, which became the medium for writing the Punjabi language, and for encouraging physical fitness through his promotion of the game Mal Akhara.
2. Guru Arjan Dev: He was the fifth Sikh Guru and is credited with compiling the Adi Granth, the sacred scripture of Sikhism. He also completed the construction of the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) in Amritsar.
3. Guru k Dev: This appears to be a typographical error or incomplete name that needs clarification. No Sikh Guru by this exact name exists.
4. Guru Raidas: Known also as Guru Ravidas, he was a prominent Indian saint of the Bhakti movement but not a Sikh Guru. He belonged to a different spiritual tradition focused on social justice and personal devotion to God.

Conclusion: The odd one out in this list is Guru Raidas as he was not a Sikh Guru but an important figure in the Bhakti movement. Hence, the correct answer is Guru Raidas.
