<div>Here is another schoalrly paper presented at Guru nanak University but "REJECTED" for obvious reasons...
It shows that the SANT-SIPAHI tradition flows form Guru Head..Guru nanak ji Sahib Himself...and doesnt depend on dg or other outside sources not included in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji the Complete Guru..

The Sikh War Code, its Spiritual Inspiration and Impact on History
[This paper was presented to the Guru Nanak University for publication in response to their invitation. It was not published because the University did not accept that Guru Nanak had political concerns. This was the primary objection. My view, strengthened by this episode, is that certain people in our universities are succumbing to the diktat of the permanent cultural majority to bring Sikhi within the ambit of previously prevailing culture. In my opinion this cultural aggression needs to be resisted]
It was Guru Nanak who laid down the basic rules that must govern the waging of war by his disciples. Besides pointing out the code of conduct in conflicts, he also spoke about the mental equipment, spiritual training and self discipline of a soldier. He is again the one who defines what makes conflict legitimate, the extent to which it is to be pursued by individual soldiers and armies and the purpose to be achieved by waging war. He talks of brave knights and martyrs being honoured at Akalpurakh
