A photograph in a California text book supposedly of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism had outraged the American sikh community. The photograph shows Guru Nanak wearing a crown and with a trimmed beard. This is against everything the Sikhs believe to be true about their prophet Guru Nanak, who was a simple man without ostentatious display of wealth.
According to a New York times report, after months of lobbying by the Sikh community, the California Board of Education voted unanimously on Thursday to ask the book's publisher to remove the portrait from future printings, and to provide a sticker with another image or text to place over the portrait in existing copies.
