Piara Singh Bhaniara

Piara Singh Bhaniara (23 August 1958 – December 30, 2019) also known as Baba Bhaniara (or Bhaniarawala), was a Dalit religious leader from Punjab, India. He established a Sikh sect in the 1980s, which was opposed by mainline Khalsa Sikhs as insulting to their faith. In 2001, his followers published their own holy text ''Bhavsagar Granth'', and allegedly insulted the Sikh holy book ''Guru Granth Sahib''. This sparked violence against Bhaniara's followers. The Government of Punjab banned ''Bhavsagar Granth'', and arrested and jailed Bhaniara. Provided by Wikipedia
