Q. Consider the following statements regarding Guru Angad Dev Ji:
  1. He founded the city of Khadur Sahib, now located in Tarn Taran district of Punjab.
  2. He introduced the Gurmukhi script by modifying characters of the old Punjabi script.
  3. He started the tradition of Mal Akhara, a place for physical and spiritual exercises.
  4. He compiled the first biography of Guru Nanak Dev Ji known as Bhai Bale Wali Janam Sakhi.
Which of the above statements are correct?
Answer: 1, 2 and 3
Notes: Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct. Guru Angad Dev Ji founded Khadur Sahib, introduced Gurmukhi script, and started Mal Akhara tradition. However, he did not himself compile the Bhai Bale Wali Janam Sakhi; rather, it is attributed to Bhai Bala. Thus, statement 4 is incorrect, making option 1 the correct answer.
