Q. Which Sikh guru introduced Gurumukhi script?
(a) Guru Nanak
(b) Guru Ramdas
(c) Guru Gobind Singh
(d) Guru Angad
Ans: (d) Guru Angad
Explanation: The Sikh guru who introduced the Gurumukhi script was (d) Guru Angad.
Guru Angad Dev, the second Sikh Guru, is credited with modifying and popularizing the Gurumukhi script. He realized the need for a script that could effectively convey the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev, the first Sikh Guru. Guru Angad Dev modified the existing Punjabi script and developed Gurumukhi to make it more suitable for writing Punjabi and expressing the Sikh religious texts.
Under Guru Angad Dev’s guidance, the Gurumukhi script gained prominence and was used to write hymns, poetry, and the sacred scripture of Sikhism. The use of Gurumukhi script continued to expand under subsequent Sikh Gurus, and it became the standard script for writing and preserving Sikh religious texts, including the Guru Granth Sahib. Today, Gurumukhi remains the script used for writing Punjabi and is an integral part of Sikh religious and cultural identity.
