The Preservation of Gurmukhi
To ensure the Guru's word reached the common people, Guru Angad refined and standardized the Gurmukhi script. By making the language accessible to all, regardless of caste or education, he broke the monopoly of the priestly class over spiritual knowledge, empowering the masses to read and write.
