"This rahit-nama purports to be a lengthy question-and-answer conversation between Nand Lal and Guru Gobind Singh, followed by an account by the elderly Desa Singh of a vision that he had of the Guru. In this vision Guru Gobind Singh assured Desa Singh that he had written the whole of the Dasam Granth. It is by no means certain that the two parts of the rahit-nama belong together, their contrasting subjects fitting very imper *fectly. It is, however, the composite version which has come down to us, and we must accept it in its present form until evidence is produced which enables us to change our view. There can be no doubt of course that the reasons for both sections are fanciful. We have already seen that the date of Desa Sing h 's rahit-nama is late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, a period which makes it impossible to record a conversation , between Guru Gobind Singh and Nand Lal. Similarly the vision of Desa Singh must be rejected, as only a small portion at most of the Dasam Granth can claim to be the work of the Guru!"

Anyway why are Sikhs on this website so obsessed about the caste system? It has nothing to do with Sikhi.
