Maharashtra Governor Demands Guru Tegh Bahadur Chair in Universities

Some important people in India held a special meeting to remember a very brave man named Guru Tegh Bahadur, who lived more than 350 years ago.

He is famous for standing up for the right of every person to follow their own religion without fear.

The governor of Maharashtra said the Guru was like a lighthouse, guiding people toward freedom, kindness, and peace.

He asked universities in the state to create a special study program, called a chair, named after the Guru.

That way, students can keep learning about the Guru's message of courage and caring.

The meeting happened in a city called Navi Mumbai and was organized with help from the government and cultural groups.

The culture minister said India is hosting many events this year in the Guru's honor.

Everyone agreed that the Guru's teachings can help people feel strong and kind even today.
