Claim record · DOS-I.education

Formal education and self-taught learning

A Strongly documented Life

His formal education did not go beyond the primary stage. He was nonetheless well versed in Sikh religious and historical texts — the reference works are explicit that lack of schooling did not mean lack of learning.

This is the exact wording approved for public display. It is never strengthened beyond what the tier — Strongly documented — permits.
