Janam Sakhis were also translated into Urdu & Hindi for communities that didn't read Gurmukhi script. Like this 'Janam Sakhi Guru Nanak Shah' published in 1903 by Naval Kishore Press, Lucknow.
Many Janam Sakhis or biographies of Baba Guru Nanak based on traditional accounts were written & illustrated in manuscript form (left) & subsequently printed (right) in the 19th century. Lahore & Amritsar were major centres of publishing where many such works were circulated.

Extremely shameful on part of pakistan didn't allow the Hindu Devotees to enter Pakistan to pay obeisance. The Hindus across the world worship Guru Nanak Dev Ji & not allowing them to pay obeisance at Birth place of Guru Nanak Dev Ji should be strongly condemned

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years. That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @ZohranKMamdani's inspiring campaign. Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽
