Explanation:

Prithi Chand (1558-1618) was the eldest son of Guru Ram Das – the fourth Guru of Sikhism, and the eldest brother of Guru Arjun – the fifth Guru.[1][2] He wanted to inherit the Sikh Guruship from his father, who instead favored and appointed his youngest son the 18-year old Arjun Dev as the next Guru. Chand was embittered and notably started one of the major subsects of early Sikhism. This subsect came to be labelled as the Minas, literally "unscrupulous scoundrels", by his competition.[1][2] According to The Encyclopaedia Britannica, Prithi Chand was a Sikh rebel leader who took a "distinctly hostile view" of his brother's appointment.[3] Modern scholars have called his movement one of the unorthodox but influential sects that emerged in the history of Sikhism.[4]

Chand was an accomplished devotional poet.[4] He created a parallel scripture which included the hymns of earlier Gurus and his own. His spiritual discourses attracted a large following and the official support of the Mughal Empire. His followers gained control of the Sikh holy city of Amritsar and neighboring region, while Guru Hargobind – the sixth Guru of Sikhism, had to relocate his Guruship to the Himalayan Shivalik foothills.[5] Chand and his followers rejected Guru Arjan and Guru Hargobind as the official followers of Guru Nanak – the founder of Sikhism.[1] His poetic abilities and his distribution of hymns of Guru Nanak and those of his own, likely triggered Guru Arjan to formulate and release the official first edition of the Adi Granth.[4]

There was a bitter competition between the followers of Guru Arjan and Prithi Chand for three generations. In contemporary Sikhism, the followers and movement led by Prithi Chand are considered as "dissenters".[2] In the hagiographies and official Sikh history written by Chand's opposition, Chand is accused of attempting to poison Hargobind when he was a boy. He and his descendants – Manohar Das (Miharban) and Harji (Hariji) – are also accused of conspiring with the Muslim leaders such as Sulahi Khan to hurt and end the later Sikh Gurus, as well prevent them from entering Amritsar.[1][2][4] The Minas literature does not support these allegations, presenting Chand as a devout supporter of Guru Arjan.[4] There is likely "overt bias" against Chand in the competing biographies.[4]
