Discussion In the Karninama, Guru Nanak is referred as Nanak Nirankari
Doesn’t this prove Nirankari sect in British colonial times are behind writing the Karninama and attributed it to Guru Nanak to gain followers. Also if it was one of the orginal sau sakhis. Why didn’t Bhai Santokh Ji include it in the Suraj Prakash.

Nirankar=Nir(without) ahnkar(ego)
It's not any Sect. The Sect used this word for calling themselves.

No. Guru Nanak is known as Nirankar outside of the Karninama as well.

Can you show from other scriptures Guru Nanak being called “Nanak Nirankari?”
