==Sikh book burning== In the [[Sikh]] religion, any copies of their sacred book, [[Guru Granth Sahib]], which are too badly damaged to be used, and any printer's waste which bears any of its text, are cremated. This ritual is called an ''Agan Bhet'', and it is similar to the ritual which is performed when a deceased Sikh is cremated.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.harjas.com/downloads/Press_Release_BC_Sikh_Community_March30.pdf |publisher=Harjas.com |title=Press Release BC Sikh Community |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070615224715/http://www.harjas.com/downloads/Press_Release_BC_Sikh_Community_March30.pdf |archive-date=15 June 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=2005-09-27 |title=Seva After A One-Two Hurricane Punch |url=http://www.sikhnn.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=383 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071007130434/http://www.sikhnn.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=383 |archive-date=2007-10-07 |website=Sikh News Network |publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Kaur |first=Gurmeet |title=on the Nicobar Islands after the 2004 tsunami |url=http://www.unitedsikhs.org/ghanaia/0121051.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220328065850/http://www.unitedsikhs.org/ghanaia/0121051.html |archive-date=2022-03-28 |website=GHANAIA |publisher= |at=end of the page}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mrsikhnet.com/2006/01/happiness-and-siri-guru-granth-sahib_09.html |publisher=Mrsikhnet.com |title=Blog query about an accumulation of download printouts of Sikh sacred text |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080110133818/http://www.mrsikhnet.com/2006/01/happiness-and-siri-guru-granth-sahib_09.html |archive-date=10 January 2008}}</ref>
