A closer view of the Gurudwara. Because Pakistan is an Islamic Republic and Islam teaches respect for followers of all religions, Pakistan has pledged to take care of all historic sites within its territory both Muslim and non-Muslim. The Gurudwara is an example of how it has succesfully executed this trust. It recently had its marble floors restored. It does not go unused; Lahore has a small but thriving Sikh community who proudly and without fear wear their distinctive turbans around the city.
