End of Road for Nanakshahi Calendar, Virtually, by Perneet Singh for the Tribune News Service, published in The Tribune in 2015, is a newspaper report on the effective abandonment of the Nanakshahi Sikh calendar reform amid internal Sikh institutional disagreement over its adoption. As contemporary journalism rather than scholarly analysis, its authority rests on the Tribune's standing as an established Indian regional newspaper and its direct reporting on the institutional dispute as it was unfolding. Its limit is that it is a news report describing a contested and evolving institutional situation at one point in time rather than a scholarly history of the calendar reform's origins and theology, which a dedicated academic or Sikh institutional source addresses on different terms.
