Kalu Mehta was a Patwari; an accountant of land revenue in the government. Kalu Mehta was the father of Guru Nanak Dev, founder of Sikhism. Like most other religions, Sikhism teaches universal brotherhood and initially taught noble principles of equality of man and equal right of women in a society which was riddled with caste barriers and low standard of living for women.

Kalu Mehta is the tree from which the seeds of Sikhism emanated in the form of the first Sikh guru, Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
