Kartarpur, about 118 kilometers (73 miles) from Lahore in Narowal district, lies on the banks of the Ravi River. It is where Guru Nanak, the founder of the 5th largest religion of the world, Sikhism, lived for 18 years before he died there in 1539. Guru Nanak's philosophy (developed & disseminated here) formed the basis of Sikhism, focusing on equality and service to others. The Sikhs all over the world come to Nankana Sahib (Pakistan) to celebrate Guru Nanak Gurpurab1 . Last year on November 9, 2019, Pakistan has opened the visa-free corridor on 550th birthday of the founder of Sikhism, allowing the Sikh pilgrims to travel between Dera Baba Nanak on Indian side (Gurdaspur) and the Sri Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara (Kartarpur) on Pakistani side. The Kartarpur Corridor carries greater significance in the backdrop of Pakistan India relations. It is widely hoped that the good-will gesture and people to people contact ultimately would positively lead to better diplomatic relations and economic ties between the borders. This article particularly draws attention towards the emblematic significance of the corridor how it reimagines the relationship with Sikh heritage in the offing of the religious diplomacy of inclusive Pakistan. The paper leaves few questions to be answered by future researchers. It concludes that this initiative is a milestone in the elevation of interfaith harmony and a step towards regional peace.
