Ram Raiye is a sect whose followers follow Baba Ram Rai (1646-87), who was the elder son of Guru Har Rai. Ram Rai misinterpreted Gurbani of Nanak before Aurangzeb to make his friendly bond more strong by pleasing him. His mis-interpretation leads to his ex-communication. Guru har rai ji stopped speaking to his son and never met him again, even Guru Harkrishen never talked with his brother.

Excommunication of Ram Rai

Aurangzeb realized that he could not bring Guru Har Rai Ji to Delhi with force. He then asked one of his ministers, Shiv Dayal, who was a devotee of the Guru to convince the Guru to come and talk to Aurangzeb. When Shiv Dayal made his request, the Guru said that he would not go, but would send his eldest son. The Guru told his 11 year old son, Baba Ram Rai to go and meet Aurangzeb.

Baba Ram Rai reached Delhi and went to Aurangzeb’s court. One day Aurangzeb said that Guru Nanak has insulted the Mulslim faith in one of his verses. Baba Ram Rai then manipulated the verse and gave wrong meanings of it just to make Aurangzeb happy.

When the Guru heard about this, he sent a letter to Baba Ram Rai which said, “Do not ever show me your face again. You have abandoned the truth for the sake of false respect.”

From that day on, the Guru did not speak to his own son Ram Rai and ordered all Sikhs to stay away from him.

In Falicity, Aurangzeb donated him land in doon valley. Aurangzeb gave Ram Rai a jagir of four villages in the Doon area as a reward. He died there in sunmat 1788. Because of Ram Rai's Dehra, Duun came to be popularly known as Dehradun.
