=== Introduction and the spread of conversions ===

Interaction between Magadha and Sikhism goes back as far as the birth and earliest days of Sikhism itself. '''Guru Nanak Dev Ji''' himself visited '''Magadha''' and travelled through its main centres, namely '''Patna''', '''Gaya''', '''Nalanda''', and '''Rajgir'''. Later, '''Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji''', while passing through Bihar on his way further east, stopped at '''Patna''', where Sikhism's last Guru, '''Guru Gobind Singh Ji''', was born. However, it was not until the 20th century that a few '''Bhumihars''', tired of Hinduism's prevalent dogmas, found a warm refuge in the Guru's words and became Sikhs. Unfortunately, this phenomenon was limited to only a handful of villages in '''Patna district''', just a few kilometres outside the city of Patna.
