Arun Shourie had done some research and has a great chapter in his book 'Secular Agenda'. He notes..
<b>Granth Sahib </b>invokes the name of
Krishna over 10,000 times
Rama over 2000 times
Parabrahma 550 times
Omkar 400 times
invokes authority of Vedas, Puranas, Smritis - 350 times
Names of Nirguna Absolute - Jagdish, Nirankar, Niranjan, Atma, Paramatma, Parmeshwar, Antaryami, Kartar - are invoked 2600 times
Saguna deity - Gobind, Murari, Damodar, Vasudev, Mohan, Banwari, Madhusudan, Keshav, Chaturbhuj etc - 2000 times.
Can post a lot more, but you get the gist....
And Guru Tegh Bahadur was executed explicitly for his defence of Hindus in Kashmir, executed in company of his Hindu devotees.
