[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 189035, member: 35"] Thank you Gyani ji for this article, and your astute analysis. "CONSENSUS" in quotes - that word has been used many times, when there was hardly a consensus. A consensus implies a near total condition of agreement; this consensus came about by attrition, as committee membership changed in odd ways, giving up something more like striking a deal, and a shifting compromise at that. Ragmala is a good example of "rather than fight, have it your way on this particular issue" and a context of appeasement can be inferred from the timeline of the crafting of the SRM. On March 15, 1927 The general body of the SGPC, meeting at Akaal Takht, appoints a 29 member subcommittee. The committee is convened by then Jathedar Akaal Takht, Bhai Teja Singh. Its charge is to a: explore Sikh teachings, traditions, history and practice, and b: prepare a draft of a Code of Sikh Conduct and Conventions. April 1931 A preliminary draft is distributed and opinions solicited from the quom. October 4/5, January 3, 1932, and January 31, 1932 The subcommittee meets again. The number of members attending drops to 13 from the original 29. An additional 4 members, not part of the original committee, appear at some of these meetings. It is unclear how they were appointed. March 1, 1932 4 members are dropped from the subcommittee. These include Giani Sunder Singh who died, Baba Teja Singh who was excommuicated; Bhai Lal Singh who was denied the right to offer prayers at Akaal Takht; and Bhai Maya Singh (reasons unknown) 8 new members are appointed but only 5 are named and the others identified by titles only. May 9, 1932 10 members of the subcommittee attend the meeting. September 26, 1932 Only 9 members are present at this meeting. December 30, 1933 170 individuals attend a conclave of the global panth is convened at Akaal Takht, with SGPC president Partap Singh Shankar presiding. Only 9 are members of the original subcommittee appointed for the purpose of drafting a code of conduct. After heated discussion, and no agreement, the issue was tabled indefinitely and not taken up again until... August 1 1936 A 50-member (48 named, 2 anonymous) subcommittee of SGPC approved a draft Code of Conduct October 12 1936 SGPC ratifies the draft. The code is implemented while suggestions continue to pour in from the global sangat. February 3, 1945 The general body of the SGPC approves the document. July 7, 1945 An 8-member subcommittee refines it. Then given this history of governance it makes perfect sense that: The story is not a story of consensus. It was not scholarship that prevailed. On the other hand, it is remarkable that the Sikh Rehat Marayada is as good as it is... simple and doable. [/QUOTE]
