[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 147930, member: 189"] As far as I know this Proviso in the Sikh Rehat Maryada mentions the formation of a "Dharam Parchaar committee"..a sub-committee within the SGPC and under its control..which is authorised by this proviso to look at and into any suggestions, amendments, etc..and "accept" these/"reject" these as and when the situation warrants. Meaning the Founding fathers of this SRM Document saw and realised the need for future changes/amendments etc as and when these arose..the DPC would eb in place to sit and debate them and recommend to the Genral house of the SGPC. I take it to mean this is an attempt to provide a built-in Future proof provisio...( I wonder why and how senior academicians like Prof chahal failed to see this Proviso in this light and argue they cant see where and when "amendments/suggetsions" were made/accpeted/rejected. 2. BUT soon after the SRM was drafted and put into place...the world as a whole and the Sikhs in particular were thrown into a tumultous whirlwind situation..War broke out and the entire world was in chaos...the REST of the world came to soem sort of peace and tranquility when the war finally ended in 1945..BUT for the SIKHS an even owrse scenario was at hand...the PARTITION in 1947, resulting in the UPROOTING of HALF the Sikh Population, econnomic ruin of an entire community, LOSS of over HALF the Lands, Villages, Economy, and even more importantly the GURDWARAS of pakistan was a Back breaking blow to the SIKHS. 50% of Sikhs as economic REFUGEES with just the clothes on their backs, having left vast fertile lands back in Pakistan...Indian Punjab also in turmoil reeling form bloo.dy communal violence, and loss of very INFLUENTIAL and SINGH SABHA SIKHS and Sikh Organsiations like the Lahore Singh Sabha, Rawalpindi Sikhs, (Baba Dyal of the Nirankari Mission precussor to the Singh Sabha Movement was based in Rawlapindi area which was now lost to the Sikhs...)....and almost IMMEDIATELY the NEHRU ADMINISTRATION began a fresh persecution of the SIKHS....calling them renegades, criminals who shoudl be "watched"....the Long struggle for PUNJABI SPEAKING STATE when 56,000 Sikhs were arrested and put in Prisons, suffered ehavy fines, confiscation of properties etc etc just for declaring the slogan Punjabi Suba Zindabad...12,000 Sikhs peacefully marching in new Delhi were lathicharged by Nehrus Police in 1960...and while the SIKHS were ( as usual) Fighting these POLITICAL BATTLES to safeguard their language/religion/society in Independent India...the RSS and the Bipparwadees DERAWAAD Nirmalas Udasis etc etc were slowly but surely INVADING via "trojan Horse" into the HEARTLAND of Sikhism..into the Sharomani Aklali dal Via Badal, SGPC..Takhats....and then the OPS Bluestar and 1984..and almost half the YOUTH of Sikhism was wiped out....and when the Sikhs awoke..the SGPC takhats etc are solidly in RSS Backpocket ( RSS Chief Sudarshans public media statement that the RSS pays all Takhat jathedars - a statement never REFUTED by the sgpc or the takhat jathedars). Badal has amended the Constitution of the Akali dal SAD to become a PUNJABI PARTY and no more a SIKH Party....and 90% of sgpc members are DERA supporters..incluidng past President Jagir Kaur who has a Personal DERA in begowal !! 3.
