With reference to the Akali movement, consider the following statements:
1. The main objective of the movement was to reform the Sikh religion and clean it from the influence of Hinduism.
2. The Shiromani Akali Dal was the central body that organised the movement and accepted non-violence as the soul of the movement.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Ans B
The Akali movement developed on a purely religious issue but ended up as a powerful episode of India’s freedom struggle. From 1920-1925, more than 30,000 men and women underwent imprisonment, nearly 400 died and over 2,000 were wounded. The movement arose with the objective of freeing the Gurdwaras (Sikh temples) from the control of ignorant and corrupt mahants (priests). To control and manage the Golden Temple, the Akal Takht and other Gurdwaras, a representative assembly of nearly 10,000 reformers met in November 1920 and elected a committee of 175 to be known as the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabhandak Committee (SGPC). At the same time, the need was felt for a central body which would organise the struggle on a more systematic basis. The Shiromani Akali Dal was established in December for this purpose. It was to be the chief organiser of the Akali jathos, whose backbone was provided by Jat peasantry while their leadership was in the hands of the nationalist intellectuals. Under the influence of the contemporary non-cooperation movement-and many of the leaders were common to both the movements-the Akali Dal and the SGPC accepted non-violence as their creed.

2. The Nirankari Movement insisted on the worship of formless God.
3. The Namdhari Movement followers wore white clothes and practiced vegetarianism.
Select the correct answer using the codes below.
Correct
Ans D
After the fall of kingdom of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, there were several attempts to raise the old glory of the Khalsa. Several movements to reform Sikhism were started.
First one being the Namdhari movement, which was started by Baba Ram Singh Namdhari after the Anglo-Sikh wars. He was a soldier in Khalsa army.
Like the Nirankari, this second reform movement known as the Namdhari, or Kuka, movement also had its origin in the north- west corner of the Sikh kingdom, away from the places of royal pomp and grandeur. It harked back to a way of life more in keeping with the spiritual tradition of the community. Its principal object was to spread the true. spirit of Sikhism shorn of tawdry customs and mannerism, which had been growing on it since the beginning of Sikh monarchy.
In the midst of national pride born of military glory and political power, this movement extolled the religious obligation for a pious and simple living. They were called Kukas’ because of their peculiar style they used in reciting Gurbani (Sayings of the Gurus). This style was in a high pitched voice, called Kook in punjabi, and thus Namdhari Khalsa’s were named Kukas.
