Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gurdwara Reform Movement and the Sikh Awakening
Daily prayer oi the Sikhs along with the ten Gurus. All religious and social ceremonies of the Sikhs, from birth to death, must be per formed in''the presence of the Holy Book and often within the precincts of the Gurdwaras. Wherever the Sikhs have gone, they have carried with them a passionate longing for the freedom of their Gurdwaras, and, it is no exaggeration to say that, the control of the Golden Temple and other principal places of worship by the Panth as a whole has always been looked upon as a measure of their religious, social and''even political liberties.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.
In the rapid march of ivents all over the country during the past Iwo years, nowhere has Mahatma Gandhis Lon-violent non-co-operation been so completely vindicated as at Tarn Taran, Nankana Sahib and Gum-ka-bagh by the calm and cool courage, and the patient, and even cheerful, sufferings of the Akalis in the face of cruelties, inhumanities and death. The story of the ecent remarkable awakening among the likhs, their struggles for the freedom and )urification of their historical places of worship, their disappointments and triumphs, will, I am Bure, be read everywhere with absorbing interest. As an eye-witness of some of the thrilling, if tragic, incidents narrated by the author, I cannot help remarking that the simple rustics, who mainly composed the Akali Jathas, appeared to us as the heroes of a twentieth century Epic which was being enacted before our very eyes. I hope it will not be long before the story of their heroism, inspired by a sublime idealism, is immortalised in verse by a poet of eminence.
