Evolution of McAuliffe Sikhs and Rise of Bhagwant Mann | Puneet Sahani and Sanjay Dixit
from The Jaipur Dialogues Podcasts · host The Jaipur Dialogues
Today's dominant strand of Sikhi as represented by SGPC bears very little resemblance to the Sikhi at the time of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The overarching umbrella of Sikh panth has been taken over by a small aggressive section, a part of which even harbours separatism. At the time of elections, they call the wider body as Sikh, and then revert to just the keshdharis. Puneet Singh Sahani goes into the historical background and looks at the decline of the Akalis and rise of AAP.
