Akali Movement

The Akali Movement was a reform movement that emerged in the early 20th century among Sikhs in British India, aimed at preserving Sikh identity and benefiting the community. It sought to combat the influence of corrupt practices in gurdwaras (Sikh temples) and promote Sikh rights. The movement, led by the Akali Dal party, organized protests and campaigns for the control of gurdwaras and the revival of Sikh teachings. The movement played a significant role in the political awakening of Sikhs, contributing to the broader struggle for independence from British rule.
