Singh Sabha Movement

The Singh Sabha Movement was a reformist movement among Sikhs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, aimed at revitalizing Sikhism. It emerged in response to social and religious challenges, including the influence of British colonialism and the rise of other religious groups. Key goals included promoting education, correcting misconceptions about Sikh practices, and encouraging a return to the original teachings of Sikh Gurus. The movement led to the establishment of educational institutions, publications, and an emphasis on Sikh identity, reinforcing community pride and cohesion. Ultimately, it laid the groundwork for modern Sikh identity and activism.
