Who were Mahant
|
|
Mahant Custodian of a Gurdwara or Sikh historical place including the real estate attached to it. Mahants took care of the Sikh places during the 18th century when Sikhs moved to forests to seek safety from the government tyranny. However, the descendants of many of the mahants gave up their religious path and lead a licentious life. They were removed from the Gurdwaras during early 20th century after great sacrifices by the Sikh nation. Under the Gurdwara Act 1935, Sikhs got control of the gurdwaras
