Good article. But you missed to mention that SGPC glorifies terrorists like Bhindrawala and has put up portraits of him and others in Sikh museum. SGPC has brought defamation to Sikhs by doing this. Also, why SGPC allowed hijack of Harmandir Sahab by terrorists. There are hundreds of issues with SGPC, the biggest one being that it is far from Gurus’ messages in SGGS.
The idea is to heal and reform – otherwise, one would also have to go into the gory details of Operation Blue Star and the destruction of Sri Akal Takht. Was that level of brute force required?
Thanks, healing and reforming should begin with SGPC introspecting into its charter and ensuring compliance with it. They have taken panth far away from where our Gurus wanted it to be. If they keep Sikh vs Hindu, Punjab vs India positions, Akali vs Non Akali Sikhs, no reforms and healing is possible. Most of the Sikhs don’t trust SGPC anyway. Except for good management of Gurudwara (benchmark being Hindu temple management), SGPC does no other good work.
