Impact

The 1971 act, more stringent than the 1925 act, required that any Sikhs voting for the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee be baptized Sikhs ( amritdhari ). [1] It was inspired from the 'Delhi Sikh Gurudwara and Religious Endowments Bill' proposed by Sir Sobha Singh, who was the brainchild of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee. [2] The legislation thus excluded from voting those Sikhs with shorn hair, [3] and the Sahajdhari, persons who generally follow the Sikh lifestyle but are not initiated into the religion.
