Once this foundation of deception was built by the
Tat Khalsa Singh Sabhia progeny, such as the Shromani Gurdwara
Parbandak Committee (S.G.P.C.), Panch Khalsa Diwan,
Akhand Kirtani Jatha (A.K.J.), Nirankaris,
etc. modern Sikhs built their houses of falsehood upon it. These
prophets of doom, nurtured on narrow-minded puritanical Victorian
ideals established by the British Raj, began to label Guru-ordained
Sanatan Sikhism as being false.

As the Tat Khalsa Singh Sabhia movement emerged from
the womb of the ‘Malesh’ (filthy foreigner)
in 1879, it began to radically alter Sikhism as it existed so as
ensure it conformed to their new British Raj-accommodating perception.
In fact, one of the leading figures of this movement was an Irishman,
Max Arthur Macauliffe. He is regarded today by many modern Sikhs
as being a great scholar and historian.

Author of 'The Sikh Religion', and a key figure in nurturing the
Tat Khalsa Singh Sabhia form of Sikhism
In 1882, Macauliffe achieved the position of Deputy
Commissioner in Punjab. With the help of Bhai Kahn Singh
Nabha, Macauliffe wrote the popular Tat Khalsa Singh Sabhia-sanctioned
text that outlined Sikh history according to the views of the Tat
Khalsa scholars of the time. In it, he states the reasons for writing
his extensive work on the Sikhs:
‘It is admitted that a knowledge of the
religions of the people of India is a desideratum for the British
officials who administer its affairs and indirectly for the
people who are governed by them so that mutual sympathy may
be produced. It seems, at any rate politic to place before the
Sikh soldiery their Guru’s prophecies in favor of the
English and the texts of their sacred writings which foster
their loyalty.’ ‘The Sikh Religion’,1909, M.A. Macauliffe,
Preface xxii
From the above quote, it is clear that one of the
main objectives for Macauliffe was to inculcate loyalty within Sikhs
for the British Raj. At the time, the Sanatan Sikh Raj had been
displaced by the British Raj, and as such, Sanatan Sikhs, especially
the Akali Nihangs, were naturally very hostile towards the British.

Sikhs to apply their ‘divide and rule’ policy sought
to negate Sanatan Sikhism in the name of ‘reform’ (please
