Resolution Passed

Resolution:

The section on a specific group of self-proclaimed ‘Sanatan Sikhs’ should be removed. These self-proclaimed ‘Sanatan Sikhs’ are a very small group and they necessarily do not represent all the so-called ‘Sanatan Sikhs’ living in India and other parts of the world. The section on AmritWorld.com should be re-written in context with wider so-called ‘Sanatan Sikh’ community. Articles related to ‘Sanatan Sikhs’ should be re-written and merged in our project “Sanatan Sikhi – Aalochnaatmak Adhiyain (Punjabi)”. The articles related to ‘Gatka’ and ‘Shastravidya’ etc should be re-written and added in our Gatka section.
