The Guru Ka Bagh Morcha (1922) was pivotal in Sikh history. It showcased the indomitable spirit of the Sikh community in its pursuit of protecting its heritage and reclaiming control over its sacred spaces. This significant chapter demonstrated the relentless quest for autonomy and identity set against the backdrop of British colonial rule. The Morcha highlighted the power of nonviolent resistance as the Sikhs confronted the exploitation of gurdwaras (Sikh community spaces for reflection and activism) by mahants who prioritized personal gain over community welfare.
As we approached the 100th anniversary of the Guru Ka Bagh Morcha in 2025, we launched this educational resource in remembrance of the Sikhs who stood firm in their faith and resistance. By providing insight into the Morcha’s historical significance and contemporary relevance, the resource ensured that its legacy and lessons would continue to inspire future generations.
In August 2025, we launched our K–12 Gurmat Education Resource — Getting to Know Guru Ka Bagh Morcha — designed for middle and high school students.
