Gur Shiromani and Gur-history should be correctly printed on paper of
superior quality and made available to the Sangat at cost price for
propagation of Sikh religion and teachings of the Sikh Gurus”. 100 The
resolution was endorsed by S. Gurdit Singh Jhang. After some discussion
another resolution came up after S. Fumman Singh’s proposal and Giani
Dhanwant Singh’s endorsement that the Committee should get written the
history of the Gurdwara Reform Movement afresh. At S. Amar Singh’s
recommendation it was decided to entrust this work to Sri Darbar Sahib
Committee for necessary action. 101 Giani Kartar Singh told the house that
due to paucity of funds, SGPC could not for some time undertake that work.
Therefore, this resolution should be forwarded to Sri Darbar Sahib
Committee after recommendation. Sri Darbar Sahib Committee had already
reserved some funds for the purpose so it was unanimously resolved that the
resolution was forwarded to Sri Darbar Sahib Committee. 102
He further said with emphasis that the following things should also be
incorporated in the programme: 103 (i) The same Rauh Reet should be
observed in all the gurdwaras; (ii) The historical gurdwaras where Sangats
were in small number should be properly looked after; (iii) The history of
each gurdwara should be got written and printed so that the visitors could get
full information about the concerned gurdwara; and (iv) Pucca roads should
be constructed up to Sri Anandpur Sahib.
