Historical Significance:
The Jaito Morcha or Nabha agitation was a turning point in the movement not only in Gurdwara Reform but also in Sikhism and the Indian subcontinent. On February 21, 1924, the British-administered State of Nabha committed a massacre at Jaito, where innocent protestors were slaughtered on the grounds of their right to religious freedom. Such a dreadful event shocked the international community and reaffirmed the resilience of the Sikhs in the face of difficulties.

Principally, this book, which was authored by the party intimately linked with the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (S.G.P.C), provides a real and official record of the course of events.
