Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Feteh.
As far as I am aware the only Maryada which has been created involving the direct contribution of the Guru Khalss Panth is the Sikh Rehat Maryada. However although I have a basic working knowledge (and follow the maryada) of how the Sikh Rehat Maryada was created I have read an article which raises some important questions, which I have pasted below!
The article by Prf Devinder Singh Chahal, PHD states;
"On its first page it says: "The SGPC in its meeting of February 3, 1945 vide resolution # 97 has approved to do additions and deletions according to the recommendations of Religious Advisory Committee." It means that there were some additions and deletions, recommended by the Religious Advisory Committee, to be done. Nevertheless, it is not clear from it and elsewhere in the text, whether the recommended additions and deletions were done or not."
The above is clearly an important question. Does anyone know if any additions/deletions were made as per the above (if so which ones?)
I believe this is an important question as a factual response would strengthen peoples acceptance of the Sikh Rehat Maryada.
Below I have coped the entire article. I believe the first point really needs answering.
