<br/><br/> First it was the British who aimed to create a distinct Sikh identity, while the Singh Sabha movement sought to create sikh `Khalsa' identity by distinguishing it from Hindu. The Sikh political leadership in the early years of the 20th century was ambivalent in deciding who was a `Sikh'. It was Bhindranwala and the militants in his wake, who by their construction of a singular religious identity, attempted to transform a heterogeneous Sikh community into a `congregation'. While the latter project failed, the ambivalence of identity, however, continues in the policies of the Akali Party. - Reproduced.
