Master Tara Singh Emerges as the Foremost Sikh Leader
View through CrossRef
The Akalis joined the civil disobedience movement, and Master Tara Singh was arrested while leading an Akali jathā to Peshawar and sent to jail. The Communal Award of August 1932 recommended statutory Muslim majority in the Punjab Legislative Assembly. The leaders of Sikh parties formed the Khalsa Darbar to resist implementation of the Award. But the Akali leadership was soon divided. Master Tara Singh’s agitation against the Maharaja of Patiala in 1935 led to a compromise. Master Tara Singh took a firm stand against the Muslim leaders of the Shahidganj agitation. In 1936, he took serious interest in the Dalits of the south. Though unhappy with the neutrality of the Congress towards the Communal Award, he was willing to align with the Congress for the forthcoming elections of 1937.
