Why India’s biggest elected Sikh body has not held polls since 2011?
- The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee SGPC has not held elections since 2011, leaving the same members in place.
- A major dispute began after Haryana formed its own Sikh gurdwara body in 2014, creating questions over control and voters.
- Legal cases in the Supreme Court and Punjab and Haryana High Court have delayed finalising the voter lists.
- The long delay has raised concerns about representation, accountability and the democratic functioning of the SGPC.
