I just have two questions related to this topic.

Ive heard people say that the bhudda Dal jahtidhar should be the jahatidar of Akal Takhat Sahib. examples of historical referance which are given is Akali phoola Singh. If Akal Takhat Sahib jathedhar was infact the same person as the jahatidar of Bhudda Dal, then we would only have four Singh Sahibhan. Or did the Bhudda Dal select the fifth Singh Sahiban who was apart of the Bhudda Dal? So how did it work practically because one person cannot represent two Singh Sahibhan?

How does the concept: Shiromani Panth Akali Budha Dal fit in with the concept Khalsa Panth? If one is Shiromani what about the rest of the Khalsa Panth? from first sight, it seems this name attached onto Bhudda Dal suggests a structure system within the panth.

Thanks.

Damdama Sahib is a Takhat because it was decided by the Panth as such. It used to be a major Sikh center back in 18th century. Handwritten document of Guru Gobind Singh clearly states that Damdama, Guru Ki Kanshi, is a Takhat. The document is now in possession of decendants of Bhai Dall Singh. Bhai Rattan Singh did a great job in writing Sikh history but it is not free of errors. Many of the accounts are mixed up and some things are simply false and based on hearsay. Panth has the right to make decisions and change things. More research should be done (by all of us) instead of believing whatever we find out the first time.
