Can someone explain to me why the clamour for these people to get onto these management committees in India? I'm guessing it's money, but why is it such a big deal, when it should be a private and contained matter within the Sikh religious community?

Same old same old,

Money-Power-Fame

Dsgmc is the second richest Gurdwara Committee in the world after Sgpc.

As per Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Act,1971 elections are to be held every four years, organised by Delhi govt.

Prominent Sikh groups have backing of National parties like Bjp, Congress, Aap so it is NOT a private, community or low key affair.

I hope that whichever group Parmjit Singh Rana belongs to gets in. I don't know much about any of the others, but Rana Sahib has done a lot to counter the mischief caused by Sarna and his missionary group. No more dhundas and jachaks.

Paramjit Singh Rana has done a lot to get kathavachaks like Bhai Banta Singh doing more katha of Dasam Patshah's Granth Sahib in Delhi gurdwaras.
