The instability in Sikh politics and the management of core Sikh institutions has increased following the decisions made on December 2, 2024, from Akal Takht Sahib. The Jathedars who made and announced these decisions have been unilaterally removed from their positions by the SGPC, which then made new unilateral appointments. This situation is heading towards significant disarray and chaos, which benefits the Indian state and the ruling BJP, but is detrimental to the Sikh community.
