Question

One reform movement named for being “pure” disregarded a command in the Prem Sumarag to popularize this action. Only some Khatri men and women performed this action during the eighteenth century while most Jat women did as part of a process of “rajputization.” (-5[1])This action was posthumously applied to Sahib Devan in a tract titled “We are Not Hindus” during a period named for an “assembly” of men who took a similar action. Mata (*) Sundari’s followers popularized this action as part of a purge of Hindu concepts in response to the conversion efforts of the Arya Samaj. The Tat Khalsa and Sigh Saba were key to popularizing this action, whose implied rejection of caste is part of the reason (-5[1])women historically titled Devi or Singhni take this action upon taking the (10[1])amrit. For 10 points, describe this action involving a title meaning “princess” that Sikh women may take upon initiation to the Khalsa. ■END■ (0[2])
