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.” 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 (10[1])this action as part of a purge of Hindu concepts in response to the conversion (-5[2])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 (-5[1])reason women historically titled (10[1])Devi or Singhni take this action upon taking the amrit. For 10 points, describe this action involving a title meaning “princess” that Sikh women may take upon initiation to the Khalsa. ■END■ (10[1]0[2])
