💨 Abstract

Satguru Ram Singh Ji, a 19th-century Sikh leader, established the Namdhari or Kuka movement and was a pioneering social reformer. He introduced the Anand Karaj ceremony, a simplified, inexpensive Sikh marriage ritual, and set the minimum marriage age at 16 for girls and 18 for boys, challenging child marriage and other regressive customs.
