Singh Sabha Southall was established to challenge the very serious decline in Sikhism among the Sikhs in England, who had emigrated in the fifties and early sixties. By the 1950's, a significant number of Sikhs were living in Britain, and the main Congregational gathering (sangat) was at Shepherd's Bush Gurdwara in West London. To accommodate the Southall Sikhs, the Southall Sikh Cultural Society was established in 1960.
Its principal aims of the Society were:
- To propagate the true Sikh religion and restore it’s pristine glory.
- To edit, publish and circulate historical and religious books.
- To propagate Punjabi as the medium through writings in books, magazines and newspapers.
- To encourage reform in those who had drifted away and help them return to the Sikh Panth
- To work with the authorities to ensure their support and association with the education policies of the Sabha.
This organisation held Sunday programmes at Shackleton Hall until it moved to 11 Beaconsfield Road. The emigration of Malaysian and Singaporean Sikhs led to the formation of another group - Sri Guru Nanak Singh Sabha. The two groups remained independent until (1964) when they merged as Sri Guru Singh Sabha Southall. 1964 also saw the first Gurdwara. It was situated at the Green, and was the headquarters of the Sri Guru Singh Sabha (SGSS).
In 1967, Havelock Road site was purchased (originally a dairy) after a generous loan. As a result of the relentless sewa (volunteer service) by the sangat, the dairy was transformed into the Gurdwara in a matter of weeks. The Khanda was brought in April 1967 to England from the Tosha Khana at Darbar sahib Amritsar for Amrit Parchar. .....More
