Anti Dasam Bani MovementPa: ਦਸਮ ਵਿਰੋਧੀ ਆਂਦੋਲਨ), an active and rigid movement by few people against all Banis of Dasam Granth. This Movement was revived by Teja Singh Bhasod in early 20th Century. It's aim is to abuse and remove the scripture and all banis out from Sikh Institution. Protesters refused to use these Banis in daily liturgy and even prepared their new Khande Batey Di Pahul, which included two Banis of Guru Granth Sahib only.

Ram Rayias rejection of Guru Gobind Singh writings

As per records, Ram Rayias were first who had hatered for Guru Gobind Singh, his compositions.

In Paayal Pur Ghudarni village, when Ragi Bulaki Singh read rehraas in sangat and read Chopai bani of tenth guru then Ram Raiyas abused him and Guru Gobind Singh and beat him too. Moreover they break musical instrument(saranda) he had with him. When Khalsa and Banda Singh Bahadur know this they went to Paayal Pur Ghudarni Village. Khalsa and Banda Singh Bahadur punished Ram Raiyas for their act. [1]

Khalsa always regard Guru Gobind Singh's Bani and added it to daily liturgy.

Reviving of this movement

Early books were written against Dasam Granth were Dasam Granth Saar - Teja Singh Bhasod(1906), Dasam Granth Nirney - Bhasod Rann Singh(1919), Bhasod Samsher Singh Ashok writings(1930 - 1965), Missionary Harnam Singh Balabh writings(around 1960), Bhasod Lal Singh Writings(around 1959), Dasam granth Kirtitav - Ratan Singh Jaggi(1965), Dasam Granth Nirney - Gyani Bhag Singh Ambala(1975) etc. In late 20th and 21st century, this movement has spread around through seminars Seminars, books, pamphlets, newspapers, radios and world wide web. Slowly few members of this movement attacked on many histories and few banis of Guru Granth Sahib too.

Mainstream Sikhs Scholars tried and are trying to suppress this movement, in parallel, by answering all questions like Giani Ditt Singh's Writings(1901), Dr. Jaswant Singh, Sher Singh Kashmir, Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha, Bhai Veer Singh, Bhai Randhir Singh, Sardar Kapur Singh, Professor Sahib Singh, Dr. Trilochan Singh etc. Presently, All Sikh Institutions are publishing various articles in their magazines to suppress this Movement but no official discussions(High Authority of Sikhs) held till, yet, which led to continuation of this movement at small level.

Mostly protesters of this movement are excommunicated from Mainstream Sikhs and few youths which are emotionally motivated. Presently, Notable Protesters are Professer Darshan Singh(Ex-Jathedar) and Harjinder Singh Dilgeer(Sikh Historian).
