5. Source Based Questions: 5+5=10
(a)During Guru Amar Das Ji's period, the number of Sikhs increased. As a result, it became
very difficult for Guruji to deliver sermons personally to the Sikhs residing at different places
in Punjab. In order to fulfil the requirement of the Sikhs, Guru Amar Das Ji established Manji
System. He divided his spiritual realm in twenty two parts. Every part was called Manji.
Guruji appointed an influential Sikh for every Manji. The duty of the Sikh was to preach the
sermons of Gurujiin his area. He received gifts from the Sikhs which were carried to Guruji.
Because the Sikh delivered sermons while sittings on the Manji (cot) therefore it was called
Manji system. With this system, the Sikh religion spread all over the country during the times
of Guru Amar Das ji.

(b)The Sikh Misls were established gradually in accordance with the change in
circumstances. After the martyrdom of Banda Bahadur in 1716 A.D. the atrocities began to
be committed on the Sikhs. The Mughal rulers of Punjab AbdusSamad Khan, Zakariya Khan
and Yahiya Khan committed atrocities on the Sikhs. Fed up these cruelties, the Sikhs took
refuge in the hills and the jungles to save their lives. The Sikhs formed small groups (jathas)
here. These groups attacked the Mughal armies whenever they got a chance and looted the
treasury of Government and other things. In 1734 A.D. NawabKapur Singh organised groups
Buddha Dal and Taruna Dal with an objective to organize the Sikh power. Every jatha had its
own leader, a Nagara and a flag, but they ate together. After the death of Zakariya Khan, the

Sikhs organised twenty five jathas in 1745 A.D. .Gradually these jathas raised to sixty five.
With the increase in atrocities committed on the Sikhs by Mughals and the invasions of
Ahmed Shah Abdali, NawabKapur Singh realised the need of greater unity amongst the
Sikhs. Dal Khalsa was organised on the day of Baisakhi in 1748 A.D. at Amritsar to fulfill the
objective. Under the Dal Khalsa twelve jathas were organised. These were called Misls.
