The SGPC and other Sikh organisations will commemorate 150 years of the historic ‘Singh Sabha Lehar’ (movement) this year.

The movement is considered immensely successful in preventing conversion attempts to other religions in the 1870s. SGPC general secretary Gurcharan Grewal, who is heading a sub-committee to plan the events in connection with the anniversary, said the movement had brought religious, cultural and educational reforms in the Sikh society.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
