The scholarly base of this research article has been based and derived by exploring some of the prominent and leading socio-religious reform movements of the Sikh community who, mainly, were deprived, backward and less in number during the British colonial period in Jammu and Kashmir. The research article throws light on some of the socio-religious movements that later became the powerhouses of political and educational transformation. The paper examines the role of these reform movements on how they reformed society by removing various gaps, and social evils, eradicating poverty, stress on education for all, women empowerment and upliftment, utilisation of contemporary or modern ways of education, adopting political participation, equality and generation of various government schemes which were helpful in terms of resource generation and making the availability of various scholarship schemes for the most deprived Sikh community students. Additionally, the paper also focuses on how these social transformation movements tried to make the minority and the unrepresented Sikh community at par with the state’s two leading religious communities, i.e., Muslims and Hindus.
