		Akal Takht was again the venue of the sarbatt khalsa on Baisakhi day, 10 April 1763, when through gurmata it was decided to go out to the help of a Brahman who had brought the complaint that his wife had been forcibly abducted by the Afghan chief of Kasur.

	Akal Takhat - SikhiWiki, free Sikh encyclopedia.
		Akal Takhat (Punjabi: ਅਕਾਲ ਤਖ਼ਤ, Akāl Taḵẖt) means the Throne of the Immortal and is the highest political institution of the Sikhs.
		The Akal Takhat was founded by Guru Hargobind on June 15, 1606 (now celebrated on 2 July) and was established as the place from which the spiritual and temporal concerns of the Sikh community could be acted upon.
		Today’s Akal Takhat is a large 5-storey modern structure (3 storeys were added by Maharaja Ranjit Singh) with inlaid marble and a gold-leafed dome, that does not convey the design of Guru Hargobind’s simple Takht or plinth.

	Sovereignty of the Akal Takht
		The history of Sri Akal Takht is well known for its controversial ambiguities rather than for clarity and continuity of religious tradition in Sikhism.
		The SGPC in turn appoints the Jathedar, that is, the custodian of the Sri Akal Takht Sahib, as an employee, thus unwittingly eroding the authority of Sarbat Khalsa and sovereignty of Akal Takht..
		The Akal Takht is a symbol of the sovereignty of Guru Granth and Guru Panth acting through the Sarbat Khalsa and expressed through the institution of the Akal Takht.

		The Darbar Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple, is a temple of song, peace and love; it is the sovereign seat of the Almighty and it is the perch for prayer and appeal for the needy, the weak and the oppressed.

		The Sikhs face a big threat to their sovereignty - the jurisdiction of the Sri Harimandir Sahib and Akal Takht is to be formally conceded over to the jurisdiction of the Indian Government, if this 'behind the scenes stealth' move is allowed to go through.

		In the past the Sikhs have walked into many situations without examining the implications of the documents they agree to for spurious and small promises, only to later regret when grave consequences of their decisions are presented to them.
