Khalsa Samachar

Serving the Panth since 17th November, 1899

17th November, 1899, Bhai Sahib brought out the first issue of the weekly Khalsa Samachar, which besides Panthic news, contained valuable information about the tenets of the Sikh faith, elucidation of Gurbani, and imparting teaching of the faith in a big way.

He continued this paper till the last breath of his life and it was apparent that his pen brought in the community such an awakening and created awareness which he had imagined at the time of launching this laudable endeavour.

He always suffered financial loss in bringing out this paper but expressed his joy at the success of the paper and continued the paper in high spirits.

This paper has now completed 125 years of its life. This weekly newspaper is treading the path shown by Bhai Vir Singh Ji and serving the Panth.

History & Editorial Journey

Bhai Sahib edited it for the first fourteen or fifteen years. In 1914, Bhai Sewa Singh joined him and he passed on this responsibility to him. But he kept a watchful eye on the fulfillment of the aims and objects with which the paper had been started.

When Bhai Sewa Singh got ill in 1944 and passed away, he entrusted this service to Giani Maha Singh who rendered it for twenty nine years under his guidance. From July 1973, Sardar S.S. Amol undertook this responsibility for about three years and then S. Manjit Singh took over.

The paper was originally published from Amritsar. In December 1990, this weekly newspaper was shifted to Delhi and published by Bhai Vir Singh Sahitya Sadan under the editorship of Dr. Mohinder Singh. For a brief while, from January 2012 to June 2015, Dr. J.S. Neki steered Khalsa Samachar. Since then, Dr. Mohinder Singh has been editing the newspaper under his competent guidance.

May this paper continue to serve the Panth as envisioned by Bhai Sahib!
