The Chief Khalsa Diwan (abbr. C.K.D.) is a Sikh organisation that is the central organization of various Singh Sabhas spread across Punjab, India.[1][2][3] Unlike the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee, the C.K.D. is an apolitical body and only concerns itself with religious, educational and cultural issues.[4] The organization originally controlled Sikh religious and educational concerns and was an advocate of Sikh political rights, though it presently is mostly limited to educational spheres.[3] It was the main council of Sikhs until the birth of more radical organizations, such as the Central Sikh League (est. 1919), the S.G.P.C. (est. 1920), and the Akali Dal (est. 1920).[3]
