==History==<br />
The newspaper was published with effect from 13 June 1886 through the efforts of Bhai Gurmukh Singh from Lahore.<ref name="Singh"/> It was a weekly [[newspaper]] of the Khalsa Diwan society being published in [[Lithography]] and in [[Gurmukhi script]]. Its first two editors were Giani Jhanda Singh [[Faridkot, Punjab|Faridkot]] and Sardar Basant Singh. Later on, it was handed over to [[Giani Ditt Singh]]. The newspaper continued to be published until 1889. After this its publication stopped for sometime due to a legal suit filed by the [[Amritsar]]i party regarding the publication of a play called ''Swapan''.<ref>[http://www.sikh-history.com/sikhhist/personalities/literature/dittsingh.html Biography of Giani Ditt Singh] sikh-history.com</ref><ref>[http://www.esikhs.com/articles/giani_ditt_singh.htm Giani Ditt Singh Biography]</ref><br />

It resumed publication again on 1 May 1893 with [[Giani Ditt Singh]] as its editor. An experienced scholar and an expert in debates and discussions, he entered into many heated debates with representatives of [[Arya Samaj]].<br />
