sarbat khalsa ("entire khalsa"; punjabi: ), was a biannual deliberative assembly (on the same lines as a parliament in a direct democracy) of the sikhs held at amritsar in panjab during the 18th century. it literally translates to the "entire sikh nation" but as a political institution it refers to the meetings of the dal khalsa, sikh misls, and the legislature of the sikh empire.the first sarbat khalsa was called by the tenth guru, guru gobind singh before his death in 1708 and the tradition of calling sarbat khalsa has continued ever since at times of hardship or conflict. after the demolition of the mahant system by the khalsa panth, s. kartar singh jhabbar called the sarbat khalsa in 1920. he was not the jathedar of sri akaal takhat sahib but a sikh leader. in the resolution of that sarbat khalsa, teja singh bhuchhar was announced as the jathedar of sri akaal takhat sahib. next known meeting of the sarbat khalsa took place on the occasion of divali in 1723 when a clash between tat khalsa and the bandais (owing fealty to banda singh bahadur) was averted and amicably settled through the intervention and wise counsel of bhai mani singh.
