Jhatka Parkash (Punjabi: ਝਟਕਾ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼),also called Jhatka Parkash Granth, is a book written by Giani Niranjan Singh Saral, a leading preacher of the SGPC, concerning historical, philosophical, etymological and theological aspects of Jhatka and Meat eating in Sikh Religion.[1][2]
This text was written in response to Randhir Singh's writing[3] Jhatke Prithaye Tat Gurmat Nirney, which harshly demotes Jhatka practice in Sikhs. Niranjan Singh addresses the root of every question and doubt raised against Jhatka and answered accordingly. The book was published in 1966 and was republished in 2008.
Following are various topics covered in this text:[4]
The book was criticized by Bhai Randhir Singh followers[5] known as Akhand Kirtani Jatha. As per Niranjan Singh, he was threaten by Jatha members and also efforts were taken to remove this book from all libraries and book shops limiting its existence.
Kehar Singh Nihang, Budha Dal appreciated Saral for his work. He wished this book to reach among Sikhs so that they could clarify difference between Jhatka and Kutha and know about historicity of Jhatka and Meat in Sikh religion.[6]
