Explanation:
The Sikhs organised themselves into a no.of bands called jathas or misls.
Their combined forces were known as the grand army (dal Khalsa).
The entire body used to meet at Amritsar at the time of Baisakhi and Diwali to take collective decisions known as "resolutions of the Guru (gurumathas).
A system called Rakhi was introduced, offering protection to cultivations on the payment of a tax of 20% of the produce.
Guru Gobind Singh had inspired the Khalsa with the belief of that their destiny was to rule (Raj karega Khalsa)..
