Introduction A person by the name of Swāmī Sādhu Shugan Chandar had spent three or four years of his life attempting to reform the Ka'isth² Hindu caste. In 1892 he came to the conclusion that unless people were gathered together under one roof, his efforts would be in vain. He therefore proposed to convene a religious conference, with the first one taking place in 1892 in Ajmer. In 1896, considering Lahore to be a suitable venue, he began preparations for the second such religious conference. Swāmī Ṣāḥib appointed a committee to oversee the arrangements. Master Durga Parshād was president of the committee, and Lālah Dhanpat Roy, BA, LLB, its chief secretary. The dates chosen for the convention were 26-28 December 1896, and the following six people were nominated as its moderators: 1. Roy Bahadur Bābū Partol Chand Ṣāḥib, Judge Chief Court, Punjab. 2. Khan Bahadur Sheikh Khuda Bakhsh Sahib, Judge Small Cause Court, Lahore. 3. Roy Bahadur Pandit Rādha³ Kishan Ṣāḥib Cole, Pleader Chief Court Lahore, former governor 2.
