Introduction A person by the name of Swami Sadhu Shugan Chandar had spent three or four years of his life attempting to reform the Kā'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. Swami Sahib appointed committee to oversee the arrangements. Master Durga Parshad was president of the committee, and Lalah 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 Sahib, Judge Chief Court, Punjab. 2. Khan Bahadur Sheikh Khudā Bakhsh Sahib, Judge Small Cause Court, Lahore. 3. Roy Bahadur Pandit Radha Kishan Şahib Cole, Pleader Chief Court Lahore, former governor 2.
