The Akali movement (IPA: ; known in Punjabi as the Ākali Morcha), also called the Gurdwara Reform Movement, was a set of campaigns to bring reform in the gurdwaras (the Sikh places of worship) in India during the early 1920s. The movement led to the introduction of the Sikh Gurdwara Bill in 1925, which placed all the historical Sikh shrines in India under the control of Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).
