...overstating the inevitability of Sikh, Hindu antagonism, then, Western observers have misrepresented the true nature of the Golden Temple controversy. The conflict was not simply one of conflicting groups, but of a radical seet of Sikhs committed to violence. The Sikhs who had been using the temple as their base were gathered under the fanatical but charismatic Bhindranwale, an extremist leader who was killed in the Golden Temple fighting. His Khomeini-like messianic appeal included public speeches glorifying violent means aimed at acquiring a separate Sikh nation. "It should be clear to all Sikhs...that we are slaves and want...

Almost all of the Protestant seets which do not belong to some other similar seet are members. The Council is part of a much larger Federal Council, and is itself the unofficial headquarters for several smaller municipal organizations.
