Shaker in West Punjab. It includes a study of the evolution of the spiritual successor and the political and social
impact of the British policies on the workings of the Dargah. The paper also focuses on how the political changes by
the British administration caused the successors to deviate from the original practices of the Dargah that existed
before British rule. It also analyzes the development of the relationship between the successor and disciples from the
13th Century to date.
