Kuka(Namdhari) Movement started in the Punjab in year 1872. This movement originated mainly to seek purification of the Sikhism. Jawar Mal and Ram Singh were two leaders of this movement.

Namdhari (also known as Kukas) are a sect of Sikhism. The main difference between Namdhari Sikhs and mainstream Sikhs is their belief in Jagjit Singh as their living Guru (as opposed to the Guru Granth Sahib, the present Guru of Sikhs). Other differences include being: strict vegetarians; placing equal importance between the Guru Granth Sahib (Adi Granth) and the Dasam Granth (the holy book written by the 10th Guru, Guru Gobind Singh).

Namdhari Sikhs are also very well known in the classical musical circles, producing stellar Classical Music artists like the Grammy award winning tabla player Sukhwinder Singh
