Following the 5th Congress of Kendriya Samaj in 2010, a Sanat awareness movement once again emerged within the community. At the central general meeting in Nakhtrana, when the Dakshin Bharat Satpanth Samaj announced their contribution towards the expenses of the conference, Sanat leaders from the Dakshin Bharat Samaj present were taken aback.

In 2011, the youth community in South India took a vow to support Sanat and began efforts to remove pro-Satpanth officials from their respective youth organizations. However, the task was difficult without the support and concrete steps taken by the elders of the society.

The elders who strongly believed in the Sanat ideologies and values of the society gradually started to participate. During the executive meeting, the Sanat flag was observed in four zones – Madurai, Chidambaram, Chennai, and Namakkal – that fell under the South India zone.

In accordance with the new policy rules implemented in other Indian zones, there was a demand for new rules in the South Indian society. At the 2012 executive meeting held in Kumbakonam, a “Letter of Support” for the new rules of the South Indian Society was presented, along with a letter of approval from the village where Kutch was a native. Despite strong opposition, the then President Mr. Chunilal Chopra and other Sanat members tried tirelessly to convince those present. However, all people associated with the Satpanth, including the General Secretary of the South Bharat Samaj, Karshanbhai Rangani, boycotted the meeting and left. At the Annual General Meeting, the Dakshin Bharat Samaj was unanimously named “Shri Dakshin Bharat Kutch Kadwa Patidar Sanatan Samaj”.

During a time when bitter divisions between Patidar societies were prevalent across India, South India saw the formation of two societies – Satpanth and Sanatan. The members of the Sanatan society in South India were required to provide proof of their membership, which was validated through letters of support from skeptical members. Those who successfully completed these requirements and remained members of the Dakshin Bharat Sanatan Samaj were asked to provide additional examples of their villages. Those who did not complete the requirements remained members of the Satapant society in South India.

Afterwards, specific rules were implemented. Satapanthi families were disinvited from family and social events and excluded from business partnerships. The primary objective of these rules was to ensure that our own brotherhood would reintegrate with the eternal stream. Although there were some minor conflicts from time to time, everything eventually settled down and became peaceful.

Since 2017, a number of families have left Satpanth Samaj and joined Sanatan Samaj. This trend has been gradually increasing over time. The Mowdi Mandal of the Sanatan Samaj has demanded that all members of Satpanth Samaj switch to the Sanatan group as well. However, some members of the Sanatan group have suggested that there should be a waiting period for families who are staunch Satpantis. Despite this suggestion, the leading team has not allowed it, leading to extreme friction between the two groups. As a result, prominent Sanat elders from South India have asked the Center to mediate the matter. 

During the mediation process, a total of five members attended including the then Kendriya Samaj President, Vice President, and Yuva Sangh President. Persuasive talks were held to resolve the issue and prevent any violent confrontations within the Sanat society. It was agreed upon that members who wish to join the Sanatan Samaj should not be prevented from leaving the Satpanth Samaj. All members present appreciated this decision.

During the executive meeting that followed, a conclusive decision was made to include families who had signed the endorsement letter with a 100 rupee stamp paper, presented a Kutch Samaj example, and paid the required fee during the annual meeting in Chennai in 2020.

It was decided that any family found violating the rules mentioned in the endorsement letter would be immediately dismissed from the Dakshin Bharat Samaj membership. Additionally, a crucial decision was made to prevent newly joined members from holding any position in social organizations such as Dakshin Bharat Zone, Ghatak Samaj, Dakshin Bharat Yuva Sangh, Yuva Mandal, and Mahila Mandal for the next six years, starting from 2020.

At the Pongal Annual General Meeting held in Chennai on January 14, 2020, 140 families joined the Sanatan Samaj and pledged to abide by its rules.

To ensure strict compliance with the rules, members were appointed from the constituent zone society. A committee was formed, and its members are responsible for informing the South India society with proof of any rule violations over the next six years. If any violations occur, necessary action will be taken against the family of the violator. A resolution was passed for South India Zone A to enforce this process.

Presently, all except for approximately 15 to 17 families in the South India zone have left Satpanth and become Sanatani.
