After the fifth convention of Central Samaj in 2010, the movement of Sanatani awakening had awakened once again in the caste. When the contribution of South India Satpanth Samaj was registered and declared in the Central General Assembly at Nakhatrana to meet the expenses of this convention, the Sanatani leaders of South India Samaj present there were shocked.

In the year 2011, the youth of South India Zone Samaj, taking the vow of Sanatani, were engaged in efforts to make the Satpanth-leaning office bearers resign from the youth group of every society. But, until the elders of the society take concrete steps, the task was difficult.

Gradually, elders of the society with Sanatani ideology also jumped in. There was friction in the executive meeting, Sanatani flag was seen waving in four zones (Madurai Zone, Chidambaram Zone, Chennai Zone and Namakkal Zone) under South India Zone.

A demand arose that new rules should be made in South India Samaj in line with the new policies and rules made in other zone societies of India. A “Letter of Support” for the new rules of South India Samaj was prepared along with the approval letter of the native village of Kutch and was presented in the executive of 2012 held at Kumbakonam. Which was strongly opposed, the then President Shri Chunilal Chopra and other Sanatani members made tireless efforts to explain. Still, all people associated with Satpanth including General Secretary of South India Samaj Karshanbhai Rangani boycotted the meeting and left from there. In that Annual General Meeting, the name of South India Samaj was unanimously kept as “Shri South India Kutch Kadva Patidar Sanatan Samaj”.

This was the first instance in Kadva Patidar Samaj across India where two societies, Satpanth and Sanatan, were formed in South India. After that, a letter of support for being Sanatani was demanded from members in South India Zone. In that, some suspicious people also gave letters of support. Then additional proofs of their village were demanded from such people, those who fulfilled all these things remained as members of South India Sanatan Samaj. And the rest remained in Satpanth Samaj of South India.

After that, rules like not inviting Satpanthi families in family and social occasions and separating from business partnerships were made. The main purpose of making such rules was that, by doing this our own brethren would rejoin the Sanatan stream. Occasionally small frictions kept happening. But, as days passed everything calmed down.

From the year 2017, some families left Satpanth Samaj and started joining Sanatan Samaj. Gradually this flow started increasing. The leading group of Sanatan Samaj put forward a demand that all members of Satpanth Samaj should join the Sanatan stream together. To which some Sanatani members opined that for families who are staunch Satpanthis, one should wait a little. Suggested that way. But for some reason it was not acceptable to the leading team. This friction reached its peak. Staunch Sanatani elders of South India asked the Center to mediate in this matter. Total five members including the then President of Central Samaj Shri, Vice President Shri and Yuvasangh President Shri came for mediation. Persuasive talks were held to calm the matter and not to fight against each other in Sanatani society. A representation was made that members wishing to join Sanatan Samaj from Satpanth Samaj should not be stopped. All members welcomed that point.

In the subsequent executive meeting, a final decision was taken to include those families in the annual meeting at Chennai in 2020 who sign the support letter with 100 rupees stamp paper and present the proof of Kutch Samaj and pay the prescribed fee. Also, a decision was approved that if any family violates any rules mentioned in the support letter, then that family will be dismissed from the membership of South India Samaj under any circumstances. Along with this support letter, an important decision was taken that new members joining from 2020 will not be able to hold any post in any social organization like South India Zone, Ghatak Samaj, South India Yuvasangh, Yuva Mandal, Mahila Mandal etc. for the next 6 years.

With the guarantee of following these rules, 140 families joined Sanatan Samaj in the annual general meeting of Pongal held at Chennai on 14-January-2020.

For strict adherence to rules, members were appointed from Ghatak Zone Samaj and a committee was formed, a resolution was passed that members of this committee should inform South India Samaj with proof about whoever violates the rules for the next 6 years and South India Zone should take necessary action on that violating family.

Today in South India Zone, except for approximately 15 to 17 families, all others have left Satpanth and become Sanatani.
