Explanation:

The Akali movement was a campaign to bring reform in the gurdwaras(the Sikh places of worship) in India during the early 1920s.

The main aim of the Akali movementwas to have the Sikh gurdwarasreleased from the control of the traditional clergy, which had become powerful and ritualized.
The movement led to the introduction of the Sikh Gurdwara Act in 1925, which placed all the historical Sikh shrines in India under the control of
Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee(SGPC).
