Jhatka Parkash (Punjabi: ਝਟਕਾ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ਼),also called Jhatka Parkash Granth, is a book written by Giani Niranjan Singh Saral, a leading preacher of the SGPC, concerning historical, philosophical, etymological and theological aspects of Jhatka and Meat eating in Sikh Religion.[1][2]

This text was written in response to Randhir Singh's writing[3] Jhatke Prithaye Tat Gurmat Nirney, which harshly demotes Jhatka practice in Sikhs. Niranjan Singh addresses the root of every question and doubt raised against Jhatka and answered accordingly. The book was published in 1966 and was republished in 2008.
