What are mahants and masands

[Jassu]

I didn’t know where to post this (in either Sikh history or what’s happening), but I’m curious as to what mahants and masands are? I’m asking because my mother used mahant in a derogatory way towards my father and I’m curious if mahants the same as masands? Are they considered bad?

Massands existed during Gurus times, Mahants existed from when Sikhs lived in Jungles to the Singh Sabha movement. 

Theu are considered bad.

I thought you said your mum is a single parent?

Maybe she lost her father when younger? Maybe she is referring to old arguments between her parents

That could be an excuse if this is the first time her story doesn't seem consistent.
