obligatory on the part of the scholars to make the role of these valiant fighters in
the national struggle widely known and their services adequately recognised.
While it is essentially a chronicle of the eminent freedom fighters, this work

EDITOR'S NOTE
The work in hand is the second volume of Who's Who : Punjab Freedom
Fighters. The first volume was published in 1972 under the aegis of the Department
of Punjab Historical Studies. It covered the particulars of freedom fighters in
alphabetical order from A to I. The challenging task of writing of second volume
as conceived by us has been in process since then with the result that it has been
successfully completed as per the desired norms. We are feeling immense pleasure
to project and present it to our scholars and readers who are very eager for this
occasion.
How was this project conceived and executed has already been delineated in
the first volume of this work. Various sources consulted and the lengthy history of
various national movements which contributed to the cause of independence of the
mother country have been taken up exhaustively in the first volume which need not
be repeated at this stage. Nonetheless, a brief introduction to comprehend the
whole subject matter is given for the perusal of the scholars. It depicts the circum-
stances and the milieu of the regional struggle in which the common folk of the
Punjab was compelled to sacrifice the hearths and homes for liberating the country
from the foreign yoke. People from all walks of life participated in this struggle.
The contribution of the Punjabis in the freedom struggle of the country, as a
matter of fact, speaks volumes albeit, it is worth pointing out that the Punjabis
surpassed in the total number of death sentences, transportation for life, life impri-
sonment and severe persecution. The land of the Punjab served as a cradle for
rearing up and patronising many a movements concerning the country's liberation
and survival.
This volume delves on the detailed account of eminent freedom fighters from
J to Z besides the column-wise details of various freedom fighters who participated
in different morchas and movements from every nook and corner of the Punjab. It
goes without saying that the contribution of all those freedom fighters was no less
than any great sacrifice ever made to the national cause.
We deem it our moral obligation to put in black and white our gratitude for
those who provided assistance in the completion of this volume by one way or the
other. Our complements are very much due to our patron and worthy Vice-
Chancellor Dr H.K. Manmohan Singh who wholeheartedly provided us inspiration,
guidance and moral support during the progress of this huge project. Dr Hazara
Singh needs a specific mention here for the early printing, execution and presentation

of this volume. The assistance provided by the staff of the Department of Punjab
Historical Studies requires mention as well. The volume would not have seen the
light of the day without the ungrudging help of S. Ajit Singh Boora and the admini-
strative staff.
was a green signal to the valiant Punjabis to attempt a revolution in the country
during the Great War of 1914-1918. The Rikab Ganj Morcha of 1918 was a proof,
if proof was ever required, that the situation in the Punjab was very tense resulting
from the growing dissatisfaction of the people with the British rule. The repressive
Rowlatt Bills making no provision for 'dalil, vakil and appeal' added to the
prevailing discontentment. The situation was accentuated by the Jallianwala Bagh
Tragedy on 13th April, 1919 at Amritsar. The Jallianwala Bagh massacre shook
Indians' faith in the British Government. It not only intensified the anti-British
struggle in the Punjab but had its repercussions on the country-wide freedom struggle
which veritably assumed an all-India character.
Freedom struggle turned over a new leaf during the years 1920-1937 when
under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi non-violent as well as revolutionary mode
and ways were adopted to achieve swaraj. The freedom struggle during this period
witnessed a fresh and new destination shifting the focus from the middle class
agitation to a mass movement of revolutionary character. The Motague-Chelmsford
Reforms (1919) were considered inadequate, unsatisfactory and disappointing. The
Khilafat Movement of the Muslims, in which the non-Muslims joined at the call of
Gandhiji, gave a new orientation to the national movement. This was followed by
the historic Non-Cooperation Movement launched by Gandhiji with an appeal to
surrender posts and honorary titles and dissociate from the activities of the Govern-
ment. Prohibiting the use of foreign textiles and boycott of Councils were adopted
as instruments for expressing resentment against the foreign rule and vindicating the
national honour. Atrocities committed by the British on the inhabitants of the Punjab
had been seriously taken notice of by Gandhiji and had prompted him to place
before the masses the proposal of non-cooperation. The Non-Cooperation Movement
decidedly imparted a mass character to the national struggle. This phase of the
freedom struggle witnessed an attempt of the freedom fighters to change the econo-
mic creed of the Congress with the massive campaign for forcing into work the
spinning wheel and wearing of khadi.
During this period the Akalis had plunged into the freedom struggle in the
Punjab. Under the directions of Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee and
the Akali Dal, the Gurdwara Reform Movement was carried on in the true spirit of
non-violence. The tale of heroic sacrifices made by the Sikhs in the course of
morchas including those of Nankana Sahib Morcha, Keys Morcha, Guru Ka Bagh
Morcha and Jaito Morcha, constitutes a highly significant chapter in the epic struggle
for freedom. The Babbar Akalis, however, by means of their deeds of heroism,
formed a part of the background against which after a few years a new revolution
ary movement was set afoot by Bhagat Singh. The Kirti Kisan Party played a signi-
ficant role in arousing national consciousness among the people and particularly
workers and peasants and in collaboration with Nau Jawan Sabha it was able to
create serious apprehensions in the minds of the Government personnels. In the
XII INTRODUCTION
late 1920s the Nau Jawan Sabha jumped into the freedom struggle by commencing
radical activities which though slackened after some years, left a strong legacy of
sacrifice and patriotism for the countrymen whose desideratum now was
Pur an Swaraj.
However, the position taken by the British Government during the First and
i
Second Round Table Conferences and the offer of'Communal Award'eventually
led to the passing of the Government of India Act, 1935 which fell far short of the
aspirations of the nationalists. Awakening among the masses and the rising tide of
nationalism also motivated and influenced the inhabitants of Princely States who by
means of movements like Praja Mandal and by assuming wider dimensions with the
support of Indian National Congress launched struggle against the feudal regime of
the Princes and Imperial regime of the British. In the Punjab this struggle was
supported also by the Akali Dal and Communist Party.
of great consequence which took place in the arena of the freedom struggle. From
1937 onwards there was the triangular political contest among the Congress Party,
the Muslim League and The British authority. While the Congress strove for
complete freedom, the Muslim League supported the British to protect and
promote the interests of Muslim community. The elections of the year 1937
brought a relative succour for the Congress Party which came out in majority
in most of the provinces. It formed governments in various provinces resulting
in Muslim League's desidratum in forming coalitions with it, more especially
in the United Provinces. The Congress consented to such a coalition only in
case the League nominees resigned its membership before their entry into the
Congress governments. The consequent result was a strong propaganda of the
League against the Congress and stress on two nation theory. Resultantly in
1940, through a significant resolution, the League demanded Pakistan, a Muslim
State representing predominently Muslim areas of the country.
On the eve of the Second World War in 1939, India having been declared to
be belligerent by the British without consulting the Congress, the Congress ministries
resigned in protest, Mahatma Gandhi launched satyagraha to counteract the war
propaganda of the British. The British in their desire to attain India's support in the
war more especially when they were being pressed by the Japanese in the South East
Asia despatched in March, 1942, Cripps Mission with the offer of freedom after the
War albeit, it was declared by the Congress 'a post-dated cheque on a failing bank.'
Under these circumstances, the Congress under the directions of Mahatma Gandhi
launched the Quit India Movement. The role of Punjab in supporting this campaign
against the British was, as usual, very important and effective. Many a Punjabis
offered themselves for arrests and sacrificed their hearths and homes for the sole
objective of achieving freedom. The Punjabis also contributed in associating
themselves with the Indian National Army, a significant organisation aiming at the
INTRODUCTION XIII
liberation of the country from the foreign yoke by violent means. The Punjabis not
only offered recruitment in the INA but also gave an efficient leadership. However,
the struggle for independence was reduced to a conflict for the attainment of power
between the Congress and the Muslim League.
In the general elections of 1945 the Muslim League in the Punjab secured 79
seats out of the total of 175 seats. The Sikhs, the Congress and the Unionist Party
made combined efforts against the Muslim League and prevented the latter from
coming to power. However, the Congress was in a position to form ministries in
most of the provinces.
On the historic day when the struggle for India's freedom bore fruit on 15th
_
August, 1947, violence and communal riots marred the glorious achievement.
Hindus and Sikhs on the one hand and the Muslims on the other were at daggers
drawn which resulted in large-scale migration. Lakhs of precious human lives went
to wreck and ruin.
The study of freedom movement in India would indeed, be incomplete
without delineating the over-all contribution of the Punjab and that of the idividual
freedom fighters of this region.
PATRIOTS OF NOTE
JAGAT SINGH
An eminent martyr of the Ghadar movement, Jagat Singh alias Jai Singh was
born at village Sur Singh, District Lahore (now District Amritsar). He was son of
Arur Singh, a much respected farmer of the place. Before Jagat Singh went abroad
he served in Risala No. 35 of the Indian Army, but after a short time he got fed up
with military service and left it. Having an adventurous bent of mind he did not
like to stay at home and went to China where he took up the assignment of a watch-
man for a short period. After sometime he proceeded to Canada and got employed
in a certain mill in which about 300 Indians were working. These Indians had
raised a local gurdwara and set up a committee of seven members to manage it.
Jagat Singh was elected member of that committee within a brief span of his
arrival there.
The free atmosphere of Canada made a deep impact upon his sensitive mind
and he realized that he had a duty to work for the freedom of his Motherland. He,
therefore, regarded the formation of the Ghadar Party in ] 913 as a godsend. When
the first World War broke out in 1914, the Ghadrites of America decided to send
bands of freedom fighters to India with a view to raising a rebellion against the
British. Jagat Singh arrived with one of the first batches. Such members of the band
as escaped the clutches of the police immediately engaged themselves in revolutionary
work. But their efforts did not quite succeed and most of their secret centres of
activity were captured by the police. However, they remained undaunted and
decided to send the most daring among them out of the city of Lahore so that the
work could be continued. Jagat Singh was one of the people selected for the job.
While, he and his companions were going in a tonga in Lahore, all of a sudden a
few police men stopped the tonga and asked its passengers to accompany them
to a nearby police station for search and investigation. The Ghadrites had pistols
on their persons and instead of complying with wishes of the policemen, shot down
a few of them. One of Jagat Singh's companions was caught on the spot. Jagat
-
Singh himself tried to escape but was soon overtaken and arrested. He was tried
in the First Lahore Conspiracy Case and sentenced to death and hanged.
During the time Jagat Singh was engaged on his revolutionary work, he took
part in political dacoities in Ludhiana and Amritsar, helped in the manufacturing
of bombs and endeavoured to seduce Indian troops at Sargodha. He was reputed
for his hefty physique and leonine heart.

With
the State Government was intensified. Jangir Singh extended his full support to it
and shortly after, was appointed its Secretary. In that capacity he participated in
the Praja Mandal agitation at Amritsar in 1933. Consequently he was sentenced to
six months' imprisonment which was subsequently extended by two years.
The Master Tara Singh-Maharaja Bhupindra Singh Pact of 1935 was a clever
manoeuvre of the Maharaja to weaken the movement against him by driving a wedge
between the Akalis and the Praja Mandal. Jangir Singh bitterly opposed the pact,
for which reason he was arrested and sentenced to 18 years' imprisonment by a
Bhawanigarh court. The sentence was later reduced and he was released before
time.
During the period of his confinement, the Praja Mandal movement had
taken a new turn and had fallen under the dominant influence of Communists and
urban Hindus. Therefore, after his release he had second thoughts on the matter
and patched up his differences with Master Tara Singh and was present at the
Bhawaaigarh Akali Conference in 1943.
Three years later, Jangir Singh again had differences with Master Tara
Singh and set up a separate orgnization called Malwa Akali Dal and pursued an
independent line of policy.
After 1947 he supported the formation of Pepsu but was opposed to its merger
with the Punjab. For a time he was successful, because the merger took place only
after 1956. In 1954 he won election to the Pepsu Assembly on Akali ticket. His
second electoral victory was won the elections of 1967 when he contested a seat of
the Punjab Legislative Assembly.
was elected President of the California Branch of the Indian Association, the first
organization that had been set up by the Indian settlers over there to guard their
interests. The inhuman and discriminatory treatment meted out to them by the
natives and the unsympathetic attitude adopted by the British Indian Government in
the matter created a powerful feeling in the minds of Jawala Singh and his friends
that the root cause of all their troubles and hardships was their political subjection.
Once this feeling was born, the timely outbreak of the First World War created the
necessary opportunities to strike a blow for the attainment of their objective.
Taking advantage of the favourable turn in the situation, Baba Jawala Singh, Baba
Wasakha Singh, Baba Sohan Singh Bhakna and Lala Hardyal toured the Pacific
Coast impressing upon their people the urgent need of a powerful political organ to
bring about a revolution in India. The new organ that thus came into being was
the famous Ghadar Party with the Ghadar as its vehicle of political propaganda.
The main aim of the party being to organize an armed rebellion in India
several batches of revolutionaries were sent to India. Baba Jawala Singh was one
of the principal leaders of the first big batch which left San Francisco for India on
29th August, 1914 by the ship called Korea. From Hong Kong a new ship Tosha
Maru was hired for the onward journey to India. At Singhapur Jawala Singh and
some other leaders tried to win over the loyalty of Indian regiments and to incite
them for a national revolt against the British, but not much success was achieved.
As soon as they landed at Calcutta, most of them were arrested including
Baba Jawala Singh and all their plans were frustrated. In 1915 the Baba was tried
in the First Lahore Conspiracy Case and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He
remained in jail for 18 years and was released in 1933. When he was serving his
term in the Andaman Islands, he went on hungerstrike agaist the inhuman treatment
of prisoners by the authorities.
After 1933 he identified himself with the cause of peasants and workers and
worked for the Punjabi paper Kirti which voiced their grievances. For his new
activities he was rearrested in 1935 and sentenced to one year's imprisonment. But
this did not affect his zeal and he continued his work as usual. When he was on his
way to Bengal to attend a session of the all-India Kisan Conference, he met
an accident on the way and died in 1938. His whole life was a life of dedication to
the national cause.
/
he had gone to America and seen with his own eyes the miserable plight of his
countrymen over there. Though he was just a labour contractor in a timber factory,
he soon became well known on the west coast on account of his revolutionary ideas.
He was a great admirer of Sufi Amba Prasad and Lala Hardyal and among his
close associates were Sohan Singh Bhakna, Kartar Singh Sarabha, Santokh Singh
and G.D. Kumar. Before the Ghadar Party was founded, Kanshi Ram was a
prominent member of the Indian Association and a founder of the Indian
Independence League at Portland. The Ghadar Party, when founded, owed much of
its success to the intellectual and financial contribution of Kanshi Ram. At the very
outset of the Ghadar Party's career he made a handsome donation of 200 dollars
towards its funds. As Propaganda Secretary and later as Treasurer he rendered
meritorious services both in the consolidation and expansion of the Party.
When the Ghadar Party decided in 1914 to send bands of freedom-fighters to
India, Kanshi Ram readily offered his services. On his arrival in India in October,
1914 he selected Ludhiana as the centre of his activities. An essential part of the
programme being to spread sedition among Indian soldiers, Kanshi Ram visited
several army cantonments and explained the aims and objects of his Party.
To secure more funds for the implementation of the secret plan, he decided
with the help of a band of 15 revolutionaries to plunder the Moga Government
Treasury on November 25, 1914. Somehow, the police came to know of their
design and tried to intercept them. A violent clash occured in which a sub-Inspector
of police and a Zaildar were shot dead. But the contemplated attack failed to
materialize and Kanshi Ram and some others were arrested. They were tried and
sentenced to death and confiscation of property in the First Lahore Conspiracy
Case. On this occasion Kanshi Ram was asked by the Judge, "Why don't you
appologize and secure your release ?" "I have done my duty and now you do
yours", was the prompt reply of Kanshi Ram. He was hanged on 27th March, 1915
and his property worth rupees forty thousand was confiscated.
A few days after his execution two boxes containing arms hidden in false
bottoms arrived for him from a marchant of Japan. Kanshi Ram had left these
I
arms in Japan with a merchant and had promised 1000 yens to him if the boxes
arrived safely in India.
A middle-class farmer's son, Giani Kartar Singh was born in 1901 at village
Nagoki, District Lyallpur (now in Pakistan). He matriculated from Khalsa High
School, Lyallpur. After that he sought admission in college with a view to receiving
higher education but owing to an attack of smallpox he had to cut short his studies,
From quite early days in his career he had the inclination of his mind towards
politics. Political writings of Bhai Parmanand and Master Sunder Singh Lyallpuri,
particularly, had deep effect upon his mind. As a youngman of 18, he participated
in the historic Amritsar procession taken out a few days before the occurrence of
the Jallianwala Bagh tragedy. Two years later he zealously took part in the non-
cooperation movement of Mahatma Gandhi. The Akali agitation which commenced
*
XXII INTRODUCTION
in 1921 had even greater fascination for him. He took part in both Guru Ka Bagh
and Jaito morchas. In the Jaito morcha he headed a jatha of 41 Satyagrahis, for
which reason he was arrested and jailed for 6 months. In 1924 he became prominent
enough to become a member of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee
and the Shiromani Akali Dal. In 1930 he took part in the Civil Disobedience
Movement and hence he was sentenced to one year's imprisonment.
He was returned to the Punjab Legislative Assembly in the provincial elec-
tions of 1937. From now onwards his role assumed even greater significance.
Being a member of the Panthic Party he became the chief lieutenant of Master Tara
Singh in the championship of Sikh rights. With the Muslim League's Pakistan
resolution passed in 1940, the danger to Sikh interests in the Puniab loomed large,
on the horizon. Kartar Singh was bitterly opposed to the League's demand for
vivisection of the country and stood for the freedom of an undivided India. The
struggle was hard and long because the Government appeared to have a soft corner
for the Muslim League. He together with other Sikh leaders opposed the Cripps
Plan as well as the Cabinet Mission Plan as being hostile to Sikh interests. To make
the Muslim League's demand for Pakistan more difficult he posed the Sikh
demand for Khalistan. But India had to be divided despite all his efforts to
the contrary.
After partition he played a leading role in the rehabilitation of displaced
people from West Pakistan. When the Shiromani Akali Dal was merged with the
Congress Party, he was included in the second Bhargava Ministry as Minister of
Education and Revenue. During his tenure of office he tried his level best to
promote the cause of Punjabi language and literature. In particular, he tried to
solve the thorny language problems facing the new State and the well-known Sachar
Formula was largely his contribution to the settlement of the problem. In the
heyday of his career he was considered the brain of the Akali Party.
The great national stir aroused in 1919 over the agitation against Rowlatt
Bills and the Jallianwala Bagh tragedy turned him a nationalist. He actively
participated in the demonstrations against the Black Bills and delivered a series of
lectures against the atrocities perpetrated by the Government. Consequently, he was
arrested and after a mock trial was sentenced to death. But fortunately, the death
sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. He was taken to the Andaman
Islands for incarceration. Once again fortune smiled upon him and he was released
in 1920 as the result of a Royal clemency.
Even when he was back home in the Punjab, Government kept strict survei-
llence over his movement. He was now a confirmed Congressite and spoke bitterly
against authorities.
His predominant interest, however, was in the field of gurdwara reform.
Completely fed up with the immoral ways of mahants and pujaris, custodians of
Sikh shrines, he advocated direct action and organized a strong band of Sikh
crusaders for forcible occupation of gurdwaras. He played a leading role in the
expulsion of mahants from Har Mandir Sahib and Akal Takhat (Amritsar), Babe di
Ber (Sialkot), Punja Sahib (Hasan Abdal), Sacha Sauda (Sheikhupura) and the
gurdwaras of Nankana Sahib. His second imprisonment took place immediately
aftre the Nankana tragedy. This was for a period of 5 months. In 1925 he was
arrested for the third time for anti-Government speeches. This time he was
subjected to severe tortures with the result that his health suffered a great set-back.
He remained in jail till December, 1928.
In 1935 the police cooked up a false case of murder against him. He might
have been hanged but for the timely intervention of the Maharaja of Patiala.
After the passage of the Gurdwaras Act, 1925, Kartar Singh led a quiet life
at his village devoting himself mainly to religion. Even so, he could never tolerate
any challenge to his community from any quarter and in time of need was prepared
to sacrifice his all for its sake.
He died on 20th November, 1962 at Habri in District Karnal.
One of the most eminent freedom-fighters of our country, Kartar Singh was
born in 1896 at Sarabha, District Ludhiana. His father's name was Mangal Singh.
He passed the Matriculation examination and thereafter joined a college but did not
pursue his studies further because of his father's untimely death. Otherwise, too,
he did not take much interest in his studies. In 1910 Kartar Singh proceeded to San
Francisco (U.S.A.). Those were the days when national consciousness was fast
growing among Indians residing in America. Kartar Singh's young and sensitive
mind quickly imbibed the influence and he became an ardent nationalist. The
Ghadar newspaper was actually his child and to begin with, he bore practically the
whole of its burden. Later on, however, some other people came forward to share
XXIV INTRODUCTION
the work with him. About the same time, he trained himself in the mechanism and
repair of aeroplanes.
After the outbreak of the First World War, Kartar Singh returned to India
and became a collaborator of noted revolutionaries such as Babu Rash Behari Bose
and Babu Surinder Nath Sanyal who were working secretly to bring about a
political revolution in the country. Kartar Singh selected the Punjab as the
centre of his activities and commenced his work with political dacoities in a
bid to collect arms and money for the contemplated revolution. Attempts
were also made to establish secret contacts with Indian soldiers in military
cantonments. When preparations were complete, 21st February, 1915 was
fixed as the day of rebellion. Unfortunately, however, one of his confidants,
Kirpal Singh, divulged the secret to the Government. The result was that the whole
plot was frustrated by the vigilance of the police. Apprehending the danger of
arrest, Kartar Singh and his friends Harnam Singh Tundilat and Jagat Singh fled
across the north-west frontier of the country. But then suddenly they realized that
their behaviour was cowardly and retraced their foot-steps. This change of
programme was effected chiefly at the bidding of Kartar Singh who would rather
sacrifice his life than leave his companions in the lurch.
While coming back, Kartar Singh was arrested near Sargodha and imprisoned
in Lahore Central Jail. When he was being tried on the charge of sedition, he took
the entire blame upon himself. The Judge was astounded to see such a young boy
behaving in such a non-chalant manner. In view of his tender age he advised the
young revolutionary to modify his statement, but the result was the very opposite of
what was desired by him. Kartar Singh made an even more uncompromising
statement on the basis of which he was sentenced to death and hanged in 1916.
During the period of his detention in Lahore Central Jail, Kartar Singh
managed to get hold of some instruments. With their help he wanted to cut the
iron-bars of his- window and escape in company with some other people. But the
plan was rendered abortive by the jail authorities who learnt about his designs well
in time and seized the instruments from underneath an earthen pitcher in his room.
At the time of his execution Kartar Singh was hardly twenty years old. But
such was his courage that in the course of his detention he gained 14 pounds of
weight^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^M

came under the spell of national politics during the days of the Punjab Agrarian
Unrest in 1907. When the Bharat Mata Society was set up by Ajit Singh and Sufi
Amba Prasad, he joined it and soon became an active political worker. He took
a leading part in the first campaign launched in the Punjab for non-payment of
taxes. To promote the cause of Indian nationalism he founded two nationalist

papers known as Khabardar and Urdu Akhbar. His writings in these papers were
considered objectionable by the Punjab Government and his security deposits were
forfeited. In 1911 he was arrested under the Arms Act and detained for a year.
In 1915 he was rearrested in connection with the First Lahore Conspiracy Case
but was released after a year's trial.
Immediately after this he was rearrested under the Defence of India Act and
interned in District Multan for a period of four and a half years. In 1920 he
secured his release but instead of taking rest he plunged into the Non-Cooperation
Movement in 1921. At that time he happened to be General Secretary of the
Congress Committee, Lahore. He was hanged up and sentenced to 6 month's
imprisonment in 1922. After his release he was rearrested and sent to jail in 1923.
In the ranks of the Indian National Congress he occupied a position of
prominence. He was member of the All-India Congress Committee till 1935. In
1925 he presided over the deliberations of the Punjab Political Sufferers' Conference.
Being essentially a man of radical bent of mind, he had close association with the
revolutionaries of the country. He was a co-founder of the Naujwan Bharat Sabha
which acquired great name and fame under the leadership of Bhagat Singh. When
the first meeting of the Sabha was held in the Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar, in 1928,
Saigal was elected its President. He was also a co-founder of the Complete Indepe-
ndence League and the Kirti Kisan Party in the Punjab, both set up in 1928. He
took a leading part in organizing the boycott of the Simon Commission and was
involved in a riot case in connection therewith. In 1928 he was arrested in the
Saunder's Murdar Case and imprisoned for 3 years. During the period of his
incarceration he was taken to Meerut for interrogation in connection with the
Meerut Conspiracy Case. He remained there as an under-trial prisoner for a
period of 4 years' rigorous imprisonment. On his appeal the Allahabad High Court
spared him the additional term and he was released in 1933. From 1933 to 1936
he functioned as General Secretary of the Punjab Provincial Congress Committee.

He lived on for many years after Independence. He died only some years
back.
the Allahabad University for a law degree but owing to the sudden death of his
father, had to cut short his studies in the middle.
In 1912 he was elected Chairman of the Reception Committee of the 5th
Session of the Sikh Educational Conference held at Sialkot. He presided over the
historic session of the Central Sikh League held in Lahore in 1920, at which
Mahatma Gandhi, the Ali Brothers and Dr. Kitchlew were present and advised the
Sikhs to throw in their lot with the Congrees. In 1921 he helped found the S.G.P.C.
and was unanimously elected its President. Afterwards, too, he held that exalted
office on several occasions,
He launched the first morcha against the Government in November, 1921,
which is popularly known as the Keys Morcha He was among the first to be arrested.
His arrest led to a vigorous storm of protest against the Government. Within six
weeks the Government yielded and released him. This victory infused a new
energy and vigour in the political life of the Punjab, and according to Mahatma
Gandhi was the "first decisive battle won for India's freedom". In the same
year he was elected President of Punjab Provincial Congress Committee. A few
weeks after this event the was arrested and sentenced.
In December, 1922, jail authorities imposed a ban on the wearing of black
turban. Baba Kharak Singh and his companions resolutely defied this. Thereupon,
the authorities forcibly removed his turban. Baba Kharak Singh could not tolerate
it and took a vow that he would remain naked wearing only a kachha (drawers of
Sikhs) until the Government removed the ban. As soon as this fact became public,
a great agitation arose in the whole of the Punjab. Ultimately, the Government
removed the ban and asked Babaji to wear clothes. In 1925 the Punjab Legislative
Council passed the Gurdwaras Act and recommended to the Government to release
Baba Kharak Singh. After having remained naked for more than four years in
prison, he came out naked from the jail in June, 1927.
He organised a mammoth demonstration in 1928 when the Simon Commi-
ssion visited Lahore. He was again sent to jail in 1931 but was released after six
months. He was rearrested in 1932 and detained for 19 months in prison. Once
again he was taken in custody in 1935 for his seathing criticism of the Communal
Award.
During the Individual Satyagrah Movement in 1940, he was detained in jail
until December, 1940. While in jail, he fell seriously ill and lost his eyesight which
was however, restored by an operation in 1943. The last imprisonment that fell to
the lot of Baba Kharak Singh was towards the end of 1944 when he presided over
the deliberations of the Akhand Hindustan Conference held at Gujranwala. But
he was released soon.
In spite of his old age, Babaji did not stop his activities. He was one of
those leaders who unhesitatingly took up the cause of the I.N.A. in 1945. During
the elections of 1946 he toured the whole of the Punjab and the N.W.F.P. and
made a magnificent contribution to the success of the Congress.
INTRODUCTION XXVII
The only son of his father Fateh Singh, Kishan Singh was born at village
Baring, District Jullundur, a place just two furlongs to the east of Jullundur Canton-
ment. Before he entered on political activities, he was in the Indian Army for a
period of about fifteen years serving in Battalion No. 35. He was promoted to the
rank of Havaldar Major and was due for promotion as Jamadar when he resigned
his service. While in the army, he was once accused of anti-British remarks and
detained in Quarter Guard for 28 days.
When he left the army, the Akali movement was in full swing. Without any
hesitation he became member of the Shiromani Akali Dal and after a short time
was appointed its General Secretary. But he had no faith in the non-violent metho-
dology of the Akalis and gave preference to armed struggle over peaceful morchas.
Circumstances helped him to translate his ideas into practice. In the Akali
Conspiracy Case, Hoshiarpur, his warrants of arrest were issued. To evade
arrest he became a fugitive and started working underground. Shortly after,
he organized a band of radicals and gave it the name of Chakravarti Jatha
(ever-moving band). The band was meant to carry on propaganda against
the British Government and to strike awe in the minds of its functionaries by use
of arms whenever necessary. Among its members the most notable were Sunder
Singh Makhsuspuri, Karam Singh Dhariman, Babu Santa Singh and Master Mota
Singh. To begin with, he held special diwans where he made powerful speeches
advocating the use of arms for freedom from British rule. The next step was to
take action against ultra-loyalists like numberdars, sufaidposhes and zaildars. A
meeting was held in 1922, where it was decided to warn these people first and to cut
off the ears of those who did not heed the warning. Even lists of such people were
drawn. After sometime, however, the decision was revised and it was resolved that
\
the real remedy was to assassinate them. The same meeting decided to reorganize
the Chakravarti Jatha under the name of Babbar Akali Dal. Kishan Singh was
elected its President, Dalip Singh Gaunsal became its Treasurer. Karam Singh
Ligar, Karam Singh Daulatpuri and Ude Singh were elected working members.
The new organization brought out its revolutionary paper which was printed at a
press called Udaru Press (flying or mobile press). Seeing the rapidly growing
XXVIII INTRODUCTION
influence of the Babbar Akalis Government put up a prize of rupees two thousand
on Kishan Singh's head. A number of decoits fell under his spell and agreed to
abide by the discipline of the Babbars and to work in collaboration with them.
While he was working full-steam, Kishan Singh (called Gargaj) from his
powerful manner of speaking) was all of a sudden arrested at Pindori Mahal on
26th February, 1923 through the treachery of one Kabul Singh of his own
village, Baring.
He was detained in Lahore Central Jail. A special court was created for
his trial which lasted from 2nd June, 1924 to 28th February, 1925. The most
remarkable feature of the trial was Kishan Singh's long statement running into 125
pages in indictment of repressive British administration. As was to be expected, he
was sentenced to death and was hanged on 27th February, 1926. At first the jail
authorities refused to hand over his dead body to the members of his family but the
huge crowd that had gathered outside the jail ultimately forced them to acede to
the public demand. The body was cremated on the bank of the Ravi.
Jathedar Kishan Singh was in the prime of his youth at the time of his
execution—not more than 35 years. On account of his passionate patriotism, integrity
of character and power of speech he had verily become the beau ideal of people.
dangerous by the Government of India and a ban was imposed on his return to the
country. After the war was over, the ban was lifted and he came back to India on
20th February, 1920. It was an occasion for national rejoicing and the Indian
National Congress honoured him by electing him its President. In his absence the
Punjab had been brutally mauled. The Rowlatt Bills and the Jallianwala Bagh
Tragedy embittered him all the more against the Government. Therefore, when the
non-cooperation movement was launched, he plunged into it whole heartedly with
the result that he was arrested and jailed.
After this movement when he was released, he joined the Swarajist Party but
he could not pull on with Pandit Moti Lai Nehru and had to leave it. With a vein
of extremism in him he always kept close contacts with Indian revolutionaries and
secretly gave all possible encouragement to them. That is the reason that people
like Bhagat Singh had such a deep reverence for him. His end was in keeping with
his career. While he was leading a procession at Lahore against the Simon
Commission in 1928, he subjected to a severe /a//z/-charge. The lion of the Punjab,
or Punjab Kesri as he was called, succumbed to the lathi blows and died after a
month on 17th November, 1928.
Lajpat Rai dead was even more dangerous than Lajpat Rai alive. His death
unleashed hectic revolutionary activity which culminated in the execution of Bhagat
Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev in 1931.
Son of the eminent medical practitioner, Sahib Ditta, Madan Lai born in
1887. He passed his intermediate examination from Amritsar and then joined a
Lahore College for further studies. After a few months he left his studies on
securing a job in the Settlement Department in the Government of Jammu and
Kashmir. There also he did not stay for long. In 1906 he left for England for a
course in engineering.
On October 19, 1906 he was admitted in the University College, London.
While he was pursuing his studies there, he began to attend political meetings at
the India House. He was initiated by the revolutionary Indian leader, Savarkar,
into the membership of his society called Abhinav Bharat. He was then generally
considered a non-chalant and pleasure seeking type of person. But Savarkar
thought highly of him. Those were the days when British oppression against
Indians was at its height. In a short span of time Savarkar, Kanhya Lai, Barindra,
Bhupendra, Khudhi Ram Bose and Haim Chandra Das were captured and
sentenced to death. This infuriated the young revolutionaries in England who
decided to penalize the harshness of the Government by assassinating Sir Willian
Curzon Wyllie, Political Aide-de-Camp at the India House. Incidentally, Wyllie was
a good friend of Madan Lai's father. But this did not deter Madan Lai from bis

-
firm resolve to shoot him. For this purpose he diligently prepared himself with
regular practice in revolver shooting.
On July 1, 1909 there was a meeting at the Imperial Institute, London where
Sir W.C. Wyllie was present. Madan Lai at last got his long-awaited chance. He
had a six-chamber revolver in his pocket and a smile on his face. Wyllie went
around for courtesy talks. When he made for Madan Lai, his friend's son, and
was just opening his mouth to talk, Madan Lai fired at him at point-blank-range.
The Political Aide-de-Camp died on the spot. Madan Lai threw away the revolver
and made no attempt to escape. He was surrounded by the crowd and captured.
When his hands were being tied, he laughed in derision and said, "Please let me
correct my specs."
The news created a great sensation in the whole of India and England.
Madan Lai's act was condemned by his father and other relatives but was eulogized
by nationalists and revolutionaries. He was tried by a British court and sentenced
t
to death. In a statement before his death Madan Lai said these words : "Neither
rich nor able, a poor son like myself can offer nothing but his blood at the alter of
Mother's deliverance and so I rejoice at the prospect of my martyrdom." On
August, 17, 1909 Madan Lai Dhingra was hanged.
frequently came into conflict with his European officers over matters Indian. For
instance, he protested against the anti-Indian attitude of his C O . in the selection of
people for Emergency Commissions. As a result of his and other Indian officers'
-
stand, Indian food, hitherto taboo in the officers' mess, began to be served at all
meals in the Regiment.
When the Japanese invaded Malaya, he fought against them for 3 days, and
then availing himself of the opportunity approached them to secure their support in
raising an Indian National Army to oust Britishers from India. Within a week of his
joining the Japanese in December, 1941, he raised an army of one thousand men
and fought against the British in Malaya. By the time Singapore fell he had about
10,000 Indian soldiers under his command.
After working with the Japanese for 13 months, he discovered that they were
not sincere in their friendship towards India and he refused to be a puppet in their
hands. When the Japanese were convinced that he could not be exploited for their
selfish ends, they threw him into jail on December 29, 1942 and kept him a closely
guarded prisoner till the end of the war. At the time of his arrest, the I.N.A.
consisted of about 17,000 armed and equipped soldiers, some 25,000 trained
soldiers (known as surplus volunteers) whom the Japanese did not equip with arms,
and about two hundred thousand volunteers who were not allowed to be enlisted by
the Japanese.
When in 1945 after the fall of the atom bomb in their country, the Japanese
laid down their arms, Mohan Singh effected his escape from jail and went into
hiding in the Island of Java. But he soon realized that to remain in hiding like that
was no honourable act and voluntarily surrendered himself to the British. He was
brought to Delhi as a prisoner on November 23, 1945 and in due course of time
was released like other I.N.A. officers.
Since then he had been taking keen interest in agriculture and politics. As
a farmer he developed a flourishing garden colony at Jugiana in the District of
Ludhiana. In politics after some initial disappointments he emerged as a
successful congress leader. As organizer of the recent elections in the Punjab he had
won a vast majority of seats for the Congress, thereby putting it back into power.
As for himself he had preferred to become member of the Rajya Sabha.
At the time of the Nankana massacre on February 21, 1921 he was not in
India. He has secretly gone away to Kabul to make contacts with those Ghadr
Party leaders who had set up a revolutionary government there. At Kabul he also
came into contact with some Bolshevik leaders of Russia. He is reported in
Government files to have brought from there Rs. 10,000 for his political work. He
returned to the Punjab and worked underground.
He appeared in public at Nankana Sahib in February 1922 at the time of
the first celebration of the martyrdom of Nankana heroes. Lakhs of people had
gathered there on the occasion. He suddenly appeared at the diwan and made a
thundering revolutionary speech, exhorting the Sikh congregation to make a
revolution and overthrow the British Government by means of armed struggle.
Having delivered the speech, he disappeared from the site and despite all efforts of
the police officers to arrest him, he could not be found. He had successfully
evaded arrest.
Government declared him a "proclaimed offender" and put a big prize on
his head. This fact further endeared him to the people.
One day, Mota Singh went to his village Patara (District Jullundur) where
as a result of information provided by an informer, he was arrested by the
police in June, 1922. After a farcical trial he was sentenced to 5 years' rigorous
imprisonment.
But before his arrest he had "succeeded in gathering round him a revolu-
tionary band composed of some of the most desperate Sikh criminals of the
Jullundur and Hoshiarpur districts including one or two ex-soldiers and several
returned emigrants." This was the nucleus of the Babbar Akali movement,
according to Government reports now lying in the National Archieves of India.
After he was sentenced, Master Mota Singh was harassed and punished by
jail authorities time and again because he was keeping contacts with outside people
and the Babbar Akali movement. Even a few warders and convict numberdars
were punished for arranging to send his messages outside. In order to prevent him
from keeping contacts with outside people, Government took a decision to transfer
him from one jail to another, which ultimately landed him in a Burma jail.
When he came out of jail, the Babbar Akali movement had been crushed.
Now, he started working with Communist workers in the Kissan Sabha and became
an executive member of the Sabha.
During the Second World War Mota Singh was detained in the Deoli Camp
jail (Rajputana) along with Punjab, U.P., Bihar and Bombay Communists and
Socialists.
Mota Singh was one of the important leaders in the Congress organi-
sation. He was highly respected by the people of the Doaba and had the
greatest influence there. He went to jail several times and became an M.L.A.
after Independence.
He died on 9th January, 1960.

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, he came back to the Punjab State for participation in
its active politics. From 1957 to 1967 he served the Punjab as legislator, Deputy
Minister, Minister of State and then Cabinet Minister.

PADAM DEV
Now a senior minister in the Himachal Government, Padam Dev was born
on 26th January, 1901 at village Bhamnoli, District Mahasu (Himachal Pradesh).
The names of his parents were Bali Ram and Ram Devi.
After completing the formative period of his career, he became member of
the Indian National Congress. His active role in the freedom movement commenced
with his participation in the Salt Campaign with which Mahatma Gandhi opened
his Civil Disobedience movement in 1930. In the same year he became President
of the Himachal Pradesh Praja Mandal which had lately been established to
organize the people of the Punjab Hill States against the now outdated Princely
Order. As a Praja Mandal leader Padam Dev took active part in the Hyderabad
State agitation in 1939. His political activities were considered dangerous and
he was arrested in 1941. When he was released after sometime, he courted arrest
during the Quit India movement, 1942.

Later, when the Himalayan Hill States Regional Council was formed, he
had the privilege of being its first General Secretary. Subsequently, he played a
leading role in the Suket Satyagrah which led to the integration of Simla Hill States
into what came to be known as the Himachal Pradesh.
In 1948 he was appointed member of the Himachal Pradesh Advisory
Council but he resigned it soon after. In 1952 he was elected to the Himachal
Pradesh Assembly and became Home Minister in the government formed after the
elections. In 1957 he fought and won election to the Lok Sabha. But in 1962 he
returned to Himachal politics with his election to the Himachal Pradesh Territorial
Council. Five years later when new elections were held, he again won his seat on
the Coun(il. Together with the Chief Minister Dr. Y.S. Parmar, Padam Dev played
a leading role in securing the status of a full-fledged State for Himachal Pradesh.
PARMANAND, Bhai
A prominent public figure of the Punjab, Bhai Parmanand descended from
the family of the famous Sikh martyr, Bhai Mati Das. His father's name was Bhai
Tara Chand Mohyal who belonged to village Kariala, District Jhelum. Being an
Arya Samajist by faith, Parmanand visited South Africa as a religious missionary.
Himself an M.A. of the Panjab University, Lahore, he was deeply interested
in promotion of education. He was a life-member of the D. A.V. College, Lahore
and Chancellor of the Punjab Vidyapith.
In 1912 he proceeded to America. After visiting the British colonies in
South America he went to North America where he came in contact with Lala
Hardyal and other leaders of the Ghadr movement and became an active Ghadrite.
He accompanied Hardyal on his lecturing tour to Portland in 1914 and in the
interest of Ghadr wrote a book Tarikh-i-Hind. On his arrival in India he was
arrested in connection with the First Lahore Conspiracy Case and was senteced to
death in 1915. The sentence was later commuted to one of transportation for life
and hs was imprisoned in the Andaman Islands till 1920. A s a prisoner he was
subjected to rigorous labour. By way of protest against the harsh treatment of
political prisoners, Bhai Parmanand went on hunger strike for two months. He
was released in 1920 as the result of a general amnesty ordered by the King-
Emperor, Georoge V.
During the twenties when the Hindu-Muslim problem assumed an acute form,
he became a champion of Hindu rights and interests and as such greatly strengthened
the Hindu Mahasabha as a counter-poise to the Muslim League. He quickly
acquired as all-India stature and was elected President of the 15th Annual Session
of the All-India Hindu Mahasabha held at Ajmer. During the same year he went
to England to advocate the Hindu cause before the Joint Parliamentary Committee.
After the 16th Annual Session of the All-India Hindu Mahasabha held at Cawnpore

strides forward on the path of progress and prosperity during his tenure of power.
He resigned Chief Ministership on June 21, 1964. A little later, he was shot dead

Sardar Partap Singh was a rare combination of strength of character,
boldness, honesty of purpose and simplicity.
PRABODH CHANDRA
A prominent living Congress leader, son-in-law of the famous freedom-fighter,
Lala Pindi Das, he was born on 24th October, 1911 at Rawalpindi (now in
Pakistan). His parents Satya Dev and Durga Devi provided him with the best
available education. He was educated at Multan, Amritsar and Lahore. He passed
the B.A. and M.A. examinations of the Punja^University, Lahore in 1934 and 1936,
respectively.
•
Even as a student, he was deeply interested in politics and entered into the
main stream of national politics via students movement in the Punjab. He became
a member of the Students Organizing Committee as early as 1929. Three years later,
he became President of the Lahore Students Union and in 1934-35 he got the
Presidentship of the Punjab Students Union. In 1936 he was Chairman of the

In 1945 he was elected to the Punjab Legislative Assembly on Congress
ticket.
After Independence (1947) he played an important role in Punjab
politics. In 1952 he contested election to the Punjab Legislative Assembly. After
his victory at the polls, he was appointed Parliamentary Secretary. Four years later
he was appointed Minister in the Punjab Government for the first time. From 1962
to 1964 he functioned as Speaker of the Punjab Legislative Assembly. When
Ramkishan succeeded Partap Singh Kairon as Chief Minister, Prabodh Chandra
became Minister for the scond time and was given the portfolios of Education and

Development, Panchayats, Labour and Employment, Town and Country Planning
and Urban Estates. In September, 1970 he was elected member of the Lok Sabha
and is up to now member of that body.
Besides politics, he had interest in writing. Over the years he wrote a
number of books, namely : Sixty Years of Congress, Humanity Uprooted and
Progress.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^M
Kishan Singh, died when Pritam Singh was just a child. When his mother remarried,
he went along with her to his new father's house. His father Kishan Singh was an
armyman and so was his adopted father Hira Singh who was in service with the
Rajindra Lancers.
Like Jangir Singh Phaguwalia and many others, Pritam Singh started his
carrer with military service. He joined the Indian Army in January, 1915 and was
enrolled in 58 Rifles. The Frst World War being in progress at the time, he was
posted on the Suez Canal and took active part in fighting against the Arabs. It
was during the period of his service in the army that he developed revulsion against
drinking and meat-eating and became a teetotaller which he has been ever since.
He was released from service in 1920. Having a religious bent of mind from
the beginning, he used his newly gained leisure to get religious education from
Mahant Prem Partap Singh and Mahant Harkishan Singh. It was about this time
that he was baptised as Amritdhari Singh.
He was at Lahore in connection with his training in vehicular driving when
the Nankana Sahib tragedy occurred and deeply stirred his mind. Henceforward
he began taking keen interest in the Akali movement for control and management
of gurdwaras.
The Nabha agitation followed by the Jaito morcha led to his arrest and
imprisonment in 1923. For his active participation in the movement he was
sentenced to one year's rigorous imprisonment and was confined in the Bhatinda
jail. After his release in 1924 he participated in an unlawful Akali conference, for
which reason he was again sentenced to six months' confinement. When he was
about to be freed, his term was enhanced by six months. Ultimately, he secured his
release after the passing of the Gurdwara Act, 1925, as a result of Sardar Bahadur
Mehtab Singh and Giani Sher Singh's intercession with the Maharaja of Patiala.
In 1926 Pritam Singh joined the anti-Bhupinder Singh agitation. On the
advice of the Ghadrite Babas Jawala Singh and Wasakha Singh, the leaders of the
movement built up their centres of operation in British territory. The first most
important issue before them was the continued determination of Sewa Singh.
Pritam Singh whole-heartedly supported the campaign for his release. He was most
active when Baba Kharak Singh was conducting his tour in the Patiala State. On
account of that, he was detained for a period of 11 months.
When the formation of the Praja Mandal in 1928, he began to take all the
more interest in the movement against the State Government. In 1933 there was a
Praja Mandal morcha at Amritsar. Pritam Singh took part in that and suffered
another detention of six months. Two years later when an agreement was reached
between Master Tara Singh and Maharaja Bhupindra Singh, he took the hard line
of the Praja Mandal and denounced the agreement. As he happened to be outside
the State of Patiala at the time, it was not possible to take action against him easily.
Later, certain developments took place which brought about a change in the
attitude of Pritam Singh. After the Akalis left it, the Praja Mandal came under the
VIIIL INTRODUCTION
of a parallel government. The province was divided into 22 divisions and each
division was placed under a Suba or governor.
When the Government learnt about the rapid growth of the movement, it saw
wisdom in removing the ban on the activities of the Kukas in 1869. This gave
further encouragement to them. Some of them made attacks on graves, marks of
cremation and Smadhs (memorials raised over cremation spots), all objects of
worship by superstitious people.
In 1871 a programme of attacks on slaughter-houses and butchers was
adopted. The slaughter-houses of Amritsar and Raj Kot were raided as a result of
which several butchers were killed at both the places. The assailants were traced
out and were hanged after summary trials. The most important attack was
however, reserved for Malerkotla in 1872, in the course of which the Kukas killed
10 men and wounded seventeen, their own losses being 8 killed and 31 wounded.
68 Kukas were rounded up. Out of them 65 were blown up from the mouths of
guns and one was cut to pieces by sword.
The years 1869 to 1872 were also marked by attempts on the part of Baba
Ram Singh to establish contacts with the Rulers of Nepal and Kashmir with a view
to strengthening his anti-British movement.
After the Malerkotla affair, the entire Kuka movement was outlawed, a
police post was set up at Bhaini, the headquarters of the movement, and all
prominent leaders including Baba Ram Singh were taken into custoday. Baba Ram
Singh was deported first to Allahabad and then to Burma and he remained there as
a state prisoner till his death in 1885.
During the period of his incarceration in Burma Ram Singh continued to
keep contact with his people in the Punjab through letters and personal messengers.
The main theme of his letters and messages was the prediction that they would soon
be free from the yoke of the ferangis (Britishers). Thinking that Russia was
opposed to the British empire in India, he sent a letter in Gurmukhi which was
addressed to the Russian Government. This letter was carried to Russia by a Kuka
Suba. Later on, this letter as well as the Russians reply to it fell into the hands of a
spy who handed them over to the British authorities.
RANBIR SINGH
Son of Lala Khushal Chand of the Daily Milap, who is now Shri Anand
Swami Saraswati (Sanyasi), Ranbir Singh was born in 1907 in Jalalpur Jattan,
District Gujarat (now in Pakistan). He got his education at D.A.V. School,
D.A.V. College and Law College all situated at Lahore. A prominent student as
he was, he was elected Secretary of the Lahore Students Union in 1926, and he
continued to occupy this office till 1930. In 1928 he was elected General Secretary
of the All-India Students Convention at Lahore which was presided over by Subash
Chandra Bose.
VIL INTRODUCTION
SAIFUDDIN KITCHLEW, Dr
His place of birth was Faridkot. After receiving early education in the
Punjab he went to the Cambridge University (England) wherefrom he passed his
B.A. examination. After that he received instruction in law and was duly called to
the bar. He took his Ph.D. from a German University.
On his return to India Dr Kitchlew started his legal practice at Rawalpindi
in 1913. From there he shifted to Amritsar in 1915. It was about this time that
he got interested in national politics and became a member of Mrs. Besant's Home
INTRODUCTION , IIIL
Rule movement. Other subjects which interested him most at that time were the
questions of Hindu-Muslim unity and Pan-Islamism. But until 1918 he was little
known and it was the anti-Rowlatt Bills agitation in 1919 that brought him into lime
light and made him the 'Hero of Jallianvvala Bagh\ Along with Dr Satyapal and
Lala Duni Chand of Lahore he addressed dozens of meetings in towns and cities of
the Punjab arousing the people's indignation against the Black Bills. He was
prohibited from speaking on 4th April, 1919. Six days later Dr Satyapal and
Dr Kitchlew were arrested and despatched to Dharamshala to be kept in detention
there. The result was that the situation in the city of Amritsar went out of control
and ended in the holocaust of 13th April, 1919 in the Jallianwala Bagh. Later, he
was tried under Section 124A of I.P.C. and sentenced to transportation for life. But
he was released on 26th December 1919 as the result of a Royal proclamation
declaring a general amnesty of political prisoners.
After his release Dr Kitchlew gave up his practice of law in order to be able
to participate more actively in the Khilafat and Congress movements. He became a
front rank leader of these oganizations and took prominent part in the non-
cooperation movement of 1921-22 and the Civil Disobedience movement of 1930-33.
During the Akali movement as well he took active part in the Jaito morcha
for which he was arrested on 21st February, 1924. In 1929 he seconded the famous
Lahore resolution pertaining to the demand of complete independence. In July,
1934, he observed a week's fast for the national cause. He was President of the
Punjab Provincial Congress for one term and member of the All-India Congress for
many long years. In all he spent about 14 years in jail.
After Independence his interest mainly centred round the issue of peace in the
world. He was President of the All-India Peace Council and member of the
World Peace Council. He was the first Indian to receive the Stallin Peace Prize.
City Congress Committee, and in that capacity he actively participated in the non-
cooperation movement. On account of that he was arrested and sentenced to three
years' imprisonment.
Later, Sant Ram was one of the chief figures in the anti-Simon Commission
demonstrations organized in the Punjab. He was General Secretary of the first
'War Council' organized in 1930 at Amritsar with Dr Kitchlew as its dictator. In
1931 he was arrested and sentenced to a two years* term for taking part in the Civil
Disobedience movement.
In 1937 he was elected to the Punjab Legislative Assembly and as legislator
served on a number of committees of the legislature. In 1940 he was imprisoned
for six months for delivering an 'objectionable' speech. He was again sent to jail
in 1941 while he was acting as Dictator of the Individual Satyagrah movement in
Amritsar. In 1942 he took active part in the Quit India movement, for which he
was kept in Mianwalijail for three years. During the period of his detention he
lost two young members of his family but refused to come out on parole. In 1946
he was again returned to the Punjab Assembly on Congress ticket.
During the disturbances of 1947 Sant Ram saved hundreds of Muslims in
distress and supplied them with rations even at great risk to his own life. He helped
Miss Mridula Sarabhai in the recovery of abducted women. He also rendered great
help in organizing refugee camps in Amritsar on that occasion. Earlier, he had
worked for the sufferers of Bihar and Queota earthquakes.
After Independence, he had serious differences with the Congress and
seceded from it. Thereafter, he paid his attention mainly to social work. As
President of the Harijan Sewak Sangh, Amritsar, he opened free schools for Harijan
boys and girls.

and sentenced to transportation for 5 years. But he did not have to complete the
hole term and was released after a year only.
In 1925 Sardul Singh presided over the Punjab Provincial Conference. In
1926 he resigned the membership of all Sikh organizations in order to devote
himself wholly to the national cause. In 1928 he was elected member of the
Congress Working Committee. This position he held for several years till he left
the Congress for good. . He acted as President of Indian National Congress in 1932
and 1933. He was sentenced four times in connection with the Civil Disobedience
movement.
In the closing years of the thirties he resigned his membership of the All-India
Congress Committee over the question of office acceptance and joined the Forward
Block of Subash Chander Bose. He was elected President of the Block after
Subash Chander surreptitiously left India in 1941. As such, he was charged with
having contact with Subash Chander Bose and being party to his plans and was
detained for four years under the Defence of India Rules. He resigned the
Presidentship of the Forward Block in 1948.
After Independence he ceased to be an active political leader. His death
occurred on 26th March, 1963.
He took keen interest in journalism and writing of books. His publications
include many religious and political tracts and books. His publications include
many religious and political tracts and books. Among them the most important
ones are : Non- Violent Non-Cooperation, The Sikh Studies, India's Fight for
Freedom, Gandhism versus Commonsense, Indian Politics and Successful Life
Insurance Agent.
SATYAPAL, Dr
A great pillar of Congress movement in the Punjab and a noted physician,
Surgeon and Dentist, Dr Satyapal was born in 1885. After passing the B.A.
examination of the Punjab University Lahore in 1902, he joined medical college and
passed the M.B. examination in 1908. Thereafter, he settled down as a medical
practitioner at Amritsar. When the first World War broke out, he left private
practice and got a Commission in the Indian Medical Service of the Indian Army.
At the time of his release from the army after the termination of the war, the
Punjab was in a state of great turmoil. The post-war economic discontent and the
anti-Indian Rowlatt Bills touched the deepest chord of his heart and he became an
ardent national leader. Along with Dr Kitchlew and Lala Duni Chand of Lahore
he went from town to town agitating against the Black Bills. When in 1918 trouble
arose at the Amritsar Railway Station over the refusal of railway authorities to
issue more platform tickets, he became leader of the agitation and President of the
Railway Grievances Committee and ultimately the demand of the people was
conceded.
L INTRODUCTION
Central jail. After the Gurdwara Act of 1925 was passed, the Punjab Government
offered conditional release to the Akali prisoners. Sewa Singh was one of those
who refused to be released on any condition. Ultimately, the Government yielded
and released him in 1926 without any condition.
But as soon as Sewa Singh stepped out of the Lahore Fort, he was arrested
by the Patiala police and detained in the Patiala jail. He was tried in the court of
Barnala on the charge of a minor theft (stealingof a gar\vi—a tiny round utensil) and
though the charge could not be proved, he was not released. This act of high-
handedness on the part of the State Ruler led to a fierce agitation in the State.
Baba Kharak Singh conducted a hurricane campaign throughout the State demand-
ing immediate release of the Thikriwala and condemning the State Government for
its arbitrariness. Inside the jail, Sewa Singh went on hunger-strike as a protests
against maltreatment by the jail officials. When his condition grew critical, he was
released on 24th August, 1928.
As soon as he was free, he threw himself headlong into the Praja Mandal
movement of which he had been elected President a little earlier. In 1929 he
attended the historic Congress Session at Lahore which declared complete
Independence to be the political goal of India. At the same time, a conference of
States' people was held in the Bradlaugh Hall. Sewa Singh acted as Chairman of
the Reception Committee on this occasion.
After some time, a conference of the Punjab Riasti Praja Mandal was held at
Ludhiana under the leadership of Sewa Singh. In 1930 he headed a deputation
which waited upon the Viceroy at Delhi and submitted to him a memorandum
regarding the atrocities of the Maharaja of Patiala. During the same year in
October a big gathering of the All-India States Peoples' Conference was held at
Ludhiana. Here, Sewa Singh, as Chairman of the Reception Committee, made a
historic speech which landed him in a Patiala State jail immediately after the
Conference. After the mockery of a trial he was sentenced to 5 years' imprisonment
and a fine of ten thousand rupees. He was, however, released after four months
by the Maharaja under pressure from the All-India Praja Mandal leaders.
When the Maharaja of Patiala saw the increasing popularity of the Praja
Mandal movement in the State, he started negotiations with Sewa Singh in 1931.
The negotiations however, broke down over the demand of Sewa Singh for an
elected assembly in the State. In July, 1931 he went to Simla to attend the third
conference of the Punjab Riasti Praja Mandal. The conference could not be
held on account of disturbances created by some hirelings of Patiala, but Sewa
Singh utilized the occasion to have a discussion with Mahatma Gandhi on the
problems of States'peoples.
Earlier in January, 1931 he had attended a meeting of the All-India Peoples'
Conference at Bombay. At this time he was also President of the Shiromani Akali
Dal. In November, 1932 he went to participate in a diwan to be organised at Jind
by the Akalis of Sangrur. The diwan was banned and the particular gurdwara
where it was to be held, was locked from outside. Sewa Singh was taken in police

custody but was released shortly after. In the same year he was arrested and
detained for a few months by the Malerkotla Government for his participation in
the celebrations oftheKothala Day Anniversary. At this place ten peasants had
been killed in police firing on 17th July, 1927.
On 15th May, 1932 he presided over an Akali Conference at Khudiala and
made a powerful speech. In April, 1933 he attended the fourth conference of the
Punjab Praja Mandal at Delhi and played an effective role in its proceedings. A
month and a quarter later he took part in a meeting of Praja Mandal leaders at
Amritsar where it was decided to send jathas of people to the office of the Lahore
Political Agent. In consequence, Sewa Singh was served with orders to quit
Amritsar immediately and not to enter the districts of Lahore and Amritsar for two
months. After that when he reached in Thikriwala, he was arrested by the Patiala
police on 25th August, 1933. Several charges were levelled against him but he
refused to defend himself. He was sentenced to 3 years' imprisonment and a fine of
Rs. 500 in the Khudiala Akali Conference Case. He had hardly been in jail for six
months when he went on hunger-strike as a protest against ill-treatment by the jail
authorities. The Government did not pay proper heed to his health and he died
on 20th January, 1935.

A leading Congressman of Rohtak, Lala Sham Lai was born on 12th August,
1883. He passed his Matriculation from the Rohtak High School and his B.A.
examination from the D.A.V. College, Lahore. Then he joined the Law College,
Lahore and took his degree in a law in 1905. Soon after he commenced his legal
practice at Rohtak and in a short time became a prominent leader of the Bar there.
In course of time Sham Lai was drawn towards the national movement and
founded the Rohtak District Congress Committee in 1917. He actively participated
in the agitation against the Rowlatt Bills in 1919 and later suspended his practice
to play an active part in the non-cooperation movement. Afterwards, he became
President of the Rohtak District Congress Committee, Member of the All-India
Congress Committee and Senior Vice-President of the Punjab Provincial Congress
Committee.
In 1930 he suspended his practice again and went to the Sabarmati Ashram
of Mahatma Gandhi. The same year he was tried for sedition and imprisoned for
nine months for taking part in the Civil Disobedience movement. After his release
he was put in charge of the Second Lahore Conspiracy Case as a Senior Counsel.
While arguing a revision petition in the High Court in connection with this case, he
was committed for contempt of court for having questioned the impartiality of the
judges and was asked to withdraw his statement. He took a bold stand and refused
to comply with the orders and asked the judges to punish him as they liked. He
was, however, spared the punishment.
Sham Lai also argued the Delhi Conspiracy Case in the High Court. Before
INTRODUCTION LIII
1937 he was the only Congress member of the Punjab Legislative Council.
He died an untimely death on account of heart failure on 6th January, 1940.
Lala Sham Lai was a staunch Gandhite. The famous revolutionary Gulab
Singh has written about him : "He represented an ideology different from mine.
He had all his life struggled and fought for the sake of our country in his own way-
Gandhi's way."
He was a close associate and friend of Lala Duni Chand of Lahore.
Tara Singh's pro-recruitment attitude. Shankar Singh was arrested in 1943 under
Defence of India Rules. From January 26 to May, 23 he was detained in Gobind-
garh Fort, Amritsar for interrogation. This was a period of severe torture for him.
After the investigation was over, he was sentenced to one year and four months'
rigorous imprisonment. From 24th May, 1943 to the end of October, 1943 he was
kept in the New Central jail, Multan and was treated as a security prisoner (Class
II). From November, 1943 to 14th October, 1944 he was detained in the Central
jail, Lahore as a Security prisoner (Class I).
From the time of his discharge from the Indian Army he was mostly
associated with gurdwara committees. To begin with, he was a parcharak
(missionary) of the S.G.P.C. (Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee). Then
for some years he served as Secretary, Parbandhak Committee of Sri Darbar Sahib,
Amritsar. From 1940 onwards, with a few brief intervals, he functioned as
Manager, Sri Darbar Sahib, Tarn Taran uptil 1954 when he left the Gurdwara
service. In May, 1955 he was appointed P.A. to Partap Singh Kairon and he
remained at that post till January, 1956. After that he served as P.A. to Mohan
Lai (Home Minister, Punjab) uptil July, 1959. The same year he was appointed
Supervisor, Public Relations in the Punjab administration.
leaders who met the Resident at Penang and successfully pleaded with him for grant
of necessary facilities for the Ghadrite passengers.
When the ship by which Sher Singh was travelling reached the port of Budge
Budge (Calcutta), he was immediately arrested along with many other leading figures
such as Jawala Singh Thathian and Nidhan Singh Chugha.
On being brought to Lahore he was confined in the Lahore Central jail.
Here he was tried in the First Lahore Conspiracy Case and sentenced to transpor-
tation for life and forfeiture of property.
After remaining in confinement for a period of 18 years in various jails,
mostly in the Andaman Islands (Kala Pani), he was released in 1933,
After his release he came under the influence of the Communist Party and
actively associated himself with the Kissan movement. In 1938 he took part in the
Kissan morcha organized against the revenue policy of the Unionist Minister in the
Punjab. On accout of this he was sentenced to one and a half years' imprisonment.
When the Second World War broke out, he together with other Communist
leaders was arrested and detained at the Deoli Camp jail (Rajasthan) in 1940. From
there he was finally released in 1943.
But he did not stop his activities. Both before and after Independence he
zealously carried on his work in the Kissan movement and took part in a number of
morchas organized by the Kissan Sabha.
As desired by the party, Sohan Singh left America even before the World
War broke out and returned to India as the head of a band of revolutionaries by the
ship Namsang following the Komagata Maru. He was commissioned, among
other things, to have contacts with the Komagata Maru passengers before their
arrival in India and to guide their activities and to form links with principal Indian
political leaders, revolutionaries and parties with a view to advancing the cause of
the Ghadar Party and to arrange for the supply of arms and weapons to the party
workers. He reached Calcutta in October, 1914 but was arrested immediately. He
was then tried and sentenced to death in the First Lahore Conspiracy Case. Later,
on appeal to the High Court the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. He
was released after 16 years.
In jail he went on hunger strike in 1929 in sympathy with Bhagat Singh and
his comrades. When Bhagat Singh tried to dissuade him on account of his old age,
M
he said, "What if the body looks old, the revolutionary in me is not old. Such
was the spirit he retained right till his death.
When he stepped out of prison in mid-thirties, he again plunged into political
activity. His first concern was to get the Ghadar prisoners released. Even so his
main interest henceforward lay in the welfare of peasants and he participated in
several Kissan morchas. This brought him closer to the Communist Party of India.
When the second World War started, he was arrested and sent to jail at the
Deoli Camp (Rajasthan). In 1943 he was released along with other detinue of
his party.
For the next twenty-five years of his life, he continued working for the Kissan
Sabha and the Communist Party of India. At one time he was President of the All-
India Kissan Sabha. He was so popular among its members that the Kissan Sabha
decided to honour him by holding a conference at his village Bhakna Kalan from
2nd to 4th April, 1943. It was sheer coincidence that Babaji had been released a
day earlier.
He died in December, 1968 when he was just one month short of 99 years
of age.
SOHAN SINGH J O S H
A veteran freedom-fighter, Sohan Singh Josh was born on 12th November,
1898 at village Chetanpura, District Amritsar. His father, Lai Singh, was keen on
the good schooling of his son, but the difficulty was that there was no school
nearby. Some years later when a school was opened, Sohan Singh, in spite of his
comparatively advanced age, got admission in it. Afterwards he passed the Middle
examination from a Church Mission School and the Matriculation from D.A.V.
LVIII INTRODUCTION
School, Amritsar. For higher education he joined the Khalsa College, Amritsar
but had to leave it soon after on account of financial difficulties.
Search for employment took him to Hubli and later to Bombay where he
worked up to 1918 in the Censor's office. Coming back to his native village he
began to work as a school teacher. But this was not for long, as his real interest
lay in the country's struggle for freedom. In 1921 when the Akali movement
started, he enthusiastically participated in it and travelled from village to village
preaching against the Government. For his seditious activities he was arrested and
tried in the Akali Leaders' Conspiracy Case and sentenced to three years' rigorous
imprisonment. At that time he was member of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parban-
dhak Committee and the Shiromani Akali Dal.
1916. Another great freedom-fighter who died with him on the gallows was
Harnam Singh Kahari Sahari.
SUDARSHAN, Seth
A great financier and leader of the Punjab Congress, Seth Sudarshan was
born at Jhansi in 1903. His father, Udho Prasad, was an engineer in the service of
the U.P. Government. Young Sudarshan had a rather chequered career as a
student. After studying for a while at Allahabad at the Convent School, he came
to Karnal from where he passed Matriculation examination of the Punjab University,
Lahore. Then he proceeded to the Government College, Lahore, but his studies
were cut short abruptly while he was a student of F.A. classes, by the untimely
death of his father in 1922.
Sudarshan's father who was zealous Arya Samajist, was also a staunch
nationalist. The son inherited his urge for nationalism from his father and at the
early age of 16 began to take an active part in the Rowlatt Bills agitation as an
Mart
ardent Congress volunteer. During the dark day of the " " ' *
he narrowly escaped death on three occasions.
The death of his father forced young Sudarshan to seek for himself a suitable
means of livelihood. The acquisition of a furniture shop in 1924 provided him with
an opening and he commenced his business career as a dealer in furniture. In 1925
he managed to obtain Tatas' agency for Jullundur and thus entered the iron and
steel trade which became his main business henceforward. By 1929, through sheer
hard work and force of character, he became a leading iron magnate of India and
was handling one of the largest agencies of the Tatas.
But his attachment to the Congress continued unabated and with his accession
to affluence he started helping the Congress financially. The Lahore Session of the
Congress in 1929 owed its success in a large measure to his munificence. He was a
great devotee of Madan Mohan Malviya and Lala Lajpat Rai. He turned his
thoughts to public life in 1930 when he was elect M
From 1937 to 1946 he was President of Jullundur District Congress Committee and
member of the Punjab Congress Working Committee. Like most national workers
of note he was arrested and kept in jail several times.
In 1937 he was elected to the Punjab Legislative Assembly and was appointed
Chief Whip of the Congress Party. During the elections of 1946 he was the chief
organizer of the Congress election campaign and it was largely through his untiring
efforts that the Congress won such a great success at the polls. His own election
was unopposed. At that time he was often called the ' Man
the 'brain behind the Congrees'. After the elections he played a major role in
installing a coalition ministry in the Punjab. It goes to his credit that he was made
Chief Whip of the Coalition Party in the Punjab Assembly.
During the Communal riots of 1947 he acted with admirable courage and

expedition and visited, at great risk to his own life, places like D. I. Khan, D. G.
Khan, Peshawar, Sargodha and Sheikhupura and rendered valuable and timely help
to large numbers of people in distress.
Partition (1947) hit his business very hard and he suffered enormously but
he braved the difficult situation in the same spirit in which he had faced his
difficulties earlier.
SUKHDEV
Son of Ram Lai, he was born at Lyallpur (now in Pakistan).
He was a member of the Revolutionary Party in Lahore and a close associate
of Bhagat Singh Shaheed. Like Bhagat Singh he took active part in revolutionary
activities and helped in organizing revolutionary cells in the Punjab and other areas
of North India. He was privy to the plot of shooting which resulted in the death
of Saunders, Assistant Superintendent of Police Lahore on December 17, 1928.
He was arrested at Delhi on April 15, 1929 after the bomb explosions in the
Central Legislative Assembly Hall by Bhagat Singh and B.K. Dutt. He was tried
as one of the Principal accused in the Second Lahore Conspiracy Case and was
sentenced to death. He died on the gallows in the Lahore jail on March 23, 1931
along with Bhagat Singh and Rajguru.
prepared by a committee presided over by Moti Lai Nehru, because he thought that
it denied a fair deal to his community. When in 1930 the Civil Disobedience
movement was launched by Mahatma Gandhi, he completely identified himself with
it. The news of the massacre at Peshawar in the Kissa Khani Bazar rudely shook
him and he immediately set out towards the Frontier at the head of a jatha of 100
people wholly clad in black. He was arrested at Lahore. While in jail, he was
elected President of the S.G.P.C. in absentia. From now onwards he became the
undisputed leader of the Sikh community. As President of the Shiromani Akali
Dal he had at his beck and call a strong and well-knit political organization to help
him to build up his supremacy among the Sikhs.
During the second World War he broke with the Congress not because his
enthusiasm for independence was any the less, but for the reason that he wanted to
safeguard the future of his community as against the Muslim League's demand for
Pakistan inclusive of the whole of the Punjab. He strongly opposed the Cripps
Proposals, and the Cabinet Mission Plan as they failed to do justice to the just and
legitimate demands of the Sikhs. His demand for Azad Punjab was conceived
mainly in the spirit of a counter-blast to the Muslim demand for Pakistan. It was
mainly due to his uncompromising attitude that East Punjab was saved for India at
the time of partition.
His struggle was not ended with Independence in 1947. He continued his
campaign for the protection of Punjabi language and a State to be carved out on
that basis. For this he was arrested several times, but his firm resolve for the
achievement of his object remained unaffected and though several agitations had
to be launched during the fifties and the sixties, the end was ultimately achieved
in 1966.
Master Tara Singh was reputed for his incorruptibility and even his worst
enemies had great regard for him. He died in November, 1967.
Son of a Sikh jat, Deva Singh, and a recognized Akali and Congress leader,
Teja Singh Samundri was born in 1881 at village Rai Ka Burj, District Amritsar.
When new land was granted at Samundri in District Lyallpur, the family shifted
there and hence the suffix Samundri came to be attached to his name. The father,
and after his death, Teja Singh was appointed Headman of the village. He received
some education in his childhood and later when he grew to manhood, he joined the
Indian Army in Risala No. 22 where he was soon promoted to the position of
Instructor. But he did not like to serve in the army and resigned after three years.
Then he joined the Chief Khalsa Diwan and established at his own village a
branch of it called Khalsa Diwan Samundri and engaged himself zealously in
propagating Sikh religion. Shortly after, he set up the Khalsa Diwan Bar which
was a larger organization but with similar aims and objects. Being deeply interested
INTRODUCTION LXIII
But Tilak Raj was not merely a scholar. He was also a revolutionary
leader and organizer all through his college career. He participated in meetings,
demonstrations, processions and strikes and when necessary, worked underground.
He was one of the founders of the Socialist Party in the Punjab in 1934.
After 1937 he became a lecturer in the D.A.V. College, Rawalpindi with
the party's permission. While in service there he organized the student front of the
Socialist Party. In 1939, he resigned and went underground to work for the
anti-British movement of the Socialists. But he was caught hold of in 1941 and
detained for a period of five years. While in jail, he was elected unopposed to the
Punjab Legislative Assembly.
Since 1946 he has been a whole-time worker of the Socialist Party. Uptil
Partition he edited the Bande Matram in Lahore. Then he shifted to Delhi and
edited the same paper from there till 1948 when the Socialists broke off their
relations with the Congress and its paper, Bande Matram.
After the parting of ways between the two parties, Congress and Socialist,
Tilak Raj resigned his seat in the Assembly and came to Jullundur to organize
there the State Office of his party. As a first step in the programme, he brought
out a new newspaper called Naya Punjab.
Since then he was devoted himself whole-heartedly to the promotion of
socialism in the country. On several occasions he has worked as State Secretary
of the Socialist Party. But though a sincere and devoted Socialist worker, yet his
efforts have failed to produce any lasting results, mainly for the reason that in the
top echelons of the party the requisite unity and cohesion has been lacking.
UDHAM SINGH
Udham Singh was born on 26th December, 1899 in Sunam (then in Patiala
State). He became orphan when he was merely a child. At the age of two his
mother died and his father, Tehal Singh, breathed his last five years later. He was
brought up in the orphanage of Amritsar where he received his early education.
He witnessed another tragedy in the death of his elder brother Sadhu Singh when
he was only 19 years of age. Having thus suffered at the hands of Fate, he
developed an intensely emotional character. He could not bear the sufferings
of others.
The Jallianwala Bagh tragedy was a turning point in his life. After General
Dwyer had massacred a wholly unarmed gathering. Udham Singh went to the
Bagh to rescue the husband of one Shrimati Ratna Devi. While identifying the dead
body of the person, he himself received a bullet shot in the right arm. He was
deeply moved by this bloody scene and took a solemn pledge to inflict a suitable
penalty on the main culprit, the Governor of the Punjab, Sir Michael O' Dwyer.
He soon managed to leave for America. From there he went to the
U.S.A. where he got interested in revolutionary activities. On receiving an
invitation from Bhagat Singh he returned to India with 25 companians and arms.

in the Patiala State for the release of Sewa Singh Thikriwala. After his release
from jail he actively worked for the Praja Mandal as a loyal follower of Sewa
Singh. In 1932 he was arrested at adiwan at Dhuri for a seditious speech against the
State and was sentenced to two years' rigorous imprisonment. He was subjected
to severe tortures in jail.
In 1941 Wazir Singh was arrested at Samana for apprehension of breach of
peace and detained for a few months in the Patiala jail.

instituted cases against a number of organizers of the rally. In 1940 the same
Congrees Committee launched a flag satyagraha. Zail Singh was now arrested
and sentenced to five years' imprisonment. He was released after the Second
World War in 1945.
The most spectacular work of Giani Zail Singh as a freedom-fighter,
however, was his struggle of 1948 in which he formed a parallel government and
besieged the State Secretariat of Faridkot. This was a big shot in the arm for his
political career and at once secured for him a front-rank positition among the
Congreess leaders from the Punjab States.
Since 1947 he held a number of important positions. In Pepsu he was
Minister of Revenue in 1948-49 and Minister of P.O.W. and Agriculture in 1951-
52. After the merger of Pepsu with the Punjab, he was Vice-President of the
Punjab Pradesh Committee in 1956-58 and member of the Rajya Sabha from 1956-
1962. In 1971 he was elected to the Punjab Assembly followed by his re-election
to the same body in 1972 on 17th March, 1972 he took over as the Chief Minister
of the Punjab, and remained in this position upto 1977. Giani Zail Singh had to
face many tribulations between 1977 to 1980—the period when the Congress was out
of power. In 1980, he won from Hoshiarpur to Parliament and became Minister
for Home Affairs, Govt, of India. From June 1982, to July 1987 he remained as
the President of India. After 1987, he has been leading an active civic life in Delhi.
