First of the two volumes to be brought out

on 'Who's Who of Punjab Freedom Fighters',


the book offers to the world the fruit of
several years of hard and painstaking labour by
a team of devoted scholars. A monumental
work by any standard, it contains approxima-
tely seventeen thousand entries relating to the
people of this region who, in one way or an-
other, contributed their mite in the sacred cause
of the country's freedom from the yoke of
British imperialism. For patriots of note among
them somewhat detailed notes have been given
in the earlier portion of the book.
A comprehensive introduction has been added
which focuses the broad milestones in the his-
tory of freedom movement in the Punjab and
provides the necessary background for the pro-
per understanding of the role of individual
freedom fighters.
The work, probably the first of its kind in
India up to date, has the merit of furnishing a
sure and authentic basis to gauge the extent of
Punjabi people's participation in the national
movement.

jab State Archives under the supervision of Shri V. S. Suri collected infor-
mation and compiled the names. In November 1967 the Department of
Punjab Historical Studies of the Punjabi University was entrusted wdth the
task. It processed, scrutinised and added fresh information and finally
prepared the press copy for publication. I am glad that a very stupendous
task has been accomplished by this Department under the able supervi-
sion of Dr Fauja Singh. I congratulate the scholarly team which has
worked hard to bring it to completion.

The term Punjab has been used here in a very wide sense. It inclu-
des the entire north-western regions from Jamuna in the east to Peshawar
in the west and from Himalayas in the north to Sind and Bahawalpur in
the south. Besides the British-ruled territories in this region Indian states
of the eastern Punjab have also been included. And this is as it ought to
be, because historically speaking the present political boundaries have no
relevance. All the same, I am sure that this project will prepare the ground
for our other project, namely 'History of the Freedom Movement in the
Punjab'. Actually, both these projects are inter-dependent and also comp-
lementary to each other. The other project has been undertaken and is
likely to be accomplished within the next two years or so.

All available sources have been tapped to procure information and


every effort has been made to minimise duplication and errors. Yet it is
possible that there may be certain errors of ommission and commission
for which the indulgence of the readers in sincerely craved.

In the end I must express my sincere thanks to the Punjab Govern-


ment which not only financed the project but also provided broad outlines
for the work. I also thank the Punjab State Archives which did the much-
valued ground-work of the project.

EDITOR'S NOTE

As a supplement to the History of Freedom Movement in India,


which project was undertaken in early fifties, it was proposed by the
Government of India to bring out a "Who's Who of Freedom Fighters"
including, as the late Mr. Humayun Kabir urged, "as far as possible, every
person who participated in the national struggle and about whom we
have reference". The object of undertaking such a stupendous project,
besides being historical, was to express the nation's gratitude to those
who struggled for its independence, and to preserve their names to be re-
membered by posterity. All the State Governments were, therefore, ad-
vised by the Union Government to take up this work with promptitude
and in right earnestness.

On the instructions of the Union Government, in 1960 the Punjab


Government constituted a committee, called the Punjab State Committee,
to undertake this gigantic project. Later on in 1961, on the advice of this
committee the task was entrusted to the Punjab State Archives, Patiala.
In April 1962 a separate cell was created for the purpose consisting of an
editor and some compilers and typists. The cell worked under the direct
control and supervision of the Director, Punjab State Archives, Shri V. S.
Suri, till November, 1967 when the assignment was transfered to the
Department of Punjab Historical Studies, Punjabi University, Patiala.
The cell accomplished a major portion of the task by collecting informa-
tion and preparing individual biographical cards of most of the freedom
fighters on a set pattern. Since 1967 our Department has been working
hard on the project. Fresh information has been added where it was con-
sidered inadequate. The list of freedom fighters has been made more
comprehensive by incorporating several new names which had earlier,
somehow or other, escaped attention. Before finalizing the entries, each
one of them was verified with as much care as possible.

The ramifications of the freedom struggle of India being very wide, the
project was bound to be a challenging one. It was challenging for the
time-span covered by the movement stretching practically over a whole
century; for the huge number of people involved in it, drawn from Bri-
tish India as well as Indian India; and for the reason that often movements

commencing regionally tended to merge themselves, partially or wholly,
in the mainstream of the national movement. The difficulties such as

created problems in the the


data. In many of the cases, the information was widely scattered and
almost unknown.

In the beginning of the work a somewhat lengthy introduction has


been given with the object of presenting a connected story of the national
movement by way of historical background. Besides, a separate account
of the minor movements and incidents to which references occur in the
biographical sketches contained in the book has been given. It is hoped
that the introduction combined with the account of the minor movements
will greatly facilitate the understanding of our heroes' achievements.

In the end I must thank all those who have, in one way or another,
contributed to the successful conclusion of this difficult project. My
acknowledgements are particularly due to the Punjab Government which
not only sponsored and initiated the project but also financed it over a
long period; to the Punjab State Committee set up for the purpose which
laid down guide-lines for the pursuit of the project; to the Punjab State
Archives which under the able leadership of its Director, Mr. V. S. Suri,
completed a considerable portion of the work; to Vice-Chancellor Sardar
Kirpal Singh Narang whose lively and sustained interest in the project was
always a great source of inspiration; to my colleagues in the Department
of Punjab Historical Studies, particularly Dr. C. L. Datta, Dr. S. K. Bajaj,
Shri Gursharan Singh and Shri M . S . Ahluwalia who worked with great
devotion to bring the project to an early completion; and to Sh. Harinder
Singh, Sh. R. K. Gupta and Sh. Sant Kumar, all members of my ad-

INTRODUCTION
i
(1840 - 1900)

Freedom struggle in the Punjab presents the spectrum of a growing


popular participation in the movement. Starting with sporadic and sponta-
neous outbursts against the British, it gradually emerged as a national
movement with the objective of obtaining independence, which aim was
ultimately attained in 1947. As it evolved and grew wider and wider
in scope, it projected varied ideological currents ranging from reformation
to revolution, from gun-barrel philosophy of the terrorists to Gandhian
non-violence, from aristocratic protests to peasant outbursts, and from
fanatic religious zeal to glorious national sentiments - all converging upon
the single aim of achieving freedom of the mother-land, India, from
foreign yoke.
The origin of freedom movement in the Punjab may be traced back
to the intregnum between the two Anglo-Sikh wars, 1846-48, if not earlier.
As the foreigners, once the foothold was gained, manoeuvred to become
virtual rulers of the Punjab, the Sikhs under the leadership of Dewan Mul-
i

raj, Chattar Singh Atariwala, Sher Singh Atariwala and Bhai Maharaj
Singh made a formidable bid to liberate their country from the iron clutches
of the British. Failing in their attempt they surrendered in 1849 and thus
the Punjab was annexed. However, Bhai Maharaj Singh refused to bow
down. He planned to secure stealthily the person or Maharaja Dalip
Singh and to raise a rebellion in his name in the Bist-Jullundur Doab.
Although his early arrest foiled his attempts, he had attained a measure
of success in his plan before he was deported to Singapore as a life-long
prisoner.

is based on the fact that the Sikhs e to the British during
the revolt of 1857. Even accepting p alidity

fNTKODUCTlON

The Sikhs' assistance to the British has been misunderstood. In fact, by


and large tire people in the Punjab viewed the British Government with
distrust and resentment. Disarming of the entire Punjabi population had
left them bereft of the means of self-defence. Many of the Sikh dignitaries
who had taken part in the fighting against the British were languishing
in prison; many others were living under humiliating conditions. The
lands of the Jagirdars had been considerably cut down. The Khalsa Army
having been disbanded, a large number of the erstwhile soldiers had
been driven to the plough. Land revenue had been, no doubt, reduced,
but the benefit accruing from the reduction was completely neutralized by
the Government's insistence on its payment in cash only. Steep fall in
prices more than cancelled the profit from good harvests. Under such
conditions, payment of land revenue in cash was almost an impossible
task, so that the state demand had to be reduced more than once. Social
reforms carried out by the state agency injured the religious susceptibili-
ties of the Hindus and the Sikhs, Likewise, schools and hospitals set up
by the new rulers were suspected of being the agencies to convert people
to Christianity. Their suspicions were rather strengthened because of the
intensive proselytising drive of the Christians and the active support of
the provincial administrative authorities in this connection John Lawrence
was a zealous patron of Christian missions and contributed to them a
sum of Rs. 500 annually out of his own pocket. Amongst those who got
converted, the most notable was Maharaja Dilip Singh.
Among the other communities of the Punjab, the Hindus were as
indignant as the Sikhs about the activities of the missionaries and state
interference in their religious beliefs, though in the case of the Sikhs it
may be said that their bitterness was deeper on account of the loss of the
political power and privilege they had suffered only recently. The Mus-
- - - • - - *

lims, however, were favoured by the British as against both the Hindus
and the Sikhs. But at the same time the Mussalmans of India were passing
through a most critical period of their history. Utterly disappointed with
the British Indian Government, they had launched the Wahabi movement
to oust the British from the country. The Mussalmans of the Punjab could
not wholly escape the despondency overhanging the minds of their co-
religionists from the rest of the country.
Such was the state of affairs in the Punjab when the revolt of 1857
broke out. This revolt was engineered by the sepoys of the Bengal Army
of the East India Company. As they had assisted the British to conquer
{he Punjab and as also they constituted a greater part of the army of
occupation in the land, they could not invoke the sympathy of the Sikhs
or Punjabis in general for their cause. Nor could the appeals of the Mu-
ghal Emperor lately restored to power have any effect on their minds.
Nevertheless, they did envisage restoration of the independence of Khalsa
Kingdom which is so evident in the Parliamentary Paper No. 238 of 1859
INTRODUCTION XIII

It unequivocally expresses the apprehension of the authorities: "Universal


revolt in the Punjab would have broken out, if Delhi had not fallen soon
into our hands." It further states that as the detachment after detachment
was moving towards Delhi from Punjab, and contonment after conton-
ment was being vacated, "then, Punjabis realized how isolated they were
from the rest of India. Then their minds passed from confidence to doubt,
then to mistrust and then to disaffection. The last symptom had begun
to appear when Delhi fell." As early as 18 May 1857, John Lawrence had
apprehended an uprising in the Punjab. He had once demurred, "I re-
collect their (Sikh) strong nationality, how completely they were demora-
lized for some twelve years before annexation; and how much they have
5
to gain by our ruin."
During this period of crisis, the Punjabis exhibited utter apathy. This
fact (may be explained by several factors. Disarmed as they were, die
Punjabi soldiers could not act promptly, particularly in the absence of
competent and imaginative leadership. It may conveniently be surmised
that had the administration of John Lawrence been a little less watchful,
it was quite likely that the Punjabis would have risen in revolt against
the foreigners. Another important reason for such a state of affairs in die
Punjab was the timely assistance afforded to the British by the Cis-Satluj
Sikh States and influential Punjabi chieftains. The attitude though not
different from the one displayed during the Anglo-Sikh wars, was certainly
demoralising. Moreover, some mercenary elements took advantage of
the opportunity and joined the British armed forces to fight against the
Hindustani rebels. Even so, it was only after the fall of Delhi that they
began to come in for recruitment in the British army in large numbers.
All the same, it is quite significant that despite Government's vigi-
lance and suppressive measures, some sporadic incidents happened in the
Punjab symptomizing the agitated minds of the Punjabis. At Amritsar a
large number of Bairagees were arrested and locked up. One Brahmin
there, named Radha Kishan, was publicly hanged. Many Sikh soldiers
were hanged for their anti-British activities. At Ludhiana people not
only sympathised with the mutineers but also collected arms which were
later seized by the Government. No less than twenty two persons were
sentenced to death. At Ferozepur a Sadhu named Sham Dass collected
2
some followers with "treasonable intent." He was executed and his follo-
wers were attacked and killed. Raja Pratap Chand of Kangra was also
executed with five others. At Rupar, Mohur Singh, a Sikh, declared Bri-
tish rule at an end, ordered the end of cow-slaughter and proclaimed the
Khalsa Raj. He alongwith two others was executed. At Sialkot: "Even

the Punjabee military police revolted. Treasury was looted, a 12-pounder


gun taken away and the magazines blown up. The villages of the neigh-
bourhood also revolted and entered the city. Many village leaders were
3
executed and about fifty of the villagers were flogged." An uprising of
a considerable magnitude was raised at Googaira, south of Lahore, by
wild and predatory tribes. Insurgents numbering one lakh and twenty-five
thousand were a hardy, brave and athletic race of pastoral habits. They
4
"were fired by the idea of extinction" of the British rule . They cut off
the imperial communication with Bombay and their rising affected the
*

whole of the Multan region.


It took about twenty five days for 1500 troops of the Government
to put down the insurgents. On the north-west frontier, outbreaks
occured at Naushehra and Mardan. The people of Peshawar were suspec-
ted of conspiring to strike against the British during the Id festival. As
regards the territoiy lying between Ambala and Delhi, the British autho-
rity, for some time at least, practically disappeared. The Nawabs of
Jhajjar and Dadree and the Raja of Ballabgarh threw in their lot with the
Mutineers. When the revolt was finally put down, the whole of this affec-
ted area was penalized by annexing it to the Punjab.
After the storm was over, the victors generously rewarded their sup-
porters in the Punjab. The rulers of the various Sikh states and all those
Sikh leaders who had given assistance in the hour of need were awarded
titles and their territorial possessions were enlarged. Moreover, the old
recruitment policy, which had resulted in the predominance of the Hindus-
tani sepoys in the Bengal Army, was completely abandoned and a new
policy in this regard was devised which, along with the Pathans, Punjabi
Musalmans, Rajputs, Jats, Gurkhas and Dogras, declared the Sikhs a martial
race worthy of preferential treatment in recruitment to the armed forces.
Nevertheless, the core of the Sikh and the Hindu community continued
to nurture distrust and resentment towards the foreign rulers which soon
after the Revolt of 1857 erupted in the popular movement called the Kuka
Movement under the leadership of Baba Ram Singh, a carpenter-saint of
the village Bhaini, District Ludhiana. It is, however, interesting to note
that the new leadership in the Punjab, as in other parts of the country,
emerged from the lower middle classes, upper classes having everywhere
succumbed to either power or temptations of the British.
Inspired by Baba Balak Singh, a prominent saint of Hazro (District
of Campbellpur), Baba Ram Singh, like his master, felt deeply concerned
about the rapid decadence in the social and religious morals of the Sikhs.
Disgusted with the vicious atmosphere of intrigues and counter-intrigues
that set in after the death of Ranjit Singh in 1839, Baba Ram Singh left his

service in the Khalsa Army in 1845 and went home. After the Annexation,
salandrous propaganda of the Christian missionaries against Indian reli-
gions and die setting-up of a string of slaughter-houses for the supply of
beef, a phenomenon strictly forbidden under the Khalsa regime, made the
Hindus and the Sikhs realize what a heavy loss they had suffered by losing
independence.
The extremely sensitive mind of Baba Ram Singh could not approve
of the new cultural influences, as they were not only pernicious but also
harmful to their culture. Nor could he leave the society to its fate, be-
cause it had sunk deep in the morass of evil social and religious practices
which had produced highly devitalising effects on the people.
After pondering for many years over the problems facing the people,
Baba Ram Singh devised a plan to revive the glorious traditions of the
Khalsa of Guru Gobind Singh's days. By gathering a few companions to
whom he administered Khande di Pahul (nectar of the double-edged
sword), he set up the neucleus of his organisation in 1857. A strict code
of discipline was laid down for the members of the new organization which
was termed the Sant Khalsa so as to distinguish it from the body of rou-
tine Sikhs. According to this code, the members were required to lead
pure and clean lives attuned to the Name of God, to develop regular and
disciplined habits, and to shun such social customs as female infanticide,
child marriage etc. To inculcate martial spirit in the devotees, the code
prescribed group-recitation of Chandi di Var (a martial composition by
Guru Gobind Singh) to the accompaniment of Havan (a ceremony of
pouring of ghee on burning flames). As the wearing of Kirpans was for-
bidden, the members of the new fraternity were enjoined upon to bear
lathis:
As regards the organizational set-up, Baba Ram Singh appointed Subas
(governors) to collect funds for the Sant Khalsa. By imparting military
training to youngmen, he built up a para-military organization. His fol-
lowers were popularly known as Kukas, because when assembled at reli-
gious congregations, they used to emit lound shrieks (Kuks). As a stroke
of strategy, they avoided the official postal arrangements and, in fact, reli-
ed on their own sowars for the purposes of communication. They also
avoided the official courts and used the good offices of their local pan-
chayats for the settlement of their mutual disputes. They were also in-
structed to send their children to the local Pathshalas where education in
the mother tongue was imparted, instead of the newly established govern-
ment schools which had the Western system of education.
The Kuka movement made strides and soon attracted the attention of
the authorities. Baba Ram Singh travelled widely in the Punjab with a
long entourage of his followers in die manner of a chief. Wherever he
went, he administered Pahul, admitted new members to his fraternity,
condemned princes and chieftains and denounced idolatry and casteism.

XVI INTRODUCTION

By 1863 he had built up a well-knit following running into several thousand,


who regarded their leader as a reincarnation of Guru Gobind Singh, the
founder of the Khalsa.
As the movement grew in strength, its anti-British character crystaliz-
ed. With the increasing popularity of this movement, the Government
began to take a very serious view of it. Several restrictions were imposed
upon Baba Ram Singh and his followers. The Baba himseif was now not
allowed to move out of his village Bhaini. These restrictions produced an
electrifying effect and boosted both the morale and numbers of the Kukas.
Realizing their mistake, the Government removed all restrictions in 1867.
Having got the freedom of movement, the Kukas intensified their
activities. buthchers of Amritsar and Raikot In
the Amritsar case four Kukas were hanged and two sentenced to trans-
portation for life. In the Raikot case four more Kukas were hanged. A
few months later, bigger raids were organized on Malout and Malerkotla
with the motive of acquiring weapons. All the raiders were immediately
rounded up. Leaving two ladies who were released, seventy-five of them
were blown off from the mouths of cannon, one was hacked to pieces and
two were transported for life. The Kuka headquarters at Bhaini was
placed under police surveillance. Most of the Subas were banished. Ram
Singh himself was exiled to Burma where he died in 1885. Meanwhile,
attempts were made to establish contacts with Nepal and Kashmir. But
due to the pusillanimity of the rulers concerned, the attempts achieved
little success. Similar overtures were made after 1872 towards Russia. A
Kuka Sub a who visited central Asia manv a time, tried to t>ersuade Russia
to invade India to help the Kukas in expelling the British from India.
m*

During the eighties of the last century, there were signs of another storm
Maharaja Dalip Singh had reached Moscow. This fact as well as the
circulation of certain prophecies among the Kukas raised their hopes high
for the forthcoming years. Budh Singh, the younger brother of Baba Ram
Singh, was the main motive force behind the revived activity of the Kukas.
But due to the factors, such as liberal employment of the Sikhs in the
army, support of the Sikh literate elite and landed aristocracy to the British
and the vigilance of the Government, the movement once again failed to
make any appreciable mark.
But the Kuka movement made a significant impact on the outlook of
the people of the Punjab. Some of the Ghadr leaders, like Sohan Singh
Bhakna. were inspired by the glorious sacrifices of the Kukas or Namdhari
Sikhs. Later on when the Congress assumed importance in the Punjab, it
Owed much of its success in the region to the support of the Namdharis.
Soon after the Kuka movement had passed its meridian, liberal sec-
tions of the Sikh community, under the influence of Western ideas, tried
to reinterpret Sikhism so as to make it consistent with their modern scien-
tific outlook. Naturally, the Singh Sabhd movement, as the new attemnt
INTRODUCTION XVII

came to be known, tried to purge the Sikh creed of all such beliefs and
practices as, with the passage of time, had become an integral part of the
Sikh doctrine. The agency of the new educational system was used by
them to bring about social and religious improvement. Thus, the Singh
Sabha movement created a sense of cultural awareness as well as identifica-
tion, thereby furnishing a base for future progress. But this movement in
its early years enjoyed the support and favour of the British Government.
The leaders of the movement, whether drawn from the upper class or
belonging to the English—educated intelligentsia, did not relish the idea
of joining any national activity; rather their prudence lay in securing bene-
fits for the community through official patronage. All the same, the
significance of the movement lies in this that it gave a new leaven to the
society and in spite of its leadership paved the way for national resurgence
later on.
The other major communities of the Punjab, the Hindus and the
Muslims, underwent a similar process of reorientation. The Dev Samaj,
Brahmo Samaj and Arya Samaj were the predominant reform mov-
ments of the Hindu community of the Punjab. The first, headed by Shri
Anand Agnihotri, emphasized the ideas of social work and ethical excel-
lence. However, it had a very limited impact on the society. The Brahmo
Samaj having originated and developed in Bengal was introduced into the
Punjab by Keshab Chandra Sen and Surendranath Banerjee. Credit may
also be given to the Bengali babus in the service of the Punjab Govern-
ment, such as Pratap Chandra Mazumdar and Navin Chandra, for popu-
larising this monotheistic creed in the Punjab. Epitomising what is the
best in all religions, it presented a reformed and modernized form of
Hinduism which could adequately meet the challenge of the Christian mis-
sionaries. Emphasizing the unity of God and mankind, it projected re^
ligion as a universal force and at the same time assisted in moulding a
national outlook.
The movement which was destined to play a militant role in the
Punjab and which overshadowed the other two Hindu movements was
the Arya Samaj of Swami Daya Nand, founded in 1875. To revitalise the
society from within, Swami Daya Nand preached the pure Indian religion
as enunciated in the Vedas. He rejected all subsequent beliefs and prac-
tices, because they were not part of the original religion and were incor-
porated much later. The Arya Samaj attacked the activities of the
Christ'an and Muslim missionaries and advocated readmission of the con-
verts into the Hindu fold by means of Shudi. a ceremony of purification.
As a result of this element in the teachings of the Arya Samaj, a spirit of
militancy inevitably entered into its ranks. The movement, though it
had no direct concern with political affairs, provided a strong national,
emotional and cultural base to counteract the Western influences.
Starting with a deep-rooted prejudice against the foreign rulers, the
XVIII INTRODUCTION

Muslims launched a revivalist movement, called Wahabi movement, to


darfture political power by ousting the English from the land. The
leaders of the Wahabi movement continued their struggle even after the
suppression of the Revolt of 1857. Gradually, this movement lost its
vigour and faded away dn the same manner in which its contemporary
Kuka movement did. After its failure, the educated Muslims changed
their attitude towards the British Government and took to Western educa-
tion as a means of improving the lot of their community. Politically,
they shed off their traditional hostility to the British and became their
loyal subjects,—thinking that their new policy would enable them to serve
the interests of their community better. The new attitude was reflected
in the Aligarh movement of Sir Sayyad Ahmed Khan. In the Punjab, the
new attitude was reflected in the Ahmadiya movement started by Mirza
Ghulam Ahmed of Qadian of Gurdaspur District in 1889. This move-
ment was paralleld by a few other Muslim movements which collectively
crave a new orientation to the Muslim community. The new outlook that

The process of socio-religious transformation released by the reform


movements of the last quarter of the nineteenth century dn the Punjab
had prepared the people for a new phase of militant national activity.
The cultural revolution in the Punjab had produced a powerful educated
middle class. The members of this class were vitally influenced by the
contemporary events, such as the Russian defeat at the hands of Japan
(a tiny Asian country) and the partition of Bengal. Thev had also imbib-
5
ed feelings of patriotism from the vast amount of local literature produc-
ed during the period. In a situation like this, it was not unlikely that
the misdirected policies of the Government should provide the ground
for an awakening among the common people and a popular agitation.
One such policy was to pass a bill regarding the new colonies of the
Punjab.
After having annoyed the commercial elements and the money-
lenders by the Land Alienation Act, 1901, the Punjab Government raised
the irrigation rates in the Bari Doab Canal Colonies, perhaps to secure
its so-called rightful share of increase in the yield of cotton and sugar-
cane due to improved irrigational facilities. By the end of 1906, the
Punjab Government had also decided to tailor the rights of the cultivators

with the avowed intention of reducing them to the position of tenants.


The result was the rise of a popular agrarian agitation. In early 1907,
public meetings were held in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Amritsar, Gurdaspur,
and Lyallpur to demonstrate public resentment to the official Bill brought
forth to effect the changes desired by the Government. In one of the
meetings at Lyallpur, Lala Lajpat Rai, vindicating the claim of the
6
peasants to legitimate ownership of land, said:
"Wherefrom did the Government bring these lands?. The blood of
our fore-fathers was shed on it; we conquered it and inhabited it; these
lands are therefore either ours or God's . . .Government officials are
servants to serve us and not to rule us. Do not fear the jails nor
death."
Ajit Singh, another fiery orator, who spoke in this meeting, gave a call
7
for revolt. He told his country men that three hundred million Indians
could easily defeat the hundred and fifty thousand Englishmen in India.
The soul-stirring song 'Pagri Sambhal Jatta' composed by Banke Dyal in-
voked self-respect in the Punjabi peasant. With the prosecution and clo-
sure of the Punjabee and the threatened enhancement of revenue by twenty
five per cent, the movement spread rapidly leading to the first agrarian
movement of a considerable size. At Rawalpindi Ajit Singh made another
appeal for the non-payment of the enhanced cess and called upon the pea-
santry to stop cultivation. The President of the meeting, Lala Hans Raj,
thinking that Ajit Singh by his severe criticism of the government was inci-
ting violence, tried to stop him. Feeling hurt, Ajit Singh left the meeting
immediatly. Three lawyers, the President Gurdas Ram and Amolak, were
served with notices summoning them to appear before the court. They
were prosecuted for preaching sedition. Besides, six of their compatriots
were arrested and put behind the bars. They all languished in jails. On
2nd May people observed a complete hartal and gathered in the compound
of District Court of Rawalpindi. Their numbers fast swelled on account of
the fact that there was a simultaneous strike in the Government arsenal,
the Railway workshop and a private workshop. When the Magistrate re-
fused to cancel the proceedings, the crowd broke into violence and destro-
yed the furniture of the court. Even the houses of European officers
were not spared.
The cumulative effect of the British action was the rapid spread of
discontent in the province. A very significant development was the forma-
tion of the Anjuman-i-Muhibban-i-Watan, popularly known as the Bharat
Mata Society. Its important members were Ajit Singh, Sufi Amba Prasad
and Lai Chand Falak. Prolific writers and fiery orators as they were, they
inculcated the idea of nationalism in the minds of the people through press
as well as platform.

the close liaison between the two The imminent celebration of the Gol-
den Jubilee of the Revolt of 1857 and the sympathies of the Sikh infantry

with the disaffected, made the Government apprehensive of the existence


of a popular revolt. Suspecting that Lala Lajpat Rai was the brain behind,
and Ajit Singh, the principal agent, the Government deported the former
and whisked away the latter to Mandlay. In due course of time, the move-
ment abated partly due to the repressive measures of the Government but
f

primarily due to the vetoing of the Colonisation Bill by the Governor-Gene-


ral. Moreover, the plans of the revolutionaries were forestalled by an offi-
i
cial raid upon the Tilak Press, Hoshiarpur, in which much of their secret
literature was captured by the Government.
The period from 1909 to 1913 was of comparative quietitude. How-
ever, it was like a lull before the storm. On the national plane, many
events of great significance took place during this period. So far as the
Punjab was concerned, the rise of the Ghadar movement soon after the out-
break of the First World War imparted a new dimension to political
activities of the people.
The Ghadar Movement
Pressed by the necessity to earn their livelihood, Punjab peasants
migrated to far and near countries of Asia and America, where they esta-
blished themselves as cultivators and labourers. After a few years of Pun-
jabis' stay there, the Canadian and American authorities began to appre-
hend adverse economic and social effects for their own countries from these
foreign elements. Consequently, the Punjabis began to experience great
difficulties from the native people. Partial treatment and unnecessary offi-
cial restrictions, to count only a few, were the factors which forced the
Punjabis abroad, in sheer self-defence, to organize themselves. To their
great chagrin and utter disappointment even the British Indian Govern-
ment, whom they had faithfully served for sixty years, refused to- help
them. Their anti-White and anti-British feelings were further accentuated
by the propaganda of the Russian communists who had sought shelter
there from the Tzarist regime and of the German spies who had infiltrated
into the U.S.A. and Canada. Acting upon the radical advice given to them
by Lala Lajpat Rai, Ajit Singh, Bhai Parmanand, Barkatullah and Har-
dyal, they organized themselves into the Ghadar Party to liberate their
motherland, by force if necessary.
At the Washington meeting of the Indians in the summer of 1913,
the Ghadar Party came into existence under the banner of the Hindustani
Workers of the Pacific Coast with Bhai Sohan Singh Bhakna as its Presi-
dent and Hardyal as its Secretary. Soon, the organization shifted its head-
quarters to San Francisco from where they brought out its journal named
the Ghadar (meaning revolt) in three Indian languages — Urdu, Punjabi
"> and Gujarati. Much of the popularity of this newspaper may be explained

Its columns listed crimes perpetrated by the British in India and
arousing the national self-respect of the Indians, inspired them to fight
for Indian freedom as their respect depended upon the freedom of their
country. Besides the Gliadar, the Yugantir Asram headquarters of the
Ghadar Party published important pamphlets like ''Ghadar di Goon]
(Echoes of Mutiny), Ilan-i-Jang (Declaration of War), Nia Zamana? (The
7
New Age), and "The Balance-sheet of the British Rule in India'
In 1914 occurred the famous episode of the Komagata Maru. In order
to check the influx of Indians into Canada, the authorities prohibited the
entry of all those emigrants who did not possess $200 and who had not
made a continuous journey from India to Canada. As three were no direct
ship services from India in those days, the new ordinances had the effect
of totally stopping the movement of Indian emigrants to Canada. How-
*

ever, one ingenious Baba Gurdit Singh, an enterprising Sikh business mag-
nate, circumvented this ordinance by hiring a Japanese steamer and sail-
ed to Canada with 376 persons on board. The occupants, of course,
with the exception of a few, were all Punjabis.
To the great surprise of the passengers, they were not allowed to
land, excepting the domiciles of Canada, when the ship touched the port
of Vancouver. The Canadian authorities threatened Gurdit Singh to im-
pound his ship in case of non-payment of Charter's fee. He could not make
the payment until he had fulfilled his contract with the passengers. Mean-
while, provisions also ran short resulting in distress and misery. At last
after two months of stay in the Canadian waters the ship turned back
towards Hong Kong.
Still the sufferings of the passengers did not come to an end, they
being not allowed to land either at Hong Kong or at Singapore. After a
tortuous and long journey, the vessel finally reached the Budge Budge
Harbour at Calcutta on 26 September 1914. Owing to the beginning of
the First World War, their entry into India, too, was prohibited by an
ordinance. Special arrangements were made to ciarry the passengers
from Calcutta to the Punjab. But when some of the passengers refused
to comply with the orders, the local police resorted to force. The con-
flict which ensued, resulted in 18 killed and 25 wounded. Gurdit Singh,

affair served as an indicator to the distressed Indians as to how they could


make a revolution in the country during the war.
The first group of the Ghadrites left San Francisco in August 1914 by
the ship 'Korea'. Ram Chandra, who, after the escape of Hardyal to
Switzerland, had assumed the control of the Ghadar movement, categorical-
ly put forth the objective of their mission in his address to the Ghadrites:
"Your duty is clear. Go to India. Stir up rebellion in every corner
of the country. Rob the wealthy and show mercy to the poor. In this way
gain universal sympathy. Arms will be provided to you on arrival in
India. Failing this, you must ransack the police stations for rifles. Obey
without hesitation the commands of vour leaders/'
To fulfil their mission their
journey to India in large numbers. On their way at important stations such
as Hong Kong, Penang and Singapore, they established contacts with
Indian troops having deep sympathy with their cause.
Of all the ships that carried the Ghadrites to India, Tosa Maru is,
perhaps, the most important. With about three hundred persons aboard
it, the ship touched the Indian shore on 29th October 1914. The Govern-
ment of India being extremely vigilant immediately arrested four of their
leaders and packed the rest of them by a special train to the Punjab where
they were interned in the central jails of Montgomery and Multan. Despite
the best efforts of the Government, their security measures were not always
successful and one thousand Ghadrites, by the end of December 1914,
managed to reach the Punjab undetected.
After reaching the Punjab, the Ghadrites set themselves to execute
their plans of raiding police stations to procure arms and also to derail
trains and destroy bridges. They failed to produce adequate impact by
following these methods, for they could not execute their plans properly
on account of keen vigilance of the authorities. The Ghadrites also opened
bomb factories at Amritsar and Lahore.
As the primary object of the Ghadrites was to spread disaffection in
the troops, some of them manoeuvered their way to the ranks of the Indian
army. While in the army, the agents of the Ghadar Party organized secret
cells to impart political education to the soldiers. In a very short time they
established such cells in almost all the cantonments of the Punjab The

to know the plans of the Ghadrites. Acting quickly, the Government


rounded up the Ghadrites, sentenced eighteen of them to death, out of
which twelve were executed. Efforts of the Ghadrites did not achieve much
due to the repression of the Government and the poor response of the
people. Poorly organized and inadequately equipped, the Ghadrites were
no match for Government. Moreover, in the meantime, the Govern-
ment of India had armed itself with special powers to meet any chal-
lenge of their Indian adversaries by passing the Defence of India
Act. Summary trials of all suspects of the Lahore Conspiracy Case
were instituted. Out of the suspects sent for trials, 46 were sentenced to
death, 194 were awarded transportation for life, and 93 were sentenced
to varying terms, whereas only 42 were released.
Here a brief reference may be made about the Silk Conspiracy direct-
9 10
ed from Kabul by two revolutionaries, Barkatullah and Mahendra Pratap.
During the Great War, with the help of Germany, the Ghadrites form-
ed a provisional government in Kabul with Mahendra Pratap as President
and Barkatullah as Prime Minister. To enlist the support of the Muslim
Chiefs of West Asia and to dissociate the Russians from the British, the
provisional government at Kabul ingeniously sent letters written on silk
and sewn inside with clothes to India. Some of the letters fell into the
hands of the Government and the plot was discovered. This plot, known
as the Silk Letters Conspiracy Case, proved completely abortive, though
it was not without its impact on the minds of the Indians, more particularly,
of the Punjabis.
Though the Ghadar had failed, its members continued to burn and
some time after led to fresh agitations. Contributing 400,000 soldiers to the
Indian Army to protect the British Empire, the Punjabis demanded their
Indian Army in tire war (1914-18) to protect the British Empire. The Pun-
jabis demanded their legitimate rights, not as a favour but as a reward for
their services. The Government, however, gave them nothing except a few
high sounding tributes and glittering medals. When prices were soaring
high during the war, their expectations were that they would fall down
after the war? but these expectations proved false. The natural consequen-
ces of such a phenomenon were strikes and lock-outs. The out-breakk of
plague, influenza and famine exhausted whatever patience was left with
the people. To cap all, the policy of the Lieutenant Governor of the Pun-
jab, Michael O'Dwyer, to set aristocracy against the educated middle

class, exasperated the latter. The Muslims who formed the majority in
the Punjab developed a feeling that they had been deceived by the
Government as it did not care to fulfil assurances given to them.
About this time also started the Sikh Rikab Gunj Morcha in New Delhi
against the Government of India. The outer boundary wall of the Rikab
Ganj Gurdwara had been demolished by the Government as early as 1912
and a good slice of territory belonging to the Gurdwara had been acquired
by them for the purpose of building their new capital at Delhi. This was
highly resented by the Sikhs but as the Great War soon broke out, they
kept quiet for some time. In 1918 they resurrected the question of the
demolished wall and started an agitation over the issue. Ultimately, the
Government had to yield and accept the demands of the Sikhs, but it was
not before many Sikhs had undergone great sufferings and sacrifices.
Thus, the situation in the Punjab was now very tense. It just needed a
spark to set the whole province ablaze. The Rowlett Bills soon provided
the necessary ignition.

The Rowlett Bills


the
it was clear that with the end of the war, the Act would also come to an
end. But the situation still being quite explosive, the Government of
India did not wish to part with the authority vested in it by the Aot.
Therefore, the Government was anxious to formulate such laws as could
conveniently replace the existing Defence of India Act. On the le reeomr
immission necessary
legislation to deal effectively with the revolutionaries after the war
two bills were drafted out of which only one could be passed. It was in-
tended to confer upon the Government extraordinary powers of dealing
with n this
popular statement of those days: "No dalil, no mean-
ing "no argument no lawyer, no appeal."
To demonstrate people's resentment against the Rowlett Bills, called
Black Bills by the Indians, Mahatma Gandhi called upon the people to
observe hartal on 6th April. It excited great enthusiasm in the Punjab.
Dr. Satya Pal and Dr. Kitchlew, the leaders who were guiding the
movement in the Punjab, were immediately arrested and removed
to the Dharamsala Jail. As the news leaked out, the people gathered at
the Hall Gate to march in a procession to the Deputy Commissioner's office
to plead for the release of their beloved leaders. On their way, the mob
was twice fired at by troops, killing about ten persons. Infuriated at
this treatment, the mob resorted to murder, arson, looting of the Alliance
Bank, burning, of railway stations, cutting of telegraph wires etc. etc.
And it was in this background of mutual hatred and violence that Miss
Sherwood was brutally assaulted in Kucha Kaurhianwala.
INTRODUCTION XXV

Wherever the news of the Amritsar firing reached, it led to violent


events. A violent mob in Kasur killed two European warrant officers
and damaged public buildings. Near Taran Tar an, a railway station was
looted and burnt. At Lahore, when hartal was being observed, a black
flag procession was fired at. These are only a few examples of the out-
bursts which took place in the various districts of the Punjab.
To improve the rapidly deteriorating situation, the town of Amritsar
was handed over to General Dyer on 12th April 1919 for administration,
but the proclamation to this effect, according to the Hunter Commission
Repot, was not properly communicated to the public. However, on 13th
April, the Baisakhi Day, a public meeting was organized at Jallianwala
Bagh, an area enclosed by high house-walls on all sides except one where
there was a small outlet. Since it was the Baisakhi Festival and the place
was so near the liar Mandir, an unprecedented crowd assembled in the
Bagh. Without any prior warning, General Dyer blocked the only exit
and ordered his troops to open fire at the people. Within minutes about
500 people fell dead or wounded. It was virtually a massacre of a most
non-violent gathering.
More than any single event, the Jallianwala Bagh massacre shocked
the conscience of humanity and shook to the foundation the Indians' faith
in the bona fides of the British Government. As if the massacre was not
enough, General Dyer made all those, who passed through the street where
Miss Sherwood was assaulted crawl on their bellies. Flogging and other
third-degree methods of inflicting punishment were a few other measures
devised for the public humiliation of Indians, most of whom were inno-
cent people having nothing to do with the Jallianwala Bagh meeting.

The year 1920 witnessed a tremendous change in the temper and


tempo of the nationalist movement in India. With lingering shadows of
the First World War and inhuman atrocities committed by the British
11
Raj culminating in the Jallianwala Bagh tregedy, the movement adopt-
ed a new objective-sttfara/, accepted a new leadership, .that of Gandhi,
and adopted new methods-both non-violent and revolutionary. Thus,
"nationalist, middle class agitation was transformed into a mass revolu-
12
tionary movement" This statement is truer with regard to the Punjab
than to any other part of the country, as the focus of the movement from
now onwards shifts north-westward. The chain of events in this phase
reached its climax in 1937 when independence in terms of political power

began to be sought.
Political stalemate induced by the Minto-Morley Reforms was bro-
ken by the Montague Declaration of 20th August 1917. Frustrated and
dismayed by the Act of 1919 and the treatment of the Muslim Caliph,
Hindus and Musalmans both joined hands to oust the British. The eco-
nomic crisis, with which the Punjab was confronted, brought into the
fold of the movement the youth who converted northern India into an
arena of revolutionary activity. But unfortunately, the
Hinduism and Islam recoiled and communalism caught both the mind
and the imagination of the people. Communal antagonism, when it took
deep roots, heightened the mutual distrust between the communities and
future in terms of two nations

The Khilafat Movement:

In the post-World War period, two major events precipitated the situa-
tion in the Punjab: (i) violent reaction to the enactment of the Rowlett
Act (The Indian Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1919), taking the form
Joint (ii) the Pan-
Islamic movement. The defeat of Turkey at the hands of the British
sealed the fate of the Turkish Sultan who was also the Khalifa, and thus
the symbol of Muslim unity. Comprehending the wide implications of
the issue, Gandhiji, without a moment's loss, snatched the opportunity,
for, in his opinion, it offered the best way to cultivate good relationship
between the Hindus and the Muslims. He wrote, ''Khilafat question
will not recur for another hundred years. If the Hindus wish to cultivate
eternal friendship with Musalmans, they must perish in the attempt
13
to vidicate the honour of Islam". In response to Gandhiji's call, 17th
October was widely observed as the Khilafat Day. It not only demons-
trated the unpopularity of the British policy towards Turkey but also
signified the Hindu urge for identification with the Muslims. As the
movement was inspired by Muslim religious sentiments, .the Hindus in
the beginning could not go beyond a verbal expression of sympathy with
the cause. But among the people of the rural areas, the word Khilafat
14
assumed a strong meaning. They whole-heartedly participated in it to
oppose the Government. In creating a revolutionary atmosphere in the
Punjab, credit should be given to the local newspapers, such as the
Zamindar published in Lahore and the Comrade and the Hamdard pub-
lished in Delhi. The Khilafat movement brought into the fold of national
activity the ulemas or the conservative section of the Muslim community.
Thereby, it helped in strengthening and intensifying the Muslim role in
the national movement.

The Non-Cooperation Movement:

Gandhiji was thinking of launching a non-cooperation movement as


a mode of struggle against the Government. It took Gandhiji about three
months (May to July) to bring round vacillating Muslim leaders who
were sceptical of the efficiency of Gandhiji's methods. However, on 22nd
June 1920, eighty-two Muslim leaders urged the Viceroy to modify the
Turkish peace terms. Failing this, they declared, they would make
a common cause with the rest of the people of India. On 1st August 1920
Gandhiji inaugurated the Non-Cooperation movement and appealed to
the people to surrender titles, honorary posts and observe a hartal as
the attitude of the Government towards the Khilafat and Punjab atroci-
ties had made it impossible to cooperate with it. In a special session of
the Indian National Congress called under the presidentship of L a k
Lajpat Rai on 4th September 1920, an appeal was made to the public ser-
vants to dissociate themselves from the administration and Government
educational institutions and to boycott councils and foreign textiles.
While moving the above resolution Gandhiji said, "The Musalmans of
India cannot remain as honourable men and followers of the faith of
their Prophet, if they do not vindicate its honour at any cost. The Pun-
jab has been cruelly and barbarously treated. . . .And it is in order
to remove these two wrongs. . . .that I have ventured to place before
7
this country a scheme of non-cooperation' . The Resolution was passed
despite the opposition of C. R. Dass, B. C. Pal, Annie Besant M. A. Jin-
nah and Madan Mohan Malviya. The only eminent leader, besides the
Ali Brothers, who supported Gandhiji was Moti Lai Nehru. In its An-
nual Session in December 1920, at Nagpur the decision of non-coopera-
tion was ratified with the declaration of "Swaraj by all peaceful and legi-
timate means'' instead of constitutional means. The refashioning of the
structure of the Indian National Congress and the crop-failure, which
affected both the peasants and the workers, helped the movement to be-
come a mass movement. The Akali movement brought the entire rural
populace into the fold of freedom movement. Boycot of councils
courts, schools and foreign cloth, and above all boycott of the Prince of
Wales' visit to India in December 1921 on the one hand and Hindu-
Muslim unity on the other, soon geared up the whole administrative ma-
chinery and an era of repression reopened alongwith the arrest of the
leaders. Twenty-five thousand persons were put behind the bars. By
the end of 1921, the activities of the Akalis in the Punjab, the Moplah
revolt on the Malabar coast, the peasant movement in U.P. and the re-
current strikes by the working class combined with the non-cooperation
campaign to threaten the very existence of the British Empire in India.
But to Gandhiji's utter dismay a ghastly tragedy at Chauri Chaura, where
22 policemen were burnt alive in a Thana, compelled him to withdraw the
f* .If -
XXVIII INTRODUCTION

movement in February 1922 to avoid further violence. The sudden with-


drawal of the campaign unleashed a wave of anger and resentment among
the people.
No doubt, the Non-Cooperation movement failed, but there is no
denying the fact that it converted the nationalist movement into a revo-
15
lutionary one and further, gave it a mass character. Moreover, the
movement by accepting and emphasizing the need of a constructive pro-
gramme initiated a process of national regeneration which henceforward
became part and parcel of the freedom movement. By exposing the
weaknesses of the Government, it also inculcated a new sense of self-res-
pect and fearlessness amongst the people.
But at the same time, the abrupt cessation of the movement left the
people aghast. In his growing awareness of the inherent weaknesses of
the Indian society, Gandhiji after his release in 1924 devoted himself
completely to constructive programme. However, some of the Congress
leaders, such as Moti Lai Nehru and C. R. Das, did not agree with Gandhiji
and formed the Swarajist Party to fight elections to get entry into
the legislatures. The Hindu-Muslim unity effected in the beginning of
the movement proved short-lived and broke down leading to violent
communal riots. In the Punjab, revolutionary activity gained a new edge.
In short, the withdrawal of the Non-Cooperation movement set into mo-
tion divergent trends which formed the predominant features of India's
political life during the twenties.

Constitutional Struggle ;

As suggested earlier, after the suspension of the Non-Cooperation


movement, Gandhiji decided to follow the programme of constructive
work. But this was neither militant nor lively enough to satisfy those who
wanted positive political action. In their search for an alternative, they
hit upon the policy of resistance from within as followed by Ireland
under the leadership of Charles Stewart Parnell. Council entry was
recommended by Moti Lai Nehru and C. R. Das, two prominent leaders
of the Congress. No-changers among the Congress led by M. A. Ansari
and Rajagopala managed to get a resolution through the Gaya Session
of the Indian National Congress in 1922, saying "it is necessary again
for the people of India to withhold participation in the elections of the
,>16
next year as an essential programme of non-violent non-cooperation In
disapproval of this resolution, C R. Das resigned the Congress President-
ship and announced the formation of a Swaraj Party. Thanks to the
efforts of Lala Lajpat Rai, Maulana Mohammad Ali and Maulana Abul
Kalam Azad during 1923-4, a second Surat was averted. In November

the first two years, the Swarajists secured many triumphs. They success-
fully obstructed the working of the Dyarchy. But soon a growing section
from within the Swarajists began to extend responsive cooperation to
the Government, a clear-cut violation of die spirit of non-cooperation.
Attempts to effect a conciliation with the dissidents failed. The Swarajists,
though weakened, continued to drill "walk out and walk in" till 1929
when the Indian National Congress asked them to abstain from the
councils for more active participation in the freedom struggle.
*

Constructive Programme:

When the Swarajists were engaged on their parnellite tactics,


Gandhiji was assiduously working to rejuvenate the spirit of India. Being
acutely aware of the fact that political freedom without social and eco-
nomic freedom had no significance, Gandhiji launched a programme of
constructive work. For centuries a large section of the Indian society,
the so-called untouchables, was subjected to social injustice and social
disability. Deprived of the right of social equality, political freedom had
no significance to them. In 1927, in the Calcutta Session of the Indian Na-
tional Congress, Gandhiji u r g e d "upon the people of India the necessity,
justice and righteousness of removing all disabilities imposed by custom
upon the depressed classes. . . . " On 12th February 1922 the Working
Committee of the Congress, at its meeting at Bardoli, declared removal
of untouchability to be an integral part of the Congress programme.
Another salient feature of the constructive work was the attempt
to change the economic creed of the Congress. Resonance of the spinn-
ing wheel is most articulate in this period. To safeguard the wealth of
India and to supplement the resources of millions of peasants and pbor
people, and above all to give a jolt to the British textile industry, Gandhiji
launched a massive campaign of weaving and wearing Khadi. In
the Gaya Session 1922, the Congress constituted a committee to assist the
All India Trade Union Congress, set up some time earlier, to organize
the factory labourers. The Communist Party of India, though still in
the embryonic stage, rendered valuable help in the organization of the

labour class. From 1920 onwards Lala Lajpat Rai and many other
leaders played a prominent role in this work. But their eflForts in this
field were not comparable to their efforts in the field of peasant organi-
zations.

Akali Movement:

Freedom movement in the Punjab during the period following 1920


presents a unique picture of people's participation. The basic driving
force behind all movements of the period was the awakened middle class.
As a result of closer association with the Ghadrites, the people respected the
Babas, the leaders of the Ghadar movement. Moreover, the Ghandian
method of non-violence was a contemporary phenomenon which found
favour with many Punjabi intellectuals. Influenced by these and some
other factors, the new leadership of the Sikh community could not
abstain from political activity. The idea of liberating India from the
colonial yoke of the British brought all sections of the people into the
fold of the movement.
The mass movement, beginning during the war-period, 1914-18,
height in the Punjab uring the first half of the twenties. It
known as the Akali movement. Though
ed a religious form and had a religious end to achieve, in reality it \vas
a revolt of the community against the temple-holders, known as Mahants.
Belonging to the Udasi sect of the Sikhs, these Mahants had gradually
grown into wealthy feudal landlords. They deprived the poor peasantry
of their rights. The Mahants misappropriated the Community's income
from the gurdwaras and their land and flouted the traditions and customs
of the Sikhs.
To bring temples under the control of the community, the Sikhs
convened a conference at Amritsar in July 1920. The conference insti-
tuted a small committee to administer temples. The Akalis were suppo-
sed to take oath that they would not resort to violence. They were so

Sikhs at that time, gave their

A mandate was issued from the Akal Takhat summoning an assem-
bly of the Sikhs to meet on 15 November 1920 to elect a representative
body of the Panth, to govern and control the Golden Temple and other
shrines. ernment of the Punjab with the
tance of the Maharaja of Patiala, constituted a committee with the motive
of foiling the attempt of the Sikhs. Despite the alliance of the Mahants
and the Government and the hired detachments to prevent the Akalis
from convening their meeting, the Akalis were successful in organizing
Prabandhak Committee to take up the
gurdwaras
V

INTRODUCTION XXXI

The conflict between the Akalis and the Government ensued in Jan-
uary 1921 in Taran Taran. It was provoked by the Mahants. Two Akalis
fell victim to the priestly violence. Events of this kind were repeated on
-

a wider scale at Nankana Sahib, the birth-place of Guru Nanak. On 20th


February 1920, Bhai Lachhman Singh led a jatha to put an end to the
scandalous state of affairs prevailing under the management of Mahant
Narain Das at the Nankana Sahib Gurdwara. Armed Pathans and des-
peradoes hired by the Mahant fell upon the peaceful jatha and killed about
200 of them. The whole Indian nation was shocked by this most outrageous
murder. A large number of the wounded were also burnt alive. In the face
of inhuman treatment by the hirelings of the Mahant, the Akalis showed
tremendous spirit of non-violence. Appreciating their non-violent strug-
gle, Mahatma Gandhi issued an appeal saying: "The work is not solely
of the Sikhs, everybody should share it."
The tragedy of Nankana Sahib was still fresh in the minds of the
people when the Government resorted to repressive measures to suppress
the movement of the Akalis. But it did not succeed in this and soon began
to send feelers to the temple committee for a compromise.
On 7th November 1921, the Deputy Commissioner of Amritsar took
away the keys of the Golden Temple. Presumably, the motive of the
Government was to hinder the transfer of control over the manage-
ment of gurdwaras to the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee.
This tended to provoke another agitation. But before the situation took
a very ugly turn, the Governor of the Punjab yielded. He returned the
keys to the S.G.P.C. and ordered the release of the Akali prisoners. In
the words of Mahatma Gandhi: "First decisive battle for India's Freedom
won: Congratulations."

Hardly a few months had elapsed when a fresh clash occurred bet-
ween the Akalis and the Mahants9 at the Guru Ka Bagh, a temple situa-
ted about ten miles north of Amritsar. On the complaint of the Mahant
Sunder Das that under the agreement with the S . G . P . C . only the gurdwara
was surrendered and not the adjoining land from where the Sikhs used to
cut wood for their community kitchen. When the police arrested a few
Sikhs for this offence, the Akalis launched a morcha which continued for
*

twenty days. Every day a jatha of the Akalis went to the disputed spot
and was mercilessly beaten by the police. In August the police shot
down a number of Sikhs. The Working Committee of the Congress, while
condemning the ruthless policy of the police, appointed a commission to
investigate into the events of Guru Ka Bagh. Calm and cool courage and
marvellous self-restraint displayed by the Akalis fetched them felicita-
tions of Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress.
The struggle still continued. Maharaja Ripudaman Singh of Nabha,
who was a sympathiser of the Akalis, observed the martyrs day to honour
XXXII INTRODUCTION

all those who had laid down their lives at Nankana Sahib. This noble
act of the Maharaja was resented by the British Government. On the pre-
text that the Maharaja was not having good relations with the Patiala
State, he was forced to abdicate. This compelled the Sikhs once more to
launch an agitation wliich is commonly called Jaito Da Morcha. They
led jathas which were subjected to various kinds of torture. The atroci-
ties perpetrated by the police aroused the sympathy of the people for
the Akalis. The Indian National Congress deputed Jawahar Lai Nehru,
Principal N . K. Gidnain and K. Santhanam to make an on-the-spot study
of the situation. But they were also arrested like the Akalis. While the
Jaito Morcha was still going on, another clash took place at Bhai Pheru
in the District of Lahore.
One of the most striking features of the Gurdwara Reform movement
was that it was carried on in the true spirit of non-violence. It confirmed
Gandhijf s saying that non-violence is a weapon of the brave only. The
movement, however, began to fade in 1923. Internal differences of the
Akali leadership created a rift in their ranks. The more revolutionary
section of the Akalis, who did not approve of the non-violent method of
struggle, formed a separate organisation to meet the British challenge.

Babar Akali Movement;


Those who did not subscribe to the cult of non-violence held a sepe-
rate meeting at Hoshiarpur in March 1921 and decided to raise an open
armed revolt against the Government and to physically punish the toadies.
Kishan Singh, a dismissed Havaldar Major, organised a band of people
called Chakarvarti Jatha, a mobile propaganda organ. Besides terrorising
the oppressive government servants, their object was to communicate their
message of revolt to the people as well as the army. As their field of
operations, to begin with, was confined to the Districts of Jullundur and
Hoshiarpur, they called their press organ by the name of the Babar Akali
Doaba.
Betrayed by his own relations, Kishan Singh was arrested on 26th
February 1923. Enraged at this treachery, the Babars committed a series
of political murders. They created tremendous awe among the govern-
ment servants and stooges of the entire Doaba Bist-Jullundur. To deal
effectively with the situation, police rounded up many people, but the
majority of them were innocent. To save the innocent people from being
penalized, the Babars announced the names of their comrades who had
committed the murders. Out of the 186 Babar prisoners, five were sen-
tenced to death, eleven to transportation for life, and thirty eight to various
terms of imprisonment.
Displaying deeds of rare heroism, the Babars won sympathy and
admiration of the people. They inculcated the spirit of supreme sacrifice
for the nation in the people. The movement, though short-lived, formed

part of the background to the revolutionary movement led by Bhagat


Singh a few years later in the Punjab.
Kirti Kisan Party
During 1920's we witness the beginning of the socialist movement in
India. The Punjab did not lag behind other parts of India in having a
party of this kind. Strenuous efforts of Bhai Santokh Singh and Abdul
Majid fructified in the formation of the Kirti Kisan Party in 1927 on the
lines of 'Workers and Peasants' parties in Bengal and Bombay. The Kirti,
a newspaper, was its official organ for the propagation of its ideas. In the
beginning it worked for the reduction of rents, abolition of nazaranas, etc.
Its collaboration with Nau Jawan Sabha, a revolutionary party, and its
growing influence over the rural population particularly of the Lahore
and Amritsar Districts, created apprehensions in the minds of government
officials. In curbing the activities of this party, the authorities were greatly
assisted by the Unionist Party of the Punjab. To evade the heavy hand
of the Government the members of the Kirti Kisan Party changed their
label and joined the Communist Party.

Revolutionary Activity:
The withdrawal of the Non-Cooperation movement provoked the
youth of the Punjab and persons like Bhagat Singh jumped into the arena
to follow the example set by the Bengali revolutionaries.
In March 1926 Bhagat Singh organized the Nau Jawan Sabha with
the object of inspiring the Punjabi youth for revolutionary activity to
liberate India from foreign yoke. With the assistance of Kedar Nath
Sehgal, Sardul Singh, Anand Kishore Mehta, Pindi Das Sodhi and Ram
r
Chandra, the Nau Jaw an Sabha soon became a force to reckon with. It
also had the credit of inviting eminent political leaders to its meetings.
Dr. Bhupendra Nath Dutt, a Bengali revolutionary, Phillips Sptett, a
member of the British Communist Party, and Jawahar Lai Nehru, a left-
wing Congressman, spoke from its platform.
In 1928 the Nau Jawan Sabha assumed a new character. It set up
branches in various districts and in association with the Kirti Kisan Party,
worked hard to spread its activities. A 'Tract Society' was established
whose primary function was to publish radical literature. Among its im-
portant publications may be mentioned The Wealth of Nations by Har-
dyal and Bharat Mata Ka Darshan by Chabil etc. This literature was
mostly circulated among the students at Lahore, a major educational cen-
tre of the Punjab. The Sabha also organized, on a very big scale, a pro-
cession under the leadership of Lala Lajpat Rai to register its protest
against the all-white Simon Commission. While heading the procession
Lala Lajpat Rai received fatal blows of the police lathis and succumbed
to the injuries on 17th November 1928. Greatly enraged at this tragedy,
XXXIV INTRODUCTION

Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Yash Pal and Chandra Sheikhar Azad shot, with-
in a month of the Lala's death, both Saunders and Scott who were con-
sidered responsible for their beloved leader's end.
The Punjab revolutionaries immediately went underground and
organized an all-India revolutionary party under the name of Hindustan
Socialist Republican Association. After learning the art of bomb-making
from Jatendra Nath Das of Bengal, they opened bomb factories at Agra
and Lahore. One of the Agra-made bombs was thrown into the Central
Assembly Hall by Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt with a view to
terrorizing the British administration in India. Discovery of the bomb
factory at Lahore and confessions of Jai Gopal and Hans Raj Vohra led
to what is known as the Lahore Conspiracy Case of 1929. After the mocke-
ry of a trial, three heroes of the Nau Jawan Sabha, Bhagat singh, Sukh-
dev and Rajguru, were sentenced to death in October 1930.
Despite nationwide appeals to the Viceroy and to the Privy Council
to commute the death sentences of Bhagat Singh and his companions
into transportations for life, the British Government remained unmoved.
Inspired by the supreme sacrifice of Bhagat Singh, Hari Kishan, a lad of
nineteen, shot at Sir Geoffray. He was immediately arrested and sen-
tenced to death. The last wish he expressed, before he was hanged, was
to see Bhagat Singh and he forced the Government to comply with his
wish by undergoing a fast unto death. The gallantry of Bhagat Singh
made such a deep impact upon the minds of the youth that he became
a legend even before his execution.
Sohan Singh Josh, Kidar Nath Sehgal and Abdul Majid, who were
also among the collaborators of Bhagat Singh, were implicated in the
Meerut Conspiracy Case of 1929. Such ruthless acts of the officialdom
had their effect and the revolutionary movement under discussion soon
came to an end, but certainly not without leaving behind an indelible
mark on the people of the country.

Other Political Parties:

The period is also noted for the great spurt in communalism. The
Muslim League, after a lapse of four years' inactivity, re-entered the
political arena of India in 1924. By now the All India Khilafat Commi-
ttee had become functus officio, as Kamal Pasha after deposing the Sul-
tan and * — w
"-«

The Hindu Mahasabha, too, had undergone a transformation. Originally


an organisation for social reforms, it had gradually drifted into politics
to safeguard the rights of the Hindus against the Muslims and to combat
the tendencies of the Hindu leaders to appease the Muslims Madan
Mohan Malviya, the founder of the Banaras University
ablest leader.
INTRODUCTION XXXV

On the other hand, M. N. Roy and his associates, trained at Tashkent,


had worked hard to establish a communist part of India. Phillips Spratt
had organized a workers and peasants party in Uttar Pradesh. Within
a short time it had its branches all over North India. Its connection with
the revolutionaries and other militant elements and its implication with
the Meerut Conspiracy Case, 1929, invited the wrath of the Government
and communist activities in India came to a temporary halt.
The communal politics of the Muslim League and the Hindu Maha-
sabha resulted in mounting communal tension between the Hindus
the Musi ms. Lingering suspicions in the minds of the Muslims and
:er the withdrawal of the Non-Cooperation were intensified
services
To meet the Muslim challenge successfully and to safeguard Hindu rights,
privileges and interests, the Arya Samaj laid stress on the system of
Shudhi and Sangathan. On the other hand, the Muslims emphasized
Tanzim and Tabligh. The communal tension thus created led to serious
communal riots. The worst tragedy of this communal drama was en-
ft

acted at Kohat in the North-West Frontier Province

Towards Purana Stvaraj:


A statutory provision of the Government of India Act, 1919 was that
a commission would be sent to India after ten years to enquire into the
working of the reforms and to determine the extent and nature of further
action. Apprehending that the new House of Commons emerging from
the elections due in 1929, might have a labour majority, the Conservative
Government instituted an enquiry commission of seven members with
Sir John Simon as its Chairman. This all-white Commission was boy-
cotted in India by all the political parties right from 3rd February 1928, the
day it landed in India. Wherever the Commission went, they were re-
ceived with black flag demonstrations. At Lahore, in one of these
demonstrations, as pointed out earlier, Lala Lajpat Rai fell a victim to
police atrocities.
The Simon Commission, though universally rejected, indirectly in-
duced the Indian leaders to draft a constitution of their own reflecting a fair
measure of agreement among the various Indian political parties. The first
conference in this connection was held on 12th February 1928 at Delhi
under the Chairmanship of Dr M. A. Ansari. It was followed by an All
Pohtical Parties Conference in August 1928. But the experiment of draft-
ing a constitution ended in a fiasco mainly due to Jinnah's opposition at
the r^lnntta Convention Desnite its failure to secure the suDt>ort of the
politioal parties for the Nehru Report, as the draft constitution was
called, the Indian National Congress appealed to the British Government
to accept it and transfer pohtical power to Indi^ on its basis. But nothing
came out of it. **

The next step was the declaration of Parana Swaraj i.e. complete
independence as the final political goal of India at the Lahore Session
of the Indian National Congress, 1929. Finding the Government adamant
in its resistance to their political aspirations the Congress launched the
Civil Disobedience movement in 1930. The movement commenced with
the famous Dandi March of Gandhiji, which the
the whole of India. There broke out sporadic cases
Gandhiji nothing of the sort to
affect the continuity of his struggle. A mention here may be made of
the gruesome incident in Peshawar. On 31st May 1930 during the Civil
Disobedience movement, Ganga Singh Kamboj, an employee of the Mili-
tary Dairy, was shot at while travelling in a tonga with his family, by a
British Lance Corporal. His two children Harpal Kaur, 9K years, and
Bachitar Singh, 16 years, died on the spot, whereas his wife was seriously
injured. Dead bodies of the children were taken out in a procession
which was fired at without prior warning. In 17 rounds which were
fired nine men were killed and eighteen wounded as per government
record.
Meanwhile, the First Round Table Conference was convened to dis-
cuss the recommendations of the Simon Commission. There being no
enthusiasm about these recommendations, only a few parties and a few
individuals, such as T. B. Sapru, M. A. Jinnah and Mohammad Ali, at-
tended the Conference. Two significant developments took place during
the course of the Conference: one, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar demanded sepa-
rate representation for the depressed communities; and second, the Mus-
lim leaders unequivocally expressed their desire to get a major share in
political power in the provinces where they had majority and reservation
of rights where they were in minority.
After the First Round Table Conference, the British Prime Minister invit-
ed the Congess to revise its policy. Much against the wishes of some mem-
bers of the Congress Working Committee, Gandhiji decided to have a
meeting with the Viceroy, Lord Irwin. The interview, which lasted for
fortnight, resulted in the conclusion of the Gandhi

sion of the Civil Disobedience movement and the Congress agreement
to participate in the next Round Table Conference.

nal harmony in the country suffered a new set-back as the depressed


classes and castes now started behaving like the other minorities in the
assertion of their separatist claims. Gandhiji repented for having parti-
cipated in the Round Table Conference before securing the confidence
of minorities.
On 17th August 1932 the Viceroy threw a bombshell in the form of the
Communal Award which fixed representation on piercentagb basis for

Towards New Constitution:

After the third and last session of the Round Table Conference held
on 17th November 1932, the British Government published a White paper
on the basis of which a bill was framed and introduced in Parliament on
19th December 1934. It was passed and become an Act on 2nd August 1935.
The new constitution envisaged an all-India federation having a Federal
Court and a Federal Public Service Commission. The dyarchy in the
provinces was replaced by provincial autonomy. At the centre, how-
ever, a sort of dyarchy was introduced, because it was felt that the
country was not yet ready for the transfer of full responsibility. The
federal scheme of the Act was stoutly opposed by all political parties of
India, as it suffered from several serious defects. The provincial scheme
was, however, much better and when it was inaugurated in 1937, the
various parties agreed to give a trial to it.
Communal relations during the thirties as well remained tense and
riots were frequent and widespread. In Karachi over the murder of a
Hindu and at Lahore over the disputed site of the Shahidganj Gurdwara
serious riots took place. Riots also occurred in U.P. and Bombay. It was
under such circumstances that the elections of 1937 were fought and
conducted. Results of the elections were most satisfactory to die Cong-
ress, though it was seriously mauled in the Punjab and Sindh. The
Muslim League, however, fared very badly, which created the feeling
in many quarters that it was not the sole representative body of the
Muslims.

Praja Mandal Movement in the Punjab:

Growth of political consciousness also influenced the people living


in the Princely states. A few of them were, no doubt, enlightened rulers,
but, by and large, they were relics of the medieval age. Economically
backward and politically retarded, the people of these states were denied
even those rights which the British had granted to their subjects. Inspired
by the political movements of the British India, the people of the Princely
states launched their struggle to abolish feudalism and to achieve their
democratic rights. With the help of the Indian National Congress, the
local leaders of the states established an organisation of their own, known
as the Praja Mandal.
One of the most important causes which resulted in the rise of the
Praja Mandal movement was the mutually protective alliance between
the British Indian Government and the Princes. With the rising tide of
nationalism, the foreign rulers began to bank more and more on the
rulers twenties
the Punjab had brought the people of the Princely states and the British
empire closer to each other.. The progressive wing of the Akali Dal
began to interfere in the internal matters of the Princely states of the Pun-
jab—Patiala, Jind, Nabha , Kapurthala, Faridkot, Malerkotla, Kalsia and
Nalagarh. The arrest of some prominent and popular leaders by the
Patiala State agitated the minds of the people who on 7th July 1928
convened a meeting at Mansa. The deliberations of the Conference led
to the birth of the Punjab Riyasti Praja Mandal, the first political organi-
zation in the Punjab states.
On 10th August 1928, at a meeting held in the office of the Akali Dal,
Amritsar, the Punjab Riyasti Praja Mandal decided to extend its activities

quit India in 1942, the Praja Mandal vigorously supported the national
movement. In the Act of 1935 the Princes were given the option to join
the all-India federation or to stay away. The people of the states in the
Punjab expressed their readiness to merge with India in order
to end the aristocratic and autocratic rule of the Princes. The agitation
of 1946 in the Faridkot State was directed against the arbitrary rule of
the Raja of Faridkot.

IV

(1937 - 1947)
From 1937 onwards the triangular political contest acquired a new
edge. The Congress struggled for independence, the Muslim League for
a well-secured and effective position for the Muslims and the British ex-
ploited the mutual differences of the two to delay the transfer of power
to Indians.
The victory of the Congress and the relative discomfiture Jof the
Muslim League in the elections of 1937 posed a new serious problem.
The Congress was returned in majority and formed governments in most
of the provinces. The Muslim League, convinced of its poor showing,
was desirous of entering into coalitions with the Congress, particularly in
U.P. The Congress took a stiff attitude on the issue and expressed its will-
ingness for coalition only on the condition that the nominees of the League
would resign the League membership and sign the Congress pledge be-
fore entering the governments and further, would not be the only re-
presentatives of the Muslim community. This was too much for the Mus-
lim League which now turned against the Congress and started a
campaign of virulent propaganda against it. The two-nation theory was
now brought forth, which claimed the Muslims to be a separate nation
entitled to a separate state. In 1940 the resolution was passed by which
the Muslim League demanded Pakistan, a Muslim state to be carved out
of the predominantly Muslim areas of the country.
In 1939 started the Second World War. Since Great Britain was
involved in the war, India being her dependency was also declared to
be a belligerent country. The Congress protested against this act of the
Government on the ground that in doing so the people of India had not
been consulted. Soon after all the Congress ministries resigned and
Mahatma Gandhi was authorised to launch individual satyagralm against
the Government. The aim of this satyagraha was not to attain stoaraj but
only to attempt to counteract the war propaganda of the Government.
The individual satyagralm did not prove effective on account of its
limited character. It was only when the Japanese were pressing hard
on the British in South-East Asia that the Government began to make
overtures to get Indian support to their war efforts. In March 1942, Sir
XL INTRODUCTION

2ripps, a socialist and a friend of Jawahar Lai Nehru, was sent


with an authority to offer independence as soon as hostilities
ceased. The India
that it was their duty to protect the minorities displeased the Congress
leaders who rejected the proposals brought by him. Very appositely,
the Congress described his proposals as a post-dated cheque on a failing
bank.
The atmosphere of frustration which prevailed in the country and
the growing Japanese pressure towards India convinced Mahatma Gandhi
of the necessity to launch what came to be termed the 'Quit India' cam-
paign. This 1942. Gandhiji's call had deep
effect upon the Indians. The Government took a very serious view of it
and tried to stop it even before it was started. The Indian National
Congress was declared an illegal institution. The leaders and other im-
portant participants were arrested en masse and no force was spared to
put down the agitation quickly. In six months the movement began to
subside. It could not continue without competent leadership. It got
a further setback when the Communists, with Russia joining hands with
Britain in the war, changed sides to support tiie British Government in
India. With the Congress goine into the wilderness, the situation took
favourable turn for the Muslim League whic opportunity

sponsoring organization of these efforts was the Indian National Army,
commonly known as INA, operating under the able leadership of
Subash Chandra Bose. Subash, or Netaji as he was called by his followers,
was a conscientious objector to die Gandhian technique of satyagraha
and non-violence. He was a believer in militancy and planned to raise
the banner of an armed revolt in India and abroad. After his dramatic
escape from India, he first proceeded to Berlin and from there went to
Saigon and Rangoon. As the Japanese installed a puppet government in

that it began to demand treatment of equality with the Congress. Thus


the whole struggle for freedom degenerated into a conflict for power be-
tween these two major political parties.
After the war in 1945 the Labour Party came into power in England.
The new Government ordered general elections in India. The results of
the elections 'indicated marked dommunal divisions among the Und|ian
electorate. The Muslim League fared much better this time, because
Muslim In the Punjab, it
secured 79 seats out of the total of 175 seats. No other single party
marshalled so many seats. The Congress, the Sikhs and the Unionist
Party all had to combine to prevent the Muslim League from coming to
power. In Bengal and Sindh, the position of the League was even
stronger. The position of the Congress was weaker than in the year
1937. Even so, it commanded majorities in most of the provinces and
was in a position to form ministries there.
Meanwhile, another mission consisting of three cabinet members,
Lord Pethick Lawrence, Sir Stafford Cripps and A. Alexander, was
to India to explore the possibility of a political settlement among the
various parties of India. The Cabinet Mission, as it was called, held
discussions with prominent Indian leaders and then offered a scheme
of their own, which cleverly sought to adjust the various conflicting in-
terests. The scheme held out the prospect of maintaining the unity of
India, while at the same time it largely met the viewpoint of the League.
But, unfortunately, it was shipwrecked on the rock of the great mistrust
that subsisted between the Congress and the League. Undismayed by
the fate of the Cabinet Mission, the Labour Government of England
decided to set up an Interim Government consisting of representatives of
both the major political parties. On the insistence of the Congress for
having a nationalist Muslim in the cabinet, the League refused to join
the Interim Government. Then the Congress alone was asked to form
the government, which it did. After a few months, the Muslim League
also came in and joined the government if only to exploit the position
from within. But even with this, the gulf between the two parties was
not abridged. To force issues, the League now decided on a policy of
'direct action'. The first Direct Action Day was observed on 6th August
1946 communal riots. It was
now clear that the division of India was inevitable and nobody could
prevent it.

Erf INTRODUCTION

They were deadly opposed to the creation of Pakistan. Their demand


for a separate Khalsa state was not practicable and could not be accept-
ed. At last, on the assurance of the Congress that they would be given
a special treatment in India, they decided to throw in their lot with the
Congress. On 2nd June 1947, a plan for the division of India was announc-
ed, and after its acceptance by the Congress and the Muslim League,
15th August 1947 was fixed as the deadline by which power was to be trans-
ferred. During this period of preparation, a one-man commission con-
sisting of Sir Cyril Redcliffe was appointed to divide property and armed
forces and to demarcate boundaries of India and Pakistan. This stupen-
dous work was done in record time.
At last, the long and historic struggle for independence came to its
fruitful end on 15 August 1947. This glorious day was, however, accom-
panied by tragic events of communal roits, violence and arson. The re-
lations between the Muslims on the one hand and the Hindus and Sikhs
on the other were at razor's edge. Finding themselves insecure in the
lands of their forefathers, the Hindus and the Sikhs migrated to India.
Similarly, the Muslims who felt insecure in India migrated to Pakistan.
In the course of these migrations, lakhs of precious human lives perished.
Those who were lucky to complete their journeys, had to face, on both
sides of the international border, untold privation and misery. It appear-
ed as if the last rites of independence were being performed with the
blood of the seekers of independence. No part of India suffered so much
as the Punjab did. Also, perhaps, no part of the country could have stood
it so well and so successfully. The refugees from West Pakistan have
since done so well that there is hardly anything about them which could
suggest that only twenty two years ago they were uprooted from their

SOME IMPORTANT CASES OF PUNJAB


REBELLION IN 1919
How shall our love console thee, or assuage
Thy helpless woe; how shall our grief requite
The hearts that scourge thee and the hands that smite
Thy beauty with their rods of bitter rage?
Lo! let our sorrow be the battle-gage
To wreck the terror of the tyrant's might
Who mocks with ribald wrath thy tragic plight,
And stains with shame thy radiant heritage!
O beautiful ! O broken and betrayed !
O mournful queen ! O martyred Draupadi!
Endure thou still, unconquered, undismayed!
The sacred rivers of thy stricken blood
Shall prove the five-fold stream of freedom's flood
To guard the watch-towers of our Liberty.
Sarojini Naidu

This soul-stirring little poem springing from the depths of the Nigh-
lie of India's heart is a pointer to how the whole of our ancient land
moved by the bleeding Punjab of 1919. Terrible times were they in-
1! The very memory still raises hair. But the severity of punishment
the foreign government was fully matched by the glory of the pat-
c response aroused by it in the hearts of the Punjabis. Particularly,
the people of the city of Amritsar were, as it were, up in arms

LJI INTRODUCTION

SOME OF THE KISAN MORCHAS IN THE


EAST PUNJAB STATES
Economically and politically the East Punjab States were quite back-
ward. There were hardly any industries, and educational and medical
facilities were woefully lacking. The income of the states was mostly
derived from the taxes and levies charged from the rural people. It was
against such conditions that the peasants of these states raised their voice
of protest.
The Akali movement (1921-25) imparted political consciousness to the
T
peasantry in the states. The Punjab Ri); asti Parja Mandal was born in July
1928 at Mansa (Patiala State). It was exclusively a peasant movement
and for at least the first ten years of its career all its demands concerned
the redressal of peasant grievances.
The first note-worthy peasant movement was noticed in 1927 in the
Malerkotla State. The Sikh peasants were demanding full rights in the lands
owned by them, whereas the revenue records showed the Nawab and
Khawanin (Muslim landlords) as the superowner. The peasants wan-
ted reforms in the Nazool Law and a stop to the various extortions which
the Nawab was making under one pretext or another. An organization
called the Zamindara Association was formed in early 1927 and it was
memorandum
the
In utter desperation the State police and army attacked a meeting of the
Zamindara Association on 17th July 1927 at the Village Kuthala; fourteen
persons were killed on the spot. The State Government arrested about 25
of the leading workers and launched a conspiracy case against them, as
the result of which they were sentenced to long terms of imprisonment.
The tenant-cultivators of die Patiala State also raised their voice

State territory. They led massive deputations to Simla and presented to
the Viceroy memoranda on their grievances. Consequently, in 1930 tenant-
workers were attacked by die landlordds and their men at Dhuri and Sunam.
Among those arrested by die Patiala Government were Haxnam Singh of
the village Dharamgarh and Wazir Singh of the village Daftriwala. They
were both tenant leaders of their areas. In 1938 a clash between the
tenant-cultivators of the village Killa Hakim an near Dhuri and the land-
lords took place. Two tenants were killed on the spot and nine wounded.
Many of them were arrested and prosecuted for various offences. From then
on, die tenant movement gained momentum. A tenants war council was
set up in 1939 and one after another the tenant villages started stopping
payment of batai (die laiidlords's share of the produce). Tenant-landlord

(royal decree) dated 11th March 1947, announced the decision of land

ed. The land-lords were now trying to occupy their one third share of the
land with the help of die State machinery. In March 1948 there was a

the tenant resistant. Sensing the gravity of the situation, the tenant leaders
surrendered. 26 persons were arrested and prosecuted for va-
rious offences. Among them was Dharam Sindi Fakkar who was later elec-
ted to the Pepsu Assembly from that very area. In 1948 the Pepsu was
having a coalition government of rebel Congressmen and Sardar Gian Singh
Rarewala's group. The Akalis and the official Congress led by Mr Brish-
bhan were agitating against that coalition government. The tenants were,
therefore, successful in getting for themselves the~services of leading Cong-
ress lawyers (Desraj, Harbans Lai and Brishbhan). They were all acquit-
ted. The movement won notable victories when the Pepsu Assembly pass-
ed land reform legislation in 1952-53 conferring proprietory rights on the
tenants.
*

In 1930 Sikh peasants of the Jind State launched a morcha against


be gar (forced labour),forcible collection of supplies for the hunting parties
of the Raja and his courtiers and against the malpractices of Bihari Lai
Dhingra, the then Chief Minister of the State. A group of peasants went
all the way to Bhimtal (Kamaon Hills) where the Raja was resting in
summer. The Raja took certain steps to partially meet their demands.
After some months there was a regular morcha in July 1930 under the
leadership of Sewa Singh Thikriwala. About 500 people courted arrest.
Although outwardly the morcha was on the issue of the right of the Sikhs
to hold meetings in gurdwaras, the real cause was the peasant unrest.
Another notable struggle launched by the peasants was in the Kalsia
State. The struggle is known as the Charik Morcha of 1938. Charik
was a small pocket of Kalsia situated in the Ferozepur District. Main
demands of the peasants were regarding roads, dispensaries and schools.
They were also demanding responsible government and a limit to the
rulers's privy purse. The form of the morcha was a boycott of the annual
cattlefare. Men and women volunteers smashed the ovens (tandoors)
constructed by the shopkeepers and did picketting of all the enterances
to the mela site, thus obstructing the entry of men as well as cattle.The
State Pohce resorted to lathi charge and arrests but the police force
being insufficient and ill-equipped, the boycott proved very effective.
LlV INTRODUCTION

The mela contributed barely 15% of the normal income to the State Trea-
sury. The struggle continued even after the mela came to an end—now
it was for the release of the arrested workers. Jathas from Charik
reached Chhachhrauli, the capital town of the State. There they were
joined by Jatlws from the neighbouring villages with red flags. The
peasants demonstrated before the fort of the Raja, but no arrests were
made. Ultimately, the ruler had to promise that the main demands would
be accepted. The out-break of die Second World War was also responsible
for the temination of the morcha.
PATRIOTS OF NOTE
AJIT SINGH

Ajit Singh was born at village Khatkar Kalan in District Jullundur (Pun-
jab) but later shifted to village Banga in District Lyalpur of the same province.
He was son of Arjan Singh and Jai Kaur and uncle of the famous Punjabi
martyr-hero, Bhagat Singh. He belonged to a Jat Sikh family. He received his
school education in the Sain Dass Anglo-Sanskrit High School, Jullundur and
his college education in the D . A . V . College Lahore. After passing the B.A.
examination he joined the Law College at Bareilly but could not complete the
course due to his bad health. Till 1907 he was an obscure figure. The agrarian
policy of the Government to raise rates of revenue assessment and irrigation
and to pass the Canal Colonies Bill depriving the land-grantees of some of the
rights they had been enjoying from the beginning, brought him suddenly
to the forefront and he joined Lala Lajpat Rai and other leaders mainly hailing
from towns in an agitation against the Government. During his early years
he had imbibed patriotism from his father and the writings and speeches of
Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilalc. Tilak's famous declaration, "Swaraj is my
birth-right and I shall have it/ particularly, had profound effect upon his sen-
sitive mind. His subsequent close association with Lala Pindi Das, Lai Chand
Falak and Sufi Amba Prasad gave him further inspiration for the national
cause. His two brothers, Kishan Singh and Swaran Singh, were his close
associates in the revolutionary work. It is said that quite early in life he .came
in contact with some extremists in Calcutta and some Bengali Babus frequently
visited his residence in Lahore.
He was a fiery speaker and on April 21, 1907 in a meeting at Rawal-
pindi he made a violent attack on the fresh increase of land revenue assess-
ment and appealed to the peasants to stop cultivation until the amount was
reduced. Such was the effect of his speech that the mob? in a fit of excitement
after the meeting, began to set fire to Government buildings. The Govern,
ment took a very serious view and deported Lala Lajpat Rai and Ajit Singh to
Mandalay in Burma. Both of them were released after six months. The pat-
riotic urge in Ajit Singh was not smothered by this act of deportation. Rather,
after that he was even more active and began to publish revolutionary litera-
ture. He started a paper 'Peshwa' with Sufi Amba Prasad as its Editor. When
this paper was banned, it was published under other names, such as 'Bharat
Mata', 'Sahaik' etc. He also wrote some booklets which were immediately ban-
ned by the Government. They were Baghi Museah, Muhibban-i-Watan, Ban-
dar Bant, Ungli Pakarte Pun/a Pakaia, Ghadar 1857 etc. Also, he established a
revolutionary society called Bharat Mata Society. His association with Syed
Hyder Riza was responsible for the foundation of the Indian Patriots Associa-
tion.
LVI INTRODUCTION

In 1908 he delivered a speech in Lahore congratulating Bepin Chandra


Pal on his release. He was given a warning for this speech, but undaunted by
it he gave a lecture in Bradlaugh Hall in November 1908 in which he attacked
the British system of education. The Government regarded his activities as
dangerous and planned to arrest him, but he fled away to Persia before any
harm could be done to him. There he started a paper in Persian to advocate
the cause of India's Independence. From Persia he proceeded to Rome where
he became a lecturer in a college. From there after some time he went
Geneva and Paris. When the First World War broke out, he shifted from
Europe to Rio de Janeiro in South America. From there he kept in close
touch with the Ghadar Party in San Francisco.
During the Second World War (1939-45) he shifted back to Europe
and met Subash Chandra Bose in Italy. He was allowed to return to India only
after the end of the war. But unfortunately, now he did not have long time
to live. He died on August 15, 1947, the very day India became independent.
His memorable dying words were, Thank God, my mission is fulfilled and
I am leaving this world."
In politics, he belonged to the Revolutionary School. In his view re-
volution was the only means to achieve independence. He did not approve of
the policy of the Congress and used to say, "You can't have anything by
begging. Organize your strength and snatch (it) off." He held the British
Government responsible for the economic decay of the country. The British
education system^ to him, was an agency of demoralization and denationa-
lization. In religious outlook he was broad-minded and almost secular. Accord-

AMBA PRASAD (SUFI)

He was not a Punjabi but has been included here for the reason that he
worked for many years in the Punjab. He belonged to a Kaesth family of
U . P . and was born in 1S62 at Muradabad of the same province. He was
a recognised scholar of Urdu and Persian. In 1890 he started an Urdu weekly,
called Jnm-i-tiLUIum^ and began to write articles against the British Govern-
ment. At this time such an activity on anybody's part was an act of great
daring and courage. In 1897 he was prosecuted for seditious writings and was
imprisoned for 18 months. When he was released from jail, he was even
bolder in his denunciation of the Government. He was soon arrested and
sent again to jail for six years. When at long last he was freed in 1906, he
joined, for a short time, The Hindustan, an English daily newspaper. Ajfter
that he proceeded to Hyderabad where he met the Nizam who advised him
to give up politics and lead a peaceful life. But there was no effect produced
on him and he continued to be firm as ever in his resolve to fight the Bri-
tish. From Hyderabad he proceeded to Lahore and spent many years of hectic
political activity in .collaboration with A jit Singh and othei' Punjab nationa-
lists. He joined the secret organization, Bharat Mata Society of Ajit Singh
and when the agrarian unrest erupted in the Punjab in 1907, he plunged

I himself whole-heartedly into it. A case was instituted against him for writing
I inflamatory articles in Lala Pindi Das's paper, India. But he was acquitted.
In 1908 Lala Har Dayal returned to India from England. His personality and
his ideas made deep impact upon the mind of Sufi Amba Prasad. In 1909
I he started another paper, Peshwa. The following year he shifted to Ambala
and became a reporter of The Amrit Bazar Patrika of Calcutta. At the same
time he took up the job of a domestic servant with the Commissioner of Ambala
Division posing as a dumb person. This enabled him easily to get at secret
I information which he regularly reported to his paper. Upon this the Com-
missioner felt deeply concerned and announced a prize for information about
the man responsible for spying. Nothing availed. Ultimately when he was
transferred and was about to board the train, he was completely taken aback
when his self-same dumb servant began to speak and disclosed the wSiole
secret.
After this happening it was no longer possible for Amba Prasad to stay
in India. In 1916 he left for Iran in the companv of his close friend A:jit
Singh. There unfortunately he fell into the hands of the British who ordered
his death by shooting. But before it could come to that, he expired. He now
lies buried in the city of Shiraz and a small tomb stands over the site. He is
remembered as a saint and a benefactor in Persia and every year thousands of
people gather at his mausoleum.
While in Iran, he brought out a paper Ab-i-Hayat and took part in the
national politics of that country. He was a powerful writer and a great revolu-
tionary. His deeds and ideas cast a deep spell upon the minds of revolutiona-
ries like Bhagat Singh. General stories of his courage and intrepidity are still
widely current among the people. At one public meeting at Lahore, for ins-
tance he actuallv held the Police at bav till the resolution under discussion
y

was passed and the meeting dispersed. His right arm was permanently dis-
abled but that handicap never .came in the way of his writing or physical
activity. He could write efficiently with the fingers of his feet.

number of years he was its Secretary as well as Editor of its monthly
magazine, India. Today. During the Second World War (1939-1945) he acted
as Secretary of the National Committee for India's Freedom formed at
Washington. During these years he edited the newspaper called Voice oi India.
and conducted a lecture tour in U.S.A. and Canada on problems of India's
freedom struggle. Among other things, he strove hard for the grant of citizen-
ship rights to the Indians settled in U.S.A. His 'sendees to the cause of
the Motherland were greatly appreciated in India. He was appointed India's
first Public Relations Officer on the Washington D . C . Embassy. Later, he
was nominated! as Chief Delegate of India to the U . N . Commission on
Korea (1949-1950) and as Advisor to the Indian Delegation to the U . N . O .

ARJAN SINGH GARGAJ

He was born in 1911 at Taran Taran, the prominent Sikh religious


centre in Amritsar District, and belonged to a Ramgarhia Sikh family. He
passed his Matriculation examination m 1926. Later he passed the Gyani
examination of the Punjab University, Lahore. Besides English and Punjabi
he had a good working knowledge of Urdu and Hindi. Teachings of Sikh
gurus and Sikh history made a deep impact on his sensitive mind. Among
the eminent personalities that moulded his views, were Baba Kliarak Singh,
Randhir Singh and Jawahar Lai Nehru. The ideas of Karl Marx and the
I

French Revolution (1789) also left a deep imprint on his thinking. Arjan
Singh was drawn into the freedom movement while he was still very young.
He was a great nationalist and participated in almost all movements launched
by the Indian National Congress. He was thrice imprisoned: in 1933, 1937
and 1939.
Journalism' and literature were the principal media through which he
made his main contribution to the national struggle against the alien govern- *

merit. The journals having his closest association were the Kiiti, the Jang-i-
Azadi and the Nawan Zamana. Among his boos the titles that stand out
were Shaheed and Do Pair Turna Par Turna Matak De Nal. He also wrote
poems depicting the miserable condition of Indian peasants.
In the field of social work, he devoted himself to spread of education.
It was his firm belief that the idea of nationalism could not be fully com-
prehended by uneducated persons. To concretize this belief he opened a
number of schools in villages. He had no faith in caste, community and re-
gional barriers.
A man of progressive outlook and a committed socialist, Arjan Singh strong-
ly advocated the development of small-scale as well as large-scale industry,
for without that progress, he thought, was not possible. A communist as he
was he favoured nationalization of all basic industries in the country.
INTRODUCTION

Arjan Singh had little faith in public speeches. He preferred to discuss


his problems with his collaborators in small groups.
He died on 10th January 1963.

BALDEV SINGH

He was born in 1901 at village Dunma in the then district of Ambala. He


was educated first at Ambala, and then at Khalsa College, Amritsar. His father,
Inder Singh, was an official in the employ of the Central Provinces Government
but later became a contractor and made a fortune, and then acquired some mills
of Tatanagar. Baldev Singh joined his father's business as Director of the
firm called Inder Singh and Sons Ltd. Under his supervision the business well
flourished. But in 1937 he decided to enter politics and contested a seat for
the Punjab Assembly on Akali ticket, winning it with a comfortable majority.
After that he was elected leader of the Panthic Akali Party in the Assembly.
Following the death of Sir Sunder Singh Majithia a political settlement was
reached between the Akalis and the Unionist Party (called SikandarJBaldev
Singh Pact) presentative
of the Akalis. When Khizar Hayat Khan Tiwana headed the Government
after the death of Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan, Baldev Singh was again appoia-
ted Minister to represent the Akali interests in the Government. Later on, he
shifted to the Centre7 yielding his place to Swaran Singh.
Baldev Singh played a leading role in the Sikh negotiations with the
Cripps Mission, the Cabinet Mission and Lord Mountbatten. Although in
all these talks his effort was to find out a suitable solution of the difficult
Sikh problem, yet his approach was always national rather than sectarian.
Moreover, he had implicit faith in Jawahar Lai Nehru's word that full jus-
tice would be done to the Sikhs.
He was taken in the Constituent Assembly as one of the Sikh nominees
of the Congress. A man with long ministerial experien,ce? he was included
in the Interim Government as Member for Defence. After Independence he
was again taken in the Cabinet and wss assigned the portfolio of Defence.
He remained at the helm of Sikh affairs till 1957 when he was replaced by
Swaran Singh. He died on June 29, 1961.

BAL RAJ BHALLA

Bal Raj Bhalla hailed from an illustrious family of the Punjab known
for sacrifice and so,cial work. He was born on June 1888 in Tehsil Wazirabad
of Gujranwala District. His father, Mahatma Hans Raj, was a well-known
educationist and a public leader of the Punjab and was the first Principal of
the D . A . V . College^ Lahore. Bal Raj's mother, Thakur Devi, was of a
religious bent of mind. His brother Yodh Raj, once the Chairman of the
Punjab National Bank? is now a leading business magnate of Bombay. Bal
Raj was married to Shakuntala Devi in 1925. He was an arch-revolutionary
INTRODUCTION LXI

and had a hand in most of the conspiracies hatched against the British till
1940.
Bal Raj after receiving his school education at Wazirabad, joined the
D . A . V . College, Lahore, horn where he passed his M . A . in 1911. But
because of his participation in the revolutionary movement, all of his deg-
rees were confiscated. Influenced by the ideas of Dadabhai Naroji, R. C.
Dutt, Bankim Chandra Chatterji, B. G. Tilak and Bengal revolutionaries
like Ras Bihari Bose and Khudi Ram Bose, he joined the freedom movement
at the young age of seventeen. He was also deeply influenced by the philoso-
phical and mystic literature which had .created a strong militant nationalism
in India.
He had no faith in religion. Like all revolutionaries he was assertive
by temperament, firm in convictions, and sensitive to sincere affection Cou-
rageous as he was? he was always ready to make any sacrifice for the sake of
freedom. A man of extremely puritanical habits, he was against caste system
and untouchability and fought for widow remarriage though he did not
strictly believe in equality of SQXQS.
Bal Raj was a protagonist of scientific and technical educations. He wan-
ted science and English to be made a compulsory part of the school curricu-
lum. At the same time, he realized the significance of studying Sanskrit and
Hindi. He was amongst the first to assert that the Government should impart
free education up to degree classes.
Bal Raj was a revolutionary and worked to raise an armed revolt against
the British Empire in India. To him nothing was unfair, including even mur-
der of British officials and bank robberies, for the noble cause of freedom.
He was imprisoned in 1919 for participating in a conspiracy to prepare and
throw a bomb on Lord Hardinge. The conspiracy was foiled and he was put
behind the bars for three years. He was again imprisoned in 1927 for two
and a half years in connection with the First Lahore Conspiracy Case. Later,
he had another term of imprisonment lasting for one and a half years.
He had no sympathy for the non-violent methods of the Congress. Fol-
lowing the Bengal revolutionary tradition he admired Subhash Chandra Bose
and other like-minded people. He was a follower of Lala Lajpat Rai who
was a close friend of his father. At one time he left India for England from
where he secretly went to Germany.
Although he did not hesitate to adopt any measure to expell the British
from India, yet he favoured the free government in India to be based on the
>

British pattern. Later on, he fell under the spell of Gandhiji and renounced
the creed of pistol and bomb.
He propagated his ideas through his writings and speeches in English^
Hindi and Punjabi. Like his father he was enthusiastic about disseminating
rural education, but due to his preoccupation with revolutionary activities^ he
could hardly do anything in this respect. He was an intellectual and com-
manded great respect in academic circles.

BANARSI DAS GUPTA

Banarsi Das Gupta a freedom fighter of long standing, was born at vil-
lage Manehru in Mahendergarh District of Haryana in 1918. He passed his
Matriculation from Dadri and his B.A. examination from the Birla College,
Pilani (Rajasthan). He started his political career at a very young age. In
his early twenties he attended the All-India States Peoples Conference held
at Ludhiana in 1938. The Conference which was presided over by Pt. Jawa-
har Lai Nehru, was a major step in the co-ordination of freedom struggles in
British India and Princely India.
During the Ludhiana Conference, political workers from the Jind State
assembled under the leadership of Hans Raj Rehbar and founded the Jind
State Praja Mandal. With the formation of this Praja Mandal B.D. Gupta's
life became a long story of incessant struggle. He was imprisoned in the Jind
State for six months in 1941 in connection with India's fight for liberation
from the British and the British-backed Rajas. He was interned for three
years in his village during the Quit India movement of 1942.
Mr. Gupta served at different times as President and Secretary of the Jind
State Praja Mandal. In 1946 he represented Bhiwani in the Jind State As-
sembly. Afterwards, he made Bhiwani the major base of his activities.
As a member of the Congress, B.D. Gupta served as President of the
Hissar District Congress Committee for seven years and as member of the All-
India Congress Committee for almost a decade.
For eight years he edited Apna Desh, a Hindi weekly. At present he is
Speaker of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha.

BHAGAT' SINGH

He belongs to the front rank of Punjabi heroes martyred in the cause of


national movement. He was the scion of a Sandhu Jat family which originally
resided in the village Khatkar Kalan in Jullundur District but at the time of
Bhagat Singh's birth was settled at the village Banga (Chak No. 105) in
Lyallpur District. He was born on September 27? 1907. His grandfather
Arjan Singh, his father Kishan Singh and his uncle Ajit Singh were all well-
known for their advocacy of reforms and their revolutionary activities. His
mother Vidya Vati had the reputation of being a pious and devoted woman.
Professionally, his father was an insurance agent, mcharge of the Punjab
branch of Industrial Prudential and Wulhan Insurance Company.
Bhagat Singh received his early education at the primary school in his
village. Having passed the fifth class examination from that school he joined

and the Khilafat movement. In response to Mahatma Gandhi's call for non-
cooperation in 1921, Bhagat Singh left his school and joined the National Col-
lege newly opened at Lahore. At this college which was a centre of revolu-
tionary activities, he came into contact with revolutionaries like Bhagwati
Charan, Sukhdev, Yashpai, Ram Kishan and Tirath Ram. He passed his
F.A. examination but left his studies while he was studying for his B.A. exa-
mination. He went to Kanpur early in 1924 where he met Ganesh Shankar
Vidyarthi, B. K. Dutt, Chander Shekhar Azad and some Bengali revolution-
aries. He soon became member of the Hindustan Republican Association
formed by the revolutionaries of Uttar Pradesh and was initiated into revo-
lutionary activities. On the request of his father, he returned to Lahore early
in 1925. On reaching his village^ he arranged for the reception of an Akali
Jatha which was on its way to Jaito. Thereafter, he worked for a
newspaper of Delhi, Vii Aijun but only for about five or six months. He
returned to Lahore and joined the Kirti Kisan Party founded by Sohan Singh
Josh. Shortly after^ in association with other revolutionaries, he founded a
new association known as Nau Jawan Bharat Sabha, with himself as its Sec-
retary.
In October 1927 Bhagat Singh was arrested for his objectionable activi-
ties and bound for Rs. 60,000. In July 1928 prominent revolutionaries of
India decided to accentuate their activities and held a meeting in September
1928 at Kotla Feroz Shah in Delhi. Bhagat Singh was one of the key figures
in this meeting. When the country was in the grip of 'Simon, go back' agita-
tion, Lala Lajpat Rai organised a procession to register the protest of Lahore
people against the Simon Commission. Bhagat Singh and his co-workers mar-
ched in the forefront of this procession. The brutal attack of the police
on Lala Lajpat Rai caused his death on 17th November 1928. The whole
of the Punjab was in rage at the death of their beloved leader and Bhagat
Singh determined to avenge his death by shooting Scott and other British
officials responsible for this foul deed. He shot down Assistant Superintendent
Saunders mistaking him for Scott and making a dramatic escape from Lahore
travelled to Calcutta in the guise of a rich man accompanied by his wife and
a servant. After some time? he left Calcutta and established a bomb factory
at Agra. Having no faith in Gandhiji's non-violence, the revolutionaries de-
cided to attract the attention of people by intimidating the Government by
throwing bombs in the Central Assembly Hall. In pursuance of this decision
Bhagat Singh and B.K. Dutt threw two bombs while the Assembly was in ses-
sion. Bhagat Singh was arrested on the spot. During his trial, he refused to
employ any defence counsel. In the jail, he went on hunger strike to secure
humanitarian treatment for fellow political prisoners. Bhagat Singh alongwith
Sukh Dev and Raj Guru was awarded death sentence by a special tribunal on
7th October 1930. Despite great popular pressure and numerous appeals by
political leaders of India, Bhagat Singh and his associates were hanged in the
early hours of 23rd March 1931. Their bodies were cremated on the bank of
the Sutlej in Ferozepur. He was just 23 years, 5 months and 27 days old
when he died ; but he had lived long enough to become a legend, a symbol and
LXIV INTRODUCTION

a source of inspiration for all future freedom fighters of India.

BHAGWATI CHARAN

Bhagwati Charan was born at Lahore in a Brahmin family of Gujrat


District. His father Rai Sahib Pt. Shiv Charan was a railway official. Bhag-
wati Charan was married to Durga Devi who herself made a great contribu-
tion in the freedom movement. He passed his B.A. examination from the
National College founded and run by Lala Lajpat Rai. It was during his
stay in this college that he was initiated into the revolutionary movement. In
collaboration with Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev, he founded a study circle on
the model of Russian revolutionaries.
In 1927 this revolutionary group formed the Nau Jawan Bharat Sabha
with Bhagwati Charan as Propaganda Secretary. Both Bhagat Singh and
Bhagwati Charan undertook an extensive tour of the Punjab and delivered
lectures with the help of lantern slides on the lives of Indian revolutionaries.
But they were soon prohibited from their work by the Punjab Government.
Bhagwati's house in Lahore was the meeting place of the revolutionaries.
The sad episode of Lala Lajpat Rai's death deeply stirred their minds. Bhag-
wati Charan was party to the murder of Saunders and the throwing of bombs
in the Central Assembly Hall by Bhagat Singh and B.K. Duitt. He made an
abortive attempt to explode the Viceroy's railway coach approaching Delhi.
In 1930 Bhagwati along with his friends made strenuous efforts to get Bhagat
Singh and his associates released from the Lahore jail. For this purpose a
plan was prepared and first June 1930 was fixed as the D Day. But all his
efforts were dashed to the ground because of his sudden and tragic death on
May 28 1930 as the result of a bomb exploding in his hand during its test-
ing on the bank of the Ravi. His last words mark the depth of his emotional
involvement in the freedom struggle. "Had this death been late by two
days, I would have attained more success before dying. Now that desire of
mine has remained unfulfilled."
After Bhagwati's death, his mission was continued for some years by his
widow, Durga Devi, popularly called Durga Bhabi. She made an attempt
upon the life of Sir Malcolm Hailey but he escaped. For this she was im-
prisoned for three years. After her release she became President of the Delhi
Congress Committee. Shortly after, she retired from politics and took to
teaching.
Though a Brahmin by birth, Bhagwati Charan did not suffer from caste
prejudices. He was liberal in outlook and always worked for Hindu-Muslim
unity. Having no faith in the non-violent philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi he
preached and practised the creed of bomb and pistol to terrorise and oust the
British Government from India. When Mahatma Gandhi published a pam-
phlet denouncing the creed of violence, he brought out a counter pamphlet
in defence of the revolutionary creed and distributed it publicly. He attri-
buted all economic ills of the country to foreign rule and appealed to the
youth and workers of the country to revolt against the authority. He was a
INTRODUCTION LXV

socialist who felt convinced that poverty and want in India could only be re-
moved by a violent revolution and a complete overhaul of the social system.

BHIM SEN SACHAR

He belongs to an old respectable family of Wazirabad and was born in


1894 at Peshawar where his father, R . S . Nanak Chand, was then residing.
He got his primary education at Peshawar. After that he was admitted in the
D . A . V . High School^ Lahore wherefrom he passed his Matriculation exa-
mination. Then he joined the D . A . V . College, Lahore and passed his B.A.
in 1918. He passed the LL.B. examination in 1924 and forthwith joined
the Lahore Bar and began to practise as a lawyer.
When the Non-Cooperation movement was started iu 1921 Bhim Sen,
like so many others all over the country, joined the Indian National Congress,
gave up wearing foreign clothes and, under the tutelage of Lala Lajpat Rai,
became an earnest fighter in the struggle for India's freedom. This early con-
tact of his with the Congress stood the test of time and has continued un-
broken and undisturbed up to this day.
Bhim Sen Sachar was appointed Secretary of the Municipal Committee
of Gujranwala in 1922. Later on, he was its Chairman for a few years. He
was mainly responsible for the formation in 1924, of the Gujranwala Electric
Supply Company. His work in effecting improvements in the civil adminis-
tration of Gujranwala won him high praise from common people as well as
officials. The year 1932 saw his entrance in the insurance business. He foun-
ded the Sunlight Insurance Company of which he was the Managing Direc-
tor for years on end. It is a signal tribute to his business acumen, capability
and assiduity that this concern has grown into a sound and flourishing under-
taking with a network of branches and agencies spread all over the country.
Started at Lahore it had to shift its head office to New Delhi after the Parti-
ion. The main interest of Bhim Sen, however, continued to be participation
in the national struggle for freedom. He was first arrested and sentenced to
six months' imprisonment in 1929 for his political activities. In 1937 he was
elected to the Punjab Legislative Assembly on Congress ticket from the Rawal-
pindi constituency. In the subsequent elections of the pre-Partition period
as well he was returned to the Punjab Legislature. He took an active part in
the Individual Civil Disobedience movement started by Mahatma Gandhi
and was arrested in 1940 for offering Satyagraha. In 1941 he was elected lea-
der of the Congress Legislature Party in the Punjab. His party formed the
opposition and played a conspicious role in the deliberations of the legislature.
His activities as a legislator did not, however, keep him away from participa-
tion in the Congress movement and he was once again arrested in 1942
and sent to jail When he came out, he displayed his characteristic intrepidity
by going to the Legislative Assembly in open defiance of the ban imposed
upon his doing so.
In 1946 he accepted office as Finance Minister in the Coalition Minis-
try headed by Malik Khizar Hayat Khan Tiwana. All along he stoutly opposed
LXVI INTRODUCTION

the Muslim League's demand for Pakistan, and when this appeared inevitable,
he joined other eminent Hindu and Sikh leaders in demanding partition of
the Punjab, In November 1947 he shifted to Amritsar and devoted himself
to the welfare of the uprooted people from West Pakistan. In January 1948
he proceeded to New Delhi where also he addressed himself to the welfare
of the displaced people. In 1948 he was elected to the East Punjab legisla-
tive Assembly and he became Chief Minister of the Punjab in 1949. It
was during this period that he evolved a solution of the thorny linguistic

His national leanings were discernible even during his teen years. He was
at the time the only Khadi-clad student in the whole school. After passing
Matriculation he went to the Forman Christian College, Lahore and gradua-
ted from there. Already, he was under the influence of the struggle for free-
dom being conducted by the Indian National Congress. When he was stu-
dying at Lahore, he was expelled from the college hostel for preaching sedi-
tion to the college students. In 1929 when Lahore became the venue of the
historic session of the Indian National Congress under the presidentship of
Lai
colle
dents Union. Lahore. Here too he was
expelled from the college hostel for taking part in anti-British activities. But
he remained persistent and undaunted by such punishments. He passed
out of the Law College in 1932 and set up his legal practice in Sunam, a dis-
trict town in the Patiala State. He soon became a leading advocate and was
either President or Secretary of the local Bar Association for ten years. He
made his mark by conducting, free of charge, the cases of oppressed tenants
and patriots who were constantly harassed by State officials.
From almost the beginning of his legal career at Sunam he interested
himself in the activities of the Praja Mandal movement. In 1938 about one
hundred externees and exiles returned to the State and gave a fresh impetus
to political activity there. Brish Bhan arranged a public reception in their
honour. It was taken as a challenge to the authority of the State. He was
INTRODUCTION LXVII

now subjected to much pressure and intimidation. But he had chosen the
patriotic path out of deep conviction and he neither faltered in his resolve
nor ever retraced his steps. He had decided to rekindle the flickering flame
of freedom lighted by Sewa Singh Thikriwala, the founder of the Praja Man-
dal movement, in the State. In Brish Bhan this movement had found its new
leader.
In 1939 the All India States Peoples Conference held its momentous ses-
sion at Ludhiana under the presidentship of Jawahar Lai Nehru. Brish Bhan
was a member of the executive and financial secretarv of the Conference. Soon
after his return from Ludhiana he was sentenced to one vear's rigorous imprison-
ment under Hidayat 1988 (ordinance of 1932). Paternal wrath followed
and he was disinherited. All the same, he attended the historic All India Con-
gress Committee Session at Bombay in 1942. Inspired by the 'do or die' call
of Mahatma Gandhi^ he whippped up, on his return, an agitation in the Pun-
jab and Punjab States. Consequently, he was arrested and detained by the
Punjab Government. He was released towards the end of 1944 but was in-
terned at Sunam. Immediately after the removal of restrictions on him in
1946, he organized a State-wide agitation against the autocratic Hidayat 1988.
As a result of this, he was again arrested at Bhatinda along with a large num^
ber of his followers. The movement, however, gained momentum and the
objectionable Hidayat had to be repealed.
In the beginning of 1946 he left his practice to devote his full time to
the service of his people. He became a member of the executive of the All
India States Peoples Conference. In May the same year he led the Faridkot
Satyagiaha in which thousands of volunteers from all over the Punjab States
courted arrest and underwent severe physical tortures. This epic fight brought
out Brish Bhan as a leader of all-India fame. Henceforth, he was the unques-
tioned leader of the people of the Punjab States and for several years .continu-
ously was President of the Pepsu State Congress Committee.
After the formation of the Pepsu in 1948, Brish Bhan got the opporto-
nity of forming a popular ministry with himself at its head. During his tenure
of power he introduced a number of agrarian, administrative, and education-
al reforms. As Pepsu was a very small State and ladked political stability, he
advocated the idea that it should be merged with the neighbouring State of the
Punjab. The idea was accepted by the States Reorganization Commission in
1956.
Brish Bhan is still an active practising politician. At present he is a sitting
member of the Punjab Legislature and an eminent leader of the ruling Con-
Party

CHANDEH SHEKHAR AZAD

He was a non-Punjabi but he is being mentioned here for the reason


that he chose Punjab as a major arena of his revolutionary activities. He was
born on July 23, 1906 at village Bhora of District Jhabua, now in Madliya
Lxvni INTRODUCTION

Pradesh. His parents were Sita Ram Tiwari and Jagrani Devi. Chander
Shekhar was one of the most intrepid revolutionaries that the country produc-
ed in the course of the freedom struggle. He started participating in anti-
British activities while he was yet a student. He was only 14 years old when
he was first arrested for taking part in the Non-Cooperation movement started
by Mahatma Gandhi in 1921. After his release from imprisonment in 1922,
he joined the Indian Revolutionarv Party and the Hindustan Socialist Repnb-
lican Army. He was closely associated with Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and other
prominent revolutionaries who were so active during the twenties of the pre-
sent century? particularly after the appointment of the Simon Commission.
He played an active role in several political dacoities including the Kakori
Mail Dacoity. He was among the people behind the assassination of A.S.P.
Saunders who was killed by mistake for the murderous assault on Lala Lajpat Rai.
He was also connected with the attempt upon the life of the Punjab Gover-
nor Sir G.F. de Montmorencv at the Convocation of the Punjab University.
Lahore in 1930. He was actively involved in the bomb explosions in the
Central Legislative Assembly on April 8, 1929. For many years thereafter, he
remained underground to evade arrest by the Police which had announced
a reward of Rs. 30^000 for his capture. Ultimately, through the mischief of a
colleague of his, the Police traced him out in the Alfred Park of Allahabad on
February 27? 1931. Completely unnerved by the sudden appearance of the
Police, he gave a tough fight and perished fighting valiantly in the true spirit
of a hero that he was.

DARBARA SINGH

INTRODUCTION LXix

Akali movement (1921-1925).


He was arrested in connection with the Keys Morcha and imprisoned

him in 1932, as a result of which he was sentenced to jail for a term of l i
years. In 1936 he took part in the Kisan movement and two years later head-
ed a pig procession of farmers, which was lathi-charged, he himself receiving
severe blows. For the same offence he was arrested and sent to the Shahpur jail
for one year's rigorous imprisonment. In 1942 he took part in the Quit India
movement and was sentenced to three years' imprisonment. After Indepen-
dence as well? he continued to lead a life of dedicated service to the nation.
His end was fully in keeping with his past career of sacrifice, devotion
and suffering. On October 27, 1969 he died a martyr, a public hero, after
74 days' unbroken fast undertaken over the question of faithful observance
of solemn pledges openly made before the public.

DES RAJ

/Des Raj was born in July 1914 at village Phaphra in the Bhatinda District
of Patiala State. His father, Lala Dhani Ram, was in State service. Des
Raj received his education at the High School, Barnala, Mahendra College^
Patiala, and Law College^ Lahore. He took his degree of LL.B. in 1940 from
Lahore.
He started his career as a practising lawyer but after a year or so, took
up service in the Civil Supplies Department of the Government of India.
While he was still in service, he was arrested in his office during the Quit
India movement of 1942. When he was released in 1943, his entry into the
provinces of Delhi and Punjab was banned.
In 1943 he joined the Praja Mandal movement. He was President of
the Mansa Tehsil Praja Mandal, General Secretary and then, President of
*

the Patiala Praja Mandal. He was imprisoned in 1946 for taking part in the
Satyagiaha movement.
During his stay in Mansa he was prominently associated with the tenants'
agitation against the Biswedars. Untold atrocities were perpetrated upon poor
tenants by landlords with the support of State administration. Des Raj spon-
sored their cause and succeeded in getting some of their grievances redressed.
He also addressed himself to the problems of landless agricultural labourers
who had to depend upon big zamindars for their living.
Lxx INTRODUCTION

After Independence, Des Raj continued to hold important positions in


the political organizations of the Pepsu, such as the Mansa Tehsil Congress
Committee and the Pepsu Congress Executive Committee. He was appoint-
ed Minister for Civil Supplies and Transport in the Pepsu Government in
1951.

DURGA DAS KHANNA

Durga Das Khanna, son of Lala Jai Chand Khanna, was born on 8th Feb-
ruary 1909. He matriculated from the Central Model School, Lahore in 1924
and graduated from the Forman Christian College of the same city in 1929.
Having passed his B.A., he joined the Law College, Lahore and got the degree
of LL.B. After that he became a practising lawyer. He joined the band of
revolutionaries led by Bhagat Singh in 1926 and became an active member
of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association. As such? he mainly ope-
rated on the students front and organized a number of students unions in the
Punjab Province. The Lahore Students Union in which he occupied various
offices at various times, became the vanguard of the revolutionary movement.

Durga Das was arrested on several occasions. In December 1930 he was haul-
ed up in connection with the conspiracy to shoot the Punjab Governor, Sir
G. F. de Montmorency, in which Hari Kishan was sentenced to death. Al-
though a death sentence was passed against him also, yet the charge could not
be proved and he had to be released. Then he became member of the Indian
National Congress and in 1942 took active part in the Quit India movement
started by Mahatma Gandhi. He was detained as a security prisoner for two
and a half years in different jails such as Lahore Fort, Lahore Central Jail and
Ferozepur Jail. He obtained his release towards the end of 1945. In 1946
he was elected member of the Lahore Corporation.
In 1960 he was elected to the Punjab Legislative Council. As a legisla-
tor he made such a mark that in 1965 he was elected Chairman of the same
body.

DYAL SINGH MAJITHIA

Dyal Singh Majithia was son of Lehna Singh and grandson of Desa Singh
Majithia who were both among the most distinguished nobles of Maharaja
Ran jit Singh. Just before the outbreak of the first Anglo-Sikh war, his father
Lehna Singh retired to Banaras (modern U.P.) where he died in A.D. 1854.
It was during this period that Dyal Singh was born in A.D. 1849. After the
death of his father, Dyal Singh came to his village, Majitha 12 miles north-
east of Amritsar. Since he was a minor then, Raja Teja Singh was appointed
his guardian. He passed his early life in Majitha, Amritsar and Batala and re-
ceived his early education from a Christian mission school. In 1874 when
he was in his mid-twenties, he went to England and remained there for about
two years. He returned to Punjab in 1876. This tour considerably broadened
his vision. He was greatly influenced by Western liberalism and thereafter
*

INTRODUCTION LXXI

began to take keen interest in the social welfare of his countrymen irrespective
of caste and creed. He denounced caste system and untouchability, advocat-
ed widow remarriage and female education. His foreign tour affected his re-
ligious outlook also. During his stay in England he discarded the outward
Sikh symbols and on his return to India employed a Muslim cook with the
result that orthodox people began to look upon him with suspicion and pre-
judice.
With regard to his political ideas Dyal Singh belonged to the moderate
school. He believed that political rights must be deserved by his countrymen
before they could be enjoyed, and to deserve political rights, he thought, it
was necessary to liberalise social customs and to remove social shac&les by
spread of liberal education. He remarked, "Down with shams and hypocrisies
which play such a prominent part in the life of Indian people. Weed out old
and worn-out customs, stupid prejudices and superstitious beliefs. Do away
with poverty, misery and ignorance and pull down false gods. Mar.ch with
times, feed the good? trample down the evil and create a new India on new
forces of vitality and old elements of wisdom". Speaking in 1893 as Chair-
man of the Reception Committee of the Indian National Congress in Lahore
he said, "What the Congress contends is not that country should be trans-
ferred from English to Indian hands no not change of hands, for it would
be entirely suicidal, but that the people should be governed on the broad
principles which have been held by the eminent British statesmen and ad-
ministrators themselves to be the most conducive to the interests of both
rulers and subjects". He showered praises on Lord William Bentinck and
Lord Ripon for their reforms. He believed that social reforms should precede
political development. He wrote, "We happily live under a constitution whose
watchword is freedom and whose main pillar is toleration".
The Majithia Sardar was a constructive genius. He founded several insti-
tutions and promoted the cause of liberal education. In order to spread his
views of social uplift, he started a newspaper named The Tribune in 1881. He
also founded a Union Academy in 1896 which was subsequently converted
into the Dyal Singh School. He was the first Chairman of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Punjab National Bank which came into existence with his efforts:.
All these institutions which have been serving the country up to this day, con-
stitute a permanent memorial to his farsighted genius and patriotism.
Before his death in 1898 the Majithia Sardar donated to his school, col-
lege and press his entire property leaving aside a small portion for his wife?
Bhagwan Kaur. This is a clear proof of his whole-hearted devotion to the
national cause. He had no .child of his own but the institutions founded by
him would keep his memory fresh in the minds of his countrymen for ever.

of Jallianwala Bagh (1919) gave him a rude shaking and turned his mind to
the national struggle for freedom.
Falling under the spell of Lala Lajpat Raf s magnetic personality, Gopi
Chand joined the Indian National Congress in 1921. In the same year he
was elected Secretary of the City Congress Committee as well as Secretary
of the District Congress Committee. The following year he became President
of the City Congress Committee. At the same time, he became a member of
the Provincial Congress Committee. From 1921 to 1926 his membership of
this body was continuous but after that it proceeded with intervening gaps
now and then. He took an active and leading part in various Congress move-
ments and was several times arrested and kept in jail. He took keen interest
in the constructive programme of Mahatma Gandhi. Particularly, he interested
himself in the propagation of Khadi and was an agent of the All India Spin-
ners Association and a trustee of the All-India Village Industries Asso-
ciation. So far as the latter was concerned^ he was on its Board of
Management for many years. Another branch of the Congress programme
to which he devoted himself was the removal of untouchability and uplift of
depressed classes, and for a long time he was member of the Harijan Sewak
Sangh, being President of its Punjab branch.
He was member of the Lahore Municipal Committee from 1920 to 1924.
He became elected member of the Punjab Legislative Council in 1927 and
remained so till 1929. He was elected to the Punjab Legislative Assembly
1937 and when the Unionist Ministry was formed under the leadership qf Sir
Sikandar Hayat Khan, he became the leader iof the opposition, a rolle in
V

which he acquitted himself with distinction and credit. He left the Punjab
Assembly in 1940. In 1946 he was re-elected to the Punjab Assembly and his
membebrship continued till 1951. It was a measure of his importance that he
was appointed a member of the Punjab Partition Committee. On 11th August
1947, on the dawn of Independence, he became Chief Minister of the
East Punjab Province. During the next few years, till June 1951, he was
Minister During this

significant, nevertheless, for his protest against the increasing deterioration in
Congress ideology.
In addition to politics and professional work he found time to write a
book, 'Constructive Programme as defined by GandhijF and a number of arti-
cles and pamphlets dealing with some burning que&ttfons of the time. In
recognition of his contributions the Panjab University, then located at Solan,
conferred upon him the honorary degree of LL.D. He died on 26 December,
1966.

GULAB SINGH
*

He was born in 1913 at Burki near Rawalpindi, now in Pakistan, the


names of his parents being Wazir Singh and Gujri Devi. His father was a
petty businessman belonging to the Bindra sub-caste.
Gulab Singh received his education first at the District Board Middle
School, Gujarkhan and then at the Khalsa High School, Lahore from where
he passed his Matriculation examination. During his stay at the Khalsa High
School he was greatly influenced by one teacher, Dewan Singh, who by nar-
rating stories of Sikh heroes and Babbar Akalis inspired him to become a re-
volutionarv. Gulab Singh also took keen interest in the freedom struggles
of Ireland and Italy. He read with great zeal biographies of Garibaldi and
Mazzini? proceedings of various conspiracy .cases, 1914-15 and accounts of
adventurous deeds of the Ghadar movement. Later, he came in close con-
tact with revolutionary leaders, such as Chander Shekhar Azad, Bhagwati
Charan, Bhagat Singh and B.K. Dutt ? and himself became a revolutionary
at the time when he was just 16 years of age. He was involved in the plot
hatched in 1930 to derail the Viceroy's train at Delhi. When Bhagat Singh
was in jail awaiting the day of his execution, Gulab Singh was party to the
efforts of the revolutionary group to secure his release. He was tried in the
Second Lahore Conspiracy Case, 1930 and sentenced to death, but the sen-
tence was later commuted to life transportation. He was released in 1946
after 16 years of imprisonment. After Independence he joined the Socialist
Party. Till then his belief had been that political liberty should be given
preference over social reform. His interest in the social and economic wel-
fare of his people was, even then, never in doubt. He perceived the economic
interest of Great Britain in retaining her hold on India and thought that
the British deliberately ignored the growth of Indian industry. For the uplift
of Indian villages he underscored the need of promoting cottage industries
but he regarded the development of heavy industry as equally necessary for
the progress of the country.
He has written an account of his political adventures centring round
what he stated was his passionate belief: "Act so that others may be inspired
to act similarly out of their own free will".
His younger brother, Amrik Singh, was also a great freedom fighter and
LXXIV INTRODUCTION

was awarded death sentence.

GURDIT SINGH (BABA)

He was born in 1860 at Sarhali, a place in the Amritsar District of the


Punjab, 24 miles from Amritsar and 12 miles from Taran Taran. His father
Hukam Singh was a petty peasant who had, besides Gurdit Singh, two sons
and one daughter. His grandfather, Rattan Singh, had been a high-ranking
military officer in the Khalsa Army and had fought against the British during
the Anglo-Sikh wars. Rattan Singh was so patriotic that he declined the
British offer of a Jagir after the annexation of the Punjab. Later on, Hukam
b went to Malaya where he settled down as a contractor.
Gurdit Singh received little education in his childhood. No doubt, he
was admitted to a local school, Chubacha Sahib, where Gurmukhi and Gur-
bani were taught but he did not like the harsh treatment of his teacher and
left the school. 'However, at the age of 12 or 13 he privately acquired ele-
mentary education so as to be able to correspond with his father in Malaya.
This incidentally enabled him later on to write an exciting account of his
Komagata Maru adventure under the title, 'Guru Nanak JTahaz de Musafran di
Dard Bhari Katha'.
Gurdit Singh married twice, first in 1885 and then, after the death of
his first wife, in 1904. The first wife bore him two daughters and one son,
but all the three died. The second wife bore him one son, Balwant Singh,
who survived his father. He did not marry after the death of his second wife
in 1912.
Gurdit Singh visited Malaya in about 1885 but returned to India shortly
after. He again went there in the beginning of the 2Qth century and con-
ducted business in Singapore and Malaya as a contractor and became prosper-
ous. He returned from there in 1909. In 1911 he raised his voice against
forced labour, begar. He wrote to the Government complaining against offi-
cials who forced poor villagers to work for them without remuneration and
when he received no response^ he exhorted the people of his village to refuse
to be subjected to begar.

The ship, renamed as Guru Nanak Jahaz, had a total of 372 passengers out
of whom 351 were Sikhs and 21 Punjabi Muslims. The ship sailed from Hong
Kong to Vancouver on April 3, 1914. The obstructions put up by the alien
authorities and the hardships faced by its passengers turned them into staunch
nationalists. When the ship reached Vancouver on May 22, 1914 it was
not allowed to anchor and was attacked by the police at night. The attack
was repulsed by the hungry passengers but it .created a stir among the Indians
in Canada, and at one time they even planned to burn and destroy the city
of Vancouver in case the passengers were attacked by a warship. The situa-
tion was saved by a timely agreement and the ship sailed back to India. It
INTRODUCTION LXXV

reached Budge Budge on September 29, 1914. However, the passengers were
not allowed to enter Calcutta, they were rather ordered to board a Punjab-
bound train specially arranged for the purpose. This they refused to do and
a bloody scene was enacted. Many of the passengers were shot dead, a great
many escaped. Baba Gurdit Singh himself escaped and remained under-
ground for yeans till in 1920 on the advice of Mahatma Gandhi he made a
voluntary surrender and was imprisoned for five years.
He was an orthodox Sikh with a firm faith in the Sikh Gurus? particu-
larly Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh. But he had a liberal outlook
and respected all religions. He was a fiery speaker in Punjabi and made high-
ly inspiring speeches in the course of his voyage, specially in the Hong Kong
and Shinghai gurdwaras. His commanding personality was readily accepted
by the passengers of the Komagata Maru and others who came in contact with
him. He attributed all their sufferings to the British Government whom he
described as cruel and unjust. He exhorted his people to forge unity through
mutual love and to make determined efforts if they wanted to get justice from
this Government and to restore ancient glory. For this noble cause he sacri-
ficed his all. He condemned the British for their massacres of Budge Budge
and Jallianwala Bagh.

GURMUKtl SINGH MUSSAFFIR

He was born in 1899 at Adhwal in the district of Campbellpur, now in


Pakistan. The place noted for producing soldiers, produced this poet, hu-
morist and politician. He received his education at Rawalpindi and Lahore.
He started his life in a humble but noble way as a teacher in the Khalsa
High School, Kallar. There he worked under the headmastership of Master
Tara Singh.
When the Akali movement started in 1921^ he resigned his post in the
school. Though this movement was directed towards freeing the Sikh
religious places from the corrupt management and control of the
hereditary class of Mahants or Pu/aris, it assumed the character of
a national struggle against the British Government, and the Indian
National Congress naturally extended its moral support to it. While leading
a Jatha in the Akali agitation, Gurmukh Singh Mussaffir was arrested for the
first time in 1922. Some years after his release from imprisonment he was
elected Jathedar (head) of the Akal Takhat Sahib, Amritsar. This position
he continued to occupy for many years. He was also for some years General
Secretary of the S . G . P . C . and the Shiromani Akali Dal.
When the Civil Disobedience movement was started in 1930, Gurmukh
Singh took an active part in it and on account of that was imprisoned for one
year. In 1930 he became member of the All India Congress Committee — an
honour that has rested with him up to now.
MusafEr was the chief editor of the widely read Punjabi paper,
Akali, from 1937 to 1940. In 1940 he gave up this responsibility on account
of his differences with Master Tara Singli. Through his writings in the columns

He was again arrested during the Individual Satyagraha movement of

HARBANS SINGH {GIANl)

He was born at village Sirhala Khurd, District Hoshiarpur. His father


Khem Singh, was an army Havaldar. When he retired from his service and
returned to settle down in his village, he sought the co-operation of his people
in opening a school in the village on nationalist lines where education should
be free for all children. The appeal that he made on this occasion evoked an
immediate response. He said, "Brothers, the schools started by the British are
preaching slavery. Let us boycott them and open a national school of ours in
which children should receive education free of charge/'
In 1942 Havaldar Khem Singh and his younger brother Surjan Singh were
arrested for taking part in the Akali movement and the school was forcibly
closed. At that time Harbans Singh was studying at the Khalsa School Badon.
Hearing of the arrest of his father, he .consulted some of his school friends and
forthwith left his studies to take an active part in the Akali struggle against
the British. At that time the Guru Ka Bagh Morcha was in full swing. Giani

bers of the Jatha, he was subjected to ruthless lathi blows which he braved
with unique courage and composure of mind. After the lathi-charge he was
arrested and detained in the Campbellpur jail. While in prison, he was again
subjected to harassment and torture but he remained undaunted as before
After his release he joined the Babbar Akali Party in the conviction that onlv

INTRODUCTION LXXVII

revolutionary methods could be effective in fighting an enemy like the British.


The Babbar movement was, however, crushed by the Government. But Giani
Harbans Singh was lucky enough to survive and take part in subsequent na-
tional movements.
In 1930-31 he participated in the Civil Disobedience movement of the
Indian National Congress and had to undergo imprisonment for one year.
After the outbreak of the Second World War (1939-45), Harbans Singh
again became active in his anti-Government activities. Suspecting him, the
Government posted a police chowki at his village Sirhala Khurd. But he proved
too clever for the police and went underground to carry on his revolutionary
programme. A big reward was announced by the Government for anyone help-
ing in effecting his arrest. For a long time he could not be traced. But then
through the treachery of a colleague of his, he was arrested at village Jama
Rai, District Amritsar. A dangerous man as he was considered, he was at once
removed to the Lahore Fort where he was put under trial for charges connec-
ted with the Kalka Shooting Case and the Kiratpur Murder Case. The court
sentenced him to death and he was hanged on 3rd April 1944.

HAR DAYAL (LALA)

Lala Har Dayal played a very important role in the struggle for India's
independence. He was born at Delhi on October 14, 1884. His father, Gauri
Dayal Mathur, a reader in the district courts at Delhi, was not a man of
wealth but was a scholar of Persian and Urdu. Har Dayal was the sixth of his
seven children.
He received his school education at Delhi. For higher education, he
sought admission in the Government College, Lahore from where he took
his Master of Arts degree in English Literature, standing at the top of the list
of successful candidates. In another year, he did M.A. in History and establis-
ed a new record in the University. He was awarded a state scholarship by the
Government of India which entitled him to a three years' course of post-gra-
duate studies at Oxford in England. Going abroad he studied for the Honours
School in Modern History. Like many young Indians, he had the ambition to
take the I . C . S . examination. But he soon dropped the idea and plunged
into the struggle for freedom of India.
Long before he left for England, he was married to Mrs. Sunder Rani,
daughter of Dewan Gopal Chand of Meerut^ whom he took to England on his
return to India a year after.
In England he developed close associations with revolutionaries and re-
formers like C . F . Andrews, Bhai Parmanand, Shymaji Krishna Varma etc.
becoming a member association he
came in close contact with Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. A missionary by spirit,
he began to contribute profusely in the Indian Sociologist. Registering his
protest against the British oppression of Indians, especially the arrests of
Lajpat Rai and Ajit Singh in 1907, he resigned his state scholarship in Eng.
land and returned to carry on political work at Lahore. On his way to the

training of young men at Lahore. During this period he regularly contributed
to The Modern Review and The Pun/'abee. He openly associated himself with
the revolutionaries. His influence upon students was particularly very great
and a large number of them became his followers. As the situation became
tense, he left India and reached London in September 1908.

After the murder of Sir W . C . Wyllie by Madan Lai Dhingra, the re-
volutionaries shifted from London to Paris. Har Dayal also went to Paris and
inaugurated The Bande Matram, a monthly journal, in September 1909. On
July 8, 1910, the leap of the younger Savarakar created a great sensation in the
world. :pat Find-
ing Paris not congenial for revolutionary activities, Har Dayal left for U.S.A.
via West Indies and South America. In January 1911 he reached Boston and
*

soon after left for Harvard to meet Bhai Teja Singh, a prominent Punjabi in
U.S.A. From Harvard he went to Honolulu and came back to San Francisco.
Here in collaboration with Bhai Parmanand^ he began to work for the rejuvena-
tion of his countrymen. With the help of Sikh farmers in California, he instituted
six scholarships for Indian youth to inspire them to work for the welfare of India.
As his popularity increased and the First World War drew closer, he helped
to organise the Ghadar movement in U.S.A. In 1913, Har Dayal was General
Secretary of the Hindustan Ghadar Party, also called Hindi Association of Paci-
fic Coast. With the contributions from Indians abroad, a press was establish-
ed and a paper, The Ghadar, was brought out in many languages. As Har Dayal
was the real brain behind the movement^ the British Government pressed the
U.S. Government to arrest him.. Consequently, he migrated to Germany and
in October 1914 sought German support for the liberation of India.
Distressed at the attitude of the German Government, he left Germany
on October 10, 1918 for Stockholm and finally settled down in Sweden where
he earned his livelihood by teaching and lecturing. He stayed in Sweden till
October 1927 when the British Government granted amnesty to all political
refugees and with that Har Dayal was able to return to England. In 1928
twenty years after he had bidden goodbye to the University of Oxford, he decided
to do his doctorate on the BodJnsatine Doctrine in Buddhist Sanskrit Liteia-
ture. In October 1931 he submitted his thesis and was awarded the degree.
Next year, his thesis was published in London. From now onward he followed
only literary pursuits.
Har Dayal stayed in England for about 10 years. In September 1938 he
left for U.S.A. to deliver lectures at various universities over there. It was at
Uppsala in Philadelphia that he breathed his last on 4th March 1939.
He was a prodigy of his times. He had a phenomenal and photographic
memory which endeared him to students everywhere. He was a polyglot know-
ing fourteen languages. In Sweden he studied music,
musir painting and sculp

Denmark and U.S.A. He was

a scholar, a saint, a revolutionary, a freedom-lover, a patriot, a helper of the


oppressed, and a well-wisher of mankind—a many-splendoured personality.

HARI KISHAN
He was born in 1912 at a small village called Ghalladher in the Mardan
District of North-Western Frontier Province. His father, Gurdas Mal> was a
great patriot and took deep interest in the freedom struggle. Himself an excel-
lent marksman, he took special pains to train his sons, particularly Hari Kishan,
in this art. When eighteen years old^ Hari Kishan came to Lahore in the com-
pany of his cousin^ Ghaman Lai Kapur who had secret connections with the
revolutionaries of the Punjab. This was the time when Bhagat Singh and his
comrades had been sentenced to death and were shortly to be executed. Hari
Kishan was introduced to Durga Das Khanna Ranbir of Milap and Virender
of Partap. A plot was soon hatched to shoot down the Punjab Governor, Geof-
frey de Montmorency on 22 December 1930, when he would be presiding
over the Convocation of the Panjab University, Lahore. Hari Kishan, for his
proficiency in pistol shooting, was selected for the task in preference to a few
other names. He entered the Convocation Hall on a borrowed entry pass and
carried his pistol hidden in the cavity of a book, undetected by police guards.
As Dr. Radha Krishnan was sitting by the side of the Governor, Hari Kishan
delayed his work and started firing only when after the function the Governor
was moving out. He wounded his arm but failed to kill him as the chair on •
which he stood disturbed the steadiness of his hand. One Sub-Inspector of
Police, Chanan Singh, was killed on the spot. Another Sub-Inspector of Police^
Wadhawa Ram and one English lady were wounded. Hari Kishan refused to
escape and was arrested immediately and imprisoned in the Central Jail, Lahore.
As a prisoner, he expressed a wish to meet Bhagat Singh. When it was refused^
he went on hunger strike, so that the wish had to be granted and Bhagat Singh
was brought to his room for a few minutes. A little later, he was shifted to
the Lahore Fort where he was subjected to ali kinds of tortures. He was sen-
tenced to death on 26 January 1931. The sentence being confirmed by the
Punjab High Court, he was executed on 9 June 1931 in the Mianwali Jail.
Hari Kishan's father Gurdas Mai, was extremely sorry that his son had
missed the mark and failed to kill the Governor. He was constantly harasised
by the police after Hari Kishan had been arrested. 52 different cases were
filed against him. He survived his son only by 25 days. His age at that time
was 48 years.
Durga Das Khanna, Ranbir and Chaman Lai Kapur were also arrested in
connection with the same shooting case. But nothing could be proved against
them and they were all released by the High Court.
One of Hari Kishan's brothers was Jamna Das who later helped Subhash
Chander Bose to slip away through the Khyber Pass in the guise of a Pathan.

mination he joined the Naujawan Bharat Sabha in 1930. He took part in


the freedom struggle in 1930-32, on account of which he was arrested and
imprisoned for four years. In 1935 he joined the Communist Party of India
and in 1936 helped lay the foundation of the Kisan Sabha in the Punjab.
In 1938 he was elected Secretary of this Sabha. One year earlier he had be-
come Editor of Dukhi Duniya, Jullundur. A year after he brought out
Chingari from Saharanpur. His activities were held objectionable and he
was arrested and detained in 1940 but in 1944 he was released. In 1951 he
was elected Secretary of the State Committee of the Communist Party of
India. In 1953 and 1967 he was elected to the Politburo of the C.P.I. Since
1967 he has been on the Politburo of the C.P.M. (Communist Party of India,
Marxist). In 1969 he held the office of the Vice-President of the All India
Kisan Sabha and was Editor of the paper Lok Lahar. He is author of a book
called Future of Kashmir.

HARIK1SHAN LAL (LALA)

He was bora on April 13, 1864 at Leiah in the district of Dera Ghazi
Khan now in Pakistan. He graduated with Honours in Mathematics in 1887
and then went for higher studies on a state scholarship to the Trinity Col-
lege, Cambridge (England). After completing his studies there with Honours
he returned to India in 1890. For a time he worked as a teacher of Mathe-
matics in the Government College, Lahore and as a teacher of Persian in the Ori-
ental College, Lahore.
He began to take part in national politics soon after his return from
*

abroad. He attended the 8th annual session of the All India Congress in 1892.
In 1896 he turned to business and floated the Bharat Insurance Company.
One of the clauses in the constitution of this Company was that none of its
could be promote
and organize a number of new companies, such as Punjab Cotton Press
Company, People's Bank of India, Amritsar Bank and Cawnpore
Flour Mills. When the Punjab National Bank was established, he became its
Honorary Secretary. In all such ventures, his outlook was patriotic and his
object was to help build up the national economy of the country on the basis
of the principle of Swadeshi.

INTRODUCTION LXXXI

He died on February 13, 1937.

HUKAM SINGH

He was born on 30th August 1895 at Montgomery. His father's name


was Sardar Sham Singh. After finishing his studies at Montgomery he shifted
to Khalsa College, Amritsar for higher education. Later he joined the Law
Coillege^ Lahore wherefrom he got his degree of LL.B. in 1921. He became
one of the leading lawyers of Montgomery and was elected President of the
Montgomery Bar Association in 1943.
Hukam Singh entered into public life at the time of the Akali movement
for gurdwara reforms (1921-25). For taking active part in the agitation, he
was arrested and imprisoned for two years. From the very beginning he was
interested in all questions affecting the interests of the Sikh community. He
was member of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee from 1926 to
1941 and thus had a voice in running the religious places of the community.

Simultaneously he was member of the Shiromani Akali Dal. He was a strict


opponent of the Muslim League's demand for Pakistan and along with other
Sikh leaders put his whole heart into the struggle against it.
His high reputation as a lawyer got him the appointment as a Judge in
the Kapurthala High Court in 1947 but this was only till the end of 1948 when
this High Court was abolished due to the integration of all the Punjab States
into a single new State called the Pepsu.
A new turn in his public life appeared when he was elected member of
the Constituent Assembly of India as a representative of the Shiromani Akali
Dal. Here he fought hard to safeguard the rights and interests of minorities
in general and his own community in particular. Dissatisfied with the consti-
tution finally adopted, he refused to become a signatory to it.
He was elected President of the Shiromani Akali Dal in 1950 and was
returned to the Parliament on Akali ticket. As member of the Parliament he
proved himself a brilliant debater and a convincing speaker. It was on account
of these qualities that he was included in the panel of presiding) officers,
even though he did not belong to the ruling Congress party. In 1956 he was
elected Deputy Speaker and in 1962 Speaker of the Lok Sabha. In all these
capacities he acquitted himself creditably and to the admiration of all. For
the last five years (since April 16, 1967) he has been occupying the guber-
natorial office in the State of Rajasthan.
Hukam Singh played a leading role in the formation of the Punjabi-Speak-
ing State out of the erstwhile State of East Punjab or Punjab. His contribu-
tions in the fields of journalism and education are no meagre. The well-known
English weekly, The Spokesman, owes its origin to him. Among his publica-
tions are Sikh Case, Pioblems of the Sikhs, Russia As I Saw It, and Russia Today.
He was Member, Estimate Committee of the Lok Sabha during 1952-1967;
Chairman, Conference of Presiding Officers of Legislative Bodies in India; Pre-
sident^ Indian Parliamentary Group; Member, Commonwealth Parliament Con-
ference, Delhi (1957), Australia (1959;, London (1961); Leader, Parliament

he proceeded to England and graduated from the Balliol College, Lon-
don. In early thirties he again went abroad and visited almost all European
.countries and U . S . A . On his return to India, he joined the Indian National
Congress and soon became a leading spokesman of Congress politics in the
Punjab Province. He became President of the Provincial Congress Committee
in 1940 and was elected Secretary of the Congress Legislative Party during
his tenure of membership of the Punjab Legislative Assembly. He was impri-
soned for two years on account of his active participation in the Quit India move-
ment of 1942.
As a member of the Indian National Congress^ he stood for national unity,
communal harmony, and casteless society. He favoured .constitutional and non-
violent methods for achieving independence. He was an uncompromising na-
tionalist, a severe critic of British imperialism, and a staunch opponent of the
ruling Unionist Party. He advocated that landholdings below fifteen acres
should be exempted from land revenue and that the incidence of the water-
tax? Abiana, should be shifted to landed aristocracy. He was also a strong pro-
tagonist of education. Besides compulsory education up to the primary stan-
dard, he emphasized the need to re-orient education to the important re-
quirements of the Indian society.
But his nationalism was not deep enough. In 1946 he left the Congress t>
and joined the Muslim League and thereby became a separatist. In 1947 when
communal riots broke out in the Punjab, a Peace Committee was set up. He
served on that Committee but no practical good came out of it. Among other
members of the Committee were Master Tara Singh Swaran Singh, Gopi
Chand Bhargava and Bhim Sen Sachar.
After Independence^ he functioned as Minister of Rehabilitation in the
Muslim Lea
party. Thereafter

He died in 1962.

the Khalsa High School, Ambala. After passing his Matriculation examination
he went to the Sikh Missionary College, Amritsar.
Even as a young student Ishar Singh was deeply interested in politics.
The urge proved so strong as to pull him off his studies and the year 1923 saw
him squarely poised in the political arena of the Punjab. Then followed a
career of hectic political activity. He got himself enlisted in the Indian Na-
tional Congress in 1923 and was imprisoned for five months for his political
activities. Some time after, he was again arrested and imprisoned for a period
of two years for his participating in the Nabha agitation (Jaito Morcha).
Again in 1929 he was interned for a year. Further internments came in 1938,
1939 and 1942. In 1942 he was detained for two years for taking part in the
Quit India movement.
In 1946 he was elected to the Punjab Legislative Assembly. After Parti-
tion in 1947 he was appointed Minister of Relief and Rehabilitation. In
1948 his portfolio was changed and he was given the Ministry of Civil Sup-
plies, Industries, Forests and Agriculture. He maintained his position as Mi-
nister till 1950 when the Bhargava Cabinet resigned in deference to the wishes
of the Congress High Command.
Ishar Singh, before his retirement from active politics, was one of the
most eminent figures in Sikh politics. He was General Secretary of the Recep
tion Committee of the Sham Singh Akali Congress held in 1938 at Attari. He
held at different times prominent positions in the Shiromani Akali Dal and
Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee ( S . G . P . C . ) . He was elected
General Secretary of the Shiromani Akali Dal in 1945. In Akali politics^ Ishar
Singh Majhail, Udham Singh Nagoke, Darshan Singh Pheruman and some
others represented the left wing and were closer to the Indian National Cong-
ress than the other Akali leaders^ such as Master Tara Singh and Giani Kartar
Singh.
He was President of the Durbar Sahib (Golden Temple) Committee,
Amritsar from 1939 to 1949. Before that he occupied the office of the Vice-
President of the same body for some years.
