from the stranglehold of government-backed Mahants gallantly braved
ordeals and sacrificed their lives. Their heroism confirmed the dictum *

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.
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

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 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.

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

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
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

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
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,

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.

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
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.

Swarajists was to secure legitimate demands of the country accepted

Assailed both by the liberals and the Gandhites, the Swarajists during
their tenure in councils tried to come up to the latter's estimation. In
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.

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-

Akali Movement:
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
-
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.
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.
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 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

INTRODUCTION XXXVII
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.

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

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
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

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.

programme of Gandhiji and spent much of her time for the uplift of women
and eradication of social evils, such as early marriage, purda system and
illiteracy among womenfolk. She was a co-founder of the All India Women
Conference (1927) and was elected its Secretary in 1930. From 1931 to 1933
and again in 1938 she was Chairman of the Conference.
In 1932 she gave evidence before Lord Lothian's Franchise Committee, and
in 1933 as member of the delegation of women's organisation, she testified
before the Joint Select Committee of British Parliament on Indian constitu-
tional reforms.
She was the first woman to be appointed member of the Advisory Board
of Education of the Government of India. She became member of the Hin-
dustani Talimi Sangh and went to London in 1945 as a member of the
Indian delegation to UNESCO. The following year, she was chosen Deputy

the All India Spinners Association. There were numerous other societies
with which she had close connection.
In the first Indian Government formed after freedom in 1947 she was
selected as Health Minister and for ten years, 1947-1957, she continued to
be member of the Lok Sabha and Health Minister. During her tenure of office
she concentrated her energies on improvement of general sanitary conditions
in the country and greatly increased the number of welfare centres, hospitals
and medical colleges. After 1957 she was elected member of the Raj Sabha for
several years. She died on 6th February 1964.
ANUP SINGH
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.

BALDEV SINGH
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 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.

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

culation examination in the first division,. Besides studies, he distinguished
himself in sports.
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

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-

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
He was born on 10th February 1916 and received his college education
from Khalsa College, Amritsar. He joined the Indian National Congress in
1937. He took part in the Quit India movement of 1942 and was arrested
and imprisoned for seven years. However, in 1945 he was released. Then
on another ground he was arrested and imprisoned for two months. In
1946 he was elected Ceneral Secretary of the Jullundur District Congress Com-
mittee and from 1949 to 1951 was its President. From 1958 to 1960 he was
elected General Secretary of the Punjab Provincial Congrss Committee and
its President from 1961 to 1964. Since 1958 he has been member of the All
India Congress Committee. For several yeans from 1956 to 1967 he was a
member of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha and a minister in the State Cabinet.
Since 1971 he has been member of the Lok Sabha as well as member of
the Executive of the Congress Parliamentary Party. At present he is one of
the topmost Congress leaders of the Punjab.
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
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 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.

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

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.

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.

INTRODUCTION LXXVII
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,

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.
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.

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.
