## Caption

66 Namdhari Sikhs, clad in white were waiting anxiously to sacrifice their lives for the sake of their beloved motherland, without caring little for oppression and tyranny of the British regime at Maler- Kotla, Punjab. A lad of twelve, son of Sardar Mahan Singh and Sardarni Khem Kaur from the village Rarh, Punjab, was the youngest of all the patriots. The heart of the wife of Mr. Cowan, the then Deputy Commissioner of Ludhiana, Punjab melted out of sympathy on seeing the blooming and innocent face of Bishan Singh.

She requested her husband to let the child go. Mr. Cowan acceded to his wife’s request, provided he was prepared to say that he was not the disciple of (Satguru) Ram Singh. Bishan Singh listened to him attentively and expressed his desire to whisper in the ears of Mr. Cowan. As soon as Mr. Cowan kneeled to listen, Bishan Singh pounced upon him with a single leap and caught hold of his long, flowing beard so tightly that Mr. Cowan began to shriek and cried for help. The soldiers around Mr. Cowan, ran to his rescue, but their efforts proved futile. The soldiers beheaded Bishan Singh with their swords and cut his tiny hands to pieces.

The hair of Mr. Cowan’s beard were still seen entangled in the tender fingers of Bishan Singh who became an immortal martyr.

At a time when many Sikhs alligned themselves with the British Raj to enjoy the comforts provided by the army, the Namdhari did not.
