His father's name was &#298shar Si&#7749gh. Dal&#299p Si&#7749gh passed his matriculation examination and became a teacher in a primary school in Jalandhar. During his spare time, he toured the surrounding villages making patriotic speeches. He was drawn into the Ak&#257l&#299 agitation for Gurdw&#257r&#257 reform, but he was too radical by temperament for its non-violent strategy. He joined the secret Chakravart&#299 group of Karam Si&#7749gh, of Daulatpur, and soon began to be counted among the leader's close associates. In March 1922, warrants for his arrest were issued for delivering speeches recommending to the people the creed of "reforming, " i. e. liquidating the <i>jhol&#299chuks</i> or loyalists of the British. In October 1922, he was elected secretary of the newly-formed Babar Ak&#257l&#299 Jath&#257. He helped in the production of its secret literature, including the newssheet <i>Babar Ak&#257l&#299 Do&#257b&#257</i>.</p> <p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dal&#299p Si&#7749gh was arrested on 6 January 1923. During the course of his trial, he neither replied to any of the questions asked him nor signed his statement. For his seditious speeches he was sentenced, on 14 March 1923, to five years in jail. When the Babar Ak&#257l&#299 conspiracy case trial began on 15 August 1923, he was tried afresh as one of the leaders of the movement and sentenced to transportation for life.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Babbar, Sundar Si&#7749gh, <i>Itih&#257s Babbar Ak&#257l&#299 Lahir</i>.
