Farming was the occupation of the family which lived in the village of K&#257lek&#299, 5 km east of B&#257gh&#257 Pur&#257&#7751&#257 in Mog&#257 <i>tahs&#299l</i> (subdivision) of present-day Far&#299dko&#7789 district. Early in his life Hardit Si&#7749gh went abroad to Malaya where he served as a policeman in Kuala Lumpur military police for five years, after which he returned to live in his native village. He happened to be in the village of Ro&#7693e where a Jath&#257 of Ak&#257l&#299 volunteers was stopping overnight on its way to Jaito, then in the throes of a Sikh religious agitation. He felt so moved by the enthusiasm of the Ak&#257l&#299 volunteers that he decided to stay on and join the agitation. As the Jath&#257 reached the outskirts of Jaito on 21 February 1924, the state authority opened fire on it. Bh&#257&#299 Hardit Si&#7749gh was hit in the head and fell down.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1">Prat&#257p Si&#7749gh Gi&#257n&#299, <i>Gurdw&#257r&#257 Sudh&#257r arth&#257t Ak&#257l&#299 Lahir</i>.
