Of medium height and stoutly build, he excelled in rural sports such as weightlifting and wrestling. He however gave up the latter sport after imbibing the <u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257 <i>p&#257hul</i> to keep his vows inviolate. His presence at the reformists' <i>d&#299v&#257n</i> held at Dh&#257rov&#257l&#299 on 1-3 October 1920 proved a turning point in his life and he plunged himself into the Gurdw&#257r&#257 Reform movement with all his energy. He participated in the liberation of Gurdw&#257r&#257 Khar&#257 Saud&#257. As the call came from Nank&#257&#7751&#257 S&#257hib, young Harn&#257m Si&#7749gh did not tarry a single day and forthwith joined the <i>jath&#257</i> of Bh&#257&#299 Lachhma&#7751 Si&#7749gh of Dh&#257rov&#257l&#299. He consoled his distraught mother with the words that she had two other sons in the family. The <i>jath&#257</i> was massacred to a man by the killers on 20 February 1921.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1">Shamsher, Gurba<u>kh</u>sh Si&#7749gh, <i>Shah&#299d&#299 J&#299van</i>.
