<p class="C1">&#65279&#298SHAR SI&#7748GH GRANTH&#298, BH&#256&#298 (1881-1921), one of the Nank&#257&#7751&#257 S&#257hib martyrs, was born at Baho&#7771&#363 village in Amritsar district in 1881, the son of Bh&#257&#299 Atar Si&#7749gh and M&#257&#299 Nih&#257l Kaur. His schooling was interrupted owing to his father's death. But the desire to learn was so strong in him that at the age of 26, he joined the <u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257 Prach&#257rak Vidy&#257l&#257, Tarn T&#257ran, and spent four years there studying Sikh history and philosophy, besides practising <i>k&#299rtan</i>. In 1915 he joined the <u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257 school at Jhab&#257l in Amritsar district as a Punjabi teacher. &#298shar Si&#7749gh returned to his native place to become the custodian of the village <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i>. When Bh&#257&#299 Lachhma&#7751 Si&#7749gh gave the call for the liberation of Gurdw&#257r&#257 Janam Asth&#257n at Nank&#257&#7751&#257 S&#257hib, he joined his <i>jath&#257</i> and fell a martyr in the shower of bullets rained upon it by the local keeper of the shrine and his men on the morning of 20 February 1921.</p>
