He had served in the army for about five years during which time he had been admitted to the rites of the <u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257. He had also learnt to read and write enough Punjabi to become a fluent reader of the Scripture. He had become an Ak&#257l&#299 activist and joined the first <i>shah&#299d&#299 jath&#257</i> or martyrs' column ready to die to have the sacrilege at Jaito indemnified. The <i>jath&#257</i> was fired upon by police as it reached near the Gurdw&#257r&#257 on 21 February 1924. Bh&#257&#299 Jaw&#257har Si&#7749gh was one of those who died in the firing.</p> </ol><p class="CONT">Gurcharan Si&#7749gh Gi&#257n&#299<br></p><BR> </font><img src="counter.aspx" width="1px" height="1px" alt=""></HTML></BODY>
