<p class="C1">&#65279NAND SI&#7748GH, of R&#257i k&#257 Burj, a village in Amritsar district, was a soldier in the 23rd Cavalry, with headquarters at M&#299&#257&#7749m&#299r cantonment, Lahore. He was one of the <i>sow&#257rs</i> who came in contact with the <u>Gh</u>adr leaders and who raised their hands in meetings to indicate that they would take part in the uprising against the British. According  to the plan, the <i>sow&#257rs</i> were to bring arms to a meeting of the <u>Gh</u>adr leaders at Jh&#257&#7771 S&#257hib on 6 November 1914.</p>
<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;	On 19 February 1915, word was received that a part of the regiment was to be sent to the war front and the depot moved to a new cantonment. On 13 May 1915, as the baggage was being loaded, a box fell and a bomb exploded. The explosion gave the officials the clue to the plan of the <i>sow&#257rs</i> to join the <u>Gh</u>adr revolution. This led to the detention of eighteen men, all belonging to the troops of Dafed&#257r Lachhma&#7751 Si&#7749gh, of Amritsar, and Dafed&#257r Vadh&#257v&#257 Si&#7749gh, of R&#363&#7771&#299v&#257l&#257. They were court-martialled at Dagshai, in Shiml&#257 hills, and ordered to be shot. Later, the sentences of six, Nand Si&#7749gh among them, were commuted to transportation for life, with forfeiture of property. The other five were Bishan Si&#7749gh, Bishan Si&#7749gh No. 2, Natth&#257 Si&#7749gh and Kehar Si&#7749gh, all of &#7693hot&#299a&#7749 (Amritsar) and Charan Si&#7749gh, of &#7692ha&#7751&#7693 Kasel (Amritsar). They were sent to the Cellular Jail at Port Blair, Andamans, to serve their sentences. Nand Si&#7749gh died there as a result of the torture which was commonly the lot of the prisoners. He was 26 when he was sent to prison.</p>
