Was born in a potter's family of Lahuke in Amritsar district. He
along with his parents, Bhai Jhanda Singh and Mai Bhago, migrated
to Chakk No. 75 Lahuke in Lyallpur district when that area was colonized
during the 1890's. He knew Urdu and Punjabi; he also learnt some
Mahajani (a script used traditionally by commercial classes) and
became a postman. Later, he set up himself as a commission agent.
In company with his friend Bhai Narain Singh, a pious Sikh, he had
himself registered as a volunteer in the Gurdwara Reform movement.
A week before the Nankana happening, he donated his house to the
village gurdwara and joined the jatha of Bhai Ishar Singh Dharovali.
All in the jatha were killed as they were trying to enter Gurdwara
Janam Asthan the following morning on 20 February 1921.
