Was born on 10 June 1902, the son of Bhai Jagat Singh and Mai Dial
Kaur of Chakk 64 Bandala Nihaloana in Lyallpur (now Faisalabad) district
of Pakistan. He learnt Gurmukhi at the village gurdwara and was able
fluently to recite passages from the Guru Granth Sahib and stories
of the Sikh martyrs. Ujagar Singh grew up into a handsome youth, strong
of limb and fair-complexioned. Losing his three wedded wives successively,
he lost interest in worldly affairs and turned to religious pursuit
instead. He participated in the liberation of Sri Darbar Sahib, Tam
Taran, and in that of Gurdwara Bhai Joga Singh at Peshawar. Finally,
he fell a martyr in the firing upon the pilgrims to Gurdwara janam
Asthan, Nankana Sahib, who were showered with bullets by the opponents
of reform as they entered the premises to offer their prayers on the
morning of 20 Feburary 1921. |
