Bishan Singh, alias Bishan Singh Hindi, alias D. D. Hindi, son of Hira Singh, of Sadda Singh Wala, P. S. Moga, District Ferozepore. He was educated at the Khalsa High School, Lahore. He came to notice in 1914 as the writer of a very seditious and pro-German letter from Canal Zone, Panama. He was for some time in charge of the illustration part of the "Ghadr" newspaper, for which he was drawing cartoons. He was the Treasurer of the Ghadr Party from 1915 to the beginning of 1917 when on Ramchandr's deposition he was elected to the Presidentship of the Ashram, and the editorship of the vernacular part of the "Ghadr" newspaper. He was convicted in the Indo-German Conspiracy Case, but showed no repentance. After his release from jail on the 15th December 1918, he wrote several objectionable letters to Bhagwan Singh, of Viring, district Amritsar (formlly a prominent leader of the Ghadr Party), and Santokh Singh, of Dodher, district Amritsar (since dead) in jail, rejoicing in the 'revolution in India, and talking of help from the Irish and American Labour party'. He was a believer in the attainment of liberty by violence. When Tarak Nath Das of Mojpara (one of the leading figures in the revolutionary party on the West Coast of America shortly before and after the Great War) went to Astoria in February 1920 during the course of his Pacific Coast visit, he was shown round by Bishan Singh Hindi. He was then elected to the Ghadr General Committee as the Oregon representative and given the post of editor. He attended the big Ghadr meeting held in Sacramento on the 14th March 1920. Subsequently he became prominent in the Ashram activities by issuing statements, etc., from the Ashram under his name and thanking the Federal Government for cancelling the deportation warrants against Bhagwan Singh, Gopal Singh (G-25) and Santokh Singh. He was largely responsible for the two vernacular publications "Martyr Day" and the "Present time or Era" issued from the Ashram in May 1920. In 1922 when the Ghadr Party were financially embarrassed he was active in the collection of funds for the resuscitation of the party, and issued numerous appeals for financial support to the Indians in Canada. He resigned from the Ghadr staff early in 1923 and returned to India some time afterwards. Again went to America in 1924 and came back to India after a stay of six months. He is reported to have gone abroad for the third time in 1928 with his brother Jaswant Singh and stayed in Cuba and Mexico where he was engaged in agriculture. He returned to India in September 1932, and has not come to notice adversely since his return. Owns landed property at his village.
