He was the owner of a store at Pender Alley, Vancouver, and a close friend of Bhagwan Singh Granthi, of village Viring, district Amritsar, a prominent seditionist and an active sender of the "Ghadr" newspaper. At a meeting held in the Sikh Temple, Vancouver, on the 10th January 1914, he spoke against Babu Singh for helping the authorities. Subsequently he committed forgery in a case involving Babu Singh and was sentenced to five years' imprisonment. He was released in March 1916, and deported, but instead of returning to India he disembarked at Japan where he mixed with Indian revolutionaries. In June 1917 a permit to travel to Mexico was granted to him. From Maxico he is believed to have surreptitiously entered the U.S.A, in 1913. He was expected to sail for India from San Francisco via Hong Kong by the s.s. "President Wilson" on the 31st January 1923, and although his fellow passengers duly landed at Calcutta on the 19th March 1923, Chhaju Ram could not be traced at Calcutta. He was however reported to have reached his village in the guise of a faqir about the 18th of April 1923. In 1930 he took an active part in taking out political processions, and was elected President of the Bilga Congress Committee. He was eventually sent to jail for one year under Secion 107 Criminal Procedure Code in default of furnishing security, but was released early in 1931 in accordance with the Gandhi-Irwin Pact.
