He came to India in 1911 and after staying here for a year went back to the U.S.A. He assisted in building a school in the Doaba for imparting political education by collecting money for it in the United States, and contributed liberally to all revolutionary collections. He was a keen supporter of the Akalis and the Ghadr Party. He also assisted in forming the Canadian American Press Society of the Doaba in the U.S.A., of which he became Secretary in June 1922. He was at one time cultivating a farm in partnership with Pritam Singh of village Khel, and Chuhar Singh of village Paldi (C-26). He became a life member of the Ghadr Party and remained its President for a few years. In 1923 he was the Secretary of the Sikh Amritsar Educational Society. In that year he was in Walnut Grove, California, and wrote to Piara Singh of Langeri (P-25), describing the procedure to be adopted in smuggling Indians into Mexico. In the same year he was evincing much interest in the subscriptions which were being raised for the Doaba Akalis. In 1927 he was the Educational Secretary of the Ghadr Party in Canada, and was collecting subscriptions for a Mahavidyalaya school to be opened in the Doaba. In March 1927 he was reported to have sent a resolution to the 'Desh Sewak' of Jullundur to the effect that the Guru Panth might ask all the Government employees to help the Chinese Nationalists against British domination. In July 1927 he was reported to be the President of the Ghadr Party, and to be collecting funds in California for Ghadr work in China. About that time he was reported to be a regular quarterly subscriber to the Ghadr Party on behalf of the Kirti. In January 1928 he was in correspondence with Gurmukh Singh (G-54) in Kabul.

About this time he took an active part in the organisation of the American Hindustani Trading Company, and which was founded mainly for the purpose of smuggling aliens into the United States. One of the methods for securing entry of the East Indians was to take them in the guise of students and after a few months place them on the ranches. In February 1931 he became President of the Company. He paid a secret visit to Vancouver about the middle of October 1931 with the object of discussing the Canadian Hindustani Congress and reiterate the Ghadr Party's disapproval of the name of the new organisation. He urged that though the Ghadr Party were aware of Gandhi's sincerity no results could be obtained short of an actual-revolution. He extolled terrorism and stated that India had many friends in the League of Nations and Great Britain had secret enemies. He also boasted that preparations on an extensive scale were being made by the Ghadr Party in India and prophesied that both the Police and Army in India would rise against the Government. On his return to California about the end of October 1931 he interested himself in the affairs of the Canadian Hindustani Congress. He is known to have strong communistic leanings.
