entered the University of California in 1921. He was a member of the
Ghadr Party and was reported to have addressed a Ghadr meeting held at
Stockton on 15th January 1921. He attended another meeting held in
memory of the Sikhs who lost their lives at Nankana Sahib, at the
Stockton Sikh Temple on the 9th of July 1921 and at another meeting held
in the same place on the 15th of November 1922, he exhorted the Sikhs to
fight the tyrant. In April 1922 he participated with Gopal Singh (G-25) in
endeavoring to organize a separate section of the Ghadr Party to be
composed principally of members of the Indian student body of Berkeley.
About the middle of 1923 he was in the Ashram working with Puran
Singh of Jandiala (P-37) and Indar Singh of Tuto Majra (1-5), and in
conjunction with them published a pamphlet called "Echoes of Freedom" which he broadcasted through the post. In 1923 he graduated from the
School of Pharmacy, and obtained his medical degree from the University
of Kansas in 1928. At a meeting held in Stockton Temple on 13th April
1930 to discuss the question of the establishment of the Indian colony in
Mexico, he promised medical help to the Ghadr Party at any time
required. He sailed for India in July 1930 to take up the Directorship of
the Indo-American Medical Institute, Amritsar, which he is said to have

India on the 25th of September 1930. Was said to have been entrusted with
Rs. 30,000 by the Ghadr Party for propaganda among the Kirti workers in

Singh, M. A., (P-16). He applied for the renewal of his passport in
September 1931, but the request was refused and his passport was
cancelled. Associates with Partap Singh, M. A., (P-16), Darbara Singh
