Kharak Singh

Village: Daska Kalan

City: Sialkot

K-52. Kharak Singh, son of Hazur Singh, Brahmin, of Daska Kalan, P. S. Daska, District Sialkot. A disloyal Granthi in Hankow who used to read out the "Ghadr". Returned to India in November 1914 from Hankow. Is said to be well educated and to speak English fluently. There was good reason to believe that while Kharak Singh was Granthi, the Sikh Temple in Hankow was used as a centre for the receipt and dissemination of Ghadr Literature. He took part in all this, though at the same time he feigned loyalty to the authorities. He was further said, in his capacity as interpreter, to have completely distorted various lectures on the war that were delivered by a Hankow gentleman to the Sikhs at the local Gurdwara and believed to have taken with him a quantity ofrevolutionary literature when he left Hankow. He was reported however to be of a suspicious character and a constant reader of the "Ghadr" paper. He has been politically inactive for the past five or six years and in 1932 was Granthi ofthe Daska Gurdwara.
