Khushi Ram, son of Milki Ram, Brahmin, Village Rurkee, P. S. Jandiala, District Jullundur. He studied up to the 8th Standard in the Bundala School, Punjab. Left for New Zealand somewhere about 1915, along with two Sikh companions (one of whom was Phuman Singh who subsequently returned to India). While in New Zealand he worked as a contractor and cloth-dealer. He came to notice in 1924 when he sent a letter to Phuman Singh son of Hamam Singh, ofRurka, district Jullundur, in which he said that there was a fear of a war between Russia and England and in a postscript added that a copy ofthe "Ghadr" was being enclosed, which fact he desired should be kept secret. In 1921 was sentenced to 3 months' imprisonment for theft. Nothing was heard about him until July 1929 when he wrote from Makrikiri, New Zealand, to the "Kirti" of Amritsar, praying for the success of the movement and at the end adding that he was ever prepared to serve them. He was then employed by Messrs. Campion Bros., at Okirae, Fordell (near Wanganui). At about that time he was reported to have sent money to the Kirti and the Ghadr Party at San Francisco, from whom he had received papers (appparently Ghadr literature). On 16th May 1930 he wrote to the "Kirti" acknowledging receipt of certain Kirti journals sent from India, and informing the addressee of their distribution among the people in New Zealand and promising at the same time financial support. On 9th September 1930 he again wrote to the Kirti Agency indenting for certain national books. On 30th August 1931, he wrote to the Manager of the "Mazdoor Kisan" to the effect that he was propagating the cause of the . paper there and promising monetary aid. In 1931 he was reported to be the Secretary ofthe branch ofthe Hindustan Ghadr Party in New Zealand. Sent a packet of Ghadr literature to Fiji in August 1931. Used by the Ghadr Party as a channel of correspondence and propaganda. On 8th November 1931 he received a letter from Nidhan Singh (N-39), President of the Ghadr Party, regarding the "Prescription for phthisis", which apparently referred to a formula for the manufacture of bombs. He was the writer of a letter dated 22nd August (1932 ?), to Shiv Singh (S-49) of Fiji, in which he intimated the danger of keeping records of enrolment, boasted of exterminating the English and regretted that no letter had been received from the Doctor (meaning Teja Singh Sutantar, T-8). He also gloated over political unrest in Bengal and the murder of policemen. In February 1933 he was reported to have been employed by Melville Bros. at Fordell, near Wanganui, New Zealand, and to have been under police surveillance off and on for the past 3 years. A good deal of Ghadr Party literature was seized in his camp.
