Maya Singh, son of Bhulla Singh, Mehton Rajput, of Paldi, P. S. Mahilpur, District Hoshiarpur. He went to America in 1906, and worked in one lumber mill near Vancouver, and was said to be a man of influence. He wrote a somewhat seditious letter to Bhola Singh and Labh Singh, residents of Paldi. In 1918 he started the Mayo Lumber Co. near Duncan on Vancouver Island and became a successful millowner giving employment to a considerable number of Indians. From 1925-27 he was in India, and was reported to be trying to get some more persons of his caste into Canada. He attended a secret meeting held on 1st July 1928 at Mayo Lumber Co., Vancouver Island, at which Lachman Singh of Khurdpur (L-6) delivered a message from the Ghadr Party to the effect that the Ghadr Party wished the Canadian Sikhs to depute three men, one ofwhom was to be Piara Singh of Langeri (P-25), to California to consult the members of the Party regarding the future programme of work to be undertaken in India. In 1928 he and his brothers started another lumber mill—the Kapur—at Sooke Lake. He was one of the largest subscribers to the fund raised by Kartar Singh of Toronto (K-30) in 1929 for the revival of political agitation in Canada. He was present at a meeting of the Hindustan Y. M. A. held at Duncan, B. C. in June 1929 at which resolutions were passed praising Bhagat Singh's (murderer of a Police Officer in India) exploits, and deciding to send money to India to encourage bomb-making. In 1930 the Mayo Lumber Co. had to close down owing to lack of business. He was one ofthe speakers at a meeting held in Victoria in June 1931 to commemorate the death of the Babbar Akalis. He is still in Canada, operating his mill at Sooke Lake.
