Was said to be a correspondent of Munsha Singh of Jandiala (M-54). Used to sign his letters "George" but he is not known by that name in America. He presided at a Ghadr meeting at Sacramento in January 1919 and towards the middle of 1921-accompanied Bishan Singh Hindi (B-72), on a subscription tour for the 'Amritsar Memorial'. Presided at meeting of the Ghadr Party at Stockton and Marysville on the 24th of December 1922 and 19th August 1923 respectively. In 1923 he was reported to be the head of the Ghadr Party and Secretary in 1924. In 1924 sent copies of the "Ghadr" to his brother Lal Singh, who was sentenced to 2 years' R. I. He was the editor of the "Ghadr" for a number of years, and a great deal of his time was spent at the Ghadr Ashram. In March 1929 he wrote to Munsha Singh Dukhi (M-54) offering him financial assistance and in July wrote to the "Kirti", "Asli Qaumi Dard", "Akali-te-Pardesi", "Kirpan Bahadur" and other papers informing them that an Akhand Path was completed on 25th May 1929 in honor of the martyrdom of the Babbar Akalis, and that resolutions condemning the tyranny of the British Government and congratulating the Kirti leaders had also been passed. In 1929 he was a regular quarterly subscriber to the Ghadr Party on behalf of the Kirti fund, and in charge of the Ghadr Party headquarters in San Francisco. Early in 1930 he seems to have been in Detroit where he was in charge of the small Sikh Ghadr group. He must have returned to California shortly afterwards because later in the year he became the President of the Secret Board of the party; but about this time, he fell ill (being threatened with cancer) and has not taken an active part in Ghadr affairs since. He is said to be receiving treatment somewhere in the eastern part of the U. S. A. Nevertheless, he is one of the more important Ghadr Party leaders and is fairly well educated.
