Thakur Singh, alias T. S. Singha, son of Hamam Singh, of Kala Sanghian, Kapurthala State. Worked at Nanking, China. Was a friend of Mula Singh (M-52). Was formerly a clerk in the office of the "China Press" at Shanghai and returned to India in 1911. Went back again to Shanghai in 1913 and was the head of the Ghadr Party in China. Left Shanghai in July 1915, possibly for Manila in company with Bhai Balwant Singh Granthi of village Khurdpur, district Jullundur (hanged in the Second Supplementary Lahore Case) and Sahib Dyal, a watchman in the Chinese Customs, en route to India with the object of disseminating sedition among Indians in Siam. They appeared in Siam soon after, and were arrested at Bangkok with a number of other revolutionaries by the Siamese authorities in August 1916 and were deported to Singapore. Thakur Singh was sent to India and interned in 1916. He was sent for trial in the Second Supplementary Case, but was acquitted by the Tribunal on the 5th of January 1917 for want of sufficient evidence and re-interned. Made a statement to the Punjab C. I. D., in which he admitted that he subscribed and read the "Ghadr" newspaper regularly since 1913 while he was at Nanking. Also admitted his connections with Mula Singh, approver in the Lahore Conspiracy Cases and Santokh Singh of village Dodher, district Amritsar (a dangerous revolutionary—since dead). Released in January 1918 and restricted to his village by the Kapurthala Durbar, but despite this he continued to adhere to his revolutionary tendencies by stirring up agitation whenever an opportunity arose. In March 1920, he made an objectionable speech at the conference held at Jullundur and was placed on security by the State authorities. In December 1921, he attended the Congress session at Ahmedabad. In 1922 he instigated the people to protest against the proposed increase in revenue in Kapurthala State. Is an extremely intelligent and clever man and has been-a zealous Akali throughout. In 1931 he started the "Riyasati Parja Mandal" (State’s Peoples' Conference) of which he himself became the President. He instigated the zamindars to agitate for some remission in the land revenue in which connection his house was searched but nothing incriminating was found. He tried to enlist volunteers for attending the Congress Session at Delhi in 1932, which was declared unlawful, and succeeded in taking to Lahore a Jatha of 10 men. Four of them including his brother Hazara Singh tried to demolish the Lawrence Statue and were consequently arrested and convicted while the others participated in picketing, etc., in connection with the Civil Disobedience Movement. Thakur Singh is an extremist and always ready to take a leading part in all sorts of political movements. He is a friend and chief associate of Master Kishan Singh, B. A., of Kapurthala, who holds similar views. He was appointed Secretary ofthe newly constituted "Sikh Council of Action" in 1932. A dangerous revolutionary but it was difficult to prove that he had taken part in the schemes in British territory.
