DALIP SINGH, Babar revolutionary, belonged to the village of Gosal, in Jalandhar district. His father`s name was Ishar Singh. Dalip Singh passed his matriculation examination and became a teacher in a primary school in Jalandhar. During his spare time, he toured the surrounding villages making patriotic speeches. He was drawn into the Akali agitation for Gurdwara reform, but he was too radical by temperament for its nonviolent strategy. He joined the secret Chakravarti group of Karam Singh, of Daulatpur, and soon began to be counted among the leader`s close associates. In March 1922. warrants for his arrest were issued for delivering speeches recommending to the people the creed of "reforming," i.e. liquidating the jholichuks or loyalists of the British.
