Some lines on contribution of Baba Ramsingh Kuka in the revolution of india

Baba Ramsingh Kuka was a soldier, religious leader and a major contributor to the Indian independence movement. Ram Singh Kuka was the founder of the 'Kuka Movement'. His policy of non-cooperation with the British was very popular among the people.

Ram Singh Kuka was born in the village of Bheni in the Ludhiana district of Punjab. He joined the Sikh army as a soldier. There he was very impressed by meeting Bhai Balak Singh. After the death of Bhai Balak Singh, Ram Singh Kuka took over the responsibilities of the missionary work. He fought against the caste system and encouraged people for inter-caste marriage and widow remarriage.

Ram Singh Kuka completely opposed the British rule and started an intense non-cooperation movement against them. Under his leadership, people also boycotted English education, clothes made in English mills and other imported goods from outside. The Kuka or Namdhari movement had gained momentum over time. The British wanted to extinguish every spark which was harmful to their power. The British fired cannon at many Namdhari Sikhs and killed them in pieces. Ram Singh Kuka was imprisoned and sent to Burma and after that he was sentenced to life imprisonment and sent to Andaman Jail. Baba Ram Singh had such a profound effect on his followers that even after his death his followers did not believe that he was actually dead. He thought that he would return to guide the people. The system of non-cooperation and civil disobedience was later adopted by Mahatma Gandhi after the death of Ram Singh.
