Wikipedia Page of the Day: Ram Singh Kuka

Ram Singh Kuka

Satguru Ram Singh Ji (Kuka) (3 February 1816 – 18 January 1872) was the twelfth guru in the Namdhari Sikh lineage. He is credited as being the first Indian to use non-cooperation and boycott of British goods and services as a political tool. In 2016, the Government of India officially decided to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Ram Singh. He also used the revolt of 1857 to his advantage and created the Kuka khalsa and heightened their pride by calling others mleecha.
