GURBAKHSH SINGH DILWALI


Bhai Gurbakhsh Rai, son of Bhai Bagha, a tailor, was a resident of Dilwali area of Delhi. When Ram Chand, son of Dhir Mall and his three companions were executed at Delhi, in 1677, he and his brother Bhai Nanu Ram (later Nanu Singh Dilwali) cremated their dead bodies and carried their ashes to Bakala. Bhai Gurbakhsh Rai got initiation from Guru Gobind Singh Sahib, on the first day of the initiation of Khalsa, at Anandpur Sahib and became Bhai Gurbakhsh Singh.
