HARNAM SINGH SAHRI

Bhai Harnam Singh (? – 14.8.1914), son of Bhai Labh Singh, was born at village Kahri-Sahri. In December 1907, he migrated to Canada. He was one of the organisers of the Ghadr Party. He was so dreaded by the Canadian and the American governments that he was ordered to leave the land by both the governments. In 1914, he left for Punjab via Siam (now Thailand) and Burma. He was arrested and sent to Mandla jail. He was tried by Special Court, on charges of sedition and was hanged on August 14, 1914.
