Bhai Gurbakhsh Singh (1902 – 20.2.1921), son of Bhai Chanda Singh, was born at village Sainabad (district Jullundur). From his early childhood, he had a deep interest in the study of religious literature. He was a regular reader of Akali newspaper. When he grew young he formed a missionary Jatha and preached the Sikh faith. After some time he moved to village Shahkot (district Sheikhupura). Here too, he spent a lot of time in missionary activities. When Bhai Lachhman Singh began enroling a Jatha for the freedom of Gurdwara Nanakana Sahib, he offered himself as a volunteer. On February 19, 1921, he joined the Jatha of Bhai Santa Singh and went to Nanakana Sahib. The following day, the Jatha reached Gurdwara Janam Asthan. He, along with Bhai Ichchhar Singh and Bawa Sunder Das, went to the Gurdwara in advance and then gave a signal to the Jatha that the gates were open. At this all the Jatha went inside the Gurdwara, where Mahant Narain Das and his hired men killed all the Sikhs mercilessly.
