Bhai Hardit Singh, son of Bhai Narain Singh, was born at village Kaleke (district Moga). When he grew up, he went to Malaya. There, he joined the police force and worked there for five years. After this he made a visit to his native village. When the First Shaheedi Jatha to Jaito, passed through village Rode, on February 20, 1924, he reached there to welcome the Jatha. There, he became so emotional that he too accompanied the Jatha. The Jatha reached Jaito on February 21, 1924. At Jaito, the British army fired at the Jatha. Bhai Hardit Singh was one of the Sikhs who embraced martyrdom. He was 32-33 years old at the time of martyrdom.
