JIWAN SINGH


Bhai Jiwan Singh, son of Bhai Prem Chand (and grandson of Bhai Mula), was a dedicated Sikh of the time of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib. When Guru Gobind Singh Sahib went to Basali, on October 14, 1700, Bhai Jiwan Singh joined him. On October 19, Bhai Jiwan Singh joined a group of the Sikh soldiers, for a hunting tour. While chasing a tiger, they passed through village Khera Kalmot. The Ranghar and Gujjar residents of Kalmot attacked the Sikh party. Bhai Jiwan Singh was fatally wounded. The next day, he was cremated at Basali.
