Bhai Kehar Singh, son of Bhai Jita Singh, grandson of Bhai Rama and great-grandson of Bhai Sukhia Mandan, was a dedicated Singh of the time of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib. When Bahadur Shah, the Mogul emperor proclaimed annihilation of the Sikh nation, the authorities began killing each and every Sikh. He, along with his brothers Bhai Anup Singh, Bhai Parsan Singh and his nephew (son of Bhai Man Singh Nishanchi), was buried alive at Alowal (near Lahore) on October 11, 1711.
