Bhai Khushal Singh (17.3.1889 – 20.2.1921), son of Bhai Budh Singh, was born at village Nizampur Dewa Singh Wala (district Sheikhupura). Bhai Khushal Singh never went to school but he remembered a lot of Gurbani by heart. From his early youth, he had an interest in religious activities. He attended the session of the Sikh League and the Dharowali Conference. Since then, he became a part and parcel of the Gurdwara Reform Movement. On February 19, 1921, in spite of opposition by the family, he joined the Jatha to Nanakana Sahib, where the Mahant and his hired men mercilessly killed him.
