Jivani Sardar Sewa Singh Thikriwal Author: Gurcharn Singh Year: 1969 Description: Punjab, the land of the brave Sikh warriors, has witnessed the rise of numerous Sikh martyrs who fearlessly laid down their lives in the pursuit of religious, political, and human rights. S. Sewa Singh Thikriwala (1882-1935) emerges as an eminent freedom fighter and Sikh martyr of the twentieth century in Punjab. As the visionary founder of the Praja Mandal Movement and an ardent Akali activist, he endured prolonged imprisonments and ultimately made the ultimate sacrifice, bearing the brunt of ruthless oppression under the feudal rule of Patiala state. His life and sacrifice epitomize extraordinary fortitude and serve as a perennial source of inspiration for generations to come.
