ICS (2 March 1909 – 13 August 1986) was a Sikh philosopher, theologian, politician-parliamentarian, and a prolific writer of the twentieth century. As a distinguished linguist he had a mastery over English, Gurmukhi, Persian, Arabic and Sanskrit. As a votary of Sikh interests he was very vocal against any anti-Sikh stance. Immediately after Indian Independence, the government apparatus started exhibiting its bias against all minorities, including Sikhs. In October 1947, during his posting at Kangra, Sirdar Kapur Singh was particularly angered by a government circular issued by the Governor of Panjab Chandu Lal Trivedi to all district authorities that described Sikh community as having criminal tendencies. He lodged a strong objection to the circular, inviting displeasure of the Governor. He was later dismissed from the services on fictitious grounds of corruption and insubordination. Major influence behind Anandpur Resolution As a Sikh ideologue he was the moving spirit behind the Anandpur Sahib Resolution that was adopted by the Shiromani Akali Dal in 1973, which like several other of his pronouncements became a crucial enunciation of modern Sikh political formula and policy. A very stirring Sikh document of the modern period was the Presidential address given at the Hari Singh Nalwa conference convened at Ludhiana on 14 July, 1965, Although it was nowhere specified, that document as well as, all important Sikh political or intrinsically scholarly documents of that period bore the imprint of Kapur Singh's thinking, if not the ink of his pen.
