Dewan Bahadur Satya Prakash Singha (1893–1948) was a politician of colonial India, and later, Pakistan, who served as the Speaker of the British Indian Punjab assembly.
"[5] In reality, "Christians of the Punjab [were] demographically hamstrung, as regardless what side they wanted to support, they were mainly present in Muslim majority areas.
The Assembly met in June of 1947 to decide the question, and an armed Sikh leader announced that he would attack anyone who voted in favor of Punjab uniting with Pakistan.
Ishtiaq Ahmed writes that: Accordingly the members of the Punjab Legislative Assembly, organised separately into the Muslim-majority western bloc and Hindu-Sikh majority eastern bloc (based on a notional basis in accordance with the 1941 census), voted on June 23 on the question of partitioning the province.
In 1958, Singha's family left Pakistan after years of humiliation and oppression and moved to independent India in sharp contrast to what diwan bahadur had imagined would happen.
