Sahib Singh

[3] As a youth, Natthu Ram was apprenticed to a Muslim teacher, Hayat Shah, son of Punjabi poet Hashim, to teach him the Persian language.

Whilst at junior school, he saw Sikh soldiers and was so impressed with them that he decided to keep unshorn hair.

[4] After passing the tenth grade, Sahib Singh joined a local school.

Sahib Singh's financial situation had improved by this time so that he was able to pay back his debts.

Sahib Singh took part in Guru Ka Bagh Morcha in 1922 and was arrested.

Sahib Singh wrote extensively in Punjabi, but most of his works have now been translated into English, Hindi and other prominent world languages.
