Sardar Ajit Singh Sandhu (23 February 1881 – 15 August 1947) was an Indian revolutionary and nationalist during the time of British rule in India and known for his role in organising agitations against anti-farmer laws known as the Punjab Colonisation Act (Amendment) 1906.

[3] Ajit Singh’s early education took place at Saindas Anglo Sanskrit School in Jalandhar, where he completed his metric studies.

[1] In 1907, Ajit Singh initiated the Pagri Sambhal Jatta Movement, a significant peasant uprising against the British government’s policies.

However, due to immense public pressure and the fear of unrest in the Indian Army, the exile orders were withdrawn, and both were released on 11 November 1907.

He also taught Persian at a university in Naples during World War II and delivered speeches in Hindustani to Indian soldiers in North Africa, encouraging them to join the fight for India’s independence.

But ambitious politicians hankering after personal power, under the patronage of foreign rulers, through conspiracy, abuse of religious fanaticism and ignorance of masses, have been busy in doing the greatest disservice to the future generations.

The seeds of disunion, sowed by the foreign rulers, have brought forth the tree which is now bearing its calamitous fruit in the shape of vivisection of the motherland.
