Chhaju Ram Lamba

Seth Sir Chhaju Ram Lamba (1861–7 April 1943) was a tycoon from Punjab Province.

Chhaju Ram was born in a Hindu Jat family in 1861 at Alakhpura in Bawani Khera tehsil, Bhiwani district of then Punjab (presently in Haryana state).

His father was Chaudhary Salig Ram Lamba who had migrated from the village of Gothra in Jhunjhunu district, Rajasthan.

[citation needed] When in his early 20s, Lamba met Arya Samajist engineer Raisaheb Shivnath Rai, who very much impressed him.

[citation needed] He set up secret associations to collectively oppose British rule without ruining his reputation among the Englishmen.
