Satguru Hari Singh (1819–1906) was the younger brother of Satguru Ram Singh. Following the deportation of his elder brother, Satguru Hari Singh took on the monumental task of sustaining the Namdhari (Kuka) movement amidst severe colonial government oppression.[1] The colonial British authorities imposed harsh restrictions on the Namdhari Sikhs, declaring them rebels and severely limiting their movements and gatherings.[2] Despite these challenges, Satguru Hari Singh persevered in maintaining both the freedom struggle and religious practices of the Namdhari Sikhs.[3]
