Teja Singh was a Sikh scholar, teacher, author and translator.[note 1][1] He was a Camridge and Columbia University-educated humanitarian, intellectual, and Sikh community leader.[2] He became a role model and trailblazer for the Sikh community due to his Western-education and knowledge in the Sikh religion.[2] Teja Singh was reportedly treated like a “veritable demigod” by his co-religionists.[2]
