Shaheed Jathedar Bhai Gurdev Singh ji Kaunke


(First Jathedar of Akaal Takhat to attain Shaheedi after Akali Baba Phoola Singh ji).

Bhai sahib was a Charhdi kala Gurmukh, Diamond of Damdami Taksal and Loyal soldier of Khalsa Panth. Bhai sahib was appointed Working Jathedar of Akaal Takhat sahib in January 1986 and he did this sewa till his Shaheedi. He was the one who went out in Rural Punjab in that dark period and awakened Sikh masses by doing Katha of Guru Granth Sahib ji and Sri Dasam Granth. Areas of Ludhiana,Moga,Jagraon and Faridkot transformed considerably. Malwa belt of Punjab saw a revolution and there were Amrit Sanchars on daily basis in which hundreds used to tak Amrit and become Khalsa. Bhai Sahib had a highly pure character, high Gursikhi jeevan, Awastha and humble attitude. Thousands were inspired by his magnetic personality,left drugs and patitpuna and became Gursikhs and part of  Sikh movement. Seeing his Parchar, popularity, influence and sewa, He was arrested in 1989 by Sumedh Saini, hung upside down and beaten mercilessly. Police saw him as ''Second Bhindranwala''. Later he had to be released as he went to court and proved the police wrong.
On 20th December 1992, Bhai Sahib ji was arrested again and was tortured badly by Swaran ghotna, Harbhagwan sodhi and Gurdeep singh of Jagraon police. Bhai sahib was killed on 1st January 1993 and his body was thrown in a river. Before his Shaheedi, his bones were broken, flesh pierced with hot iron rods and electric shocks were given to Singh Sahib ji.  Still he remained in Charhdi kala.

 Parnaam Shaheeda nu.
