Sant Indar Singh Chakravarti


Recommended Posts

Chakkarvartiji was quite a character in his time. He was essentially a writer/researcher with a very hot temper. During the time of Satguru Partap Singh Ji when there was a constant effort of publishing pro-British and Anti-Namdhari literature, Chakkarvartiji and Nidhan Singh Alam were actively involved in responding to those propaganda. What exactly do you want to know about him?

Anything and everything. He was invited to pen the preface to the Nirmal Panchaiti Akhara's edition of Nirmal Panth Pradipika by Gyani Gyan Singh.

That's him all the way to the left. Don't know how to attach higher quality pix, sorry.

Don't really have indepth info on him, but here are some factoids.

He was a well known and level minded writer and researcher but at the same time he is known for not taking crap from people with bs hateful propaganda. He authored quite a few books and was chief editor of Satjug for a number of years and was involved in the political struggle as well. He got people from all different backgrounds, from politicians of Congress (Nehru, Rajinder Prasad etc) to communist leaders and from people of Aryasamaji to Nihangs and well respected personalities like Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha to contribute their writings for Satjug's special editions. The then controversial and powerful piece of article about Maharaja Ripudaman Singh of Patiala announcing that he was a Namdhari and being a Namdhari was not a crime or immoral, as the propaganda was at the time, was also retrieved by his efforts. At the Guru Nanak Sarab Sampardaye conference he was also a participating member and the chairman of the reception committee.

For more info you may also submit your question to the Namdhari Yahoo! newsgroup.

Thank you so much. That is fascinating. Was he a prolific author?

he was very imaginative in detailing the missing history of Dasam Pitas life in "hiding" and then appearing out of nowhere to giv e guruship to SatGuru Balak Singh. Imagine havin to write almost 100 years of history and biography from nothing. On this he did a god job, but again then he had a sidekick called nidhan singh alam.

also Fateh singh, why have non of the SantKhalsa got pajama on?

Chatanga, have you even read any of his work? Or merely narrating what you read in Ganda Singh's books? If it was a work of imagination then the only person to thank for would be Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha's family for keeping such meticulous records and providing Nidhan Singh Alam and Chakarvartiji with all the material to write all that 'missing history'. I doubt that you'd know this but Nidhan Singh Allam was himself a Singh Sabhia at first and received Gurmantar by order of Sant Kesar Singhji, the same one who blessed Teja Singhji of Barhu Sahib via his Gurdev. He was most definitely not Chakkarvarti ji's side kick.
