India - Sikh Revolutionary Baba Kharak Singh - Large rare early photograph during the British Raj, showing Sikh freedom fighter Baba Kharak Singh with Ram Singh President of the Golden Temple during the Indian independence movement. Baba Kharak Singh was involved in the Indian independence movement and was president of the Central Sikh League. He was a Sikh political leader and virtually the first president of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. He organized a mammoth demonstration in 1928 when the Simon Commission visited Lahore. Also during 1928-29, he vehemently opposed the Nehru Committee Report until the Congress Party shelved it and took action to secure the Sikhs' concurrence in the framing of constitutional proposals in the future. He was again sent to jail in 1931 but was released after six months. He was re-arrested in 1932 and served another 19 months in prison.
