AMAR SIṄGH (1888-1962), who came into prominence in the Gurdwārā Reform movement, was the eldest of the three sons of Gopāl Siṅgh of the village of Jhabāl, in Amritsar district of the Punjab. His great-grandfather, Gulāb Siṅgh, had served in the army of Mahārājā Raṇjīt Siṅgh and his grandfather, Harbhagat Siṅgh had been an aide-de-camp to Kaṅvar Nau Nihāl Siṅgh. Born in 1888, Amar Siṅgh was educated at the village school and at Khālsā Collegiate School, Amritsar. After passing the matriculation examination, he joined the police department and became a sub-inspector. Once as he saw police officials snatch away kirpāns from some Sikhs, he protested and told the superintendent of police that dispossessing a Sikh of his kirpānmeant violating his religious freedom. Demolition by the British of a portion of the outer wall of Gurdwārā Rikābgañj in Delhi, ban on the wearing of kirpān by Sikhs and incidents such as the Budge Budge firing led Amar Siṅgh to resign his appointment in the police. He got started on a political career by organizing and addressing, in association with Dān Siṅgh Vachhoā, a series of public meetings in his own village and in the neighbourhood. He defied orders of the deputy commissioner of Amritsar banning the meeting to be convened at Mañjī Sāhib, close to the Golden Temple, to protest against a robe of honour having been conferred by the manager of the Darbār Sāhib on General Dyer, who had ordered the firing in Jalliāṅvālā Bāgh. The meeting did take place and resolutions castigating the deputy commissioner as well as the manager were adopted.

He participated in the non-cooperation movement launched by the Indian National Congress as well as in the Akālī morchās for the reformation of the gurdwārās. On 16 July 1922, he was elected vice-president of the Shiromaṇī Gurdwārā Parbandhak Committee. He suffered imprisonment again for making seditious speeches at the time of the morchā for securing release from the British of the keys of the Golden Temple toshākhānā. After the Sikh Gurdwaras Act was passed, Amar Siṅgh drifted more towards the Congress and remained for some time president of the Punjab Provincial Congress Committee. He died on 28 March 1962 at the village of Dayāl Bhaṛaṅg, in Ajnālā tahsīl of Amritsar district, where he had been allotted lands after the partition of the Punjab (1947).
