JAVAND SIṄGH, BHĀĪ (1887-1921), one of the martyrs of Nankāṇā Sāhib, was born on 22 September 1887, the second of the three sons of Bhāī Ālā Siṅgh and Māī Bisso of Nizāmpur village in Amritsar district. His elder brother Gujjar Siṅgh had registered himself as a volunteer for the liberation of holy shrines at Nankāṇā Sāhib, but when the call came on 19 February 1920, Javand Siṅgh insisted that he take his brother's place in the jathā led by Bhāī Lachhmaṇ Siṅgh Dhārovālī which was allowed. The jathā was killed in the firing on their entry into Gurdwārā Janam Asthān the following morning.
