<p class="C1">&#65279JAVAND SI&#7748GH, one of the five Sikhs who administered <i>p&#257hul</i> or the vows of <u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257 to Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Duleep Si&#7749gh at Aden, belonged to the village of Bark&#299, in Lahore district. After serving for a while as a police constable, he had retired to his village to take to farming. When the news came that the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 had been detained at Aden and refused permission to come to India, Javand Si&#7749gh and &#7788h&#257kur Si&#7749gh of W&#257g&#257h proceeded to Aden to meet him. At Aden, Duleep Si&#7749gh decided formally to return to the faith of his forefathers and receive the rites of initiation. Javand Si&#7749gh was included among the five Sikhs chosen to conduct the ceremony.</p>
