Baba Binod Singh

The first jathedar of the Khalsa Panth and was from the 7th generation of Guru Angad Dev Ji (2nd Guru of the Sikhs). He accompanied Baba Banda Singh Bahadur in every battle and instead of being a commander who sent others into battles he was, like Banda Bahadur, known for leading the army from the front.

In the battle of Gurdas Nangal Baba Vinod Singh had a narrow escape while, unfortunately, Baba Banda Singh Bahadur was captured, imprisoned, tortured and died a martyr. Later Baba Vinod Singh was to fall as a martyr while leading his army in battle. His gurdwara is situated in Sialkot (Pakistan).
