BHAI CHANDA SINGH (18851921) was born on 9 Savan 1942 Bk / 22 July 1885, the son of Bhai HUKAM Singh and Mat Nand Kaur, a peaSANT couple of village Nizampur, in AMRITsar district. The family shifted westward to Chakk No. 38 Nizampur Deva Singhvala, in a newly colonized district. As he grew up, Chanda Singh, was influenced by the current of SIKH reformation then sweeping the Punjab. When a call came for a shahidijatha, martyrs` column, to proceed to Delhi to rebuild the demolished wall of Gurdwara Rikabganj, Chanda Singh registered himself as a volunteer. He also attended the Dharovali conference on 13 October 1920. As Bhai Lachhman Singh`SJ`atAa bound for Nankana Sahib was passing by his village on 19 February 1921, Bhai Chanda Singh along with his brother, Ganga Singh, joined it, and fell a martyr the following morning in Gurdwara Janam Asthan.
