India A Brief narrative of the Kookah with a account of Ram Singh of Bhainee with a memorandum dated 1867 stating that the Sect should be watched closely. Contains a 6-page list of Ram Singh’s leading disciples. Ram Singh Kuka was a soldier a religious leader and a prominent contributor to the Indian freedom movement. He was the founder of the Kuka movement. His policy of non-cooperation with the British was immensely popular among the masses mainly in Punjab. Ram Singh was born at Bhaini in Ludhiana district of Punjab in 1816. He joined as a soldier in the Sikh army and there he came under the influence of Bhai Balak Singh. After Balak Singh`s death he took up the responsibility of the missionary works. Ram Singh was strongly opposed to the British rule and he started an intense non-cooperation movement against them. Led by him the people boycotted English education mill made cloths and other imported goods. The Kuka or the Namdhari movement picked momentum with time and the British reacted violently killing many Kuka freedom fighters. Ram Singh was promptly deported to Rangoon. Later on he was sent to Andaman under life imprisonment. He passed away on November 29 1885. Ram Singh had such a great influence on his followers that even after his death they refused to believe that he was really dead and would return again to guide them. His method of non-cooperation and civil disobedience was later adopted by Mahatma Gandhi.
