Shaheed Bhai Rasal Singh ji 'Arifke'



Shaheed Bhai Rasal Singh ji 'Arifke'
( Vill-Arif ke, Distt- Ferozepur), Damdami Taksal.

Before coming into Sikhi, bhai sahib was deep stuck in drugs,alcohol and meat eating and other viles but One darshan of Sant Jarnail Singh ji Khalsa changed him.After listening to Santji's Katha, Bhai Rasal Singh gave up drugs,meat and alcohol and kept his Kesh.Few days later, in 1979, he took Amrit and joined Damdami Taksal as Vidyarthi.

When Santji sent Singhs to punish Thanedar Bichu ram, Bhai Rasal Singh was one of the singhs alongwith Bhai Ajaib Singh and Gurnaam Singh. Bhai sahib emptied his carbine in Bichu ram's body and Singhs fled giving out jaikaare.

During Operation Bluestar, Bhai Rasal Singh was in morcha right of Sri Akaal Takhat Sahib. He was so brave and daredevil that during operation, on morning of 6th june 1984 at sunrise, when ground in front of Akaal Takhat Sahib was full of bodies of indian armymen, two armymen used to pick their heads from within dead and look for way to escape. Singhs said we should take both these attackers down, but it was tough taking the shot as tanks and artillery were pounding parkarma and Akaal Takhat. Bhai Rasal Singh left his morcha, came into open ground without fear of death, and shot dead both army soldiers from close range before returning to his morcha. He escaped army tank fire and came back into the morcha, where he attained Shaheedi with rest of Singhs of his morcha around 9.30 am on 6th June.

Bhai Jarnail Singh Booh was part of 'mission bichu ram' with Bhai Ajaib Singh and Bhai Rasal Singh.

Out of a group of Singhs who had been arrested during the morchay, Bichu Ram began asking the Singhs where they had taken Amrit from, one Singh named Leher Singh replied "from Bhindranwale Jatha". Bichu Ram shaved of his beard and said go and tell your Bhindranwale I did this.

Bas fir ki si, Bichu Ram signed his own death warrant. Bhai Ajaib Singh Mahakal was sent to finish of the dusht.
