GULZAR SINGH, BHAI

GULZAR SINGH, BHAI (d. 1737), a devoted Sikli, received the vows of the Khalsa at the hands of Guru Gobind Singh. He was among the five Sikhs sent along with Bhai Mani Singh to Amritsar in 1700 to manage the shrines there. In the days of severe persecution by the Mughal authority, Bhai Gulzar Singh was skinned to death at Lahore at the same time as Bhai Man! Singh was hacked to pieces (1737). A samddh or memorial shrine in his lion our was raised in Lahore near that of the latter.
