Early in his youth he was converted to radical politics by Kararn Singh, of Daulatpur, leader of the Chakravarti Jatha, and helped organize the Jathas major divans at Mahalpur (March 1921) and at Kukkar Muzara (October 1921). The Chakravarti Jathas of Kishan Singh Gargajj and Karam Singh merging together made up plans at a meeting at Jassoval on 25 December 1922 to maim, plunder or murder informers and helpers of the British government.
