The Government of Panjab nominated him to the Panjab Legislative Council. In a survey conducted by the Hindustan Times to find out as to who was the most influential Sikh of the twentieth century, Bhai Vir Singh emerged as the clear favourite. With a view to popularizing Bhai Vir Singh's writings Bhai Vir Singh Sahitya Sadan was established in 1958. Since then printing of Bhai Vir Singh's works, their translation in various Indian and foreign languages has become major concern of the Sadan. With a view to providing the readers a most readable and authentic Biography of Bhai Vir Singh we are taking the liberty of publishing this work by Prof. Harbans Singh, Editor-in-Chief of the Encyclopaedia of Sikhism, which was first published by the Sahitya Akademy, Delhi, in 1972, to mark the centenary of the Saint-Poet. We are thankful to Prof. Harbans Singh's daughter Dr. Nikky Guninder Kaur of Colby College, Maine, U.S.A ., and the Sahitya Akademy, Delhi who have permitted us to reprint this scholarly work. We also wish to record our appreciation of Dr. Mohinder Singh who took the initiative of arranging permissions and has seen through publication of this volume.
