Shaheed Udham Singh
Kamboj was a son of Tehal Singh and born on 26th December, 1899 at
Sunam, Sangrur District, Punjab. He belonged to Kamboj family of Jammu
gotra (sub-caste) and by his historic martyrdom upheld the valiant
Kshatriya tradition of the Kambojas, a tradition which they have
always kept up since their glorious Vedic Aryan days. Udham Singh was
known at various stages in his relatively short life by the following
names: Sher Singh, Udham Singh, Udhan Singh, Ude Singh, Uday Singh,
Frank Brazil and Ram Mohammed Singh Azaad.
Tehal Singh's name before taking amrit paan was Chuhar Singh. Tehal
Singh was at that time working as a watchman on a railway crossing in
the neighbouring village of Upall. He died in 1907.
As Udham Singh's parents died at very early age
of seven, he became orphan and was got admitted along with his elder
brother Sadhu Singh in Centre Khalsa Orphanage Pultighar, Amritsar on
October 24, 1907 with the help of Bhai Kishan Singh Rogi.
