RAMASINGH KUKA |
|
The Arrangement The Kukas went to the extent of establishing their own postal system. It was useful to send secret communications also. The Kukas chosen for this work relayed the letters. They used to travel on foot with the letters avoiding the highways, each carrier handing over the letters to the next person. Sometimes they used horses. The highly confidential and secret messages were carried by word of mouth only. All these arrangements made the Kukas feel the importance of their role. Ram Singh appointed 22 officers to carry out the work efficiently and in a planned manner. He called them Subas. These Subas traveled throughout Punjab and spread the ideas of Ram Singh. Ram Singh very much wished that this group should become strong and be able to drive out the British. He also wished that this group should bring about social and religious reformation too. The Sadguru established contacts with the neighboring states of Kashmir and Nepal through his followers. They promised to help him in times of need. The followers of Ram Singh even went to Russia to seek help. They were the first persons to go to such a far off country in the cause of freedom. The names of those who went to Russia on that occasion are still found in the secret documents of the country. |
