The
Fear of the Government
The Government appointed many secret agents to study and report on the activities of these
Kukas. R. G. Taylor, the then Commissioner of Ambala, gave a report after a detailed study
of the Kuka sect. It was an important document submitted to the British Government in
Punjab. He says, 'In my opinion a day will definitely dawn when these Kuka youths will
draw their swords against us (the British).'
The officiating Commissioner of Ambala J. W. Macnab requested the British Government to
arrest Ram Singh immediately. He wrote, 'Whatever might have been the motive of this
religious leader in the beginning, now it is definitely political.'
Though the secret agents of the British Government were giving much trouble, the sect of
the Kukas quickly grew in numbers. No wonder it had 4,30,000 members by 1871. The affairs
of the sect were guided by the Sadguru with the help of his Subas. The Subas met regularly
in the durbar
(court) of Ram Singh. |
