PUNJAB HISTORY - KUKA MOVEMENT

After the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, Baba Ram Singh left service in 1845 and went to his hometown bhaini, Ludhiana.

Aa the british annexed punjab, he felt deeply for the people. So he made plans to revive traditions of Guru Gobind Singhji.

In 1857, he made Sant Khalsa Organization. He appointed Suba, governors for collection of funds for the organization.

Name KUKA comes from the way as when they assembled ( folowers ), used to emit LOUD KUKs or voices in religious gatherings. On taking account of it, the government made restrictions. This led to their popularity.

In 1871, Kukas killed bucthers at amritsar and raikot. This resulted in their hanging in jails. Ram singh was exiled to burma. Subas were banished.
