Sardar Har Lal Singh was a freedom fighter, social worker that played a leading role in Shekhawati farmers’ movement for abolition of Jagirdari system. He was born in 1901 at village Mandasi of Jhunjhunu district in Rajasthan. His entire family was committed for the freedom movement.
Sardar Har Lal Singh was evicted from his agricultural land and residence by the Jagirdars for his acts of taking part in the Jagirdari abolition movement. Jagirdars lodged a number of false cases against him but he was always succeeded in getting rid of them. The Mandawa thakur attacked him in 1946 in a planned conspiracy. In this a person was murdered and Har Lal’s brother received serious injuries in head. All attempts by the Jagirdars could not refrain him from freedom movement and he continued to lead the farmers and served the farmers through Kisan Sabha and Praja Manda.
Pushkar adhiveshan 1925
Pushkar adhiveshan 1925 organized by All India Jat Mahasabha was presided over by Maharaja Kishan Singh of Bharatpur. Sir Chhotu Ram, Madan Mohan Malviya, Chhajju Ram etc. farmer leaders had also attended. This function was organized with the initiative of Master Bhajan Lal Bijarnia of Ajmer - Merwara. The farmers from all parts of Shekhawati had come namely, Chaudhary Govind Ram, Kunwar Panne Singh Deorod, Ram Singh Bakhtawarpura, Chetram Bhadarwasi, Bhuda Ram Sangasi, and Moti Ram Kotri. 24-year young boy Har Lal Singh also attended it. The Shekhawati farmers took two oaths in Pushkar namely, 1. They would work for the development of the society through elimination of social evils and spreading of education. 2. ‘Do or Die’ in the matters of exploitation of farmers by the Jagirdars.
Jhunjhunu adhiveshan 1932
There was a grand gathering of farmers under the banner of Jat Mahasabha in Jhunjhunu on 11-13 February 1932. 60000 Jat farmers attended it. Thakur Deshraj camped at Jhunjhunu for 15 days to make it a success. The farmers from all parts of India attended it. It was presided by Rao Sahib Chaudhary Rishal Singh Rayees, who was escorted from station to the place of meeting on elephant accompanied by a caravan of camels. This program was of Jats but all the communities cooperated and welcomed. Kunwar Panne Singh Deorod welcomed this rally where as Vidyadhar Singh Sangasi did the welcome of ‘Jaipur Prantiya Jat Kshatriya Sabha’ rallies. Though the Jagirdars did all attempts to make it a failure, but it proved a success. On the appeal of fund collection the participant farmers donated their gold ornaments, which they were wearing. This was the first opportunity of awakening the Shekhawati farmers and proved a grand success. Sardar Harlal Singh and Chaudhary Ghasi Ram had traveled a lot for its publicity and spread its message. Some of the competent people were awarded Kshatriya titles. For example Chaudhary Har Lal Singh was awarded as ‘Sardar’, Ratan Singh of Bharatpur as ‘Kunwar’ and Chaudhary Ram Singh as ‘Thakur’. Thus the Rajput monopoly over these titles vanished.
The Jat Prajapati Maha-Yagya 1934
In 1934, to spread the principles of Arya Samaj and create awakening in Shekhawati, it was decided to hold the Prajapati Yagya (Prayer ceremony for the Lord of Universe). The Jat Prajapati Maha-Yagya was organized at Sikar from 20 - 29 January 1934. Kunwar Hukam Singh Rahees Angai (Mathura) was made Yagyapati or Chairman of the Yagya. He had been Chairman of the Arya Prathinidhi Sabha, Uttar Pradesh province and All Arya Prathinidhi Sabha, Delhi, for many years. Chaudhary Kaluram of village Kudan was the Yagyaman. Acharya Shri Jagdev Sidhanthi received an invitation for this Yagya at his Gurukul at Kirttal, In that invitation was he requested to attend the Yagya and bring twenty Bhramcharis and disciples with him. Volunteers went to all the households in all the villages in the region and collected material that would be needed. They collected Ghee, Flour, Gur, and invited all the householders to participate. Hundreds of cans of Ghee and hundreds of sacks of flour were collected.
During the Yagya 3000 men and women adopted the Yogyopavit, which was a symbol Kisan sangathan. Sheetal Kumari daughter of Kunwar Netram Singh adopted yagyopavit. Chaudhary Chimana Ram of Sangasi brought his wife wearing salwar-kurta. The unity of Jat farmers had terrified the Jagirdars of Sikar. The role played by Sardar Har Lal Singh and Thakur Deshraj was unparallel which made this yagya a grand success.
A family committed for freedom
Jagirdars imprisoned Sardar Har Lal Singh in 1938 for one year in two cases against him. During this period his mother Foolan Devi and wife Ramkauri took his place so that the movement is not adversely affected. They took a group of women in year 1939 and reached Jaipur for satyagrah. Both were arrested and put in Jail. Ramkauri had his 6-month-old son with her who was also kept in Jail. His mother Foolan Devi was released from Jail only after when she was seriously ill. Seth Jamana Lal Bajaj and Hira Lal Shastri tried their best to take her to Jaipur for treatment but she refused to leave his village. His wife Ramkauri Devi was also active and took part in all the movements, rallies, gatherings etc for the freedom from 1930 - 1947. Her role in the awakening of women in Jhunjhunu district was unique.
The Praja Mandal
The Praja Mandal leaders also took keen interest in rural peasant affairs and held several of their sessions in rural area towns. The peasant leaders utilized the Praja Mandal as a valuable channel of access to the larger body of political protest and held important positions in it. Sardar Har Lal Singh became the President of Praja Mandal. Others included Chowdhary Kisan Singh and Chowdhary Ishwar Singh. This movement got support from famous Kisan leaders like, Sir Chhotu Ram, Baldev Ram Mirdha, Nathuram Mirdha and Chaudhary Kumbha Ram Arya. After a long struggle the farmers got rid of oppression and got the ownership rights over the land they were cultivating.
After independence also he served the farmers through Congress Party. Harlal Singh later on also became first RPCC chairman.

Thanks Dharmpalji for your valuable inputs,
I do not have your book Kargil to France with me so I am not able to get inputs from it. My objective is that we should be able to get info about any person on a single click on internet. I got info from one of your articles in Jatbandhu that Richhpal Ram is Lamba jat from Barda village in Haryana. From there I could get that on internet search all info about him is available on internet. But if we simply search Richhpal Ram we get 16 websites but we can not make out from that info if he is Jat and Lamba is no where mentioned.
Similarly you search Risaldar Badlu Ram you find info on 40 websites but you can not make out if he is Jat.
My request is that these informations should be brought out on Jat sites at least. All can not have access to the printed books. Wikimedia is best searchable media on internet. So I try to put these on Wikipedia and Jatland Wiki. There is a scope for editing Wiki so one can correct these if some error is there. I request to put more and more data about Jats who have contributed significantly to the society. Jats can feel proud of them !!!!
