Hope the sangat can help me on collating DETAILED information of the Babbar Akalis and the Movement in the 1920's.

Firstly, I need some DETAILED information on the Babbar Akali Lehar and the Babbars that were in the Jatha that can be found online or in which books?

Secondly, I need high quality (if possible) pictures or paintings of the Babbars involved in the movement. Shaheeds such as Jathedar Kishan Singh Gargajj, Babbar Dhanna Singh Behbalpuri, Babbar Karam Singh Daulatpur...etc etc.....pictures of the time seem very hard to obtain.....

The following pictures are good but low quality, similar ones in high quality would be excellent:

Any online material or from books is okay as well and where to obtain the pictures or paintings?

Thanks in advance...

Lol yeh, Shaheed Jathedar Bhai Sukhdev Singh Jee Babbar got inspiration from the Babbar Akali Lehar of the 1920's and Jathedar Kishan Singh Jee Gargajj after reading the book "Babbar de Vithaya, Golee Chaldee Rahe". Jathedar Jee then formed an organised guerrilla fighting force i.e. the Babbar Khalsa Jathebandhi in order to protect the elder Singhs from the Akhand Keertani Jatha from police harassment.

After coming into contact with a few Singhs in Punjab that were very close to the Singhs from the freedom struggle Jatha of the 1920's, they have inspired and asked Daas with some others to dedicate a website to the Soorme Jodhe of the Babbar Akali Lehar.

But it's getting hold of pictures thats the hardest thing to do lol. ANYONE?
