Worried about British power and Sikh weakness, Ram Singh determined to help Sikhs regain their self-respect. He introduced new practices among the Namdharis, who came to be called Kukas (from Punjabi kuk, “scream” or “cry”) because of the shrieks they emitted after the frenzied chanting of hymns.

Ram Singh was born into a respected small-farming family. As a young man, he became a disciple of Balak Singh, the founder of the austere Namdhari movement, from whom he learned of the great Sikh Gurus and heroes and of the Khalsa (Sikh military brotherhood). Before his death, Balak Singh appointed him leader of the Namdharis. At the age of 20 Ram Singh entered the army of the maharaja Ranjit Singh, the mainstay of the Sikhs. Three years later, on the death of Ranjit Singh, his army and domain fell apart. Worried about British power and Sikh weakness, Ram Singh determined to help Sikhs regain their self-respect. He introduced new practices among the Namdharis, who came to be called Kukas (from Punjabi kuk, “scream” or “cry”) because of the shrieks they emitted after the frenzied chanting of hymns. His sect was more puritanical and fundamental than other Sikh sects were. Namdharis wore handwoven white robes, bound their turbans in a distinctive way, carried wooden staves and rosaries of wool, and used special greetings and passwords. Their temples, known as gurdwaras, were Spartan in their simplicity.
