Life and backgroundโ€ป

Uday Singh is the nephew of the former head Jagjit Singh. He was declared the current leader in 2012 .

In 2016, the Namdhari leader was given permissionโ€”โ€”to bullet proof three of his cars. And was accorded Z-plus security from the Indian government after the murder of the Chand Kaur and a bomb blast in Jalandhar.

In 2018, he inaugurated a new old age home in Patiala.

In 2020 he encouraged Indians to remain at home amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Celebration of 550th Birth Anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Jiโ€ป

In 2019, Uday Singh organised a special nagar kirtan to commemorate the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak in Sultanpur Lodhi.

Controversyโ€ป

There were disagreements and division amongst the Namdhari community surrounding his ascension as the next guru succeeding Guru Jagjit Singh in 2012.

He was attacked by a person during August 2013 in England who claimed of sexual abuse in the mid-1990's. It was denied by him and the reason invalidated by Birmingham Crown Court finding the attack a vicious assassination attempt.
