Namdhari Guru Ram Singh (3 February 1816 – 1885[1][2][3][4][note 1]) is known to the Namdhari sect of Sikhism as the second guru (religious leader), whilst for mainstream Sikhs such as Damdami Taksal and Nihangs, he is regarded as a 'Saint' and not a Guru. He is credited as being the first Indian to use non-cooperation and boycott of British goods and services as a political tool. He was exiled to Rangoon, Burma (Myanmar) by the British colonial government of India on 18 January 1872.[1][5] In 2016, the Government of India officially decided to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Ram Singh.[1][6]
