Early life
Khalsa was born on December 12, 1965 at Thaska Ali. Kurukshetra, Haryana. His father’s name is Ajit Singh and his mother is Mohinder Kaur. He has two brothers and one sister. He took primary and Sikh religious education from the Gurdwara Lakhnaur Sahib and was also baptized there. In 1987, he married Jasbir Kaur and had a son.
Campaign
In November 2013, he went on a 44-day hunger strike. The campaign was ended after Giani Gurbachan Singh (Akal Thakat Jathedar), promised to take up the issue with the State Government. After none of the detained Sikhs were released, Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa restarted his hunger strike, one year after his 2013 hunger strike. Over the course of the campaign, he got support from various other Sikh bodies. A number of Punjabi singers, actors and other artist visited him and pledged their support for his campaign.
His second campaign started on 14 November 2014 at Lakhnaur Gurdwara, Harayana. On the 8th January Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa, who had entered day 56, had proposed to visit Akal Takht - the highest temporal seat of Sikhs however a police blockade just a short distance from the Gurdwara prevented him fulfilling his wishes.
Details of the list of prisoners and discussion on the various options available to the Punjab government in case it wants to extend some relief to prisoners are detailed in the Tribune newspaper of India on the 11th Jan.
On the 10th January (Day 58) he developed breathing difficulties and was taken by authorities to Hospital, Khalsa to continue hunger strike whilst in hospital, Gurpiar Singh sits on hunger strike in the absence of Khalsa at Lakhnaur Gurdwara.
Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa ended his 2nd hunger strike after 64 days on the 15th January. Bhai Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa had been confined and kept isolated from his supporters at the Civil Hospital in Ambala under tight security since he was brought here for medical treatment.
