Dhian Singh Mand (born 3 May 1961) is a Sikh politician[2] who has been serving as the Sarbat Khalsa appointed acting jathedar of the Akal Takht since 2015 due to the imprisonment of its permanent jathedar Jagtar Singh Hawara.[3]
Dhian Singh Mand was born on 3 May 1961 in Sedia Ka Ruhila, Firozpur, Punjab, India. He is the son of Ajaib Singh Mand and completed his matriculation at Government High School, Noorpur Sethiean.[4]
In 1989, Dhian Singh Mand achieved a surprising victory by over 200,000 votes in the Firozepur constituency during the Indian general elections.[5] Mand, who was relatively unknown at the time, defeated prominent figures such as Congress leader Jagmeet Singh Brar and Janata Dal leader Devi Lal. His success was attributed to endorsement from the Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), as well as the influence of the martyrdom of three of his brothers in police encounters.[6]
