name. Ludhiana has produced two name-sakes who have been pioneers of
their own fields. One is Sardar Kapur Singh who got a master’s degree
from Cambridge, made it to the I.C.S. and left scholarly works. After
the Nawab (18th century) and before the Sardar (20th century) was born
Kapoor Singh in the 19th century. He is popularly remembered as Kapoor
