Story
Born in 1889 in Phadana, District Lahore, Sardar Karm Singh Sandhu came to the United States nearly twenty years later in 1908. After arriving, Sandhu married Santi Sandhu; together they had three children—two girls and one boy. Sandhu successfully farmed over 1000 acres of cotton in the Imperial Valley, where he was an active member of the community.
He was part of the establishment of the El Centro Gurdwara, giving money to support the temple. Sandhu was also a big supporter of the Gadhar Party movement. In addition to his accomplishments in the United States, Sardar Karm Singh Sandhu was also responsible for financially securing a large section of land for his remaining family members in India after Partition.
He also helped support his nephews Amar Singh Sandhu and Harbhajan Singh Sandhu to come to the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. Pictured by name from left to right: S. Harnam Singh Sandhu, Gurbaksh Singh Sandhu, Inder Kaur Aulakh, Balbir Singh Sandhu, and S. Karm Singh Sandhu.
