Bhai Vasti Ram (1708-1802), was son of Bhai Bulaka Singh, who is said to have accompanied Guru Gobind Singh to the South in 1707 from where he returned with his blessings to settle in Lahore. Vasti Ram lived through the long period of persecution the Sikhs endured and their eventual rise to political power in the Punjab. He devoted himself to the study of medicine, and became famous for his skill in the use of indigenous herbs. He was deeply religious and Godfearing, and treated his patients free of charge. Stories of his healing power and of his piety spread far and wide, and he came to be credited ‘with supernatural powers. To say nothing of the common people, he was visited by important Sikh chiefs who came to seek his blessings. Among his frequent visitors were Jassa Singh Ahluvalia and the Bharigi sard’di’s, Lahina Singh, Gu[jar Singh, Ganda Singh and Jhanda Singh. Maharaja Ranjit Singh himself became an ardent devotee early in Ins career.
He often used to say tliat it was due to Bhai Vasti Ram’s blessings that he came out successful in the battle ofBhasin (1800), which confirmed him in the possession of Lahore. Bhai Vasti Ram died in 1802 at the ripe age of 94. A marble samadh was raised near the Lahore Fort at the spot where he was cremated. Maharaja Ranjit Singh used to visit it on the occasion of his death anniversary. The structure, like Jain Mandir and many others, faced the wrath of angry mob after the disturbing Babri Mosque incident in 1992.

The Dyal Singh Trust Library was established in Lahore in 1908 in pursuance of the Will of the Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia. It was first setup in the Exchange Building, which was the residence of Sardar Dyal Singh. Later, it was shifted to the existing building. Initially, it was started with one thousand books and a grant of Rs.60,000/= provided by Sardar Dyal Singh, to meet the financial requirements of the Library.
The income from his personal property was donated to run the day to day affairs of the Library, and they were supervised by a Trust. The Library enjoyed popularity before partition. However, in 1948 it suffered a considerable loss owing to riots in Lahore and a good number of books and its property were lost /damaged.
The Library remained closed for 12 years owing to the migration of its Non-Muslim Trustees. It restarted functioning in 1964 when its administrative control was taken-over by the Evacuee Trust Property Board, Government of Pakistan, Lahore. In 1985 under a directive of the President of Pakistan, its administrative control was transferred to the Education Department, Govt. of the Punjab, but was again repatriated to the Evacuee Trust Property Board, Government of Pakistan, in 1989.

Founded in: 1908
Bhai Ram Singh was one of the Punjab's foremost architects, befor the formation of Pakistan. Amongst his work are the Durbar Hall, Lahore Museum, Governor's House in Shimla, Mayo School Of Arts, Aitchison College, Punjab University, & College Of Agriculture Lyallpur. He was a student of Mayo School Of Arts (Now National College Of Arts), Later, he served as its Principal from 1903 to 1913 and also designed its building.
He was born in a family of carpenters in a village near Batala and had a good sense of design and understanding of things mechanical. He was not even 14 when the repaired the piano of the Deputy Commissioner of Amritsar, even though he had no training of any kind.
When the Mayo School of Arts was established in 1875, he got admission there and learnt English, basic drawing, mathematics, geometry, indeed everything connected with his profession. He integrated the colonial with the native tradition in furniture making, tapestry making, interior decoration and architecture. Working under the guidance of his Principal, Kipling, he soon surpassed his peers.
The Great Exhibition of 1851 in London had generated two streams of influence. One was reform in art education and the second was trade in oriental wares. Both had their impact on India. The establishment of the Mayo School of Arts was a case in point.
After 8 years of studentship, he became assistant drawing master in Mayo School. In the early 1880’s, Principal Kipling (whose son, Rudyard, went on to win the Noble Prize) took him to Calcutta for an exhibition and introduced him to the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, who admired his work and invited him to the UK a little later. He performed so well there that Queen Victoria asked him to design an Indian Room in one of her palaces.
After two years in England, by the time he returned, he was so famous that achievement, honours and popularity were almost instant. Though delayed by several years, he ultimately became the Principal of the Mayo School of Arts, even though he had hardly any "formal education". What he achieved was based on his profound knowledge of the native tradition and the quality of his work.
His family is still here, but most of the material relating to him is to be found in Lahore. Perhaps Khalsa College, Amritsar, may like to enter some kind of an arrangement with the authors to reproduce the portion dealing with Bhai Ram Singh in the book in India or get a new book written. His portrait hangs in one of the Queen’s palaces in England, but nowhere in India.
