Surinderjit Singh (born on 21-12-1932) taught English literature for three decades. He joined Ramgarhia College, Phagwara in 1957 and moved later on to G.G.N. Khalsa College, Ludhiana. He left the job in 1988 to devote himself whole-heartedly to the rendering into English verse of some portions of Gurbani in which he was already engaged since 1981. His renderings have been well-received by scholars and devout Sikhs alike
