Pandit Lekh Ram

Pandit Lekh Ram (1858 – 6 March 1897) was an Arya Samaj Sanatan Dharmi leader. He is famous for his encounters with the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. He also wrote a book in falsification of Ahmad's Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya and named it Takzeeb e Barahin Ahmadiyya (A falsification of the Barahin e Ahmadiyya). He was assassinated on March 6, 1897. Ahmadis claim this was in accordance with the prophecies of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.

Pt.Lekh Ram was born in April 1858 CE. (the 8th of Chaitra, 1915 (Vikrami)) at a small village Sayyed Pur, Jhelum District (now Pakistan-some victims of partition call Pakistan as Muslim Bhaarat).His nickname was lekhu . His father's name was Tara Singh and his mother was Bhag Bhari. He served in the Punjab Police for some years, when posted at Peshawar, he came under the influence of the teachings of Munshi Kanhaiya Lal Alakhdhari and came to know about the founder of the Arya Samaj and its founder Dayanand Saraswati. He resigned the Police service voluntarily and devoted his life for the propagation of Vedas and became a preacher of Punjab Arya Pratinidhi Sabha. He was the founder of the Arya Samaj branch in Peshawar. He was married and had one son who died in early childhood.

He wrote the life history of Dayanand Saraswati and some 33 other books in Urdu. Some of which were translated in English, Hindi and Sindhi. He preached the view points of Arya Samaj and vedic religion. He is reported to be an enthusiastic debater. When Mirza Ghulam Ahmad published his magnum opus the Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya (1884), Lekh Ram challenged him in very strong words and wrote a falsification of the book, namely Takzeeb e Barahin Ahmadiyya.
