Buddh Singh was born in the village of Sangohi in District Jhelum to his father Shri Ram Chand, originally from Punjab, Undivided India. After the Partition, the family resettled in Delhi, where Buddh Singh received education upto the middle school. His fervent commitment to India's independence led him to actively participate in major movements, including the Civil Disobedience Movement and the Quit India Movement.
In 1932, Buddh Singh was sentenced to a year in prison for his activism, spending this period in the Shahpur Jail. His dedication did not waver, and he faced imprisonment again in 1942, receiving a six-month sentence in the Old Central Jail in Multan. These stints in jail were a testament to his resilience and unwavering dedication to the cause of Indian freedom.
