After much deliberation I have gone for the one and only Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa.

Why?

1) He represented the Sikh ideal magnificently.
2) He died a heroes death (although there is some mystery to it).
3) The way he is supposed to have carried and conducted himself.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/history-of-sikhism/23994-most-influential-sikhs-history-why-suggest.html
4) He carried out his duty without question.
5) He faced and defeated and opposition which the Coalition forces of today are having trouble with (maybe USA and UK can learn something).

I will definitely try to do so. I'm planning to create a pdf report of the history of Bhagats of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. and put it for download. It will take time. but I'll manage to do so by the end of April and release the pdf in the first week of May.

This is really hard. Right now if I could pick only one it would be Bhai Gurdas ji. If I can pick more than one (which we can do) then I need to add some other names. Still thinking about this.
