[QUOTE="Neutral Singh, post: 2127, member: 2"] Who started a new line in modern Punjabi verse making a departure from the traditional love romance or lays of heroic poetry in Braj or Hindi-ized Punjabi, was born in 1882 in Kalasvala, a village in Pasrur tahsil of Sialkot district, now in Pakistan. Hence the epithet Kalasvalia. Kartar Singh mastered scripture-reading in the village gurdwara and joined the 47th Sikh Battalion, later 4th Battalion of the 11th Sikh Regiment, as a granthi or Sikh religious teacher. After leaving the army, he became a granthi at the Darbar Sahib at Amritsar, rising subsequently to the position of head granthi. An avid reader of Sikh historical texts and blessed with a natural flare for poetry, He assigned himself to the task of composing a comprehensive history of the Sikhs in verse. This had been done earlier by Bhai Santokh Singh, Ratan Singh Bhangu and Giani Gian Singh but their language was dominated by extensive admixture of Braj idiom; hence not easily intelligible to Punjabi readers. Kartar Singh used current Punjabi in his poetry. His favourite prosodic metre was bait, popularized by Punjabi romances such as Hir by Waris Shah. Not that he did not try his hand at other metres. His voluminous biography of Guru Gobind Singh, Sri Kalgidhar Darshan, is in the doha-chaupai style of Tulasi's Ramayana, and he successfully uses the indigenous Punjabi var or pauri style, in two of his minor works, Sardarni jhala Kaur and Bhai Kalyana. Pauris and Kabitts are used in Varan Dharam Shahidan.
