Vijay Singh Pathik
Indian activist
Vijay Singh Pathik (also spelled Bijaya Singh Pathik; born Bhoop Singh Gurjar; 1882–1954), popularly known as Rashtriya Pathik and frequently referred to in official correspondence by his signature initials B.S. Pathik,
was an Indian revolutionary. He was among the first Indian revolutionaries who lit the torch of freedom movement against British rule. Much before Mohandas K. Gandhi initiated the Satyagrah movement, Pathik experimented during the Bijolia’s Kisan agitation. After being implicated in the Lahore conspiracy case in 1915, he changed his name to Vijay Singh Pathik. His grandfather's sacrifice in the struggle of 1857 in Bulandshahr district, affected him deeply to be freedom fighter.
Early life
Pathik was born in 1882 in Guthawali village, Bulandshahar district in a Gurjar family. His father had taken active part in the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 and was arrested multiple times. Pathik's Grand Father was Inder Singh Gurjar, who was Dewan of Malagarh Riyasat and was killed while fighting against the British. While, his birth name was Bhoop Singh Gurjar, but he changed it to "Vijay Singh Pathik" after being implicated in the Lahore Conspiracy Case in 1915.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
