He is considered one of the pioneers of modern Punjabi poetry.[2] He promoted Punjabi culture, language and publications through his life. In 1926, he became the President of Punjabi Sahit Sabha, a Punjabi Literary Society.[1]
Early lifeEdit
He was born in village Pasian-wala, district Sheikhupura (now in Pakistan).[3] His father Pohu Lal,[3] was an ordinary shopkeeper.[1] His father moved to village Lopoke in search for work. His father taught him Gurmukhi and Urdu scripts.[1] Dhaniram grew fond of calligraphy and went to Bombay to learn Gurmukhi typography.[1][3] Though a Hindu by birth, he became an admirer of the Sikh faith after he came in contact with the major Punjabi poet of that era Bhai Vir Singh.[1][3] After this meeting he felt inspired to write verses in the Punjabi Language.[1]
