Bhai Surjan Singh One of the most popular Raagi jathas of all time would be the jatha of Bhai Surjan Singh Ji whose set of Asa Di Vaar records remain one of the best selling after more than 50 years. Bhai Surjan Singh Ji was born in the village of Naushera near Tarn Taran in 1911. He was visually disabled, but it is unclear if he was born without sight or he lost it due to an illness. However, he did not allow this to limit his achievements in any way. As we commonly hear, when we lose one sense, our body has ways of heightening other senses and skills.
