ABSTRACT

Kotla Sultan Singh (tehsil and district Amritsar) is the third village on a metalled road which branches off perpendicularly on the opposite side of a shadighar (wedding hall), located on the left side of the main road as one exits from the tiny town of Majitha, some 25 kilometres northeast of Amritsar. Mohammad Rafi (born Kotla Sultan Singh December 24, 1924 – died Bombay July 31, 1980) belonged to that small village.
