Dhudike

Location

The village Dhudike lies 3 km from Ajitwal Railway Station on the Ludhiana-Firozpur railway line, and is linked with a Pucka road between Moga and Jagraon, some 16 km from either town. The people here are politically conscious having taken part in the `Gaddar Movement` and Guru-Ka-Bagh Agitation.

Lala Lajpat Rai (1965-1928), the great national leader was born in this village. His birthday, celebrated in the village, attracts a large number of persons. A Lajpat Rai Birth place Memorial Committee was formed in 1956 and it bought a plot of about one acre of land in the village abadi including the house where he was born. A memorial has been erected here in the memory of the great freedom fighter.
