Thikriwala is a village in Barnala district in Indian state of Punjab. It is located 5 km away from Barnala. It is among the second largest and oldest villages in Punjab. In Punjabi language thikri[1] means shard, so this village gets its name because people of vast gotra and casts live here. Thikriwala is birthplace of freedom fighter Sardar Sewa Singh Thikriwala, the ancestor of Jagmeet Singh leader of New Democratic Party Canada. Every year on 18, 19 and 20 January a barsi (death anniversary function) is organized in village to commemorate Sardar Sewa Singh.[citation needed]
