In 1932, it was originally introduced. Natasha Tolstoy, **Leo Tolstoy's** granddaughter, translated the work into **Russian**. 'It seems to indicate that red corpuscles have gone in the lifeblood of our culture,' Singh writes in his novel Chitta Lahu (White Blood). Nanak Singh's grandson, Dilraj Singh Suri, transcribed Chitta Lahu into English in 2011. (Under the title White Blood). \
Nanak Singh was a Punjabi **poet, musician, and novelist** who lived in India. The British arrested him because of his literary support for India's independence struggle. He wrote novels that received critical recognition. Nanak Singh was born as 'Hans Raj' to an impoverished Punjabi Hindu family in Pakistan's Jhelum area. After converting to Sikhism, he switched his name to Nanak Singh. Despite his lack of formal schooling, he began writing at a young age by creating rhymes on historical events. Singh thereafter began writing devotional songs to encourage Sikhs to enter the Gurdwara Reform Movement. In 1918, he wrote Satguru Mehma, a **collection of songs** dedicated to the Sikh Gurus. It's widely regarded as his first financially significant literary effort.
