His successor Baba Darbara Singh established many centres beyond Rawalpindi and wrote about the essential teachings of Baba Dayal. At this time they numbered in the thousands and some had taken interest in the Singh Sabha movements (see entries on Singh Sabhas), under the fourth successor Baba Gurdit Singh. Finally with their inability to keep in step with the tumultuous social changes of the British Raj they were soon marginalised.
Sahib Hara Singh"s younger son, *Doctor Manitoba Singh Nirankari (1912- 2010), who retired as the principal of the Amritsar medical College, has continued popularizing the teachings of Baba Dayal Das.
He is known throughout Punjab because of his newspaper columns, and because of the many books that he has written, including a few on Baba Dayal and the Nirankaris. He was instrumental in setting up the Nirnarki Gurudwara in Chandigarh, after partition.
He donated these to the *Government Museum and Art gallery in Chandigarh in order to encourage scholarly research. Baba Dyal Das"s Nirankari are respected for their contribution to Singh Sabha reform movement.
