Guru Gobind Singh the 10th GURU

Maanas ki jaat sabhai ekai pehchaanbo is the Guru Gobind Singh's message.

Which emphatically states

"Men may call themselves Hindus, Muslims, Emams,Shaffies etc., but I see them all belonging to one race—Mankind."

Salute to great Sikh Warrior Sardar Banda Singh Bahadur who gave all but not his beliefs

Sunday, 9th June, 1716. Baba Banda Singh Ji Bahadur's cage was placed on top of an elephant, and he was dressed in mock attire of an emperor, with a colorful red pointed turban on his head. His 4 year old son Ajai Singh was placed in his lap. Seven Hundred Forty Sikhs marched behind the elephant and this special procession then passed through the streets of Delhi, and headed for the Kutub-ud-din mausoleum of Bahadur Shah, near the present Kutab Minar. On reaching that graveyard, the captives were again offered a choice of two alternatives: conversion to Islam or death. Needless to say all chose death. The Sikhs were subjected to tortures before being executed. Their heads were then impaled on spears and arranged in a circle round Banda who was now squatting on the ground. There were hundreds of spectators standing around watching this scene. Here they made him paraded around the tomb of late emperor Bahadur Shah and put him to a barbarous death.

"Banda Singh Bahadur Ji was then given a short sword and ordered to kill his own son Ajai Singh. As he sat unperturbed, the executioner moved forward and plunged his sword into the little child cutting the body into two. Then pieces of flesh were cut from the body and thrown in Banda's face. His liver was removed and thrust into Banda Singh's mouth. The father sat through all this without any signs of emotion. His powers of endurance were to be tested still further. But before that, Mohammed Amin Khan, who was standing near spoke as follows: "From your manner so far you appear to be a man of virtue, who believes in God, and in doing good deeds. You are also very intelligent. Can you tell me why you are having to suffer all this here ?"

"Banda's reply was, "When the tyrants oppress their subjects to the limit, then God sends men like me on this earth to mete out punishment to them. But being human, we sometimes overstep the laws of justice, and for that we are made to pay whilst we are still here. God is not being unjust to me in any way."

S.Baghel Singh Ji

On 11 March 1783,when the Dal Khalsa under the leadership of S.Jassa Singh Ahluwalia and other Misl Sardars including S.Baghel Singh entered the Red Fort in Delhi and occupied the Diwan-i-Am and hoisted the Khalsa Flag (Nishan Sahib) at the Red Fort.

The Mughal emperor, Shah Alam II, made a settlement with them agreeing to allow Sardar Baghel Singh to raise gurdwaras on Sikh historical sites in the city and realize six annas in a rupee (37.5%) of all the octroi duties in the capital.

S.Baghel Singh stayed in Sabzi Mandi, with 4000 troops, and took charge of the police station in Chandni Chowk. He located seven sites connected with the lives of the Gurus and had shrines raised thereon within the space of eight months, from April to November 1783. Gurdwara Sis Ganj marked the spot in the main Mughal street of Chandni Chowk where Guru Teg Bahadur had been executed under the fiat of the emperor and Gurudwara Rakab Ganj Sahib near modern day Parliament House, where the body of Guru Teg Bahadur was cremated by the Lakhi Shah Vanjara, a disciple of the Guru, who burnt his house in order to cremate the Guru's body.

Gurudwara Bangla Sahib. And Bala Sahib commemorated the Eighth Guru, Guru Har Krishan Sahib.

Three other gurdwaras built were at Majnu Ka Tilla,Moti Bagh and Telivara.

Shaheed Udham Singh Ji

On 31 July 1940, Udham Singh was hanged in Pentonville Prison in London. Udham Singh was an Indian independence activist, best known for assassinating Michael O'Dwyer in March 1940 in what has been described as an avenging of the Jallianwalla Bagh Massacre.

In 1940, almost 21 years after the Amritsar Massacre of 1919 in Punjab province of India, Udham Singh shot the unsuspecting 76 years old Michael O'Dwyer while he was attending a lecture meet at Caxton Hall in London. O'Dwyer had been Governor of the Punjab in 1919, when Colonel Reginald Edward Harry Dyer ordered British troops to fire on unarmed Indian protesters, who included many Sikhs.

Udham Singh was also known as Ram Mohammed Singh Azad, symbolizing the unification of the three major religions of India: Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism.
