This is a very personal post here. The love, admiration and reverence to the Sikh gurus have long been entrenched in the hearts and minds of Kashmiris. This is also true among our own community as well. It is to him that we owe our life, culture, heritage...at least to a very large part.
“ Guru ladho re, Guru ladho re
(I have found the Guru, I have found the Guru). ”
In 1675 AD he was arrested by the Mughals in Bihar and executed publicly in Delhi.
Ghulam Muhiuddin Bute Shah writes, in his Tarikh-e-Punjabi, that Guru Tegh Bahadur was called to Delhi by Ram Rai, and it was he who instigated Aurangzeb to punish the Guru, by feeding the Mughal Emperor with false information regarding his haughty character, and that he deserved to be taught a lesson. Other accounts don't implicate Ram Rai, but some other nobles of the court. Another version says that the Guru was punished for raising his voice against the persecution of Kashmiri Hindus by its Muslim governor, or because of the fact that the guru had converted many Muslims to his faith.
The Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb cherished the ambition of converting India into an Islamic country. Mughal governor of Kashmir, Iftekhar Khan was known to vigorously pursue Aurangzeb's policy of forced conversion of Hindus, who approached Guru Tegh Bahadur for help, for his sacrifices Guru Tegh Bahadur is known as Hind-Di-Chaadar (Shield of India) for protecting Hindus against atrocities of Muslim rule.
He was arrested, along with some of his followers, Bhai Dayala, Bhai Mati Das and Bhai Sati Das by Nur Muhammad Khan of the Rupnagar police post at the village Malikhpur Rangharan, in Ghanaula Parganah, and sent to Sirhind the following day. The Faujdar (Governor) of Sirhind, Dilawar Khan, ordered him to be detained in Bassi Pathana and reported the news to Delhi. His arrest was made in July 1675 and he was kept in custody for over three months. He was then put in an iron cage and taken to Delhi in November 1675.
The Guru was put in chains and ordered to be tortured until he would accept Islam. Guru Tegh Bahadur was beheaded at Chandni Chowk on 11 November 1675.
From the non Muslims of Kashmir who have survived to this day - Thank you.
