History of Sikhs

[Mian Babban]

The earliest reference to a Sikh Guru is in the Akbarnama of Abu Fazal where he is referred to as a Brahman. Akbar met Guru Arjun in 1598

Guru Arjun was executed by Emperor Jehangir as mentioned in his dairy Tuzk-i-Jehangiri. he also refers to Arjun as Hindu

Dabistan-i-Mazahib is 17th century work on various sects and religions. It reveals the fact that Guru Nanak was a a Bedi, a sub-caste of Khatris, and that he was in the service of Daulat Khan Lodi as a keeper of grain stores .

Interesting. Why would a Pakistani post references that refer Sikh gurus as Hindus? You are supposed to create fake Khalistan propaganda.
@mods please close this thread before you get reprimanded by ISPR officer.

Bhimsen in his Tarikh-i-dilkusha mentioning Guru Gobin Singh presenting himself before Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah (son of Aurangzeb) , and he is noticed to be not a dervesh or so religious but a warrior. The source also throwns light on Tegh Bahadur that he was executed by Aurangzeb because he was calling around himself a badshah or king

"There are several accounts of Guru Gobind Singh's death, but the two more usually received agree in stating that it was a death by violence. Of these stories, one is that an Afghan horse-dealer had sold some horses to the Guru. Payment was delayed. One day, the dealer clamoured for his money with angry gestures. Provoked by the man's words, Gobind Singh cut him down. Some time afterwards the Afghan's sons found their opportunity and stabbed the Guru mortally , when asleep or unguarded. This story is also slightly varied. The Guru, in this version, is supposed to have repented of his violence and showed favour to the murdered man's son. On day, when they were alone together, the Guru tainted the youth for his cowardice in not revenging his father. The boy struck him with his dagger, inflicting a slight wound. The wound was sewn up and was healing, when Gobind Singh , in attempting to string his bow , burst the stitches , the bowels again protruded, and he died almost immediately. " ("Later Mughal", William Irvine , p-91)
