Sikhism followers remember the martyrdom of Guru Tegh
Bahadur on November 24. He was beheaded as he refused to be forced to accept Islam as his religion and now stands as an
example of freedom of choosing each one’s religion The events that led to the martyrdom of
Guru Tegh Bahadur started with the ascension to the throne of the Mughal Empire by Emperor Aurangzeb. This Emperor ruled
for 49 years and as he came into power he killed his brothers and
locked in prison his father.
History of Martyrdom Day
THE
In early 1675, the Kashmiri Pandits approached Guru Tegh
Bahadar to seek his assistance in their acute hour of need. These Hindus from Kashmir had been given a deadline by Emperor
Aurangzeb to convert to Islam or be killed. Pandit Kripa Ram with his large delegation met Guru Tegh Bahadar at Chak Nanki,
Kahlur (now known as Anandpur Sahib). He explained their
dilemma to the Guru in the open Sangat at the place where today stands Gurdwara Manji Sahib, in
Anandpur Sahib.
