2. The Sikhs addressed Guru Sahib as
"Sache Patshah” - the True Lord which
Aurangzeb couldn't tolerate
Other main reasons that led to attacks
at Anandpur were:
Guru Sahib created the Khalsa Panth
and that didn't settle well with the
enemy
Guru Sahib treated everyone equally-
regardless of rank in society or caste
The last and fiercest battle of Anandpur
Sahib was fought in 1704, which
continued for 9 months
Leaving Anandpur Sahib
3. Two emissaries - a Maulvi and a
Brahmin, who swore by the Koran and the
Geeta that if Guru Sahib agreed to leave
the fort, the Sikhs would be allowed to go
unharmed
Guru ji new it was trick and sent a few
carts, loaded with rags and animal waste,
and had the materials covered with silk and
velvet cloth.
As soon as the cartloads had left the fort,
the Mughal soldiers
attacked it, despite their promises.
After a few days, the Mughals apologized
and sent to Guru Sahib
a copy of their holy book, the Koran
(kurwn) signed by Aurangzeb, along with
his letter, promising a safe exit
Leaving Anandpur Sahib

compared to the Mughal army of one
million
The historic battle of Chamkaur took

the battlefield. Guru Ji gave him his blessings and sent a batch of five Sikh
warriors with him

sacrifice on the battlefield, Sahibzada
Jujhar Singh Ji, just 14 years of age, came
forward and asked his father to let him
follow in the footsteps of his brother.
Guru Sahib blessed him too and sent five
Sikhs with him.

daughters; therefore, he had no
hesitation in letting the elder Sahibzadey
fight along with other Singhs, while fully
aware that they would be martyred.
