Heritage of Martyrdom - 9
The psyche of defeat and surrender had to be superseded, the lassitude behaviour of reconcile to their fallen state had to be resuscitated in people. The creation of the Khalsa was the divine inspired vision for the upliftment of fallen people of Hindustan. A new impulse of chivalry arose in northern India that resulted in endless chains of shining deeds of sacrifice and gallantry. The freedom from bondage of slavery, inhuman system of caste discrimination, inequality in society and gender had infused the new impulse by the baptism of his 'Amrit'. The hostile reaction to his new impulse was not only from the Moguls but surprisingly from the Hindu hill chieftains of Himachal who saw an adversary in him because of his principles of equality, superstition free society will hamper their sway over people and they couldn't follow the democratic rights because the revenue paying simple folks will become brave and demanding. They joined hands with Moguls and a fierce battle was fought in Anandpur Sahib. The united forces of Sirhind, Lahore and Hindu chieftains from Hills fought with just few hundred Sikhs. Guruji's two sons sacrificed themselves and the other two were captured along with their grandmother but didn't fear the death by getting bricked in a wall. The loss of his family, his favourite Sikhs and his dwellings didn't deter him because he still had greater task to fulfil. He wrote a letter recorded in History as Zafarnama or epistle of victory to the Emperor and reprimanded him for betrayal by his forces and reminded him of devout duty of being a good Muslim and that he had left the path of a good ruler and forgotten his duties to his people. The seven hundred years of blood bath of innocent people, reprisal, vengeance, intolerance and pride in killing people couldn't be the teachings of a good religion like Islam. The wrong interpretation by the rulers who just wanted to rule and live life of luxury and their unjust cravings to free the world from infidels has created the feelings of hatred for them not only in India but all over the world. Even after slaughtering millions of people for centuries they couldn't fulfil their cherished dream of making this world all Islamic. Guru Gobind Singh's sacrifice of whole family will remain irrevocable in the history of mankind. He turned the tide against the Islam in India and made this country a gift of Khalsa a symbol of pride, bravery, gallantry.
