A Tribute to two Sikh teen idols
On this day of 23 December two teenage sons of
Guru Gobind Singh ji became martyrs in a battle at Chamkaur. This battle of
Chamkaur has no parallel in the military history of the world. On one side
there were handful of Sikhs enclosed in a Fortress made of mud and on the other
side there was an army of 1000000 (ten lakhs) Mogul and Hindu Kingdoms of Himalayan
mountains. Just imagine the fear of Moguls and Hindu Kings that they came for
battles together to fight a handful of Sikhs. This shows the fear of the enemy
that they will face a small army of invincible Sikhs so they brought huge
force. Two teenage sons known as Baba Ajit Singh and Baba Jujhar Singh have
become Sikh idols by becoming martyrs fighting in this battle. They are idols because
they are epitome of bravery, courage, convictions for righteousness and knights
in the real sense of the word. Their enthusiasm to fight for the human values
as per the dictates of the Almighty at the tender age of nineteen and fourteen
makes them outstanding in the history. No doubt that they were given proper
training in warfare and weaponry and how to value for human rights and
righteousness still the execution of all the training and convictions becomes
exemplary seeing their tender age. Encouragement from Guru Father by not
discriminating between two sons and other Singhs whom he addressed as his sons
too was that impulse that made them fight like invincible Knights and inflict
heavy losses of life in the enemy’s arena.
