- This is truly a glorious incident of martyrdom for the sake of Hinduism that has to be honourably listed amongst others in the annals of Hindu nation. It is a true historical fact but is to be found only described in the poetical form.
- Kumar Haqiqatrai—At this very time, a Hindu lad, by name Kumar Haqiqatrai, happened to draw a picture of the Hindu Goddess of Learning, Saraswati, on his slate for worshipping it. But for this very atrocious deed! the Muslim officers there sentenced him to be converted to Islam. On his refusal to do so, he was threatened with a horrible death. When he defied that threat too, he was killed forthwith. The Hindus of the Punjab even today celebrate his memory every year as a religious and austicious occasion.
- The End of Guru Govind Singh—After the horrible death of his two sons, Guru Govind Singh sent from his exile a conciliatory letter to Aurangzeb as a strategic move in politics. The Emperor, too, sent a reply and after a certain mutual agreement, Guru Govind Singh was allowed to leave the Punjab. Guru Govind Singh thereafter came wandering to Maharashtra and settled at Nanded. Here it was that two Pathan disciples of his conspired and attacked him while he was soundly sleeping. The wounds that he received in that struggle proved fatal and soon he died.
- Guru Govind Singh had passed his boyhood days, not in Punjab but in Patna in Bihar, for reasons of safety. As such, he grew fond of the Bihari Hindi language, in which, later on, he became well-versed. His autobiography, ‘Vichitra Natak’, is written in the Bihari Hindi, not in the ‘Gurumukhi’ Punjabi. He also composed a heroic poem on the Goddess, ‘Chandika’. He symbolised the sword as Goddess ‘Chandika’ herself and has writen a hymnal song on it. We have already cited some of its warlike passages in our other books under the caption ‘Jay Tegam’ (Jay Khadgam). As the writings of this tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Govind Singh, are in Hindi, and the duties he had enjoined on the Khalsa sect were not so very palatable to the traditional devotees of Guru Nanak, they did not find a place in the ‘Adigranth’, whereas the sayings of all the former nine Gurus were included in it. So the writings of Guru Govind Singh were collected in the so-called ‘Dasham Granth’ (दशम ग्रंथ), the tenth book.
- Another fact that is important from the point of view of the Hindus must be mentioned here. Because of the creation of the Khalsa sect, there have been two divisions amongst the Sikhs: Sahajdhari and Keshdhari. The
