Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Baba Haqiqat Singh Jee

Haqiqat Singh was born in 1724 to Mata Durgi who was the daughter of parents who believed in Sikhism. I think that her brothers were Singhs.

Haqiqat Singh belonged to a wealthy family and he grew up learning Gurmat and Sikh history from his mother. He heard about the Sahibzadas of Guru Gobind Singh and was especially impressed by Baba Zoravar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh. He thought about them all the time.

In those days persian was very prevalent in Punjab and mostly persian was taught by Maulvis (Moslem priests) in masjids (Moslem place of worship). Haqiqat Singh started learning persian in the village masjid and he was the only non-Moslem student there. Haqiqat Singh was extraordinarily bright boy and therefore many Moslem boys were jealous of him.

In 1735 when he was only 10-11 years old, Haqiqat Singh got into argument with the Moslem students of the school. The Moslem boys teased him by calling bad names to Durga Mata (Goddess of Hindus). Hearing this Haqiqat Singh called Bibi Fatima (daughter of Mohammad Sahib, the prophet of Moslems) bad names. At this he was severely beaten by the Moslem boys.

Fearing that Haqiqat Singh would tell the Maulvi and have them punished the Moslem boys went straight to the Maulvi and exaggerated the argument with Haqiqat Singh and told him that Haqiqat Singh had said very derogatory things about Islam. Hearing this Maulvi could not control his anger and he along with a group of other Moslems marched towards 11 years old Haqiqat Singh to teach him a lesson.

On the other side when Haqiqat Singh reached home all swollen his mother got very upset when she found out that she was beaten by Moslem boys so badly. She told him that she will talk to the maulvi personally about this.

By that time Maulvi reached their home with a lot of other people and he grabbed Haqiqat Singh by his hair and started beating him mercilessly. They beat him so badly that he got unconscious. Their anger did not extinguish at this. They carried him to the Faujdaar (governor) of Sialkot (now in Pakistan).

Haqiqat Singh was brought before the Faujdar and questioned. Haqiqat Singh told them the truth but no one believed him. The Faujdar along with the Qazi, ordered him that the only way he can escape death is if he embraced Islam, the religion he allegedly condemned so much.

At that point Haqiqat Singh remembered Baba Zoravar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh. He politely but forcefully declined their demand. He said that he will never convert to Islam. This made the Qazi and other Moslems there mad. The Qazi ordered that he be tied by the tree upside down and beaten with hunters (a kind of cane made out of leather). Where ever the hunter fell it ripped the skin from the body. Haqiqat Singh did not bow.

Finally when Haqiqat Singh remained unyielding he was sent to Zakariya Khan at Lahore. Haqiqat Singh's father pleaded for mercy and even offered money equal to the weight of his son but the tyrants did not listen to him.

Before he was deported to Lahore from Sialkot, Dhan Mata Durgi the mother of Haqiqat Singh told him that she would rather be mother of a shaheed than being mother of a loser who gave up his religion because of fear of death. It was a very emotional departure and many people present there had tears in their eyes.

Haqiqat Singh was brought before the subedar of Lahore, Zakariya Khan and he remain defiant there also. People were amazed at this 11 years old young boy who wouldn't give up his Dharam despite all the torture and threats. Haqiqat Singh came to this stage that he did not care any more. He just wanted to be with his heros Baba Zoravar Singh and Baba Fateh Singh.

Finally when all the measures to convert him failed his head was severed from his body at the order of Zakariya Khan in January of 1735. Haqiqat Singh happily embraced death but did not give up his religion.

I urge our youth to look up to these kids who did not give up their Dharam even in the most difficult times. But what has happened to us ? Why are we giving up Gurmat when we don't have any threat or danger to our lives ?

When the Khalsa forces of those times found out about Haqiqat Singh's shaheedi, everyone was upset. Nawab Kapur Singh and others vowed to avenge the death of Haqiqat Singh which they did.

Dhan Baba Haqiqat Singh jee and his mother Mata Durgi jee.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

A different sakhi of a Singh confused with Bhai Haqiqat Singh Ji

The people of Punjab, both Hindus and Muslims, rose against the terrorist rule of the Nawab (Governor) of Sirhind. The Nawab was killed in 1710, i.e., just half a decade after he murdered the two innocent sons of Guru Gobind Singh. This brought a rule of peace and justice in the area of Punjab, east of Amritsar.

To again take over the control of Punjab from Banda, a strong army was sent from Delhi. The army generals feared to fight a battle with Banda, hence they tricked him with the pretension of having a dialogue with him for peace. They unarmed him and arrested him. His 700 men were also made prisoners along with a teenage boy, Hakikat Singh. All of them were taken to Delhi and asked to surrender to the Emperor. They refused bluntly. The government ordered the murder of everyone. About 100 Sikhs were murdered every day near Chandni Chauk, Delhi.

The mother of Hakikat Singh, whose only support and hope of life was her son, submitted a petition to the government to save the life of the boy. She narrated that her son was not a Sikh but was there in the Sikh camp when he was arrested. The Emperor ordered the release of the boy if the boy himself denied being a Sikh. The mother dashed with the release orders to the place where the Sikhs were being murdered. Her son was still waiting for his turn to be killed. Presenting the Farman - the order of the emperor - to the Kazi (Judge) supervising the murdering of the Sikhs, she requested the release of her son.

The Kazi called Hakikat Singh and asked him if he was a Sikh. The boy replied that he certainly was a Sikh. His mother intervened and told the Kazi that the boy was her son and she knew that he was not a Sikh. The boy emphasized that he was a committed Sikh. The son and the mother started arguing with each other. Khafi Khan, a Muslim historian, an eye witness who recorded these horrifying killings, was very surprised to hear those arguments.

The mother again asserted that her son was not a Sikh. However, the boy raising his voice retorted immediately that his mother was telling a lie in order to save his life. His father was dead, and he was the only support for her. Being a Sikh, he wanted to be murdered without further delay so that he may not be left behind by his Sikh associates already murdered. Before another word could be said by his mother, the boy was standing with his head bent before the butcher. The sword in the hand of the butcher lowered and Hakikat Singh attained his martyrdom.

Such blood curdling events of Sikh history made Sikhs stronger and even more fearless of the oppression let loose against them. Even today Sikhs don't hesitate to die for justice and human rights.

Even under a threat to their life, Sikhs do not tell a lie. They love to live as Sikhs or, they would prefer to die.
