Great Topic!

see my topic; it has much info

[Nehmat]

Just remembered, I have a book called "Tales of Truth (Sikh Martyrs)" by Bhai Santokh Singh Jagdev.

Here is some more information from it:

The first and the second battles of Anandpur Sahib are already on that site...So I'll skip that part.

Third Battle of Anandpur Sahib:

~Between 1701-1703

The hill-rajas attacked the Singhs with the help of the Governor of Sirhind. After two days of the battle, the Khalsa crossed Sutlej river to break the seige and went to the sate of Basali, where Raja Sahali Chand was. Raja Sahali Chand was Maharaj Ji's devotee. Maharaj Ji and the Singhs spent a few days with him and then left to set up their camps in Anandpur Sahib.

First Battle of Chamkaur:

January 1703

Maharaj Ji was returning from Kurukshetra. He was near Chamkaur, district Ropar, when the hill-rajas tempted two generals into attacking Maharaj Ji. One of the generals was Said Beg, after seeing a handful of Singhs fighting so valiantly, left the so called royal army and joined Maharaj Ji instead. The other general, Alif Khan, lost hope of victory and left for Delhi.

Fourth Battle of Anandpur Sahib:

29th of March, 1704

On the orders of Aurangzeb, Said Khan marched towards Anandpur Sahib from Delhi with his army. Said Khan's sister, Bibi Naseeran, who was married to Pir Budhu Shah, lived in the village of Sidhaura. Sidhaura was on the way to Anandpur Sahib, so he went to meet his sister. Pir Budhu Shah was Maharaj Ji's devotee who was buried alive for helping Maharaj Ji. Bibi Naseeran tried to stop her brother from attacking Maharaj Ji but still he marched towards Anandpur Sahib.

On the 29th of March, Said Khan's forces along with hill-raja's forces attacked Anandpur Sahib. At that ime only five hundred Singhs were at Anandpur Sahib. On seeing the valour of the Singhs and seeing their own 'once upon a time' companions fighting 'for' Maharaj Ji, Said Khan remembered his sister's warning. Maharaji Ji came face to face with him and told him to strike. On hearing this, he became a whole new different man---he gave up the command of the army and became an ascetic.

Ramzan Khan took the command of the so called royal army. Said Beg and Mammu Khan were martyred (they fought for Maharaj Ji after realization). While fighting an army of thousands, five hundred singhs abandoned the fort and went out. The so called royal army looted Anandpur Sahib and left for Sirhind. The Singhs again occupied Anandpur Sahib.

Fifth Battle of Anandpur Sahib:

~1704

Aurangzeb ordered the Governors of Delhi, Sirhind, Lahore, and Kashmir to attack Anandpur Sahib along with their forces. Their force consisted of two hundred thousand men, the hill-rajas, and other bandits. Maharaj Ji deployed five hundred Sikhs at each of the five forts. After fighting for a month, the Governors realized that the Singhs could not be defeated. So they besieged Anandpur Sahib, camping at a safe distance away from the range of the cannon. They thought the Singhs will be exhausted and give up this way. Anyway, after a siege period of five or six months, the Mughal generals did not notice any signs of victory. Rainy season begun and the rains would harass these so called royal forces.

But the generals came up with another plan and sent a letter to Maharaj Ji that they swear upon the Quran that they will not follow the Singhs, if the Singhs leave the forts. And this way, they'll be able to face Aurangzeb and he will not kill them for losing the battle. They were lying. Their oath was false. As they were secretly planning to kill the Singhs. Their planning failed.

Not finding the end of seige in sight, Aurangzeb sent Maharaj Ji another letter saying, "Come to Deccan. Nobody willl even look at you. Please vacate Anandpur Sahib once." After receiving this letter, Maharaj Ji wrote the Zafarnama, a letter of victory, to Aurangzeb in Persian. In it, Maharaj Ji wrote: "Aurangzeb, I have lost belief in your oaths. Your officals are liars."

After getting that letter, Maharaj Ji decided, in consultation with the Sikhs, to leave Anandpur Sahib. On the night of December 20th, 1704, Maharaj Ji left Anandpur Sahib along with one thousand and five hundred Sikhs with him, from the fort.

Second Battle of Chamkaur

21st of December 1704

It was a defeat for the so called royal army because they weren't able to harm Maharaj Ji in anyway. In this war, the two elder Princes attained martyrdom.

It looks like this was my project more than yours. Maharaj Ji does everything for a reason. I re-remembered so much today.

Thank you. You truly are PURE. =)
