Biographies - Sikh Warriors  


Sikh history has been enriched by enormous martyrdoms of Sikh fighters and Sikh Saints. Sikh gurus themselves lead the Sikhs with glorious examples of martyrdom. First Guru to be martyred by Mughals was Guru Arjan Dev ji, the fifth Guru. Guru Arjan Dev ji who had compiled Guru Granth Sahib (called it Adi Granth then) by collecting hymns of all the Sikh Gurus before him. It is probably only in Sikhism that its founders and its teachers were not only great fighers and saints but also great writers and poets. Hymns written by Guru Nanak dev ji, Guru Angad Dev ji, Guru Ramdas ji, Guru Arjan Dev ji, Guru Tegh Bahadur ji, Guru Gobind Singh ji easily surpass the criteria of current noble prize for literature, then their examples of supreme sacrifices after achieving so much fame, etc is incredible. But then only Gurus are perfect, we Sikhs (sikh means disciple) surpass either in literature, or as fighters, sportsmen, or as martyrs, but not always in everything as with Gurus. As you know in this section you are only reading about "Great Sikh Warriors", about Sikhs who fought to survive for their freedom of religion. There are many Sikhs who have achieved much in other fields but that was only possible once Great Sikh Warriors stopped the religious persecution. Just imagine what Punjab would you have been living in today if not for Great Sikh Warriors?.

Baba Dip Singh ji Shaheed martyrdom in 1757 at Amritsar was not the last one, in fact it inspired thousands more. In 1757, Baba Dip Singh ji took a vow to celebrate festival of Diwali at Amritsar which was in control of Afghani Durrani (abdali) forces and started his march along with about 500 or so disciples and fulfilled his vow by breathing last at Parikarma periphery of Golden Temple. His martyrdom inspired countless others, one of them was Bhai Gurbax Singh.

Gurbaksh Singh (1688-1764), also known as Gurbaksh Singh Nihang or Shahid, hailed from the village of Lil, in Amritsar District. According to an old manuscript which was preserved in the Sikh reference library, Amritsar, until it perished in the Government of India's Army action in 1984, and which is quoted by Singh Sahib Giani Kirpal Singh, he was born on Baisakh Vadi 5, 1745 Bk i.e. 10th April 1688 (father Dasaundha Singh, Mother Mai Lachchami). In 1698, the family shifted to Anandpur where Gurbakshash Singh took pahul of the Khalsa on the historic Baisakhi day of 1699. He completed his religious education under Bhai Mani Singh. He later joined the Shahid Misl under Baba Dip singh and after the latter's martyrdom in 1757 at Amritsar, organized his own Jatha or fighting band. In battles against Durranis (Afghanis) and Mughals his dera usually formed the vanguard carrying the banner, and won renown of its acts of gallantry.

In November 1764, Ahmad Shah Abdali at the head of 30,000 afghanis invaded India for 7th time, Bhai Gurbaksh Singh happened to be stationed at holy Shrine at Amritsar. The Durrani (abdali) advanced up to the town virtually unopposed and entered the partially reconstructed Harimandir, which he had demolished two years earlier. Bhai Gurbaksh Singh who had already evacuated from the precints women, children, and the aged, had with him only thirty men. According to Ratan Singh Bhangu, prachin Panth Prakash "Bhai Gurbaksh Singh with garlands around his neck and sword on his shoulder, dressed himself as a bridegroom, his men forming the marriage party, waiting eagerly to court the bride-death." As soon as they saw the Afghan king and his hordes, they swooped down upon them.

This was an unequal fight - thirty pitted against thirty thousand. All thirty Sikhs were killed before Gurbaksh Singh, though throughout in the forefront, also fell. Giving an eyewitness account of the action, Qazi Nur Muhammad, the chronicler who was in the train of the invader, writes in his jangnamah when the king and his army reached the chakk(Amritsar), they did not see any infidel kafir there. But a few men stayed in a fortress were bent upon spilling their blood and they sacrificed themselves for their Guru They were only thirty in number. They did not have the least fear of death. They engaged the Ghazis (i.e. in Islamic terminology, a Ghazi is a muslim person who had killed an Infidel or a kafir) and spilled their blood in the process. Thus all of them were slaughtered and consigned to the seventh [hell].

This happened on 1 December 1764. Bhai Gurbaksh singh was cremated behind Takht Akal bunga, later a tomb was built on the site which is now known as Shahid Ganj.

Sikhs Campaign for Right to Carry a Sword

Campaign started by the Sikhs to assert their right to keep and carry Kirpan, i.e. sword, religiously obligatory for them, which was denied to them under the Indian Arms Act (XI) of 1878. Under this Act, no person could go armed or carry arms, except under special exemption or by virtue of a licence. Whatever could be used as an instrument of attack or defence fell under the term Arms. Thus the term included firearms, bayonets, swords, daggerheads and bows and arrows. Under the Act, a kirpan could be bracketed with a sword.

Early in the 20th century various Sikh religious bodies, particularly the Chief Khalsa Diwan, made representations to the government demanding freedom for the Sikhs to keep kirpan as enjoined by their religion. At the time of World War I, the British government, fearing that the ban on the keeping of kirpan would affect the recruitment of Sikhs to the Indian army, thought it advisable to relax the enforcement of the provision. Thus between 1914 and 1918 by separate notifications issued by the Home government, the Sikhs were given the freedom of possessing or carrying a kirpan all over British India. However, the terms of these notifications were vague; the size and shape of the kirpan having remained undefined; prosecution of Sikhs for wearing, carrying and manufacturing the kirpan continued.

During the Gurdwara Reform movement (1920-25) the kirpan question became a major political issue. As the agitation started by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee and Shiromani Akali Dal gained momentum, the British Indian government shelved the two notifications. Sikhs possessing kirpan began to be prosecuted and imprisoned, and many of the Sikh soldiers in the armed forces were court-martialled for keeping kirpan and dismissed from service.

The Akali Dal's Kirpan agitation remained in full swing during the years 1921-22 when black turbans and kirpans became the symbols of the Sikh defiance. The Punjab government resorted to several measures: any Sikh carrying a kirpan could be arrested without warrant. As an act of defiance, the Akalis began carrying full-sized kirpans. Thousands of Sikhs were sent to jail for contravening the Indian Arms Act. The kirpan factories at Bhera and Sialkot were raided in 1921, all kirpans exceeding 9 inches in length were seized, and the owners of the factories put under arrest. Excesses were committed by police upon non-violent kirpan-carrying Sikhs who bore these with stoic resignation and unfaltering faith; by he Sikh religious organizations they were honoured with the title of Kirpan Bahadur, Hero of the Kirpan. A weekly newspaper, the Kirpan Bahadur, edited by Seva Singh, was launched in 1922 from Amritsar to support the agitation.

In 1922, the Punjab Governor opened negotiations with the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. A compromise was arrived at according to which an announcement was made on behalf of the Punjab government that the Sikhs would not be prosecuted for wearing, keeping and carrying the kirpan. In March 1922, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee issued instructions to the Sikhs that they must carry kirpan which was one of their religious emblems but it may be unsheathed and drawn out only for prayers (ardas), initiatory ceremonies (amrit prachar), and by the Five Beloved (Panj Piare) leading a religious march. As a sacred symbol of the faith, it should not be unsheathed and brandished except on these occasions. In this manner ended the Kirpan Morcha, a confrontation between the Sikhs and the British Indian government for the restoration to the Sikhs of their right to keep and carry kirpan.
