Every year on this day, Sikhs around the world observe Sirhind Fateh Diwas to honor the valor and sacrifice of their ancestors. This significant day commemorates the triumph of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and the Khalsa over the oppressive regime of Wazir Khan, the Governor of Sirhind, who perpetrated atrocities against the Sikh community.
The Martyrdom of Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s Family
In 1704, under the orders of Wazir Khan, the Governor of Sirhind, Baba Zorawar Singh Ji, Baba Fateh Singh Ji, and Mata Gujri Ji, the family of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, were subjected to unspeakable cruelty. Captured and confined in a cold cell, the young Sahibzaade were bricked alive, and Mata Gujri Ji, upon hearing of this barbaric act, breathed her last. Their martyrdom symbolizes the unwavering faith and resilience of the Sikh community in the face of adversity.
The Rise of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur
In 1710, Baba Banda Singh Bahadur, fueled by the blessings of Guru Ji and the righteous indignation of the Khalsa, led a formidable force to challenge the tyranny of Wazir Khan and the oppressive regime of Sirhind. Determined to seek justice for the atrocities committed against Sikhs and the family of Guru Ji, Baba Banda Singh Bahadur launched a decisive campaign against the forces of oppression.
The Conquest of Sirhind
With unmatched courage and strategic prowess, Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and the Khalsa army besieged Sirhind, culminating in the downfall of Wazir Khan and the liberation of the oppressed. The victory at Sirhind stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Khalsa and their unwavering commitment to justice and righteousness.
Sirhind Fateh Diwas serves as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by the Sikh martyrs and the triumph of righteousness over tyranny. It is a day to honor the legacy of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur and the Khalsa, who fearlessly stood against oppression and injustice, inspiring generations with their valor and resilience. As Sikhs commemorate this historic day, they reaffirm their commitment to the principles of truth, justice, and equality espoused by their faith.
