December Month Shaheedi Dates – Year 1705
PLEASE NOTE:
Principal Satbir Singh’s History Books State all of the above history incidents took place during December 1704
During the cold month of Poh (December) Under the pressure of a prolonged siege with food and ammunition exhausted, Guru Gobind Singh and Sikhs left Sri Anandpur Sahib on the bitter cold and rainy night of December 20, 1705. The Mughals and Ajmer Chand’s league of Rajput Hill Chieftains had offered Guru Sahib a safe passage to leave Anandpur Sahib on an oath sworn on the Quran, an oath that had been signed by emperor Aurangzeb, as well as, an oath swore on the cow (which Hindus consider sacred) by the Rajput Chieftains. However, their respective ‘Holy’ oaths proved to be meaningless as they lost little time betraying their promises to Guru Sahib, almost as soon as the Sikhs had left the safety of their impregnable fortress.
They had sworn on the Quran and the cow, but still betrayed.
The history of the Shaheedi (martyrdom) of the Four Sahibzadas and the siege of Anandpur Sahib is a significant chapter in Sikh history. Here’s a brief overview:
Shaheedi of the Four Sahibzadas
The Four Sahibzadas are the sons of Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru. Their names are Sahibzada Ajit Singh, Sahibzada Jujhar Singh, Sahibzada Zorawar Singh, and Sahibzada Fateh Singh. They were martyred at a young age due to their unwavering faith and bravery.
1.Sahibzada Ajit Singh (1687-1705) and Sahibzada Jujhar Singh (1691-1705):
Both were martyred in the Battle of Chamkaur on December 7, 1705. They fought valiantly against the Mughal forces and the hill Rajas (local kings) who had besieged the fort at Chamkaur.
2. Sahibzada Zorawar Singh (1696-1705) and Sahibzada Fateh Singh (1699-1705):
These younger sons were captured and executed by being bricked alive on December 26, 1705, in Sirhind. Their grandmother, Mata Gujri, also passed away on the same day.
