The Mughal's conflict with the Sikhs:
The Sikhs under Guru Nanak had started out as hard workers who wanted a fight with no one, but the cruel deaths of three of their Gurus had lead to the formation of a knightly order of Saint Soldiers who fought offensive battles for the right of all Indians to live in safety and practice their religions freely.
The last Guru, Guru Gobind Singh lost his father, mother and his four sons during his many battles against the foreign tyrannical rulers. Thousands of brave men and women had died in these battles but never had they attacked first and only engages in battle when they were threatened first.
Only when the Guru knew that it was his time to return to his heavenly abode did he name his most recent brave Sikh, Banda Singh Bahadur, the son of a Rajput plowman, turned Bairagi, turned devoted Sikh into the Commander of the Khalsa. Adding Bahadur to Banda Singh's name he appointed him Jathedar and charged him with raising a Khalsa Army and driving the foreign rulers from the Punjab and India.
Harson writes in his book,"Some Passages in the Life of an Adventurer in Punjab", at page 107 that a Muslim gave the following account:
"Those were the days when the chivalous babar rode through the land, he was not of our race,
but he was a true badshah, then there were Shah jahan and Aurangjeb, patterns of monarchs,
they permitted no idolatorous dogs to pollute this land. An mohamad; my country men the
gallent and brave child of the brides of the cities 'Gazni' the impregnable, the maiden fortress.
You have doubtless heard by muhamad my lord? How he routed the idolators , the unbelievers of the
land. He planted the crescent throughout the bounds of five rivers."
Such were the views of nearly all of the fanatic muslims of Baba Banda Singh's time.
