2. STORY OF THE BATTLE
Towards the end of the second battle of Anandpur, the Guru, his family and followers
accepted an offer by Aurangzeb of safe passage out of Anandpur. However, as they left
Anandpur in two batches, they were attacked. Aurangzeb broked his promise.
On December 22, 1704, at a place called Sirsa River, Chamkaur, a historic battle was
fought between the Sikhs and the Mughals. So, when Guru Gobind Singh left Anandpur
Sahib on the night of December 5 and 6, 1704, they crossed the Sarsa river and
stopped in Chamkaur.
They asked permission of the city chief for shelter to rest for the night in their garhi or
haveli. There was a fortified mansion that was strategically built on a high mound and
was surrounded by open plains. They preferred not to go ahead. Everyone knew that
death was certain, but the Khalsa principle says not to give up until you die.
Despite giving assurance of safe conduct as Aurenzeb broked the promise, the
Mughals soldiers were looking for Guru Gobind Singh, to take his head as a trophy.
When Aurangzeb knew that Guru Gobind Singh is taking shelter in this haveli, they
came in large number to kill him, the actual battle had happened outside the haveli.
Guru Gobind Singh Ji led 40 Sikhs to the war against an army of 10 lack Mughals led by
Wazir Khan. Guru Gobind Singh Ji decided to let one Sikh fight with one and a 25 lakh
Mughals (‘sava lakh’).
Guru Gobind Singh Ji applied a strategy, he started sending 5 Sikhs at a time to fight
aganist thousands of mugals. After killing a few hundreds, the five Sikhs died. Then
Gurudeva sent the second batch of five Sikhs to the battlefield. This crew also hit a lot
of enemies. But, everyone knew that such a large army cannot be defeated by 40 Sikh
soldiers. So, Gurudeva was asked to escape from chamkaur along with his sons. But,
Guru Gobind Singh refused to do so. And replied-"what sons are you talking about, you
all are my sons".
Ajit Singh Ji along with five Sikh soldiers asked Gurudeva permission to enter into the
battle, he agreed. Ajit Singh Ji fought just like a lion killing hundreds of mugals, but later
died. The younger brother of the martyr also asked for permission and entered the
battlefield.
Later, only seven Sikhs were left excluding guru Gobind Singh in the haveli. Sikhs came
to the decision to sent Guru Gobind Singh Ji away from the haveli to a safe place. They
knew that sacrificing him will prove to be very harmful to the Path. Saying: ‘Guru Ji da
Khalsa, Guru Ji di Fateh’, Guru Ji left for a safer place because this policy was good for
the Path of Khalsa.
So, Guru Ji left the place safely. Next morning, it was a huge disappointment for mugals
because thousands of Muslims were lying killed against 35 Brave Sikhs. It was a
