Yeah! Manpreet veerji very nice fact you have mentioned about the biased nature of our indian text books.. and you know the consequence of this.. that today’s young sikhs question that how could it happen that 40 men army fought against such large numbers.. coz they think that had it been truth it would have been mentioned in the textbooks.. none of the great battles of guru hargobind sahib ji is also talked about in any text books.. this is a vicious circle.. young and innocent minds do not know that it is the biasing of indian authorities which is hiding the truth from the world.. they fear that if people know the truth .. they will start loving sikhism..

we all have to stand united to do prachar of our wonderful history.. and this prachar is not only thru textbooks, movies etc.. (although they are a very strong channel) but also thru self-practice of guru’s teachings..

if we ourselves are fully absorbed into sikhi with no doubts.. then there can not be better mode of prachar .. than a chalda-firda prachar

Sikhs are the bravest beings on earth. I and my friends thought that 300 was an imitation of the 40 immortals…but we have a history of our own. But who in this world would dare act as Siri Guru Gobind Singh ji to make a movie, its impossible! Guruji was not just someone! No one can imitate him….but our history has to be spread somehow so that people know that 300 was nothing a battle compared to ours

I’m a Sikh and I knew it before but still I opted to read it fully, and was amazed to get you viewpoint of education system (being ruled by those mughals). you have put something that’s not observed by everyone. Great. Done a brilliant job. The point needs to be spread and people need to be made aware. I would also put something in relevancy to this at my blog. Hope I would also be able to do something for the world’s BRAVEST, PUREST, community….

@ Zuber Singh Ji, you are absolutely right..The Khalsa is a Saint Soldier and complete form of a Sikh. Amrit makes a person a saint as well warrior, a person who always does justice even when holding a sword..

Now the scenario is changing..Sikhs are getting respect in more spheres of life and films in Bollywood showing sikhs is apparent of that..

Soon we will see Battle of Saragarhi, 1897 in which Sanjay Dutt will play Hawaldar Isher Singh, the captain of 21 brave sikh martyrs who took on 1000s of French while fighting for Britishers and won it without fear of death.

Even the battle of Mukatsar, forty Sikhs fought against 5000 mughals.apparently, these 40 Sikhs took down 3000 mughals and captured the only pond.making the 2000 mughals die of thirst.this is the power of Amrit and path.Pathh makes a man fearless and uncaring for life. Amrit makes you strong and fills you with such divine strength which makes you win against sava lakh men. Gatka also plays an import role in battles. it helped the Sikhs greatly in many battles including the Afghan-Sikh wars.in all these historic movies,they should show Sikhs fighting with Gatka.

Thanks Veer Ji for such a nice post, you are right when you say there is hardly any mention of the Sikh Gurus in our History books.

@ 40 Immortals..I think you have good historical background..But one thing what you said that Sikhs wanted to be the greatest army is not right..We Sikhs took to sword that time because innocent people were killed..Guru Gobind Singh Himself said: "CHUNKAR AZ HAMA HEELTE DARGUZASHST, HALAL AST BURDAN SHAMHER DAST."(When all peaceful means of settlement are exhausted, IT IS JUSTIFIED TO TAKE UP THE SWORD (against tyranny for justice).

It was the Aurangzeb who was doing so many evil things and it was only the mighty and truthful sword of Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj which could crush that tyranny and save India.

Kavi Santokh Singh Ji said: ‘paap hu parpak jaatai, dharma dhasak jaatai, varan garak jatai sahit bidhan ki, devi dev dehre Santokh Singh door hote katha mit jaatee reet bedan puran ki, Shri Guru Gobind Singh Pavan param shoor moorat na hoti jaupai kaurana-nidhaan ki’. (meaning: But for the infinitely kind intervention of Dhan Guru Gobind Singh, the bravest and the purest of warriors, Islam would have engulfed the entire subcontinent to Islam, as they taken over the Buddhist nations like Afghanistan, Indonesia, etc. & forcefully on the point of sword converted them to Islam. Even Indians would have faced the same wrath had not Guru Ji saved them)

My Sikh brother. The army you talk of is Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jis army. They were Akalis, Bhram Gianis, Death less beings. If you want to really find out about them then read the Gurbani of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji king of kings. He was the sole reason Bhadhur Shah became heir to Aurzengabs vast empire. The Akalis under the command of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji brought down any army they ever faced. Did you know that they had nothing to eat ever ? They never sticked in a place, except where the battle of chamkaur took place. But way before that they were traveling constantly, they use to eat leaves…but they never shrunk, never lost their strength. They were really immortal. Some of them fought even when an enemy soldier had cut their head off. Remeber Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji, they were like him. He fought with his head on his palm. He fought until the age of 75. He carried a wopping 160lb double eged sword. He fought 125 000 soldiers and won ALONE. That was his test to be truly an Akalis (Bhram Giani). Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji our great and amazing 10th Guru of sikhism said his sikhs will fight 125 000 soldiers alone. They did. Thats why the number sava lakh (125 000) is so important in the sikh religion. In the battle of chamkaur the mongolians (mugols)…mongol is the correct name for the muslim rulers of india, did you know they surronded the sikh warriors shot arrows at them. In the first day of battle the mongols did not even come close to the sikh wall, they were terrified. The mongol general Nahar Khan, he was very feared by any army that fought him. But it was him who was so terrified of the sikh army. He started to cry, he did not even step out in the battle field. He hid for 3 whole days behind the wall, until he finally retreated with a great majority of his troops. The battle of chamkaur. It took at least 10 000 enemy soldiers for every 1 sikh. Not to mention the Akalis which were use to fighting 125 000 or sava lakh. Sat Sri Akal. What a fine religion and history of bravery and warriors we sikhs have.
