Guru Teg Bahadur Ji
Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib (1 April 1621 – 11 November 1675) was the youngest of the five sons of Guru Hargobind Sahib, the sixth Sikh Guru, and his wife Nanaki. He became the 9th Guru of Sikhs on 20 March 1665. Aurangzeb wanted to make India an Islamic country. A group of Kashmiri Pandits approached Guru Ji for help. They, on the advice of the Guru, told the Mughal authorities that they would willingly embrace Islam if Tegh Bahadur did the same. Guru Tegh Bahadur was executed for refusing to convert to Islam along with fellow devotees Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Sati Das and Bhai Dayala on 24 November 1675. His 59 Shabads and 57 Salokas are included in the Guru Granth Sahib.
