Sahibzada Fateh Singh Ji Jayanti: Today, we commemorate the birth anniversary of Sahibzada Baba Fateh Singh, the youngest son of the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh. While his life was short, it was marked by extraordinary courage, unwavering faith, and a dedication to upholding righteousness.
Born on December 12, 1699, Baba Fateh Singh was only five years old when he, along with his brother Sahibzada Zorawar Singh, were captured by Mughal forces in Sirhind. Despite their young age, the Sahibzades refused to convert to Islam and bravely faced martyrdom. Their act of defiance continues to inspire generations of Sikhs and serve as a powerful testament to the strength of their faith.

The Martyrdom of the Sahibzades
In December 1704, the Mughal forces captured the Sahibzades and their grandmother, Mata Gujri, in the town of Sirhind. The governor of Sirhind, Wazir Khan, offered them a chance to save their lives by converting to Islam. However, the Sahibzades remained steadfast in their faith and refused to compromise their principles.
Following their refusal, the Sahibzades were subjected to unimaginable torture. They were mercilessly beaten and forced to witness the execution of their grandmother. Yet, they remained unwavering in their faith and loyalty to their Guru.
On December 27, 1704, the Sahibzades were bricked alive in a wall. Their martyrdom became a defining moment in Sikh history and served as a powerful symbol of resistance against oppression.
