Lies being taught;-
Sikhs saved Sanatanis. though not one
example is ever given.
Now the truth;-
When Sanatanis saved and protected Sikh
gurus?
There are several instances when
sanatani rajputs saved and protected Sikh Gurus and laid down lives to save
sikh gurus.
Rajputs not only trained the Sikhs in
fighting and made them a warrior community but also protected Guru Hargobind?
It was only with the support of the Rajputs that the Sikhs formed such a fierce
army that humbled the mighty Mughal forces on various occasions.
Moreover, Guru Nanak had also visited
the Hindu pilgrimages of Kolayat and Pushkar, which were under the Rajputs. He
got along well with the Rajputs of Manaswal (Doad). In fact, during his stay at
Kartarpur, only a Rajput family would offer him food.
History has it that while Guru
Hargobind was imprisoned by the Mughals in the Gwalior Fort, he met a number of
Rajput monarchs, and when he was released, he recruited numerous Rajputs into
his army.
Rajput warriors named Rai Sigra and Rai
Jaita were instrumental in teaching Guru Hargobind and his troops how to use
weapons. In the battle of Gurusar, the Rajput army had aided Guru Hargobind. In
fact, when Mughal ruler Jahangir was compelled to release Guru Hargobind from
the Gwalior Fort, he was accompanied by 52 Hindu princes who from that moment
forth always remained loyal to him.
Likewise, Bajar Singh, a descendant of
Rao Mandan Singh Rathore, trained Guru Gobind Singh in the intricacies of
warfare, as well as in unarmed combat, equestrianism, armed combat, musketry,
archery and foot tactics.
One might not be familiar with the name
Alam Singh Chauhan Nachna. He was the son of Bhai Durgu, a Rajput of Sialkot
who had headed Guru Gobind Singh’s army. Guru Gobind Singh regarded him as his
most trusted confidant. He earned the epithet Nachna (dancer) because of his
uncommon agility. On one occasion, when Guru Gobind Singh was suddenly attacked,
Alam Singh Chauhan Nachna showed exceptional valour and rescued him with the
army.
It is believed that Alam Singh Chauhan
Nachna went on to play an extremely vital role in almost all the battles fought
around Anandpur. As Guru Gobind Singh himself testifies in his Bachitra Natak,
when the Khanzada, the son of Dilawar Khan the Subahdar of Lahore, tried to
storm Anandpur at night, it was Alam Singh’s vigilance which alerted the Sikhs
and forced the Khanzada to retire without completing his assault. Alam Singh
sacrificed his life fighting for the Guru’s son Ajit Singh.
Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, one of the most
prominent Sikh gurdwaras, was originally Jaisinghpura Palace, a haveli of the
Jaipur kings. It was originally a bungalow owned by Raja Jai Singh. It was in
1664 that Sawai Raja Jai Singh of Amber (Jaipur) hosted Guru Hari Krishan. The
guru stayed there for about 8-10 months at a time of cholera and chickenpox
epidemics.
Raja Jai Singh, who had also supervised
the construction of nine Sikh shrines in Delhi in the same year, during the
reign of Mughal Emperor, Shah Alam II, later donated the haveli (bungalow),
where Sikh General Sardar Baghel Singh first built a small shrine in 1783.
After Independence, the place saw rapid changes. The small shrine eventually went
on to become the famous Gurudwara Bangla Sahib.
One must also know that famous writer Kushwant Singh in an interview to magazine India Today had stated that RSS and many sanatani saved thousands of sikhs during 1984 anti sikh riots. Killings of Sikhs happened in mostly Muslims dominated areas like Bawana, Sultanpuri, Karol Bagh, Trilokpuri Mangolpuri trans -Yamuna areas where BJP RSS and nil presence as latest as in 2015 what to say of 1984. In areas here sanatanis and RSS were in good number they were able to save many thousand Sikhs. But for sanatanis, the figure would have easily crossed 50000. It is not out of place to mention here that during 2015 Delhi elections AAP supporter alleged farmer rally had won from same areas that saw brunt of anti sikh riots.
