HISTORY OF SHRI GURU GOBIND SINGH JI AND THE EXODUS OF KASHMIRI PANDIT: Guru Tejh Bahadur Ji and the 3 unsung heroes'

Born on 22 December 1666 in Patna Guru Gobind Singh Ji childhood name was Gobind Rai. His father, the ninth Guru, Shri Tegh Bahadur, had returned to Punjab after some time. The house in Patna where he was born and spend his 4 years, is now situated at 'Takhat Shri Harimander Ji Patna Sahib'. In 1670, his family moved to Punjab. In March 1672, his family moved to a place called Chak Nanaki (Anandpur Sahib), located in the (Shivalik Hills of the Himalayas). Guru Govind Singh Ji used to share spiritual joy in Anandpur Sahib regularly, giving the message of morality, fearlessness and spiritual awakening in human beings. On 1675, his father Guru Tegh Bahadur ji came forward with a complaint against forcible conversion of Kashmiri Pandits to Muslims. He was arrested in Ropar and later on shifted to Delhi. He was asked to convert to Islam, which he straight away refused. Three of his devotees: Bhai Sati Das, Bhai Mati Das and Bhai Dayala were butchered in front of him. He continued his refusal to convert to Islam and hence was beheaded the next day at Chandini Chowk. Gurudwara Shish Ganj Sahab was built in his memory. After this, on the day of Vaishakhi, on 29 March 1676, Gobind Singh was declared the tenth Guru of the Sikhs. Guru Gobind Singh Ji had four sons Ajit Singh,  Jujhar singh, Zorawar singh and Fateh singh.
