moment. Merry Christmas to all; but these 3 days 242526 days of December 2009

are being observed as a day for remembering some tragic events also. On these

days111213 paus of 1705AD, two younger sons,of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Sahibzada

Baba Zorawar Singh Ji aged about 6, Sahibzada Baba Fateh Singh Ji aged about 9

and their grandmother,Mata Gujari Ji sacrificed their lives on the alter of

faith. At least we must acknowledge and remember these great deeds. Nawab Sher

Muhammad Khan of Malerkotla was afeudal ally of Nawab Wazir Khan, his brother

Khizar Khan was killed in a battle with Guru Gobind Singh ji; Nawab Wazir

Khan’s forces captured Sahibzadas alongwith their grandmother Mata Gujari. It

was proposed that Nawab Nawab Sher Muhammad Khan should avenge the death of his

brother by taking lives of Guruji’s sons. But Nawab Sher Muhammad Khan Khan

protested loudly at this decision as it was against the te

> nets of Islam and walked out of the court. “BADLA HI LENA HOGA TO HUM LENGE

BAAP SE, KHUDA MARHOOM RAKHE HUMN KO AAISEY PAAP SE†but the adamant Wazir

Khan approved the punishment suggested by Qazi without any amendment. The

Sahibzadas were slain after the attempt at bricking them alive in the foundation

of the wall failed Mata Gujri ji also breathed her last. Diwan Todar Mal

purchased the piece of land for setting up their pyre for cremation with gold

coins. The land required for the martyred children would be approximately of

2.0m by 2.0m a total area of 40,000 cm squared if laid next to each other. Add

to this the area required for Mata Ji (2.0m by 1.5m) if the coins were laid

horizontally then to cover this area would require around 7800 gold coins. Now,

if the coins had to be stacked vertically then possibly 10 coins would be needed

to cover the 9cm squared area, so vertically 7800 x 10 coins would be required,

or 78,000. That is an awful lot of gold coins today; on

safe to say it was probably his life’s savings. Maybe he had to beg and borrow

to raise the total amount, who knows, but the fact remains this was truly a

noble deed. (Kindly see the recent picture of his haveli named Jahaz Haveli

attached alongwith this post.)But for this he had lose the peace and prosperity

for his own family. Bankrupt and a victim of Nawab Wazir Khan’s wrath the

family fled their beautiful home and eventually faded into oblivion. Baba Moti

Ram Mehra was a cook of Wazir Khan. He could not bear the Sahibzadas sleeping

hungry. He came home and told his family that he would serve milk and fresh

water to these great prisoners. His mother and wife were scared and tried to

persuade him not to take such a step. Bibi Bholi, his wife, told him that the

Wazir Khan had made an announcement in the town that whoever tried to help and

serve any type of food to the sons of the tenth Guru, he a

This information could not change the resolve of Baba ji. Sensing his

determination, his wife gave him her silver jewellery and some coins and

requested him to bribe the gate man of the prison fortand request him to keep it

act a secret.Baba Moti Ram served milk and water to the Sahibzadas and Mata

Gujri Ji for three nights.Nawab Wazir Khan got the informationthat his servant

(Cook) had served the prisoners with milk and water. Baba Moti Ram Mehra, his

mother, wife and a little son were arrested, consequently Baba Moti Ram Mehra

along with his father was sentenced to death by being squeezed in a Kohlu (oil

press).Kindly see their resolve; their determination and their

sacrifice.“ULLFAT KE YEH JALWE , KABHIE DEKHE NAHIN HUMNE;DEKHNA EK BAAT,
