The Birth of the Khalsa Panth
Deeply pained at the persecution and suffering of his children and followers, Gobind Singh decided to form a separate sect in order to fight the Mughals. This was how the Khalsa Panth was born: to protect the Hindu people who were following their tradition peacefully. In Gobind Singh’s own words:
Chidiyon se mein baaz banaaoon |
Savva laakh se ek ladhaaoon ||
I will make hawks out of sparrows |
I will fight lakhs of soldiers alone ||
