Shaheedi Diwas Chhote Sahibzade 2024

In the remembrance of the matyrdom of four warrior Sikh princes, Brits Desi Society held a community communion to remember the sacrifices on Shaheedi Diwas Chhote Sahibzade 2024.

The four Sahibzade Khalsa warriors princes were the sons of Guru Gobind Singh (1666–1708), the leader of the Sikhs in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent during the Mughal empire (1526–1857). In 1699, Gobind Singh (born Gobind Rai) created the Khalsa, an elite warrior band of initiated devout orthodox Sikhs to protect the innocent from religious persecution. Gobind Singh had three wives and four sons: Ajit, Jujhar, Zorawar, Fateh. All four of his sons were initiated into the Khalsa and all were executed by Mughal forces before the age of 19.
