Guru Tegh Bahadur ji
is the ninth of the Sikh Gurus. Guru Tegh Bahadur sacrificed himself to protect Hindus.
He was asked by
Aurungzeb, the
Mughal emperor, under coercion by
Naqshbandi Islamists, to convert to
Islam or to sacrifice himself. The exact
place where he attained martyrdom is in front of the Red Fort in Delhi (Lal Qila) and the gurdwara is called Sisganj.[10This marked a turning point for Sikhism. His successor, Guru Gobind Singh further militarised his followers.
