Overview edit

This is a list of all Sikh Battles against Mughals, Hill States, Afghans, British, and India. The 5th Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev, was tortured and executed on the orders of Jahangir in 1606. Guru Hargobind Sahib, the sixth Sikh guru, introduced militarization to Sikhi after the execution of his father. In response to his father's execution, he fought several battles against the Mughal army and defeated them. Later, the 9th Sikh guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, was also executed, on the orders of Aurangzeb in 1675 after he refused to convert to Islam. Guru Gobind Singh, the last human Sikh Guru, started the Khalsa tradition in 1699 and fought further battles against the Mughals and the Hill States. Before his passing in 1708, Guru Gobind Singh gave Guruship to Guru Granth Sahib and gave the leadership of the Khalsa Fauj to his recently converted Sikh and trusted General, Banda Singh Bahadur, who led further battles against the Mughals and Hill States and created the first Khalsa Rule in 1710 but was captured in late 1715 and executed in 1716 and with him, the first first Khalsa Rule fell in 1716 as well. Years after, the Sikhs reorganized themselves into Misls in the 1730's and 1740's where they fought battles against the Mughal and Durrani Empire and created the Sikh Confederacy and Dal Khalsa. In 1799, Maharaja Ranjit Singh established the Sikh Empire where they continued their battles against the Durrani Empire and Emirate Of Kabul and towards the end they fought 2 wars with the British in 1845-1846 and 1848-1849 which they ended up losing and their Empire being Annexed. In 1984 the Indian Army attacked Harmandir Sahib where Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his followers had their headquarters at, it resulted in the death of thousands of Sikhs, Bhindranwale and his followers, and the future death of Indira Gandhi which ignited the 1984 Sikh Massacre. These events caused the Punjab Insurgency where Sikh militant groups called Kharku's where trying to establish a independent Country known as Khalistan in Punjab but were defeated in the early 1990's. There have not been any major wars or battles since the 1990's.

For example, during the battle of Chamkaur, the last five surviving Sikhs constituted themselves into the Council of Five, and they commanded Guru Gobind to leave the fortress and save himself to reassemble the Sikhs. Before Guru Gobind Singh passed away, he ended the line of living gurus. Through the institution of the panj pyare, the Guru envisioned a continuing society that would conduct itself democratically and choose its leaders based on merit.
