Guru Nanak was succeeded by nine other gurus of Sikhism. Together they laid the foundations of a religious community in the Punjab, which would much later transform itself into the Sikh empire. Gradually this gentle religion of reconciliation became transformed into a formidable, aggressive military power. It was a metamorphosis which was at least partly thrust upon the Sikh community by Mughal Oppression. The fifth guru of Sikhism Arjun was executed in 1606 on the order of Jahangir. His successor Hargobind was to spend his years in constant struggle against the Mughal, first against Jahangir and later against Shah Jahan. The ninth Guru, Tegh Bahadur was executed by Aurangzeb for refusing to embrace Islam. The stage had been set for a full confrontation with Mughal authority. It was against such a background that Sikhism’s tenth guru Guru Govind Singh (1675-1708) set about organizing the Sikhs into a military power. He gave new discipline to Sikhism. Its adherent were forofferden wine and Tobacco and they were required to conform to the 5 outwards signs of allegiance to keep their hair unshaven and to wear short drawers (kuchcha), a comb (Kungha), an iron bangle (kara) and a dragger (kirpan).
With Guru Govind Singh’s death the khalsa the Sikh brotherhood emerged as the controlling body of Sikhism and the granth, the official compilation of Guru Govind Singh’s teaching became the Bible of Sikhism. At this point the Sikhs took to the hills, it was here constantly harassed by Mughal forces that Sikh militarism was forged into an effective weapon and tempered by fire. Gradually the Sikhism emerged from their safe forts in the hills and made their presence felt in the plains of Punjab. As Nadir Shah retired from Delhi laden with the prize of war in 1739, the stragglers of his Persian army were cut down by the Sikhs. Similarly Ahmad Shah Durrani’s first intrusion into India (1747-1748) was made the livelier by Sikh stories into his rear guard. Gradually the Sikh became both more confident and more effective and their quite frequent military reversal served only to strengthen their determination and to deepen their sense of identity. Their first notable success came about 1756 when the Sikhs temporarily occupied Lahore and used the Mughal mint to strike their own rupee bearing the inscription: Coined by the grace of the khalsa in the country of Ahmad conquered by Jessa the Kalal. But the Sikhs were as yet most effective as guerrilla bands operating out of the hill country. On Ahmad Shah fifth expedition into India the Sikh reverted to their well-tried roll of forming tight mobile units which could choose both the time and the place of their attacks on the Durrani army. In spite of a serious reverse near Bernala in 1762 at the hands of Ahamad shah the Sikhs once again regrouped. The Sikhs now swept all before them recapturing Lahore in 1765. The whole tract of land between the Jhelum and the Sutlej was now divided among the Sikh chieftains. At Lahore and later at Amritsar the Govind Shahi rupee proclaiming that Guru Govind Singh has received Deg. Tegh and fath from Nanak was struck. The name of the Mughal emperor was pointedly omitted. The Sikh now subdivided into 12 missls equals each responsible for its own fate and each conducting its own military adventures into surrounding areas.
After the death of Maharaja Ranjit Sigh the Sikh empire began to the disintegrate as power passed from the chief to chief in murderous rivalry. At same time relationship with the British began to deteriorate. The treaty of 1809 no longer proved able to held the peace and the Sikh army attacked the British (1845-1846) only to be badly beaten in a series of confrontations. The treaty of Lahore which followed the first Anglo Sikh war reduced the Sikh army to a maximum of twenty thousand men and twelve thousand cavalry. It obliged the Sikh to cede the Jalandhar Doab and Kashmir to the British and required them to pay an indemnity of 50 thousand pounds and accept a British resident at their court. In 1848the Sikhs again revolted and were again crushed. In 1849 the Punjab was annexed and from that time onward they came under British rule.FAST*LOW COST*SHIPPING!WORLDWIDE SHIPPING:REGISTERED POST-TRACK ABLE SHIPPING
