Veer Bal Diwas 2022 History

Veer Bal Diwas is observed to pay honor and tribute to the sacrifices made by Sahibzada Zorawar Singh and Sahibzada Fateh Singh. The Veer Bal Diwas will be observed to honor the ‘Sahibzadas’, the four sons of Guru Gobind Singh. On this day, Sahibzada Zorawar Singh who was just 6 years old, and Fateh Singh who was just 9 years old, were killed by Mughal forces in Sirhind, Punjab.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji had four sons Sahibzada Ajit Singh, Sahibzada Jujhar Singh, Sahibzada Zorawar Singh, and Sahibzada Fateh Singh. Guru Gobind Singh Ji was the tenth and final Sikh guru. Guru Gobind Singh Ji and his army were attacked by the Mughal Army at the Anandpur Sahib Fort. The Anandpur Sahib Fort was attacked by the Mughals and after holding for months, food and other essentials started to diminish. By this time, Guru Gobind Singh Ji and his family accepted an offer by Aurangzeb of safe passage out of Anandpur.

Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh were the youngest sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. They were held captive by the Mughal army and were forced to convert to Islam. The two young Sahibzadas refused to convert and expressed their love for their religion. After this, the emperor ordered the army to bury them alive between the walls.
