The Rise Of Regional States - Punjab

  • The Sikh Khalsa (army of the pure) revolted against the economic and political repressions in Punjab towards the Aurangzeb’s rule. Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and last guru, transferred the Sikhs into a warrior community and established the doctrine of Khalsa or the “Military Bortherhood” of Sikhs, which gave to Sikh community a great sense of unity.
