          Sikh  History 

   "waheguru ji ka khalsa
      waheguru ji ki fateh"

We would like to have your attention towards a matter that is important for our community as well as the "history" that the generation to come will look at.

introducing ourselves ,, we are a group of people working as a unit across the country to fulfil our "Desire to Serve “people with education and career related sessions ,imparting morale values through shows and plays; and saving environment through small initiatives..

Sir, the Sikh community has been serving the country since long... Whether it is the martyrdom of our ninth lord Sri Guru tegh bahadur sahib ji; to defend hinduism when Aurangzeb tried to destroy it from the roots....; or the sacrifice of thousands of Sikhs to gain independence...; the community never showed its back to the country.

 But, it is sad that we have not been given the required recognition...

The "singhs" who saved the prides f thousands f women; have been made a piece of mockery by the masses today... It’s a shame to all those and a matter of grief for us.

Coming to the point i would like you to review the history of the name "TEES HAZARI" in the relevance of "SARDAR BAGHEL SINGH”...

Baghel singh was an important military general during turbulent times in punjab in the 18th century. He was born in the village of chabal kalan in the taran taran district. He grew up to become leader of the karor singhia fighting order or misl. From humble beginings he arose to become a formidable force in sutlej in yamuna area. He aligned himself with karor singhia misl led by sardar karor singh and succeded it in 1765.

As well as being a good soldier, baghel singh was a very good political negotiator and was able to win over many adversaries to his side.

The mughals, the ruhilas,the marathas and the british sought his friendship. In March 1776, they defeated the imperial forces of Mughal emperor, Shah Alam II near Muzaffarnagar. The whole of the Yamuna Gangetic Doab was now at their mercy.

Ahmed shah durrani(abdali) invasion killed 30,000 -40,000 sikh women ,children and old . So,baghel singh fought with Abdali  near malerkotla..

After durrani"s invasion sikhs starting consolidating territories between yamuna and indus to defend the country from future mughals attacks.

"TEES HAZARI" gets its name from a force of 30,000 Sikhs, which encamped here under military general Baghel Singh in 1783, prior to attacking Delhi. Under the command of Baghel Singh and other leading warriors crossed the Yamuna and captured Saharanpur. They overran the territory of Najib ud-Daulah, the Ruhila chief, acquiring from him a tribute of eleven lakh of rupees (INR 1,100,000). In April Baghel Singh with two other sardars (Rai Singh Bhangi and Tara Singh Ghaiba) crossed the Yamuna to occupy that country, which was then ruled by Zabita Khan, who was the son and successor of Najib ud-Daulah. Sardar Baghel Singh set up an octroi-post near Sabzi Mandi to collect the tax on the goods imported into the city to finance the search and the construction of the Sikh Temples. (He did not want to use the cash received from the Government Treasury for this purpose, and most of that was handed out to the needy and poor. He often distributed sweetmeats bought out of this government gift to the Congregationalists at the place which is now known as the Pul Mithai.) 

On 11 March 1783, when the Sikhs entered the Red Fort in Delhi and occupied the Diwani-Am, the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II made a settlement with them agreeing to allow Baghel Singh to raise gurdwaras on Sikh historical sites in the city and receive six annas in a rupee (37.5%) of all the octroi duties in the capital. Baghel Singh stayed in Sabzi Mandi with 4000 troops and took charge of the police station in Chandni Chowk. He located seven sites connected with the lives of the Gurus and had shrines risen thereon within the space of eight months, from April to November 1783. Gurdwara Sis Ganj marked the spot in the main Mughal street of Chandni Chowk where Guru Tegh Bahadur had been executed under the fiat of the emperor and Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib, near modern day Parliament House, where the body was cremated. Bangla Sahib and Bala Sahib commemorated the Eighth Guru, Guru Har Krishan. Three other gurdwaras were built at Majnu ka Tilla, Moti Bagh, and Telivara.

EVERY IMPORTANT BUILDING HAS ITS “INFORMATION BOARD "DEPICTING IT HISTORY N BACKGROUND. SO WHY NOT TEES HAZARI??

WE HUMBLY REQUEST TO PUTTING UP LIGHT BOARDS OF TEES HAZARI HISTORY AT EVERY ENTRANCE OF COURT COMPLEX. IT WOULD BE PROUDFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY AND A GESTURE TO US TO SEE THE NAME OF “SARDAR BAGHEL SINGH " IN RELEVANCE OF THE NAME TEES HAZARI :: HONOURING THE ENTRANCE OF THE COURT ..
