History :
Guru Gobind Singh, the leader of the Sikhs in Punjab, had four sons. They were called Char Sahibzade Khalsa. In 1699, Gobind Singh established the Khalsa Panth. It was established with the aim of protecting the people of the Sikh community from religious persecution. Guru Gobind Singh had four sons from three wives: Ajit, Jujhar, Zorawar and Fateh, all of whom were part of the Khalsa. All four of them were executed by the Mughal army before the age of 19.
