Sikh History
After thousands of years of subjugation and humiliation, people were awakened by Sikh Gurus. First, after Guru Gobind Singh, Banda Singh Bahadur destroyed the Mughal administration, then Nawab Kapur Singh won over the Punjabi country freeing it from the persecution of Mughal and other feudal Zamindars. Once Mughal administration was weakened, foreigners like Nadir Shah invaded 5 years after Martyrdom of Banda Singh Bahadur and then when Kapur Singh had further weakened Mughals, Abdali invaded Punjab (and subsequently fought Marathas at Delhi who had replaced Mughals). At that time, Kapur Singh created Dal Khalsa and asked Sikhs to occupy the area between Jamuna and Indus. In the middle of the eighteenth century the Sikhs rose up again, and over the next 50 years they establish their own Sovereign State.
