The Battle of Kiratpur, also known as Battle of Kiratpur Sahib, was a battle between the Sikhs commanded by Guru Hargobind and the Mughal Empire commanded by the Rulers and Pathans of Ropar. It was also the last skirmish between the Sikhs and the Mughals.[4]
Battle
The Mughals, Pathans, Gujjars and other locals at Ropar were jealous of Guru Hargobind's popularity and wanted to avenged an earlier defetar of theirs. The Pathans launched a supries attack on Guru Hargobind who was only accompanied with 22 Sikh.[5][4]
Guru Hargobind was forced to take shelter in Brhaman Majra where he and the Sikhs held off the Mughal and coalition forces until reinforcements from Kiratpur could arrive.[4][5][6]
Legacy
A Gurdwara was constructed at the location of the battle by Sant Kartar Singh Bhindranwale in 1975.[5]
