Why did Aurangzeb kill Guru Teg Bahadur?
Guru Tegh Bahadur was the ninth Sikh Guru. The Kashmiri Brahmans, led by Pundit Kirpa Ram, came to Guru Tegh Bahadur at Anandpur in 1675 for protection against the atrocities of Aurangzeb. The Guru was summoned to Delhi. Aurangzeb asked him to embrace Islam to which he refused. Aurangzeb imprisoned him and tortured him for many days. After some days he was brought to Chandni Chowk and was beheaded on the orders of Aurangzeb. Gurudwara Sis Ganj in Delhi stands at the place of the Guru's martyrdom and Gurdwara Rakab Ganj at the site of his cremation.
How did Aurangzeb die?
The Mughals, suffering mighty losses against the tiny Sikh fighting force, apparently killed two of Guru Gobind Singh's elder sons at the battle and decimated much of the 40 warriors of Sikh army (a hundred thousand vs 40). Guru Gobind Singh, in response, sent Aurangzeb an eloquent yet defiant letter entitled the Zafarnama (Notification of Victory), written in beautiful Arabic, accusing the emperor of treachery, and claiming a moral victory. The Guru prophesised that Mughal rule in India would soon come to an end. On receipt of this letter, Aurangzeb is said to have invited Guru Gobind Singh to meet in Ahmednagar, but Aurangzeb died before Guru Gobind Singh arrived. Debatebly, some Sikhs hold to the notion that it was the shock upon reading the letter that lead to the King's ill health and ultimately his demise. Of course, Aurangzeb was almost 90 years old when this happened.
