Sikhs were alienated by Jahangir, the Mughal emperor, due to his persecution of their fifth guru, Guru Arjan Dev, who was executed in 1606 for refusing to convert to Islam and for promoting the Sikh faith. Jahangir's policies included the destruction of Sikh scriptures and the imposition of oppressive taxes on Sikh communities, which deepened their mistrust and resentment towards the Mughal regime. This alienation fostered a sense of identity and resistance among Sikhs, further solidifying their distinct religious and cultural identity.
