The Mughal rulers turned against the Sikhs primarily due to the growing influence and power of the Sikh community, which challenged Mughal authority in the Punjab region. Tensions escalated after Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Sikh Guru, was executed in 1606 for refusing to convert to Islam and for supporting a rival political faction.
