They slept on the bare floor and listened to the stories of Mata Ji. The tower was freezing at night and they were allowed nothing to eat or drink. Mata Ji confronted him so he went to turn them in to the officials, who arrested the Sahibzade and Mata Gujri on December 8 th and confined them in Thanda Burj (Cold tower) at Sarhind (pronounced sar-handh). Gangu was greedy and stole Mata Ji’s bag of coins. At that time it was winter and they were wandering through the jungles, so Gangu offered for them to stay in his home. Meanwhile, on December 5 th Mata Gujri and the younger Sahibzaade Zorawar (age 9) Singh and Fateh Singh (age 7), and the cook Gangu were separated from Guru Ji. When the Mughals invaded the next day, Sangat Singh and Sant Singh were martyred. Guru Ji gave his clothing to Sangat Singh, and in the meantime escaped, as well as Bhai Dya Singh, Dharam Singh and Mani Singh. The remaining five Sikhs used their authority of Guruship and told guru Ji to escape at night, followed by three Sikhs. Guru Ji writes in the Zafarnama (to Emperor Aurangzeb), “It matters little if a jackal through cunning and treachery succeeds in killing two lion’s cubs, for the lion himself lives to inflict retribution on you.” 37 Sikhs were martyred including 3/5 Panj Pyare. Sahibzada Ajit Singh and Jujhar Singh were martyred while leading other Sikhs into battle. See picture of the original Kachi Gari on the right () Our original history has been lost just for the sake of modernization. At Chamkaur the Sikhs stayed in a mud two-story house. Very sadly, the original Chamkaur-de-Gari/Kachi Gari was demolished by the SGPC and replaced with a new Gurdwara Sahib. The Sikhs were left to fight with swords and spears only.

There were over 100,000 Moghul soldiers on foot and 700 mounted, pursuing the small group of 40 Sikhs. They were “a mere forty defying a hundred thousand,” in the words of Guru Ji. On Decemthe enemy had surrounded Fort Chamkaur and the Sikhs had exhausted their ammunition and arrows. Sahibzaade Ajit Singh (18) and Jujhar Singh (14) made it to the Fort of Chamkaur by December 6 with Guru Gobind Singh Ji and a group of 40 Sikhs. They suffered many casualties trying to cross the Sarsa, and many precious manuscripts of prayers were also lost in the river. On the night of DecemGuru Gobind Singh Ji and his fellow Sikhs left Anandpur Sahib when it was raining heavily, and crossed the Sarsa river with the Mughal army pursuing them.
