Question

Which Gurus of Sikh transformed the pacifist Sikh section to a martial community?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Guru Arjun succumbed to torture in Lahore jail in 1606; his son and sixth Guru, Har Gobind, took up arms. Tegh Bahadur was executed in Delhi in 1675; his son Gobind Rai (later Singh) converted a sizeable chunk of hitherto peace-loving Sikhs into the militant fraternity called the Khalsa or the pure.

Answer 2

Guru Gobind Singh

Guru Tegh Bahadur's martyrdom imparted a new fillip to Sikh history. His son, Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708), the last of the Sikh Gurus, transformed the pacifist Sikh sect into a martial community. He introduced rites of initiation into well-organised Sikh army known as the Khalsa.
