4. Sahibzada Fateh Singh (12 December 1699- 26 December 1705),
the youngest of Guru Gobind Singh's four sons, was born to Mata
Jito ji at Anandpur on 12 December 1699.
During the flight from Anandpur, when the Sikhs, having been
promised safe passage to Punjab, Sahibzada Fateh Singh was,
along with his elder brother Zorawar Singh, put under the care of
his grandmother, Mata Gujari Kaur ji,
Unfortunately in the confusion of the rain swollen Sarsa and an
attack by Muslim pursuers, the Guru's two youngest sons and
their Grandmother were separated from the main body of Sikhs.
Gangu brought Mata Gujri and the two Sahibzadas to his native
village of Sahedi. Bribed by the Mughals, he turned over the
three members of Guru Gobind's family to the faujdar of
Morinda. They were then brought to Sirhind in the presence of
Wazir Khan, the Nawab of Sirhind.
While the Thanda Burj was built to capture the cool night breezes
of air drawn over water channels in the areas hot summers,
during the dead of winter the unheated burj offered no comfort
for the Guru's mother and sons.
5. The two sons of Guru Gobind, Baba Zorawar singh
ji(9 years old) and Baba Fateh Singh ji (7 years old)
were offered safe passage if they became Muslims.
With a courage that belied their years, both boys
refused to do so.
Wazir Khan sentenced them to death. They were
bricked up alive within a wall.
Although he did not know it then, but Wazir Khan
was to pay for the crime that he had committed.
After Guru Gobind Singh Ji's death, Madhodas
Bairagi, a hermit from Nanded, whom the Guru
baptised as Gurbaksh Singh, also known as Banda
Bahadur, besieged the Punjab. After laying waste,
the cities of Samana and Sandhaura, he moved
towards Sirhind and after defeating the Mughal
forces, killed Wazir Khan.
The place where the two sons of Guru Gobind were
bricked alive is today known as Fatehgarh Sahib.
