from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tegh Bahadur ( Punjabi : ਤੇਗ਼ ਬਹਾਦੁਰ; * April 1, 1621 ; † November 11, 1675 in Delhi ) was the ninth guru of the Sikhs .

Live and act

He was the son of the sixth Sikh Guru, Har Gobind . On April 16, 1664 he took over the office of guru after his predecessor in the office of Har Krishan died of complications from smallpox at the age of only seven in Delhi. Since many Muslims and Hindus converted to Sikhism during his time in office, the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb was critical of the development of the Sikhs and ultimately had Tegh Bahadur executed in Delhi in 1675 . Tegh Bahadur's head is said to have been brought to his son Gobind Singh , who was then nine years old. He then became the tenth and last human guru on November 11, 1675.
