Key Points

  • After the death of Shri Guru Gobind Singh, the Sikhs revolted against the Mughals under the leadership of Banda Bahadur. 
  • After Guru Gobind Singh's death, the institution of Guruship came to an end and the leadership of the Sikhs passed to his trusted disciple Banda Singh Bahadur.
  • Banda Singh Bahadur was a Sikh warrior & a commander of the Khalsa army.
  • Since creating his Khalsa rule in Punjab, Banda Singh Bahadur had abolished the zamindari regime & had given "property rights" to the land tiller.
